Re: Looks like Reason Studios have redesigned their site...
Ironic timing as I just got through downloading my Ableton Live 12 upgrade. Been wondering what's been going on with RS Inc going AWOL the last few months. All this time on a Swedish winter holiday? Nope...it was all hands on deck updating their website. Sheesh! I realize that RS Inc surrendered the...

Re: How to recommend Reason Studios to your friend
Reason is still the King when it comes to giving you the closest hardware experience in software. And for sound design, the Combinator is hard to beat. Only if the RRP would allow VSTs and stock devices from other DAWs!!

Re: My journey with Reason+
Yeah that's all I'm pointing out. I guess some people here seem to think that those who do find value in Reason+ must be delusional. Everybody keeps saying, "that's assuming subscribers want all the REs". Yeah I'm sure many of them do—if not all, most of them. The biggest appeal of the subscription...

Re: My journey with Reason+

Re: My journey with Reason+
I still believe that Reason’s subscription model doesn’t work for anyone already invested in a ‘perpetual’ license. It’s also not that great of a deal if you don’t want any of the additional REs (or the sound packs). But for someone just starting out and wanting “everything”, it appears to be far c...

My journey with Reason+
I was a Reason+ subscriber for 2+ years after previously upgrading to Reason 11 suite. At first, I thought it was a good deal, getting all of those Rack Extensions made by Reason Studios "for free". I would roll my eyes at Reason users who stuck to their guns with owning a Reason license. They whine...

Re: Assuming there's going be one, what you think is coming in Reason 13?
No I don't take anything personal with criticism towards my take on the matter. The ones who would criticize a hardware direction are most likely heavily invested into Reason as a DAW. Yet it's been a very long time since I've seen a single feature request from any Reason user that can't already be ...

Re: Assuming there's going be one, what you think is coming in Reason 13?
While adding sequencer features definitely wouldn't hurt, it would be delusional for any Reason user to expect that there will be some kind of "catch-up" to other DAWs. Not happening. Instead, what should happen is having Reason integrated into some kind of hardware platform. Whether it's the develo...

Which Reason Devices would make it on their own
Which Reason Devices do you think would sell well as a standalone plugin? I think Objekt, Friktion, and maybe Algorhythm. Europa and Grain would be possible contenders but not sure how well they would compete.
Your thoughts?

Re: Offline authorization will be discontinued for R11 and earlier - This is serious
A lot of you are overthinking this, as I once did. Whatever you think of subscription models, R+ remains the best deal, especially if you time it for renewing annually during times where you get a sales discount (May, post Black Friday). It's painful to watch Reason users squeeze every last ounce ou...

Re: Objekt has arrived!
Having spent a couple of weeks messing around with Objekt, I think Reason Studios did a great job providing starter templates and the randomizer is helpful in getting variations. Still I'd like to learn more about what I'm doing. In particular, I'd like resources for understanding physical modeling ...

Re: SuperBooth 2023 Confession - Reason is for starting an idea
Ironic how diverse the Reason Community is, yet this sense of incompleteness pervades throughout. I'm in the camp of keeping Reason away from being just another DAW. I'm totally ok with RRP and the focus on devices and the rack paradigm. But like everybody else, I have my own wishlist: 1a. I want be...

I admit that while Objekt has a much better interface than Logic Sculpture, I wasn't all that blown away......UNTIL I started messing around with the external in feature. Now that is a game changer in and of itself!

Re: Why is Reason Lacking in so many popular DAW lists for 3rd party products
Understandable that the OP wants us to stick to the topic but asking such a question can't avoid the subject of Reason falling behind the other DAWs. And maybe Reason made peace with it with releasing RRP.

Re: Reason 12.5.0 Released (VST3)
I've been playing around with this release for a few hours this morning on a Mac mini M1. So far this release has crashed about 4-5 times. Never experienced crashes like this before. It probably has to do with installing VST3 wrappers for the Moog Model D and Model 15 plugins. But hey at least glad ...

Pulled the trigger on R+ for another year. Almost didn't. I was so disgusted by the over the top propaganda of VST 3 support, a feature every other DAW addressed years ago. But Ryan's videos always manage to suck me in.
