apyssjw …apologies, realize I didn’t reply about the Reason/Bassline Generator thing.
It’s really clever, inspired me to pretty much finish one track right off the bat, but to be honest its not been as transformational as I’d expected for 2 reasons… the first being, I feel like it’s really excellent for certain types of track, ones where the baseline is really dominant, and I’ve found that when I write tracks from scratch, starting with the bassline can be a bit of a creative cue-de-sac.
Second and biggest issue is not being able to use Reason Rack Plug-in natively on my M1 MBP. I can switch to opening with Rosetta for the purposes of using the Bassline Generator, but then can’t put synths like Diva through it. I can use Reason to spit out the midi then restart Live natively, but you can’t audition then full range of sounds while you are messing with the patterns like you could if you have your fave synth open.
Apparently M1 compatibility is coming, but I get the impression that they aren’t in a rush if you aren’t paying the subscription 🫤
