Re: MusicTech: Niklas Agevik talks Reason
Like most of the people here, I love Reason. I love the flexibility of the rack, the streamlined utility of the mixer, the abundance of high-quality instruments and effects, and the general aesthetic. That love is precisely why I hope it can evolve into a complete and efficient recording and editing...

Re: MusicTech: Niklas Agevik talks Reason
I make a living from music, I know it is challenging, and I know that the DAW you use isn't the deciding factor. But I can't score in Reason alone. I wish that I could. And what are considered QOL improvements by some are time-saving efficiencies for others that cannot be parted with when deadlines ...

Re: MusicTech: Niklas Agevik talks Reason
Watching movies and playing games is- for the overwhelming majority of people- recreation. There is a significant number of us making a living from their music that love Reason and want to see Reason Studios aspire to build a fully-featured DAW that doesn't require workarounds or other DAWs to host ...

Re: Reason Financials 2021
There is a lot to be said for an inexpensive yet powerful DAW, even if you are required to find your instruments elsewhere. Use all the money you saved to buy a few instruments. You could buy Reaper, Komplete ($399 on sale right now) and a tank of gas for the cost of Reason 12. I enjoy Reason, but I...

Re: Freezing
There would certainly be cases when a freeze function wouldn't make sense or couldn't be applied. Nevertheless, for many tracks- if not most- I suspect it would make perfect sense. They (RS) could and should make it available in those cases. I honestly think a lot of this debate would, once boiling ...

Re: Plugin Discounts - SSL Valentines Sale
I know that SSL is a VERY established and highly regarded hardware manufacturer, but I don't know much of them as a software maker. There are very few reviews of any of their plugins from major publications- or even popular YouTube channels. I suspect this might simply be because their regular price...

Re: What comes first: EQ or Compressor, etc.
This is my philosophy. EQ to correct for any excessive frequency stacking, compression, and then some gentle EQ to sculpt the sound before sending it all to a limiter.

Re: guitarists! Neural DSP Black Friday sale
Archetype Cory Wong is terrific. I've got Fortin Cali Suite, too- great for heavy tones that cut through a mix, but surprisingly versatile. It's a hotrodded British tube amp, so it sounds good at low gain- but it excels at that edge of breakup sound. Killer blues tone from a neck pickup.

Re: Reason Studios shares their roadmap
I would prefer to use the latest stable release- which is 11- and I believe I should be allowed to... but, at a minimum, they should have provided the links that Ottostrom did and explained why I couldn't use 11...

Re: Reason Studios shares their roadmap
I just want a stable copy of Reason. I asked support if I (being an owner of 12) could have access to the last version of 11 until they get this sorted out. Just curious - did you buy a copy of 11 in the past? Or do you just buy a license for (or sub to) 12? I upgraded from 10 to 12- I never owned ...

Re: The Best Reason Synth?
If we evaluate the value of a synth in terms of versatility- Jack of all trades- Thor is best. If best means the highest quality result for a given sonic function- however limited in the number of uses it might be- then it’s hard to beat Subtractor for thick monophonic stuff. That being said, I have...

Re: The DAW's future
I think that RS has determined that it’s too late for them to catch up to the likes of Cubase, Ableton, Studio One, etc.- in other words, they lack the resources to add features to the DAW at a pace that would make it competitive with the major players. Reason 11 made that clear: when your best sale...

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+
In light of the way that the subscription announcement was received- by most on this forum and across social media- what REALLY doesn't make any sense is the reluctance to say anything to assuage these fears. Throw us a bone. They did. Mattias said they weren't getting rid of licensing. Or that the...

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+
I speculate that the standard upgrade price is about to go up for R12. It would likely be perceived as a way to add value to the R+ service in the eyes of RS. That seems likely to me, too. It’s all cost/benefit optics. The game that RS will be playing for the next few years is to try to make the R+...

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+
It really comes down to this: the Reason community is getting desperate for RS to demonstrate a commitment to the core program, and instead of that, we see marketing and repackaging. First, R11 was basically R10 with some devices thrown in- most already years old, and gathering dust. Now we get the ...

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+
I'm just thinking that the only way to make R+ appealing to license holders is to fold the old RE subscriptions into the new model- for the sake of argument, adding $11 to each of the old tiers and effectively renting Reason for $11/month. License owners should get the Reason version number deducted...

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+
I can't really picture them splitting the rack plugin from the main DAW as two separate products. They tried that kind of approach a decade ago with the split between Reason and Record, and it was a bad move. I think they figured out it was better to keep things simple instead of splitting out thei...
