Re: Reason 12 STILL doesn’t save detached window positions

FYI when I run detached screens (all three separate), across two monitors, the positions are saved when I re-open a project file.

R12, Windows10

Re: Reason 12 Graphic's Issues.

This was my R12 experience yesterday. The icon for the STOP button on the transport ceased to exist.

Re: Acid techno challenge 2021

And here we go again….. instead of this being an antidote to the current vibe of the forum, it’s just carried over to a new thread. “Stock’ is whatever that means to you, with the version you’re on.

Re: What's happened to us (/them)? ... (10 years after discovering RE trademark and patent)

My excitement for Reason began when I first forayed into exploring DAWs, and after trialing Fruity Loops and Cubase, stumbled upon Reason 4. The concept of the rack was incredible. Being able to cable instruments and FX was quite mind-blowing to me. When the announcement was made that third-party de...

Re: Reason 12 has arrived

That's not entirely true, Billy+. There is 7 month's worth of Sound Packs released prior to Reason 12 that work just fine in Reason 11, and these can even be used if you cancel your R+ sub (once you download a Pack, you have them forever). Are there any new stock sound packs/refills/combinators spe...

Out of interest is rhythmic stock as I hardly ever use it so decided to make my drums in it this time. I cannot remember buying it so assume it is stock.
Rytmik and Monotone came out together as stock devices, to translate the iOS mobile projects into the Reason rack.

They still haven't given any thought to revising the color options, nor the poor text contrast on darker colors.

Very disappointing.

Re: What's happened to us (/them)? ... (10 years after discovering RE trademark and patent)

The transport looks like it was rendered in draft mode, things are rendering poorly on some machines, and some are suffering from serious high CPU issues.

can't you use the big meter tuner in reason ? on Mac you can open with Comand+F3 or from the Windows menu It's great for you to mention this - a thread from earlier this year suggested that many people don't know about the in-built tuner. I do though. I can also launch that window straight from a b...

Although there is one single VST that's almost always in my rack, and that's a tuner. Reason really needs to have a rack tuner.

Rack Extensions here, without a doubt. They feel very integrated, and the back-panel breakouts are what makes the format great. If I want to split out audio to a second iteration, the visual The one-stop-shop licensing and installation is a brilliant execution too. That looks to be an even better us...

I bought one a few years ago that seems like a well rounded guide. And that is:

Looking at an Amazon listing for the book, it gets 4.7 stars from over 1,000 reviews, so take that as you will. :thumbs_up:

And how many refunds can someone be granted, I wonder ? For example: A user takes up the 'good faith' pre-increase priced upgrade option, as Joey suggests On the 19th October, a refund is claimed, and honored. The RS roadmap 'plan, not a promise' is to address graphics 'In October'. That October day...

well... it might be, around the handling of RE trials in future. I'll let the group know in four days, unless Joey happens to have an update before then.
