Reason, and I can venture a rather educated guess, that Record too are "maximized" for low cpu usage so users can get more out of it - that's the market, not dead-on emulation of vintage gear a la UAD, or even Waves, etc. |
I hear you, but as I always say, audio is an industry of opinions. I have always loved the RV7000 and I am used to re-patching the outputs into other things to shape the final signal I get from the piece. I rarely run into other users that hit the tab button and stack custom chains.
The great thing about the Reason/Record engine is it allows you to work exactly how you would in a real studio. For instance, the biggest mistake I see most people do is to insert a reverb directly on a track (PT users do this all the time). This is not how you would insert a reverb on a track on an SSL. The reverb is fed through an aux that then benefits from the board's circuitry coloration and signal boost. I can take DVerb and feed it through an aux with a Waves SSL in PT and get amazing results. Its not anything special, I am just recreating how the real world equipment works. With that said, I find the RV7000 through Record's 9K model to be amazingly well done and if I want to be brave and insert some warmth in the middle of the reverb, the Scream 4 does a tremendous job.
