Having come to SD3 from BFD, I have found the effects in SD far superior (perhaps, pun intended), as well as the overall recording of the Core Library (sounds like music, rather than bombastic noise). I find that I only need to use my UAD plug-ins at the end of the drum mix (one drum mix didn’t even need it… it sounded great with SD’s plug-ins). I’ve gotten some really good results from SD.
Sorry for the delay. I was actually playing all week with Reason and SD3. 🙂
Setting the cores to 1 definitely did the trick. It didn’t choke even on my most demanding kit preset. I’m wagering a guess that Reason throttles the amount of resources a VST is allowed to have. However, since it hasn’t presented any real issues between Logic and Reason, I’ll leave it at one for now.
Sorry for reviving this. However, I’m wondering what the optimal setting would be in Reason 10 since I have discovered that on my Mac OS X (Sierra) unit, it coughs and sputters with V3.1.1 and more often than not gives a ” Computer Too Slow” message. The system I am using it on is powerful enough (with the audio and sample libraries on separate drives in an external RAID unit) and I never have any Audio Unit issues with Logic.
I do find that if I run the SD3 in Reason without opening up the plug-in window, it will play smoother.
