Good Lookin on the Feedback. To answer ur question I Have the fantom, mophatt, and triton all connected into the inputs of my Delta 1010lt. I then midi sync them into FL and Do the beat all in FL. Just go into the mixer and pick what channel you what each imput to go through, and use the midi out plugin in fl to control each module. To save time and space I usually just record 8-16 bar phrases (to get the actual audio onto the PC) and contsruct the song in the FL playlist. but everything is done in FL. It's pretty cool because I can combine Vsts with my hardware.

btw tight beat ccytzo

 

[CcytzO_Loc]

fa sho man thanks...tryin ta step it up to your level though wit the hardware...jus cant afford it right now.....

 

[INCHEZ]

I think Reason is a great program, it's very unique, the layout, the way it works, the synthesizers, the creativity put behind designing it. I enjoyed it a lot when I was using it, but without audio support for vocals and no plugin support, it needs more growth.

..I agree...

To me,,, software is easier to use, Now that I'm finally getting the hang of it...

Imma get Rewire soon.
Hopin to expand my beats with some sampling

damn that succs Inchez....i wish i had all that shit you sold....if you need some reason refills i got some though.....

I know...(overdue bills, overdue rent, and debtcollectors)
I did keep the Yamaha DX100 thou,, couldn't let that one go.

I plan on pickin up a custom made talkbox in the near future....

That be cool if we could swap ....refills for art or some other samples I got.

By, the way...nice tracks. Some killa valley shit right there..keep it up pimpin

 

[CcytzO_Loc]

it seems to me like anyone that gets really used to using fruity loops or reason isnt very good wit the other......i could be wrong but i aint met no one whos makin slaps wit both of em and on the same level wit each...i can put some basic shit together wit reason but its too much bullshit in my opinion and im so used to usin fl and knowin my way around its interface i can make a slap in like 10 minutes....reason i barely get some lil shit goin in 10 min and get frustrated and go bacc to fl....lol....and the fact that it dont let you use no vst's wit it is wacc.....i do got some decent refills i jus dont like usin reason too much.....

 

[28g w/o the bag]

Reason is an All In One beat making program, meaning, you either use what it supplies you, or what you can get from refills or samples, or you don't use it at all. Reason needs VST support, and Audio support, period. Then it will be a contender. That's why I strictly label it as one big instrument, because I Re-wire it and use it as one.

yeah i agree, i would in fact fuck with Reason alot more if i can load my VSTi's into it... for now, i ReWire it to Cubase SE when i need to use a sound on Reason

[28g w/o the bag]

and this is what i use:
MacBook, 2GHz Intel
Cubase SE (for beats)
Reason 3.0 (for use with Cubase via ReWire)
ReCycle 2.1
Ableton Live 5.2 (for recording, for the time being)
Assorted VSTi's, for use with Cubase
Korg Triton (as MIDI Controller)
Rode NTK Condenser Mic

i'll be purchasing more shit soon... just got to figure out what

[Big E]

I have a Power Up Custom computer with AMDX2 3800+, 1 gig DDR, EMU 1212M, FL Studio, Nuendo 2.0, Beringer UB802 Mixer, MXL 990 Mic, and ART Tube PAC Preamp/Compressor. I'm in need of some monitors so if yall know of some cheap ones holla. It's basic but what yall think? The only thing I spent hella money on was Nuendo I paid like $1000 for that ish 3 years ago.

 

[taetae]

I got alesis m1 active mk2's for like 350 or 400. They sound nice n flat.

 

[J_ENTERTAINMENT]

I use Reason 3.0, Recycle 2.1, Adobe Audition and a Axiom 61 midi controller. If you buy any of the Axiom midi controllers it comes with Ableton Live 6.0 lite which I dont know how to use at all. Reason comes with factory sounds but I was able to get copies of sounds from the Moog, ROland Fantom, Motif and Triton. Was able to get 20 gigs worth of these sounds on 5 dvds for $30. I'm almost positive that it's not every sound from these keyboards but it's good enough for a beginner like me.

Hmm. Have you tried Cubase SX? And was that a Steinberg representative that told you that you needed to upgrade? Clearly just trying to push product sales? I heard Cubase 4 is pretty unstable right now and that everyone is waiting until it's solid, since it came out not too long ago, everyone is pretty much using Cubase SX 3, maybe you should get on game if your a Cubase fan.

 

[Mr. Samos]

Or fuck with Logic instead.
