Record: New DAW from Propellerheads

[Zargon the Destroyer]

they have a comp mode similar to logic pro in this

Reaper, Pro Tools and probably some other also have this.

No, Reaper doesn't have it. It's still a much whined-about feature request.

There's a horrible kludge that sort of does something sort of like it, but it doesn't have swipe comping.

Hmmm looks like there's no PPC/Univeral Binary support. If you've got a G5 you're out of luck!

Anyone up for some cool pics?

They may not be up at that address for long(I'll post new link if I move them).

what is ID8 - it's on the rack

Also it looks like it will have that lovely reason control voltage thing going on - which allows you to use audio to affect synth/fx parameters

Something which logic/cubase/sonar/reaper definitely do not have

Wrong.. remove Reaper from that list because it has it.

Same for FL Studio, it has it as well.

Anyhow, I'm starting to understand the appeal for this Record software. As a "my first DAW" it could actually work as it is an all inclusive, completely integrated package. As a semi-tech savvy IT nerd I have no problem with software like Cubase, ProTools, Reaper, Logic etc but I realize yet again that not everybody have this experience. So, I will have to consider Record as a recommendation to people who are just starting out. With this integration, it is much easier to do troubleshooting and "explaining over the phone" than in hosts that allow you to load up VST plugins and instruments.

Damn.. the hype is getting to me.

I'm guessing there's no 64-bit version either, as it's not mentioned anywhere. I realise it may be the most efficient host with regards to RAM, but it would be nice if it could use all this memory I have.

Hello,

just two small sequencer questions:

- Does it have linked clips like in most other DAWs?
- Does the MIDI editor has a mute button for single events?

I don't want to miss each feature. That's (mainly) why I use Cubase as the MIDI editor and Reason only as a synth rack.

This feature is available in Reason 4's sequencer so I assume it will most definitely be there for audio and midi clips.

Ghost clips are not in Reason 4, so not sure about those.

Also, there is no x64 version mentioned, so I'm very curious if that's included or available.

Another advantage of a closed system like reason and record is of course the ability to swap projects with other people. One can always be 100% sure that your project will play and behave exactly like it did at home. This makes a strong music sharing community easily possible and has already been proven with Reason.

I admit, I am intrigued by this much more now that I think about it.

Cheers!

That said the 400meg file that ones audio files will create wont be able to be easily shared

[kelvyn]

Duh! My brain hurts cos I'm just not getting it... two programs that work together should/could be one program. Seems logical to me. K

So long as they have the correct refills

Thanks for the reply.

I don't mean the mute button for clips, but for single MIDI events inside clips. I think Reason 4 does not have it. Unfortunately

Well, it would not seem logical to someone who has a need to record audio but has no need for all that Reason offers. They just want to lay down tracks and use outboard gear. On the other hand, there will be users who love to use Reason but already have a DAW that they prefer.

Seems logical to me.

they said musicians of some genres are really satisfied with Reason only, Record is for who wants to record guitars, vocals, etc...

but....WHERE IS MIDI OUT? electronic musicians seem not to be able to sequence hardware synths

[JediMind]

I'm so sorry, but I'm just not impressed. At least not this time. Recording guitar, bass and vocals? Timestretching? C'mon, Live has been doing that for quite some time (and a few others too)

Oh, well, back to Reaper

With the crazy terabyte torrenting going on these days I don't think the idea of swapping 400 mb files too far fetched. I've often thought of employing this kickass guitarist friend of mine for projects but he lives 600 miles away. While we both have Cubase it seems like kind of a chore to exchange zipped archives with fiddly file structures... and also we don't have the same plugins.

With Record+Reason I could see it happening though. I mail him a single file (say, a 100 kB Reason song saved in Record), it will sound exactly the same at his place, he adds a couple of guitar tracks sends back the file which shouldn't be too enormous, probably under 100 mb, or under 50 if he trashed redundant takes.

May not sound like a huge difference on first glance, but the elimination of a few steps and mouse clicks can make a world of difference. Think iPhone Safari usage (95% of the installed base) vs generic smartphone web browser usage (15%). They both have browsers so why are only the iPhone guys using this functionality? Because it's nifty, and the path of least resistance actually leads to surfing rather than not surfing.
