Yep. I can relate to this. Your DAW, your REs/plugins, whatever tools your using becomes your instrument. Just like with any tool or instrument you're using over a long period time, it eventually becomes an extension of yourself and it affects the way you play/think/create. At least that's my exper...

I don't know if it's a happy coincidence that Reason works so well for me, or if I have adapted a workflow within Reason to make the music I want to, or if using Reason has actually shaped the way I make music, or some combination of these. If I had to guess, I would say that 18 years of using Reaso...

Quick question: what are the benefits (if any) to beta testing? Do I get R11 free or discounted when it goes live?

No, you just get to try it during the beta phase. You lose access to it once it is actually released, and then you have to pay the same as everyone else who didn't beta test it.

You keep saying we’re not understanding your intentions correctly so what you to do is be more clear because all we can go on is what you write. That’s a you problem that only you can fix. Please be more clear when commenting. We all know you’re just using that as an excuse because you have no argu...

Jesus christ you are pedantic. ok, all arguments the same, but replace "4k" with the Mclass general purpose/surgical EQ > i.e. why no updated version with more bands in the last 14 years? By your arguments, why did Reason even bother adding the MCLass 4 band at all? They already had a 2 band EQ. Ac...

If you don't have anything further to add to the discussion you can just say so. You don't have to post passive aggressive emoticons and play ASCII games.

The part you're not comprehending on purpose I think Besides the fact that "not comprehending on purpose" is somewhat of a contradiction, you are wrong in your assumption that this is what is happening. As I said to the other guy, you will have to take my word for that unless you have some ability ...

"If another DAW has a feature, then Reason doesn't need it." "Reason is a different paradigm" If this is your way of thinking, just take one popular request - 4K support. How would adding 4k support ruin the Reason "paradigm"? I don't necessarily think that any of those features are contrary to Rea...

1 - my apologies, I missed the rest of your non-answer. I accept the apology, but the latter part of that sentence was completely unnecessary. If you're just going to write off my responses to you as "non-answers" just because it wasn't the answer you wanted, then I'm not really interested in furth...

Oh, by the way: NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO SPEND ANOTHER $100-$800 FOR ANOTHER DAW, JUST TO USE A WORKFLOW THEY DON'T LIKE BECAUSE IT HAS A NUMBER OF FEATURES THAT SHOULD ALREADY BE IN REASON. That's tough. As I have said previously to somebody else, you pay the money for the feature set of the software ...

Just so we're clear, it's ok for you to "conveniently ignore" parts of my post, but when you (incorrectly) believe that this is what I have done, you use it as the basis for a rebuttal to the point I made. I don't actually care, just wanting to make sure I've understood correctly. please explain how...

re: 1 - you conveniently ignored the rest of the paragraph. Except I didn't, did I. I responded to each point in the first paragraph I was quoting in separate parts. I didn't omit anything at all from your first paragraph. I don't know why you would assert that I did when it is plainly obvious that...

Mashers, are you in charge of marketing for R11? "Reason; it doesn't have every feature ready to use!" "Reason; not supposed to be cutting edge!" "Reason; use something else instead!" Pretty catchy... It's pretty obvious that I'm not so I'm going to interpret your comment as an attempt to imply tha...

a whole bunch of words at this point, the idea that "it's not intended as a DAW" is flat false. I didn’t say it’s not intended as a DAW. Consider my clause “a DAW with every feature there ready to use” as a single noun phrase. "intended as a replication of hardware device with the convenience of so...

Reason didn't start out as a DAW. But it's clearly been a DAW for years now. I didn't say it's not a DAW. I said it's "not intended as a DAW with every feature there ready to use. It is intended as a replication of hardware device with the convenience of software". You are conflating features and w...

Wow every step forward with this DAW is a fight. You can't express how helpful it would be to have a simple mix knob on the MClass compressor without getting into the weeds about ratios and whether you actually need it or not or talking about work-arounds.s any indication, This times a million. I c...

Yeah you’re right I get kinda triggered when people who don’t understand feature requests shoot them down. My bad

I think the problem is that you are confusing "discussion" with "shooting down", and are presuming to know the level of understanding in another person's mind.

Mashers, you're in for a real treat. Create a parallel channel of your drum bus, turn down the volume of the parallel channel, dial the compressor on the parallel channel to extreme values, like a ratio of 20:1, fast attack, fast release. And now slowly turn up that channel fader and blend dry with...

If you can’t understand how it would sound how can you come up with a solution? Because I understand the concept. Running a spider is the hard way. Why do that when you could compress audio hard and roll back the wet knob to taste? Obviously if the compressor had a wet/dry knob then you wouldn't us...

Parallel compression, blending between dry and "wet" (compressed) signal.

Interesting, I had never heard of this and having quickly read up on it I understand the principle but cannot imagine how it would sound. You could easily wire this up in Reason using a Spider if you needed to,.

Poor excuse for not having a wet/dry control because it's not on the SSL h/w the plugin is based on. Most every developer that has an SSL channel strip or individual plugin emulation has a wet/dry control on the compressor. I don't understand why a wet/dry parameter would be needed on a compressor....

I'll just wait for a sale.

I get almost constant emails from props telling me I can get a massive discount on Reason 10, when they know I already own it. The cynic in me knows that those emails will stop for a good while once 11 is out :/

I made it through 57 seconds and couldn't take any more. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't all so self-aggrandising. But these "artists" just sound like shallow egomaniacs. The whole genre is completely pathetic and devoid of any artistic qualities. Art is supposed to be an expression of somethin...

Well precisely. Nobody will do that, because it would be career suicide.

what are we supposed to do besides recycle Pointless. They've just been dumping it all in Indonesia. It's up to the FAT CATS screaming at us from their high horse to do something about it.
