Any help would be much appreciated on this issue.

that is wiered never heard of that what i would do is uninstall it then delete any reason files left over then go into start/Run/type in regedit and search for any propelerheads files and delete them then restart your pc and install again

what sound card do you have??

decklyn · Post by **decklyn** » Sat Oct 20, 2007 6:23 pm

if your card has something like creative's eax, it may have been turned on somehow. That's really the only way (that I can think of) that reverb could be applied to all sounds in windows - your sound card would need to have a reverb modeller that has been turned on and left on somehow.

It could be feedback, with latency so it's not just a squeal. Although i don't see how installing Reason, legit or not, would cause it.

Any chance you can capture it and post a sample?

I am convinced that the sound quality of Reason has not changed at all from 1 to 4. Never was a problem with it to begin with. Just more often than not it's some amateur shit.

i would disagree mate, the difference in quality of the 2.0/2.5 engine and the 3.0 engine was huge! not a big difference between 3 and 4 in terms of sound quality though, did a bit of A/B'ing and i think the summing on the mixers is a little better now (but still a bit dodgy!).

It's been a while since v2 but honestly I don't recall a difference in sound. I just put 4 on my comp and I cannot tell the difference at all from 3. Even the little gap you get when exporting sounds is the same size. Something else... I don't think the sequencer was improved at all. My work flow has actually slowed a bit. Aside from the Thor, I'm pretty dissapointed with this release. Might finally be time to phase this prog out.

i was extremely disappointed with the lack of improvements with the mixer. should have been completely redesigned imo - why not replace those pissy 'Bass' and 'Treble' channel EQ's (if you can even call them that!) with a basic, non-resonant, sweepable HPF and LPF? would be a damn sight more useful! that's something i really struggle with in Reason - i go filter crazy when i mix on a board or inside a DAW and its not something you can do all that easily or well in Reason.

1. Envelope controlled filter
2. Filters on the malstrom
3. Mclass stereo imager which is effectively an LP & a HP
4. Thors filters, All 4 types

what more do you want?

yeah fair do's mate! I use the envelope controlled filter and Malstrom to filter currently. and i suppose the vocoder can be used for this to good effect. what i really want is an EQ akin to the channel EQ in Logic, or Waves Q series for example. I still maintain that all the EQs available in Reason could be a lot better. I have never thought about using the Stereo Imager as a filter though, good idea cheers!

twatty vagitis · Post by **twatty vagitis** » Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:35 am

i actually hate the vocoder eq, never use it, only thing that sometimes gets used on the vocoder is for some BASIC spectral analysis

personally tho i think the mclass EQ is quite nice, it gives me all i need and is effective at what it does, and the modular nature of reason allows me to chain a number of eqs if i really wanna get deep into tweeking a sound. I dont think ive ever used the old 2 band parametric. and i def agree on the mixer eq, its a bit weak.

yeah im not completely dissatisfied with the mclass EQ, i suppose im just being fussy

i think its great for things like sharp parametric notches and adding sheen with a high shelf... but if that low cut filter had a variable frequency, and there was a similar high cut on the other end.... and even perhaps an adjustable roll-off

now that'd be something!

reason 4 is better with the cpu then 3 !

that was quite cool for me cause i use lots of channels most of the time

I thought the opposite. Then again maybe it's just because I have been lazy about maintaining my comp.

why cant i just copy a pattern from the matrix squencer into a track like in reason3?

edit- ha nevermind the option decided to show itself as i was reachin for the reason 3 cds
