Happens to me all the time as well, then when I move it up to 140 it sounds too fast and I settle at 130ish...

Haha,

I was actually on about not changing the tempo from 140, and always creating a tune solid on 140, THEN thinking "shit 140 is done to death" and then it all sounds shit at 135.


Rest of you guys making stuff at 120 just called yourselfs out on that one :p

to be fair though making all tunes at 135-145 is NOT for the win

But yeah templates always help and save shitloads of time setting things up, on Reason anyway lol.

LOL...even more funny than forgetting to change the BPM, is spending a good amount of time doing automation on what you think is volume, but ends up being something else.


I often draw automation when the tune is on pause or whatever....so I don't hear it til afterwards
