Problem with U-He plugins at high audio buffer settings

Obviously, the 10.3 release helped performance greatly, but I found a problem unique to U-He plugins such as Repro 5, Bazille, Hive, Zebra, Zebra HZ, etc, where at higher buffer settings the audio craps out. At 4096, this can happen with even a single instance of one of these plugins. Other plugins ...

Re: You wake up as the CEO of Propellerhead. What would you do?

I think this would be an evolving few minutes... 1. Realize I'm CEO of PH ----- "Oh wow! This is awesome" 2. Remember that our core product has significant performance problems ----- "Damn! We've got to get that fixed" 3. Remember we missed our commitment for a fix date and did a fairly poor job of ...

Re: Trying to decide: Reason, Sampletank or Kontakt

First off, let me say that I own and use all of the software you mention. Cutting to the chase and keeping in mind you are mostly coming from an audio recording perspective where you'll be adding in midi, loops, etc., I'd suggest the following. - Reapaer as your DAW. It's so good and amazingly effic...

Re: Reason Drum Kits RE in the shop!

So happy to hear that the kits sound just like the NNXT versions from the original RDK refill. The Quest kit is SO tight and funky... a long time favorite. This is a great RE and the discount for existing RDK owners is very much appreciated. Great job, Props.

Re: Do you think the VST performance update will be out before 2019?

It makes little difference IMO. The main thing is that they get it absolutely right when they do release the update. Each year I spend a healthy amount of $ on new or updated software (VST, VSTi, Libraries, etc). None of that spending has gone to PH in 2018 and won't until this issue is resolved. Th...

If anyone needs some tips to start with AudioJungle or stock in general, I can help :)

One quick question please. You mention in other posts that consistently uploading new material is key. How frequently should this be in your opinion?

Thanks much for any insight.

Re: Question regarding reports of performance issues

The core issue is simple to explain. Compared to a number of other DAW's, Reason's performance when using VST's is very poor. If we had no other DAWs to compare it to, we would see VST performance in Reason as "it is what it is". But since we can create similar VST based projects across multiple DAW...

Re: Reason 10 too slow with VST

I love Reason, and I don't much care for Reaper, but more than anything, I like getting my projects finished, so Reaper was the winner today and unfortunately, is probably going to keep winning until the Props can deliver on their performance promise. I just hope they can make a significant enough ...

Re: Reason Slow Performance - when is optimisation coming?

I did a Reason vs. Reaper test a little while ago, running Repro 5. I think it's in the Repro thread. Huge difference in the number of instances I was able to run. VK-2 is certainly a heavy one! I think the way Reason works (CV) and processes audio makes optimization a big task - good luck Props! H...

Re: Should Propellerheads turn Reason into a AU/VST and focus solely on content rather than being a DAW?

Long time lurker - First post - Reason user since version 1.0 Since Props brought in private equity ownership a little over a year ago, I'd suggest they will do whatever drives the most short & long term growth / return on investment. Could be any of a number of possibilities. I have no data, but it...
