Propellerhead Balance Unboxing / Review

"www.macmixing.com - Mixing it up with Apple.
Today I am going to show you Propellerhead's NEW awesome recording interface, Balance. This is an interface meant to work with Reason Essentials and Reason 6. Balance works great for all recording situations and is a great compact recording interface. The design of Balance is completely sleek and has a high quality build. Balance connects to your computer via USB and has many inputs including XLR's with phantom power. Balance also includes two output monitor jacks as well. Direct monitoring is a strong point for Balance and also has a clipping feature to prevent unwanted clips and pops. Reason Essentials comes with Balance to get you up and running in minutes. With Reason Essentials you get six main instruments to produce music with, as well as the sleek redesigned interface to record all of your audio together with your music productions.

A Day in the Studio with Balance

"When Uprock Audio in Sacramento, California got their hands on the new Balance with Reason Essentials package they set about on a new creative project. The plan was simple enough: They wanted to record a song with a local artist, produce it, then sample it, remix it, and turn it into a second entirely new hip hop song... all in one day!

We captured the process, spoke to Dean and John at Uprock Audio about the project, and put it all together into a music video. You can hear the song that resulted from their day's work and get a glimpse into the social aspect that Uprock Audio uses for inspiration, motivation, and just plain fun."

Balance's Clip Safe Recording

"In this micro tutorial we're taking a look at the new Clip Safe feature when recording with our Balance audio interface and either Reason Essentials or Reason software. Clip Safe lets you restore distorted takes, saving what could have been a perfect performance if not for the overload.

As musicians, once we start recording and putting our "all" into the performance we often find that our playing is louder than it was when we set our levels. Those of us who have lost too many good takes to distortion end up recording while watching the levels carefully. That sort of distraction hurts the performance. It's very difficult to be both performer and engineer at the same time.

Clip Safe lets us record, concentrate on our performance, and know that even if we do overload while recording we can simply repair our distorted audio and save the take." -Propellerhead
