i still reckon reason works best rewired into something like logic, you have like a super daw. nothings better than malstrom

so if im side-chaining my kick to my bass, do i want my kick to duck my bass, or my bass to duck my kick

how would you duck a kick drum?
lol sorry to be a jerk just sayin, a sound needs to have some sustain to it to make it "duckable" -- therefore the answer would be

also -- "kick/duck/bass" sounds like a childrens' game doesn't it

ok, and yes it does lol

anyone know where i can find some comprehensive information about risers, mostly the bubble kind, i know theres one one here bbut its not very in depth

also how would sidechain a nnxt to a combinator? pictures appreciated

give an example of a bubble riser?
you're not gonna find a 45 page manual on it, when risers are a simple case of

sustained note/pitch bend/filter automation.

soo simple.

i've got that much down, it still sounds like shit tho, and i've been up all night fucking with it, its too short and still sounds like a cat

dammit, just made my most massive tune to massive, any advice on getting some subtley into it?

i use only reason... not through choice, just my laptop just crashes on cubase!

http://www.soundcloud.com/dubwired i think it can be used alone effectively, but i find it limits what i can produce

Reason isn't limiting as such. It just takes a LOT of extra work to get to where you want to be.

I believe Kode9 uses Reason too. But he also uses hardware synths so he must have some audio recording program too

i figured froggy style was in reason

Yeah, Malstrom has a really unique sound. He talks about how to make a bunch of his basses in the Q&A he did here.

Reason is a DAW on its own. probably better for some with the inclusion of Record. Record is optional and I like that because I don't need it. I like the fact it's not geared towards the audio tracking side of producing...fewer menus and other red tape. To get around the audio engine and mastering tools being questionable I sometimes export the audio for every instrument separately and mix that in Sonar. For a quick master I'll export to soundforge and have a play there. I'm considering sending some instruments through some outboard gear, now that I have a puter capable of playing and recording lol

Here's my favourite trick anyway:

Create a delay on the master mixer, as a send and return effect. Pan it all the way to the left. Switch the delay time down to about 10ms and turn the feedback right down.

On the return section of the mixer, turn the delay return down to about 63-64. Change this later if the sound isn't central.

Decide which instrument to use for this (best not the sub!) and turn the appropriate send all the way up on that channel and pan it hard right. Turn the volume down by 50% of it's original value.

Stick some headphones on to really get what's going on there. I tend to put some instruments through this kind of channel to allow an extra environment if it's a real busy mix - whatever is sent through this delay has the psycho-acoustic effect of being somewhere else in the room....type thing :s

good idea man, thanks for the tip, i'll be using it on my next track
