I'm confused. You still own Suite and everything that comes with it. That doesn't change. Or are you saying you would've rather subscribed to Reason+ than have purchased and owned Reason Suite? I too am confused - why are you trying (and failing) to defend RS' absolutely terrible decision? I really...

Not sure how my statement is difficult to understand - there are a plethora of 3rd party RE's that offer things NONE of the RS RE's offer. My point was to assure Buddard that his RE's will still have value - to both R+ subscribers and traditional "forever" license subscribers. My argument is that R...

Hiding the shop is definitely mean-spirited. I don't think they intend to be mean here - it's just that the shop has no relevance to a new user - and this whole thing is for new users, not the old ones. I think they looked at their existing customer base and decided they're just not getting enough ...

I have doubts about sales being hurt, only die hard fans check the shop for new RE regularly. They’ll continue to do so. It seems a shame that you haven't realised the obvious blow to the third-party RE market - the devs have. Putting an end to feature requests? One would think that a person paying...

...just because R+ subscribers get all RS RE's doesn't devalue the RE's that third party devs offer... This is starting to get annoying now - you cannot be naive enough to believe what you just wrote? If I subscribe to Reason+, why would I buy a third-party RE? Why would I buy an instrument/tool th...

Old/current users can still upgrade to new versions, just like always, and purchase RE's separately. This is exactly the same as always. New users can still buy Reason standalone perpetual license, just like always. So it is true. Of course there are changes now that there is a new service being of...

The 'headline' from RS and some forum users is 'nothing has changed, just more options added' - this is not true - some things have clearly changed. There is now a definitive difference between an 'old Reason user' and a 'new Reason user': The old Reason user thinks sound-design is at the heart of w...

A couple of changes since previous post; I've been meaning to ask you about the Minilab - have you got a fully-working codec? The reason I ask is because I bought a MK2 a couple of months back and just could not get the encoders to work 'endlessly' as they're designed to do - everything else works ...

My templates are based around devices - usually combinators with lots of out-of-combinator connections, like separate mix-channels etc, that aren't saved with a patch.

I think I spent a long time finding out what I'm good at, only to realise I didn't enjoy it. Now I mostly enjoy doing stuff I'm not good at at all - the exploring and experimenting is the fun bit for me. I think I now find processes that I enjoy, leading occasionally to results that I like, rather t...

Well their last RE was from 2014? And the softube amps included with Reason 9 was 2016 I think? Sorry, I wasn't talking about Softube - the dev I was referencing published their last REs at the end of 2018 - apologies for the confusion, it's my poor quoting-thing! I think your wider point is 100% c...

This is definitely not how it works for us. Yeah, this does seem odd, either the dev was lying (unlikely), their 'deal' is different in some way (confusing), or they don't know how to manage their products on the RS shop - this third option is more likely(?), especially if you factor in the 'I don'...

Without any evidence, you are just speculating. I'm not sure it's OK for me to post which dev it was - or even if that's relevant - so I wont. Here's a direct quote copied and pasted from their email though: "I have absolutely no control over the Prop Shop, unfortunately. The only thing I can do is...

Did i already mentioned something about the quality of Softube's support? Alone that statement, that they have no control over the price is ...oh dear...i cannot find words for this... :? FWIW I think they're at least being genuine here - I reached out to another dev to ask about sale pricing etc, ...

When is enough ? Enough was a long time ago, right about the time you spent your first 100, I'd say... :P I've been using samplers since the 80s and I can honestly say that, to date, I haven't spent more than that on samples. Thinking about it, maybe that says more about me than you though... :D

Is it possible to load (drag&drop) midi-clips into it???? Sort of - you have to think of it in a more 'Reason' way though - you can drop a MIDI clip into the sequencer lane of the instrument you have it attached to, then click Record and run the sequencer - it should record the clip into the player...

Whether this is good news or bad news depends completely on your perspective. It definitely does cement the idea that they don't need to update the software in any of the ways suggested by (parts of) their user base - Combinator 2, Track Folders, Auto Punch-in, sequencer 'improvements', GUI DPI upda...

...I think I might like Mutator... How well does it really work obviously the sale demo makes it look great but when I've seen it used in the real world it's not that impressive.

Shit in, shit out.

Wait until Black Friday. :) Couldn't wait - loving it already - having some fun with Evolution>Mutator>Sequences :D Enjoying the Direct Recording of switching to/from mutations mid-pattern too - just what I was looking for to provide a little variation here and there - sequencer pattern automation ...

So, 2-3 weeks later and at a reduced price - is it worth getting?

Asking myself the same question - along with 'can I wait until May Madness and maybe get it for half price?'...

I should just trial it and get it over with I guess!

...with many REs the starting point is thin and crap... One man's 'thin and crap' is another man's 'sit's in the mix' (as Joey points out) - this is all entirely subjective, after all. Have you ever heard stems of professional rock/pop tracks? They use a whole fuck-ton of 'thin and crap' all layere...

No GAS here - just bought the 9 NE modules - what with stock & free I'm pretty much covered.

Which one's the smug emoji?

Evolution.

Also Sequences 1.4 - I think Sequences predates 2020(?), but the Note Conditions update this year pushed me over the edge...

Can't see this being of use to me personally, because I just don't keep old projects - they're either finished or abandoned - either way, I don't tend to 'go back' to old stuff.
