  • Have we been using Reason wrong this entire time? A glance at Reason 12 operation manual will show us just how wrong we have been all along.
    I am curious to see if anyone has ever caught this before, and if you have and are a power Reason User, please let us know you awesome guy or girl!
    Apparently, the control room out is actually really important when it comes to monitoring music in Reason. Super important in fact.
    In the end though, this probably won't apply to many Reason users and more thank likely the added benefit of the Control room out will only help users with expensive audio interfaces with multiple inputs and outputs.
    I think we will be okay to keep using Reason the way we have been using it. I don't know, what do you think?

      Not just you. I’ve been using Reason for more than 20 years. There are many reasons to switch to CTRL out. Two key ones are automation on the Master fader, and, especially, monitoring the send returns. I can also turn down if I’m using monitors late at night without touching the automated fader

      Hi
      I do understand This
      My First question IS to where you will connect the master Out ?
      Because the master Out needs to have a Task
      AS an Output the master Out can BE used to send thru the master section and Other devices to improve the Sound After the Main Mix
      The question IS If you can hear IT in the Control room Out because ITS Happening at the Same Output so you need to Bring the master Out on a new Mixer Channel or sth
      Hopefully you can answers the complete question
      So the master Out shouldnt be touched because This will BE the Output your final result will BE recorded from on for example Tape Plugins Other
      So in the end you realy need a Splitter to Bring the master Out mirror Control room to Headphones and to the Main Out for the Monitors of your audio Interface
      Only This way you can adjust your Headphones Sound to your Monitors and EQ the Headphones in your audio Interface software Chanel plus your Studio Monitors wont BE Affected cause Signal is Split
      If This IS right , the master Out fader of any Professional Platinum recording Studio ist almost never been touched
      Only If increasing loudness on the Control room volume wont BE enough plus the loudness of what you can increase on the master Out
      ( Here AS written befor you can Set limiters And preamps to increase high amounts of loudness ) in This Moment i See No Other Logic about IT than Just to manipulate a finished Mix on the master Output without changing anything in the reason Mixer
      I found Out about This ☝️i mentioned befor
      The master Out is only for live Performance or recording your Mix so Routing This master to an Independent circle
      Means you Play the master Live Like Theres a Show and you are listen Back in Headphones or Like in a Reporters room in Monitors over the Control room , and the master is going to the Main Pa
      The Second Routing is that you have external mastering or effect Section or you want to use Plugins in reason that you want to Playback your Mix thru
      But IT wont BE Playback over your Monitor system unless you Switch the Routing in reason
      ITS easy to Put your Control room cable Connection to another Output for short time and the master connected to a Plugin Setup you created you Put into the Main Out of the audio Interface
      To me This master Out is only making Sense in live Performance where you need to listen Back and Control the Mix and you will have a Pa thats different and needs acdifferent amp and system
      To use mastering plugings and these Things you can Just connect IT to the Control room or using sends and Returns
      So in This Case the master Out and Control room Just is Not making Sense
      If Theres a Switch you can use to Playback the master of Control room then your able to easily compare your Mix with your master both routed in the Studio Monitors Output of the audio Interface
      This will make Sense to listen to a clean Signal and mastered Signal with pressing one knob

    It’s not wrong it’s just an additional option. If you want to turn your mix up or down use your speakers volume control if it has one or a volume knob on your interfaces monitoring output. Do not use the master fader to pull it down unless you’re automating fade in or out. They provide the control room out which has an attenuator that does not affect the master fader (which you mention in the video).

      @@MrMarcLaflamme I think the idea is using it rather than the master out to increase your volume during the mix session without increasing the actual projects volume, thereby giving you the “ what if we played this as loud as possible” without screwing up your mix.
      It doesn’t make your mix or Eq better, it just helps you to monitor your music better. As Colt capperune says, “as soon as you start a mix session you begin to lose perspective on your mix” Hopefully this monitoring system saves time and thereby saving perspective.

  • @joesalyers

    This is exactly how a real console works. You have a control room output which feeds the monitors and its output doesn't effect your masterbus processing. This is also a good way to listen to any send and return in isolation so you could maybe dial in a effect or if there is an issue with a send being too hot and many other benefits. But using the control room out the same exact workflow you would find on any studio analog console. So this is a good habit to learn if you ever want to work in a commercial studio since if you route your audio to the master bus on a patchbay no sound will come from the monitors since your masterbus is routed separately.

    There’s no right or wrong but this is based on the big desks we used to use in the 80s and 90s at EMI studios, the Neves, SSLs (on which the Reason mixer is loosely based), Sony Oxfords etc. It’s a very handy feature if you have a separate studio and control room and particularly if you’re likely to have multiple musicians listening to different mixes but wanted to have a baseline, being what is listened to in the control room. It was unheard of to mix as you were recording, specifically because automation of the mix was a clunky and complex thing, even on these state of the art consoles. The Neve automation used a 3.5inch floppy to store its data on, and the SSL used 8 inch floppies! With everything being hardware and automaton being synchronised to tape using SMPTE timecode, a mix was not something you could switch in and out of. So after the recording part, we’d make what was called a monitor mix, using what was coming out of these control room outputs as something to listen to on your car cassette player. The main mix out was often only used in the mixing sessions. We have so much flexibility these days and the level of technology is so much more democratic but sometimes it’s good to create workflow limitations to mimic the old days just to get the same vibe. Sometimes having no limits can be overwhelming to the creative process.

