Reviews For Audio Production Software

When James goes out to give Reason presentations and demos, he gets one question more often than anything else: “How do I hook up this very cool Vocoder that makes no sound when I try to use it?” Vocoders are neat but they don’t work the way we’re used to synths working at first glance. There are no oscillators or LFOs… there are instead Carriers and Modulators… bands… and other weirdness. But this week James breaks it all down simply and he’ll have you getting in touch with your inner-robot in no time!

Think Thor is ONLY a versatile and amazing sounding synth? Think again because Thor is also one of the coolest audio processors you’ve got… you just didn’t know it.
The best part? James not only shows us how to process audio through Thor, but he’s created some Thor combinator patches to get you started!

Loop playback also automatically updates to the selection without having to manually stop and start the transport. With the new Loop Trim tool, you can turn any audio or MIDI region into a loop instantly.

Add or remove tracks; add, remove, or copy inserts and sends; change a track’s I/O routing; re-order tracks; and make other changes without having to manually stop playback.
