Re: Arturia Announcement Today April 9 6pm CEST/12 noon EST
I really thought RS would have done this with elk like they were showing off a few years ago. Native Instruments should’ve done this by now as well. As simple as this keyboard is, it’s genius! The stage intended keyboard market is pretty boring compared to what software can do and this is a step in...

Re: i say goodby to you! Thank you!
Dear forum members, after all these years I would like to say goodbye to you, because unfortunately I can no longer pursue my beloved music due to a treacherous illness! I have been using reason since version 1.0 and I still think that Reason is one of the best software on the market. Unfortunately...

Re: Browser's auto defocus - driving me crazy !
I was kind of a fan of their old Pop up patch browser as it made it very simple for casual patch browsing. The losing focus thing gets me as well.

Re: Looks like Reason Studios have redesigned their site...
I'm noticing that other DAW maker websites don't look that great as well. So with that said Reason is somewhere in the middle of the pack (but that isn't saying much as DAW website bars must be pretty low) Cubase looks like I'm trying to buy a sofa. I like Reason's website better. FL Studio looks li...

Re: Which Reason Devices would make it on their own
most of the Props/RS instruments are very good even compared to the wider VST market imo, but sound quality is only a small part of what makes a VSTi successful. i mean everything arturia make sounded terrible until very recently and it didn't stop them from becoming one of the biggest softsynth co...

Re: NNXT tenor sax preset “blart” is very ugly and grating
I’m sure saxophonists have a proper term for the overdriven sound you get from blowing hard, but I find the sampled versions for the NNXT to be really unmusical, in this case the Tenor sax case, but it’s also bad for the baritone too IIRC. Am I’m doing it wrong? Is there a way to make it sound vagu...

Re: Which Reason Devices would make it on their own
Well, they tried and failed with Europa as a VST. Outside of the small pond that is the Reason ecosystem the instruments are not so special and would struggle to stand out in a saturated market. I think though if they focused primarily on VSTS though Europa would me more developed. That said Grain ...

Re: What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”?
What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”? And what is the difference between a full blown DAW and a creative “idea starter”? For me it’s a great idea starter partly because of the ‘fun factor’ for sure, but I can’t really clarify it much further than that. When it comes right down to it the proof i...

Re: Reason Sequencer vs Other DAWs
There are a few reasons I think: 1. Originally Reason wasn't a DAW. It couldn't record audio and didn't host VSTs. 2. Slower paced updates. I think the pacing on the updates in Reason have been fairly slow compared to other DAWs. 3. It took awhile to improve the piano roll. 4. Certain features are s...

Re: Reason 32bit floating point recording
The AudioGram sounded pretty good. It was mainly just the relatively low but quite audible noise when listening to headphones. I didn't really hear it much when listening via the MacBook Air speakers. I'm thinking it was mainly just a couple of things: The Yamaha Audiogram 3 had terrible noise and ...

Re: Reason 32bit floating point recording
16 bit recording: @ nearly twice the dynamic range of 24 track analog machines I never once heard noise coming from the recording. That said, I did little ADAT recording (less than with DA88 format), but the ‘big’ 16 bit machines I worked with had very low noise. Just like Fairlight CMI only had 8 ...

Re: Reason 32bit floating point recording
It MIGHT work since it’s coming into Reason via USB and Reason’s internal path is 32 bit. But remember, the dynamic range of 24 bit covers from dead silent to well over the threshold of pain. Not sure any voice needs THAT much dynamic range. AND, since 24 bit interfaces gives you such a wide range ...

Re: Top 5 Reason Release Moments
V1 was a revelation and a revolution.

Reason 1 (or Reason as it was known!) was streets ahead of anything else back then. S...

If Bandlab bought Reason Studios I doubt the authorization would change. If Bandlab bought Reason, it would become free. The Bandlab business model is not about selling software licenses.

Well, Pitch Edit is more a sequencer task, and less a plugin. Back in the days of first Melodyne, integration of the plugin was a chore: copying audio track into Melodyne buffer, editing, and copying back into the host. The invention of ARA as standard for pitch edit integration was for good reason...
