Reason Block - the one function that makes all the difference

double post….

Arranger track in Cubase knocks Reasons blocks completely out of the water on every possible level if that type of song construction is what you're looking for. Blocks is a pita imo.

Sorry, but saying that means completely ignoring what this thread is about!

*The type of song construction" that Cubase's Arranger track provides is not at all what I am looking for and that is the actual point of this thread.

I always read the threads I respond to - what exactly am I ignoring? You stated an overwrite function of blocks that's a game changer to you. However you also mentioned twice in your OP about other DAWs functions being useless that don't work well in your mind, but failed to mention Arranger, which is very much like Blocks but far better in every respect and does precisely what you're after if you wanted to.

So please explain in which way the Arranger Track allows to alter the arrange sections in the non-destructive way you can overwrite Reason's Blocks. I have Pro 10.5 so I can try your advice right away.

Takes.

ok?

Takes.

I'm sorry, but you really seem to not have a slightest idea about Blocks

But to be fair, most Reason users also don't and majority of those that do use it, use it to just color segments of their normal arrangement, which is like 10% of their intended functionality

You do realize Takes is about Cubase Arranger? It applies in most DAWS of course, but context is key here.

OP talks about similar functionality in other DAWS paling in comparison and mentions Cubase playlist but no mention of Arranger which has far more similar functionality with regards to Blocks. Perhaps you have no idea how Arranger works...

To be fair, most people don't know much about anything -- I was simply responding to "Blocks are super powerful and in my opinion by far the best interaction/combination of linear and non-linear sequencing that I have ever encoutered."

To which my answer was my response.

Ok, can you please enlighten me/us? Because I can't see here anything that can't be done with Blocks. To be perfectly frank Cubase's Arranger looks like a bunch of scripts doing stuff you'd normally do laboriously copying, pasting and moving stuff around:



Also I've no idea how Takes relate to any of that? Can you for example tell Cubase to play take #1 in 1st repetition of segment B and take #2 in 2nd repetition?

But your response shows that you either

a) are unable to comprehend what this thread is about even on the most basic Level

or

b) are unwilling to put nearly enough effort it would require for you to understand what this thread
is about even on the most basic level into doing so

or

c) post bewildering nonsense on purpose in order to troll this thread

Which one it may be (I don't really care) there is absolutely no point in attempting to have anything
resembling an even just mildly intelligent conversation with you. Good bye.

You may of coure stay, but don't expect any further reply from me. Becoming worthy of that is obviously
completely and utterly beyond your means.

Jens Says: Blocks are super powerful and in my opinion by far the best interaction/combination of linear and non-linear sequencing that I have ever encoutered. Basically, they nailed it.

I say: Arranger track in Cubase knocks Reasons blocks completely out of the water on every possible level if that type of song construction is what you're looking for. Blocks is a pita imo.

If you can't make sense of that simple statement/response interaction and instead choose to respond with some personal insult laden tirade, then yes I look forward to no more replies from you.

And you had to go negative fanboy because? You can’t stand people having a reasonable discussion?

Serious question, what the hell is wrong with you?

I stated a genuine alternative to Blocks which he obviously had no idea about. It completely blows blocks away in every way, has nothing to do with positive or negative if anything a reasonable person would have been curious.

I've used Reason for 15 years and spent plenty of time with blocks and its so clunky and annoying in every possible way, completely devoid of many useful functions, bare-bones at best, and yes it has a few time savers if you can get through it - yet took about 10 minutes to totally 'get' Arranger track in Cubase and a day to fly with it.

My tagline specifically praises Cubase and Reason, so what is your problem exactly?

[jonljacobi]

What the hell is wrong with me? You, your tone, and that fact you interjected negatively in a positive conversation, side-tracking it for no good reason. Until you showed up it was a decent read.

Reread my last post and put your comprehension goggles on, I've nothing more to add.
