Reason

I currently use Propellerhead Reason..and, as many users seem to notice (via a simple search on Google)..I feel like my sounds just aren't as full or whole as through Ableton (haven't really given any other DAW a shot). Any other Reason users notice anything similar?

Dont forget to Master your Track at -6db to give your track more Dynamic Headroom , this also improves the audio quality. Then bounce the Track and Master the Final separately. (After that you can use an Maximizer / Wideband Limiter like Waves L3/L2/L3 MultiMaximizer these things do their job quite well.)

Just like using Photoshop - first Make all the Layer Work then flatten the Image and Edit afterwards.

Every DAW has the Same "problem" , but it all comes down to Mastering and EQ'ing - if your Track sounds Flat -> Do Some Research and youll most likely find out that theres much more behind producing a fine sounding Track than you think ;) Even the tinyest Detail counts on the Way to good Sound :)

I use reason. I LOVE IT! I've had no problem getting big mixes. but then again if I spend 20 hours creating a song, I can guarantee that probably between a third and half of that time has been spent in mastering each individual sound to make sure there are no competing parts, (you dont wan to run a bass heavy synth and a sub at the same time as the frequencies will compete and creating phasing issues) and then another huge portion of time going through a mix down and then final mastering of my master track.

Just like the other threads.

Im going to merge some preexisting threads about Reason into this. Pm me if you find anything else.
