I think I'm right in saying that Reason 2 has external midi support.. Can anyone confirm this?

At the moment i'm experimenting with using BOTH software and hardware at the same time because i think both have their benfits. For example, I run 8 outputs from reason into a mackie desk, with focusrite and behringer compressors on inserts. The Mackie is absolutley invaluable when it comes to EQing. the track 'Soma remix' involves no software production at all and this is probably why it sounds a lot 'warmer' - the same goes for "so many possibilities" - both these tracks were made with an yamaha a4000, emu XL-1 and an atari. You know - the world would be a far nicer place if reason had a midi output......i'm having problems at the moment getting my copy of nuendo to work with my delta 1010 midi - i've tried everything!!!! Peace Slide I've uploaded a couple more that should go live soon so i'll let you know. One's another software and the other a hardware. --- "Jurgen Baute" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >IMO = I Mast... euh, In My Opinion > > >It's always hard to determine what people are using to produce, cause there are so >many >ways to get certain sounds.
