Comments Off on Audio input for Reason – Introducing Hammer
|
For those of you who have not come across Hammer before
Hammer is an audio input tool for Propellerhead’s Reason. It finally lets you route ASIO audio inputs into Reason rack for live processing: just adding a reverb, doing cool voice vocoding or guitar distorsion.

| What is Hammer? |
|
Technically speaking, Hammer is a standard ReWire application.
It hooks to Reason via the ReBirth Input Machine device so that creating such a device results in creating an instance of Hammer Device. Then, connecting the Hammer Input Panel opens the selected ASIO input and routes its signal into Reason’s rack. |

As the Audio Input feature in Reason has been widely debated all over the web, we expect a lot of enthusiasm about our new tool. We’re so happy about it but, anyway, we want to stop your Hammer dreams and clearly state what Hammer is not that you could believe it will…

Good audio cards are needed!
Having like 200ms latency, Hammer is pratically unuseful! To reach a reasonable low latency value you should use high-end audio cards. |
Audio input, not recording!
This first release of Hammer only supports live audio signal processing, this won’t add hard-disk recording features in Reason. |
