I am currently working on an album that primarily used Reason for the electronic drums and most of the synth sounds.
If anyone here has some experience working with Reason, my question is this:
Will there be a noticable difference in quality between bouncing each track to disk inside Reason, then importing the individual WAV files into Cubase VS. Installing Reason on my main computer and using ReWire to go from Reason into Cubase?
Logically, there shouldn't be a big difference in quality, but the reason (no pun intended) I ask, is that I have heard the Reason mix engine pretty much sucks.
In the past I've noticed that Reason sounded alot better when I ReWired it through Digital Performer, which would reinforce this opinion. However, I think that might be mostly due to the fact that I was using quality plug-ins on each individual track, rather than importing a stereo mix of all the Reason tracks.
Basically I know that Reason sounds kind of shitty when you bounce all of the tracks to one stereo file and import it. I'm wondering if it will retain that sound quality if I bounce each track individually.
If it means buying a new copy of Reason and installing it on my main PC, I wouldn't really mind doing it, but if I could get the same quality from bouncing everything to separate tracks inside Reason, I don't want to bother.
