OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE

Optimizing Your

Computer System

In this manual we do not have the possibility to give you detailed procedures

for optimizing your computer for maximum power. This is a subject that we

could write complete books on! However, we’d like to share a couple of im-

portant tips:

➜ Quit other programs that are running at the same time as Reason.

➜ Remove background tasks on your computer.

This might be any background utilities you have installed as well as net-

working, background internet activities etc.

➜ Under Windows, make sure you use the latest and most efficient

driver for your audio card.

Generally, ASIO drivers are the most efficient, followed by DirectX and

last MME.

➜ Only work on one Reason document at a time.

Songs that are open in the background do consume some processing

power even though they’re not playing.

➜ Lower the sample rate setting on the Preferences dialog.

While this also reduces sound quality, it is a very quick and convenient

way to try to play a song that your computer otherwise can’t handle.

➜ Make sure your computer display is set to 16-bit colors.

Under Windows, this mode is called “High Color”; under MacOS it is

called “Thousands of colors”.

Optimizing Songs

Below follows things you can check and change to make sure your song

uses as little computer processing power as possible:

Global

➜ Delete unused devices.

If a device isn’t actually doing anything, delete it from the rack.

➜ Use fewer devices.

For example, instead of using several reverbs as insert effects, replace

them all with one, set up as a send effect. By the same token, try to use

one sampler playing several different samples instead of numerous sam-

plers playing one sample each.

➜ Don’t use stereo unless it is required.

For example, if your NN19 sampler or Dr. Rex player is playing mono ma-

terial, only connect the Left output and leave the Right output uncon-

nected.

Sample Players – NN19, Dr. Rex and Redrum

➜ Only activate High Quality Interpolation when it is required.

Listen to the sound in a context and determine whether you think this set-

ting makes any difference. However, note that on a Macintosh G4, High

Quality Interpolation does not require any more processing power.

➜ If you are playing back a sample at a much higher pitch than it was

recorded at, consider sample rate converting the actual sample file

to a lower sample rate.

This will require an external sample editor with good sample rate conver-

sion facilities.

➜ Try to refrain from using stereo samples.

Filters – Subtractor, NN19 and Dr. Rex

➜ Deactivate filters that are not used.

Observe that if the Cutoff is all the way up or the envelope is set to open

the filter fully, then the filter doesn’t affect the sound. Conserve process-

ing power by disabling the filter altogether.

➜ Use the12dB lowpass filter instead of the 24dB lowpass filter.

See if you can get the same sonic result by using the 12dB filter, since it

uses up less processing power.
