The Echo: Living, Breathing, Musical New Delay Effect in Reason 6

Nov 18, 2011 Propellerhead Reason & Record

One thing that I have wanted for a long time in Reason is a new delay effect that I could play like a musical instrument. One that could get all the grungy vintage analog and tape delay effects, with infinite feedback (filtered of course) that would react to changes in delay time just like an old analog effect. In Reason 6, Propellerhead has given me that and more in the form of The Echo!

Puliveriser Demolition – The new way to shred your sound in Reason 6

Nov 4, 2011 Propellerhead Reason & Record

The first time I used Pulveriser, I did not read the instruction manual. I simply put it on a drum loop, twisted a couple of knobs, and immediately my drums went from “ok drums” to “totally bad ass twisted evil awesome drums.” At that moment I knew: We are going to hear people using Pulveriser on a lot of music from here on out! Never before have I used a sound processor that made it so easy to drastically improve the sound of my drums, vocals, and bass sounds.

Deep Dive into the Effects of the POD HD Multi-Effects Processors: Dynamic Delay

Aug 23, 2011 Line 6 General, Line 6 Tips & Tricks

The Dynamic Delay effect in the POD HD multi-effects processors is, in my opinion, the cleanest sounding digital delay model in the entire device. It should be. It’s inspired by* the famous T.C. Electronic® 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay, a true industry standard in the music world throughout the late 80s into the 90s and even [...]

Aug 12, 2011 Line 6 General

By Mike Levine Guitarists are on a constant quest for great amp tone. One way to try to get it is to crank your tube amp to 10, but, realistically, there just aren’t that many situations where that’s practical. If you’re at home, or even in a rehearsal, turning up to full is likely to [...]
