    How many people here actually buy Reason Refills, why and why not?

    I am looking in to opening a Refill store that will basically try and carry EVERY commercial refill. Do you Reason/Record users actually spend money on refills? Why and why not. Thanks all!

    5 Reasons to Be Scared of Apple

    Zune is amazing, but you HAVE to use the Zune software. No different that ipod/itunes so I don't get that one. Apple is brilliant at design and making products that work amazingly great together. Better than anyone else. But they can get a little nuts at times. Of course then you need to look...

    Compression/Limiting

    I agree that done wrong it ruins things, but even Bjork used TONS of compression. After you have a few clients say "why doesn't my song sound like songs on the radio" you learn how to crank that up. hell I track most vocalist with compression and then add more later. You know who else does that...

    Compression/Limiting

    For sure, proper gain staging is the key. Get that right first. But most of the mix's i do for other bands (usually really heavy rock and punk) and mix's I do for emcees or other producer I compress the shit out of almost everything. Read up on how Joe Meek worked. He was the first to really try...

    Glenn schick mastering...

    Can they explain in more depth how Sum and difference works. For example this product http://www.dangerousmusic.com/master.html How does it actually control L/R and center Independently. How can DAW users with no budget get a similar effect? I am really trying to wrap my head this as of right now.

    Garageband Jampacks?

    "but I am wary of apple" Don't know why that would be? Seriously. I would just buy Logic Studio for $500 it is not much more money and it comes will ALL the jam packs. Hope that helps.

    Compression/Limiting

    Listen to Eminem'S "lose yourself" Even the guitars in the intro are so compressed you can hear it pumping. To me it sounds great. Over compression is the sound of hip-hop.

    Compression/Limiting

    I usually start with a preset but then I tweak it from there. Hip-hop is a very overly compressed genre and usually a compressor is almost used as an effect. Most of the time you want to actually here it pumping. Here is a great article on using compressors...

    The big problem with the american car companies are that there business model is flawed. They will always run out of money. Look at the internal margin of Toyota vs Ford, or look at Microsoft Vs Apple. How much they make per sale is really interesting.

    "we wasted all this money to bail out companies, for nothing....It did nothing for our economy....." I am against the bail outs, but you do know they are loans that the company's pay back right? So that money will come back, it is not a waste. And it did help our economy allot. "We have...

    For sure, getting humans involved always screw things up lol "Do you do what you know to be wrong to win, and in business unless you say yes, you will lose. " I disagree on this point, Look at Warren Buffet he is all ethics and has won. I think you will find that businesses that are ethical...
