Probably a stupid question, but how do I run a high pass filter through my instruments? I'm using Reason.

If you want to be able to apply it to any of your instruments, set up an aux send/return on your mixer. To do this just connect a cable from the aux send to the the input of the filter, then connect the output to the return on your mixer. You're now able to control how much, if any, of the effect is sent to a particular track on your mixer.

colonp posted:Won't that also have the original signal coming through? I remember it working like that. A send basically just allows you to control how much of a given channel's signal you're sending to the connected device. The primarily benefit is being able to route multiple channels to a single device. If you just need an effect on one track then insert effects work just fine too. Edit: Ah, my bad on the filter, I don't spend too much time in Reason nowadays.

Route your instrument through Thor and wrap them in a combinator like so -  Click here for the full 746x527 image.  Click here for the full 740x535 image.

I never noticed that until now. Why does the Mastering EQ have a LP filter but not one you can move the cutoff on? WHAT

Most people have widescreen now, with 1680 x 1050 you should be able to run 2 racks next to eachother. Also, a bunch of new interface concepts wouldn't hurt either.

I'm not sure if anyone here will be interested in this, but you never know... http://www.lennardigital.com/modules/sylenth1/groupbuy.php There's a group buy going on for Sylenth1. It's currently at €99 and could go all the way down to €79 if some more people sign up. Given that it doesn't conclude until the 31st, I think there's a very high chance that it'll finish at €79, which is an absolute steal for such a massively awesome synth. They've finally released an AU version too, so Logic users can get onto this without having to worry about hacky VST->AU wrappers. I bought mine a while back and it's a fantastic synth.

I think I'm going to snag it as an end-of-the-year gift for myself even though I shouldn't buy anything more. While I'm not exactly a fan of the interface it's probably a good bread & butter software replacement for Pro-53 (Massive's just too powerful and far out there to use for this kind of thing, IMHO ). The D16 group buy is ending soon - 100 euros now  .

It baffles me that these companies make Mac VST versions but not AU versions.....surely the number of Mac Cubase users is dwarfed by the number of Logic users?

I can only assume that it requires a significant degree of extra coding, otherwise I really can't understand why they wouldn't do it. Part of me is tempted to just jump on it anyway, as they seem to imply that AU versions will follow eventually, but tbh i don't think I can justify spending €100 on something which might come out at some point (supposedly).

They need to rewrite most of the code for AU I believe. Additionally, the framework for AU forces you to write your own GUI code, which VST doesn't.

While the rest of your post is spot on and wonderful I have to fully disagree with this quote, its not great advice. Reverb removes low end at high volumes, and at low volumes it won't help a kick much at all. If you really want to give your kick a full boomy, roomy sound you should split the kick into three tracks. The first should be a midi track that's triggering the other two tracks. Track one should be your kick with a low pass filter around 100, the other should be your kick with a high pass filter on the exact same spot as your other track (so usually around 100 as well). Now you can hook up a reverb send to the high passed track and throw as much reverb as you want on it without affecting the low end quality of your kick. Keep in mind this can tend to destroy the initial click/attack of your kick, but if it's mixed right and you use the right kind of reverb on it (spring reverb or large room reverb with predelay both work good) it should be fine. You can experiment with different kinds of stereo effects on your kick, and as long as they aren't touching frequencies below 100.. boom baby! Try removing all stereo separation from the low pass filtered track as well, with something like Live's Utility. If you're working with a kick from a sample set this is probably already done, though. Bass needs no stereo spread. Bass is simple.

Definitely not its own thread-worthy so I figure I'll ask here. I've done tons of googling but I feel a bit behind on the jargon, so yeah: I am the proud owner of a tb303 with a devilfish mod. It was given to me as a gift from someone who didn't use it that much last year and I use it a bit but I'm absolutely horrible with the sequencer, and I KNOW its possible to control it through an external midi controller/DAW but I don't know exactly what kind of converter I need (cv/gate-->midi I think?) but I've seen a bunch out there and I really just don't know what I actually need, so does anyone have any experience/insight? Thanks in advance

As far as I know the 303 cv plugs are output only, unless you have the additional DF mod with CV inputs you'll actually have to do another mod to add inputs that can be used. If you do have the modded version then yes, you'll need a cv to midi converter. I've used the Kenton cv to midi converter, as long as you ensure the converter is set to what the 303 is expecting and on the right channel it's a fairly painless process, if slightly annoying keeping track of all the leads. Others to look out for are; Phillip Rees used to make a box called the Little Midi to CV that was fairly well respected and a bit cheaper than the Kenton box. Doepfer also have one called the MCV4. Bare in mind that none of these converters are cheap and you'll be looking at minimum £80 for one unless you can find a bargain secondhand. Your other option is a sequencer like the Futureretro Mobius, a bit more expensive than the plain converter but does a lot more. fat gay nonce fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Dec 9, 2008 |

And yeah, its already modded so I'd probably be looking at the Kenton as it seems that despite being just what I wanted, the Phillip Rees MCV is discontinued and I don't see any used ones for sale anyways. Thanks though

Well, having what your influences had at your disposal is always a good thing, especially if you can take it in a new direction while you're at it. All music is an amalgamation of old and new anyway.

Is the ability to tweak the sounds better worth a hundred? That, and you get all three for less than the price of one of the drum machines. quote:And what's the consensus on the phoscyon? wayfinder posted:Can anyone explain to me the obsession with getting the absolutely perfect 909 and 808 and 303 emulation? I've never understood it. Emulations don't have to be quantum-level electron perfect, as long as you can fool the most anally retentive golden ears listener it's good . There's a dozen lovely SynthEdit creations using 1994 samples in mono from Hyperreal.I've had a Drumstation and the AcidLab bassline, I'd rather have something that's easier to integrate with the rest of the studio than these things.

Maybe I just don't see the appeal in getting the sound of those machines just right, never mind at the level of dedication some developers seem to have, and while there are a lot of tracks using them that I have emotional attachments to, that never transferred over to the X0Xs themselves - unlike with everybody else on the planet, apparently.

What would be the point of calling them X0X emulation in the first place then? They're trying to give what they sell, there's tonnes of other drum machines out there if you feel no attachment or use for an 808 or, 909.