    To sumarised ,master bus is what you actualy print on export, ctrl room is for the monitor speaker and your hearing confort. Usualy a mastering engineering people, always ask for minus 12 dbfs,on the master bus without the bus compressor rack to have headroom to use hardware or software one on there final step , by the way, youtube always apply a limiting of -1.00 dbfs for any video, but yeah the control room help improving the mix before limiting or maximize any sound output.

Route this filter to the master bus side chain input and ensure the Key button is enabled. That should do the trick. This technique is normally used to remove low frequencies.

    I want to mention one more important use case for the control room out: If you already have some instrumental tracks in Reason and want to record live vocals to them. Often the singer wants to hear her voice louder and the instrumental tracks quieter in her headphones. If you use an audio interface like the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 she can direct monitor her voice. If she now says: Please make the playback quieter, you simply can turn down the control room out volume without affecting the master bus.

    • @chrisellis1863
      @chrisellis1863 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not exactly. You want to use the input knobs for gain staging, but still use the volume faders for mixing. The reason is because the input knobs control the signal strength of the incoming signal, and then any processing you want is applied to it. Then, the volume faders control the volume AFTER the processing takes place. If you have a part that you don't want to be very loud, but you still want to have effects on it, it is better to apply the effects to the strong signal and then turn it down. Many effects are optimized for strong input signals.

    @PoohBearsReasonChannel ปีที่แล้ว +3

    There is one big reason to why the Master Outs are wired to the audio outs as default, Channels 1 and 2 on the Audio Output is what is rendered on export, so if you wire up your Control Room out that is what will be rendered and not from the Master out.
    Control Room Level, this will attenuate or boost the signal, this means you can push the signal above 0db and even in the video you could hear it totally distort.
    Make good use of your Volume level on your external hardware amp\device.
    The Control Room out is handy for monitoring the Sends and Returns as you can do that separately and for my personal setup I use the Control Room out for my monitoring chain.

    In Windows 10 there is a Screan recoreder and records the Screan and Audio from the selected program window, it does not capture the entire screen and also does not capture VSTs. This has its advantages and disadvantages but the audio capture is the audio you hear while recording.

    I switch to CTRL out every time I start a project. I send the master outs to an EQ, and route it back to the Master side chain and roll off the bass to the compressor.

      Sure, I agree with you. Reason is the kind of program that "how it's done" is the most intriguing and special part :-) There are so many patching and cabling options and it's just that extra layer of functionality that makes it extraordinary.

  • @AndrewValdovinos
    @AndrewValdovinos ปีที่แล้ว

    Very interesting! I've never realized this. Like you said, I've always gone from master out into some sort of compressor or limiter before hitting the output 1 and 2. This sounds like a way to get some more clean digital head room. My thought process is what is the difference between this and just turning up the volume to your monitors on your interface? Maybe it is a lot cleaner sounding since you dont have to turn up the volume on monitors and bring in any unwanted noise?
    This has definitely got me thinking. I mainly use Protools now, but reason is still useful and very fun to use. Thanks for the video!

    For anyone who's ever worked in a real studio this is very obvious as its how a real mixer works. You should read the manual on the whole mixer, its very complex but much more like a real console than any of the other DAWs virtual mixing screens. I suggest you sidechain the bus compressor with a filter so it works better on bass heavy signals, another real-world trick you can do with Reason.

    There is nothing wrong with using the master output; adjusting the master fader because the monitoring levels are too high or too low is a beginners mistake, you should be adjusting the levels at the monitoring system anyways… it should be common sense. The use case for the control room output is if adjusting the physical monitoring system is impractical/inaccessible/etc

    chris i have a question not regarding the control volume but about midi clips in a project. Is it necessary to convert midi to audio once a project is done before and or after finalizing the mix?
    reason why i ask is cause I often see in a reason project i would be working on and even though not done completing the song and not finalized. I get a message on the screen about midi over flow, does that mean i'd have to take all my midi files in that project and convert it into audio?

      I only saw this error when doing a lot of automation? I think it can be different for everyone’s computer. If something is preventing you from getting the result you want then absolutely do this work arounds.
      I would replicate the project file and see if I get the error every time or maybe it was just a bug. Also your midi controller can play a part in it. Lots of different things.

  • @atmadsen
    @atmadsen ปีที่แล้ว

    I instead use my “usb output level” which I luckily have on my board. I also have multiple auxes which I will occasionally use. I strive to leave the master fader alone. I don’t reroute the signal path to preserve the render. It’s always best, in my opinion, to “set and forget” the master fader after you’ve properly gain staged your mix. That said, if you do opt for the ctrl room outs, it’s equally important to have good VU metering. Sadly, Reason doesn’t do this well as the SSL VU on the board is not current with modern music platform requirements. I hope they rectify it with maybe some selectable views (between rms and lufs for example) on their mix bus meter.

    That’s a cool option, but would it not be the same if we created a couple buses and routed them to our master? Not trying to be smart, truly curious. Or would we lose certain options by not using the control room?
