Reason sound doesn't sell is not true

[Aroused by JarJar]

Those examples sound "canned", flimsy and veiled. Not that it matters to the people who like the music.

Well, there's no post production or mastering on these tracks. They're straight out of the old version of Reason, but to be honest, I find most 100% synthesized music straight out of software to sound pretty canned. The lack of anything truly organic usually produces a flimsiness that's really difficult to get rid of. I find this especially holds true with Ableton Live and since I don't buy into the idea that audio summing engines affect the sound, I'm sure that comes down to the sound of its sample warping and plugin effects. They're so distinctive sounding that Ableton tracks quite often stick out like a sore thumb to me. This doesn't hinder my appreciation of the music though.

Very impressive for straight out of the can- most Reason productions I've heard in home studios sound worse than GM keyboards (to me).

I wish I had the magical ears you guys have. I mean you guys can tell what songs were made in Reason, pick out the sound of Thor or subtractor in a song, wow amazing. This is skill I dream of having. So all this time you guys knew Com Truise, A Guy Called Gerald and countless others were using Reason based on their sound. Again ears and skill I can only dream of having. LOL, Kvr I tell you.

Different people have different tastes.

maybe at some point it is really rather a psychological thing to some degree.

EVERYTHING related to our brain is psychological at some point.

Totally agree on this ^^

I just go to listen to Com Truise on his soundcloud and songs are lacking low end and the highs sounds plastic to me. But this is a good example then of what can be achieved on reason with good skills and dedication.

Now if you compare his sound to other dubstep productions, his one is softer and transients are also softer than they should (IMHO !!).

Are you implying that Com Truise makes dubstep?

Um Com Truise is not making Dubstep. As far as "lacking low end" etc maybe its just his production style. So you would have been able to tell that he was using Reason correct because he lacks low end etc? Check out A Guy Called Gerald too. Tell me how you were able to spot the Reason sound in his productions, be very specific I need tips on how to develop spotting the Reason sound. Gerald is a diehard Reason user both live and in the studio.

A lot of talking shit here, if you ask me.

People can pick out Reason or Ableton Live tracks in a test as much as they can hear the difference between 44.1 or 48khz or audio through a normal or a gold plated cable.

You think that's hubris? People claim not to aroused by an amphibious alien who can give you a rimjob from across the room- now that's talking shit!

Sorry I don't know the name of his music style, for me it sounded like ambient dubstep.

About Gerald, It's hard to tell but I would say the kicks, I sent a few youtube links to a friend who is also used to the reason sound since more than 10 years and he did told me about the kick first. Now it is not easy to spot I agree. In some case that kind of sound would be desirable. But I still wait to hear something which have the sonic definition and impact of lets say Koan Sound made with Reason and then I guess I would have to admit I was just fooling myself ^^

I don't try to convince anybody, if you like Reason use it, but I have my opinion on it and I checked the waveforms differences at home, and after wondering for so many years that settled it for me.

Recent studies show that 53% of conversations about music software can be replaced, without information loss, with a giggling exclamation of "mantwat!".

53%, man. That's more than half.

That's 20-40% more than any other giggling exclamation.
Even more if in German.

German has "c**t" (Fotze, die) but it doesn't have "twat" as far as I know. Ah, the moist richness of the English language.
