Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 31318, member: 636"] Reason Studios just made ReCycle 2.5 completely free! This famous beat slicer that creates REX files has returned with support for all current computers. Beat makers have loved the REX format since Propellerhead Software (later renamed Reason Studios) created it back in 1994. The program helps you slice up beats and save them as REX files that keep their musical feel at any speed. Many music apps can use these files, but music hardware hasn't caught up yet. The magic of ReCycle comes from how it finds the start of each sound in your loop and cuts it there. This keeps all timing data intact, letting you play loops at different speeds without weird stretching sounds. You can move parts around, change when beats happen, or use the pattern as a rhythm guide for other sounds. ReCycle gives you helpful tools like EQ, transient shaper, and envelope controls to shape each slice. The stretch feature lets you extend the tail end of sounds for cool effects. The big news isn't new features but simply that ReCycle works on today's computers - both Mac and PC - and costs nothing! This makes the REX format even more open for everyone who designs sounds or makes music. You can bring your REX files into almost any major music program, including Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Cakewalk, Kontakt 8, and Maschine. Thanks to this update, people using KORG Gadget STOCKHOLM on phones, Macs, or Windows can easily make their REX files. Reason Studios has started a competition called "ReCycle The Beat" to celebrate. Anyone can join by transforming a sample they provide using whatever methods they want, but using ReCycle might help your chances. The person who wins gets a Reason+ subscription service for an entire year. This surprise revival brings an important music tool back into the spotlight for many producers who might have never tried it. This welcome change from Reason Studios might lead to more classic music software coming back. Maybe we'll see Rebirth return someday as well! You can download ReCycle 2.5 right away without paying anything. It runs perfectly on both new Apple computers with Silicon chips or older Intel ones, plus Windows computers with either Intel or ARM processors. The program looks simple but offers powerful ways to work with beats that most modern tools still can't match. [/QUOTE]
