Haven’t used Schism that much, I use Fasttracker 2 mostly nowadays. Been through a pile of trackers. Works on modern operating systems, even though it’s originally from 1992.
I talk to the guy who made that clone almost every day in an IRC channel on EsperNet, he’s a Norwegian. He updates it all the time.
Nice dude. I’m gonna download them today and give them a shot I think. It sounds interesting
Downloaded schism and had a quick look at it as well as watched a tutorial, it looks pretty sweet. I love programs like this so I’m probably going to try and learn how to use it.
Cool man.
This is more connected with the last forum beats challenge, but thought I’d share it here. Just some (relatively) simple poly things on guitar. Lots of that stuff going on in progressive metal of course.

I’m wondering if anybody here can offer advice / ideas / solution for something…
To put it simply i’d like to route individual channel strips out of Reason, into a mixing desk, then back into the computer…
in my head I’d need a soundcard with say 12 outputs, a mixing desk and then a seperate soundcard to record back into…
somebody has suggested a Mackie onyx with FireWire which I’ve had a look into but it’s all quite confusing tbh…
Does anybody on here do something similar / have any technical suggestions to make it possible…
cheers
I do this but not with reason, you just need a soundcard with multiple outs and ins depending on how many elements
Sound,
How do you get back into the box out of the mixer ?
Outputs/Aux sends, etc
Are you just wanting to get the colour of the mixer?
More so mean do you go back into a seperate soundcard to the one sending your audio to the desk ?
No I want the functionality of the mixer and the use of external efx plus the colour of the mixer as well
Got the PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSL rack soundcard with 8 ins and 8 outs and I use Reason 10 (can’t bother with the shit upgrades yet, they’re on 12 now). I haven’t tried it, but you could prolly route all the separate outs (mono ofc) into whatever, then back into the inputs. Gotta be careful with live monitoring though, since you can literally blow your rig with feedback if you’re not careful with that.
But it should not be very difficult. Might experiment to confirm.
When I was running a lot of hardware, I was running it all through a Mackie 1604VLZ. It had 4 busses with two of those busses permanently going to my audio interface.
You are always going limited by the number of inputs/outputs on your audio interface. I was using a Lexicon hardware reverb unit that I was sending output to from the computer and then back in.
Ableton has a handy tool called external effects rack to help facilitate that. Once again I had to have permanent audio inputs and outputs for that. I was using an eight channel Presonus Firepod at the time.
Usually my goal was to get audio into the computer. Not so much the other way around so this is not very similar to what you are trying to do. But maybe there are some nuggets of wisdom in here.
You might consider setting up a patchbay if you need to change your routing often.
Cheers MKS the more I talk to people about it the less likely it is it’s gonna happen,
Few people have suggested Mackie onyx,
It’s basically cos I’m not enough of a musician to do the most common hardware-mixer-computer set up, I need the box to kinda be my stabilisers!
mackie onyx isnt bad, i have one without the firewire, but the firewire is a headache to deal with and will only get worse as it loses support
soundcards with lots of i/o have gotten a lot cheaper, probably better to just get a decent one of those and whatever mixer you like
Cheers Phigs, I’ve heard bad things about Firewire today, getting a SC with a decent amount of outputs is my first step I guess.
No we done it all out of and back into the same audio interface on 1 computer. Out of computer via a send in DAW, to channel input on mixer, thru whatever, and back out of mixer (via a bus in our case) into inputs on soundcard and back into DAW. Obviously you have to be careful with monitoring, etc with the feedback
Yeah.
