Re: R12 refund. Enough is enough.

it is pretty depressing reading all this... i think now at this stage reason should scrap the daw, concentrate on the vst and advise us to move to another daw - ill take ableton myself purely chosen on its massive userbase

Re: R12 refund. Enough is enough.

yep R12 is buggy R10 for me was rock solid i loved it. atm i run R12 on the new windows OS and R12 is 'fine' but im only using it to record these days - do mostly everything via Octatrack, Digitone and LXR02. So i dont really push R12 at all. However i do have the funds available to switch DAW, but ...

Re: CLAP - Open Source Plugin Format

Yea, lets reinvent the wheel. We can make it rounder than others... One thing that is missing and is obviously the biggest drawback, that if a dev does not update or recompile its plugins, you are doomed. So many interesting VSTs out there, still at 32bit or never got updated to any newer OS... som...

Re: Hardware VS Software.. // Why Go Dawless?

since i got an octatrack my daw and all my other hardware takes a back seat. I think i could just have the octatrack and use reason to master now. I have maybe had the Octa for 8months? i own: octa (main device) digitone (overbridge mostly into reason) opz (not used for ages ) pocket operator - toni...

While my "the splash screen is rubbish" comment was totally glib and should be taken as such, I do think it's funny that there are people insisting that the splash screen isn't at all important in an update currently dedicated primarily to graphical improvements. Why would it be important? The grap...
