The best thing Reason Studios could do (although whether they have the coding chops to do so given the debacle that is R12 remains to be seen) is to decouple the frontend and backend of Reason. Then they could get a brand new frontend built (maybe farmed out to a 3rd party to do) and then market th...

Reason will never compete with that without pretty much redesigning the whole program. I'd have to disagree with this sentiment and the general idea that RRP is the superior experience, at least not for everyone. For me, Reason's strength is not the rack itself but rather the tight integration betw...

SPOILER: Hi-Res graphics is just part of a bunch of problems, but all are probably related. SYMPTOMS: RSN12 freezes on me too much to be fair bc of High Res re-rendering* (*& other unknown problems) FORENSIC ANALYSIS: Same projects exported for RSN11 (no CMB 2.0) and they are like back to driving a...

Clearly there is something they did well for years. But not long ago. And I'm really sorry, if you check the list of improvements of the other DAWS (Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One...) every time they release a major update, you will see a list of 20, 30 or 40 improvements, not 3, 4...

Both of these plugins use a fair amount of HD space, especially Amplitube. I only need one. Do you prefer one over the other? Why? Both are nice programs but I think in general, I like the Amplitube sound better, but I like the Guitar Rig GUI better. Amplitube seems to update their software a bit m...

I bought some Impulse Responses to use with my Kuassa amp sim VSTs in Reason. The pack came with .wav file format: 500ms, 24bit, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz and 96kHz sample rates. Should I use the .wav files corresponding to the sample rate set in Reason i.e 48 000Hz or doesn't it matter? I remember reading ...

Software has progressed well. Hardware to support that software ... not so much. As good as NKS is, it's only good for instruments and DAW control is as basic as anything else. Nektar Panorama P is still the currently the best DAW controller made that isn't exclusive to Pro Tools, however where it ...

We're seeing a revival of hardware. We have advanced controllers that can operate most of a session without the use of the keyboard and mouse. We even have controllers that can control a full session standalone (but might still open a window as an optional method of control, but still offers a comp...

Hi all. I have plenty of examples of new gear that has only usb power, usb power but can run on batteries, or mixed usb power and common Dc transformer but lots of noise humz anyway. Korg NTS-1 runs only by usb connection. No batteries. Noise is terrible when used in a mix it's almost ubereable. I ...

Apologies for throwing out this controversial question. My motherboard on my custom Windows 10 desktop died for the 3rd time in 3 years and I am now fed up with this X299 series of boards. I am having it repaired again, but it will be dedicated to the sideline when it gets back to the studio. Every...

I use both programs. Ableton more for sequencing and DAW work and Reason for its instruments. I must be in the minority but I actually like Abletons piano Roll. I find it very fast to do most things and use it often for drum programming. I think the main thing its missing from Reason is the scissors...

Propellerheads User Forum. Ah forgot about it long time ago, remember it but wasn't very frequent poster there at all. It was very oldschool though It is funny to hear the word Old School for an Internet forum. It was very modern for its time. Pre Internet about all you could do was to meet people ...

The Edit Sample function is not available on the RRP which really diminishes the workflow, not all host DAW's have the same quick workarounds to just move loop sliders or reverse-loop buttons. Also consider the fact that some samples are only inside Refill's so now I have to export the samples to t...

At this point in time, they need to just incorporate it. It will give Reason some better chopping functionality with probably not alot of effort on the Props part having to think of a new way to do something. And Recycle hasn't been updated in years so it is probably best to just incorporate it in R...

I've never had much success at programming drums. I'm musically literate but have never been a drummer, so I don't have a lot of insight into how to make things sound really good. If I'm making a "straight" piece of music, here's my workflow: * Fire up Dr Octo Rex, pick a drum loop to get started w...

I'm not sure why some think this really stands out. I can still load old projects in Bandlab that were made in Sonar 2 and Gigastudio. Yes. Most DAWS have backwards compatibility. Its really the VSTS or poor Wave file management that gets people in a bind. Reason does make the Wave file management ...

I've been thinking about the massive price drop of reason 12, and just weeks after may madness. The speculation is that, perhaps they need money. Well, I recall when they discounted reason suite a while back, then shortly afterward, they announced that they were discontinuing suite. So I'm thinking...

So, I've been using the RRP in Reaper a ton since it came and it really is (for me) a dream come true. Now that it has MIDI out it's even more awesome. Only one feature request has really come to mind for me: the option to have a 2x width rack for the plugin. Sometimes having the one rack lane is p...

Hi All! Was just watching Sigrid performing her latest song on a Nord (but it wasn't) kind of piano on tv, just her and the electric piano. I noticed (which is common these days) how she never ever deviated from the same 4 chords throughout the entire song. Seems to be common practice now in a lot ...

All the machines with at least 8 cores should use less CPU than Reason uses imo. But what is the truth regarding Reason and the CPU usage? It has gotten more resource intensive over time. There was a time when Reason was very CPU efficient basically when it didn't have any recording, RE's, and VSTs...

Compression. Never been able to get my head round it. Getting my vocal levels right, man its always too soft or too loud, obviously! Not helpful that my voice isn't the greatest and I sound like a cross between a fog horn and a Southland farmer. I remember having bad results with Reason's stock com...

I definitely think it's worth remembering what was the initial plan and accepting that ultimately nothing is fully implemented/working as envisaged, IMG_2901.PNG It's also weird that alot of folks "Workflow" improvements are just "two worded" into "immediate results". I wonder if that is missing th...

So I’m researching a new MacBook laptop 💻 to replace my 2015 iMac 🖥 This way I can be mobile to record at my brother’s studio and take it home to mix at my studio. HOWEVER! M1 has been out for a while now and M1 max is out now but.. what is going on with RS? 🤷‍♂️ It appears they can’t seem to keep ...

How close are the digital emulations compared to the original modules, if both versions exist. I am thinking of vcv rack for exemple. As far as Analog synths I think it can get pretty close. I often play Analogs at Guitar Center and I don't hear much difference compared to VSTis like Diva or certai...

Years ago I tried Reason and quickly left because it didn't make sense. Over the last few years, I got into eurorack and decided to try Reason again. Needless to say, after having used a physical module (and other DAWs), Reason now makes a lot more sense. In the future though, I'm not sure I can do...
