well ill be rather honest reason, yeah its nice and sexy at first but really really a bitch not as much as a learning curve mostly becuase you are limited. i honestly belive you dont need to even botehr with reason at all, just work with fruity loops download a load of free vstis which are widely availble and there are sevral threads containting litterly hundreds of them. once you get the hang of fruity loops id say skip cubase and go straight to logic. reason is logic is very powerfull and very verstile. youll find that the vstis you cna get will blow any reason synth clear outta the water. however the problem is with vstis is tie sound card = tie sounds outta the vsti. example my friend he was about to give up kus he couldnt get any decent sounds outta any vstis no matter which he used but then he bought a m-audio 1814 firewire card and he litterly his pants when he heard the amazing sound differnce. so my suggestion is go onto ebay buy yourself an m-audio card, make sure it cna do atleast 96k sampleing and if you ahve the money get one that can do 192, then get fruity loops download a monterous library of vstis and then start en around. when i say en around i mean en around dive into ti head first till you atleast 100feet under then dont stop till your tracks sound medicore. it doesnt happen overnight for all people but some people it does, you will just have to see. off course this is my opion however to throw in peoples faces how crappy reason is i suggest you search for reason export limitations.... sorry reasons just is . yes you cna make alot of really good sounding tracks but people that use reason you can tell rather quickly its reason. many people say this is bull but just try it and youll see what i mean. anyhow i hope this helps any deuce... and rember smoking weed all weekend and working on production go hand in hand |
That's the biggest load of bull I've seen here. Ever.
It's obvious the weed has gotten to you. |

Agreedx2
Reason can put Vsti's To shame if in the right hands
As in the group Progression everything is created in reason its self.
No other programs used cept to master. Its about the user not the software. |

Exactly right. Like when people go to a production software conference to see some-one like BT do a demo they go to see BT not the software. They want to see what BT can do and what he's found using this piece of software. |

On the topic of a soundcard, how might I be able to check to see if the one I am currently using is decent enough to support using a program like Fruity Loops? I ask mainly because I just downloaded the demo and was checking it out, and all the sounds I was getting sounded like crap. Everything was really fuzzy and distorted. Plus, I was reading ZxZDevil's posting, and checking out that firewire card thing mentioned, and my card definitely pails in comparison. However, I'm not sure I need something to that extent. It seemed like that was a good deal for people doing live studio recordings; which is far from where I am right now. Thanks! |
hmm i have an soundblaster live..oldie, does the job well.
this distrotion/clipping can come if your cpu usage is to high, or the output of the tune is to high.
Also one BIG tip, don't even bother about hardware and cards and such, get a decent pc and start to learn, then when your ready, start thinking of new hardware/software etc. |

| i'll tweak around with the wav settings and see what i can come up with. so thanks for the opinion on that. i don't have a bad computer, (3.02 p4 with 700 something mb ram). so i think that being able to just work with i have for right now is the most appealing :D as long as my sound card doesn't still suck after i get it to work with fruity loops, i'll be happy. but if it does, i'll search through the threads on here to see if there was a posting in the past. |

agreed reason can do good but i still state that reason tracks that are done souly in reason are . not musically but sound wise it all sounds the same. now if you rewire reason then why even bother with reason just use cubase seriously now, its not a load of bull and soundcard does matter quite a bit with vstis. and to clearly say tis load of crap without evens aying whats crap si rather ignorant. what i siad was rather usefull, and no you dont need a bad ass card you just need one that can do higher smaple rates and can produce better sounds.
on another note is your soundcard a built in soundcard or not, usually built ins really suck ass. even going out and buyign a 20dollar sound blaster card will make things sound better |

Yes what you're saying is true but you're forgetting the question at hand. You can't expect a self proclaimed newbie who only just installed a demo of FL onto his PC to be able to use Cubase can you? |
