Not yet but it’s on their way!

I bought a Tascam Ministudio and a Mackie Control Knob.

I’m tired of using my iPad and GarageBand when I have the newest version of Reason and cool plugs on my computer.

I’m excited. The ministudio looks like a toy, but it should suffice for my needs. I only use one mic at a time anyway, and if I need two, I can just record one on the iPad and one on the computer and sync them up later.

VERY EXCITING!!!!

On a selfish note i have always kind of wanted to learn Reason! I had a very very early copy of Reason that absolutely hated Windows ME and i just gave up on it. Truthfully just about all DAWs except for Cool Edit pro 2.0 played well with Windows ME so no surprise there. :dislike:

One user who rarely if ever comes on here anymore [mention]HatfieldCreek[/mention] is pretty good with Reason. I think he spends a bit of time using it. If i can twist his arm to come back to us he may be a good shoulder to learn on should you need one.

Congrats on all your shiny new stuff dude!

Thanks!

I just love the workflow in Reason because I can use my iPad as a control surface and the whole thing is set up like an SSL console. It’s like having a virtual SSL console at my fingertips!! Doesn’t sound as good as the SSL plugs Waves makes, but I ain’t complaining.

cool beans!

Isn't new gear great?

New knobs to twist .... switches to flip ...... love it.
The one I looked at had two inputs ..... I'm guessing yours is an different model?

Nevermind ..... found it, yours is the US-32 ..... that actually looks pretty awesome .... a tiny bit of gear that does the job without taking up a lot of space.

Yup! I won’t use those four buttons on the bottom but I may utilize that on air button for some projects! We’ll see!

These trinkets will look pretty neat side by side.

Nice [mention]CrowsofFritz[/mention]

Love getting new stuff.

Is the Mackie knob you are getting the passive controller?

How will you use that?

Just curious.

Yep! It’s mostly to A/B between different sources so I don’t have to plug things in and out.

Just purchased a sound bar with my Mackie Big Knob so I can have something to A/B—something that people will be more likely to listen to casually. I LOVE this Big Knob. It’s so freaking cool.

More new gear! :D

This is a reverb plug-in controller. The plugin is $70 and this controller is $100 and has the plugin free so the controller is really only $30 in my mind.

Reverb is my most important effect and the one I spend a lot of time fiddling around with.

Cool snag! I think that is about the only waycid pay for a plugin like reverb is if i got simething a bit more with it like a piece of outboard gear.

Can that thing be used with anything else ir are you limited to just the reverb plugin?

Unfortunately, you’re just limited to the reverb plugin. But I really like it so far. No complaints. The reverb plugin is very subtle. The difference between 40% wet and 100% isn’t that great. I like that. I don’t want a plugin where turning something all the way up gives you a weird and bad sound.
