Re: Suggestion for an easier to digest Reason release strategy as another alternative to subscription and perpetual

This is a good idea. I suggested the same thing to the Reason people a while back. To take it a step further, Reason+ Subscription should be rent to own the Reason DAW, with the added benefit of access to all the Reason plugins and sound packs while you're subscribing. If they did it this way, I don...

Re: Reason+ from a developer point of view

Since the "main" thread is up to 67 pages long, it is hard to follow and have a constructive discussion. So I wanted to start a thread specifically for developers and get their opinion/point of view. So I guess I am going to start: * the announcement of Reason Hi Res is by far the thing that is exc...

Re: Suggestions on how to achieve the following using extensions in Reason?

Just thinking about it more, I might try vocoding it using Torsion or Grain as the carrier sound along with Neptune like you've suggested.

Suggestions on how to achieve the following using extensions in Reason?

Is it possible to hook up a few rack extensions to make something like this? Or am I better off getting the plugin?

Re: Is Skeuomorphism Reason's Achilles Heel?

I don't think it's that big of a problem. It forces some constraints into the workflow, which can increase creativity. I also find that each rack extension has it's own flavor/personality, part of which comes from the way to you interact with the device in addition to aesthetics. So while Bitwig's g...

Re: Soundpacks available to buy for non Reason+ users?

Yeah and maybe they can spotlight full songs and do something special with that, such as "Explore how this song was made by this artist in Reason" or "See how this artist made this song in Logic" and it can include the song file, a walkthrough video/interview, or whatever. Exactly. Here are some ex...

Re: Mattias: "Reason IS the rack (...) that's how we see the product"

In fact, I was thinking about how Reason might handle Bitwig/Ableton style clip launching and I can see them mack a rack extension for that...maybe something that can pull from the blocks, or has its own set of discrete blocks within it. Yeah, we've been there... https://forum.reasontalk.com/viewto...

Re: Mattias: "Reason is the rack and you can use it as a plug-in or standalone with its own sequencer and mixer etc."

I think Reaper has a different philosophy and it feels in some ways more like an open-source community project that allows users the flexibility to create their own take on things. Reason has a more curated approach. I imagine the team is doing R&D. They probably have a ton of stuff in the works, mu...

Re: Where is Reason going ?

I've been doing music (in some form or another) since I was about 6. I'm 37 now. I absolutely see the value in sound packs, loops, presets and tools to speed up the process or otherwise allow me to "stumble" across inspiration. Yeah maybe that makes it easier for people who don't really know what t...

Re: Mattias: "Reason IS the rack (...) that's how we see the product"

Not controversial IMO, without the amazing Rack, Reason is just another average DAW. I only wish RS was more INTO the rack concept themselves, and we didn't have things like cable-less Player devices with no CV in/out, instruments like Complex-1 with only a single pair of CV in/out. I'm sure if the...

Re: Mattias: "Reason IS the rack (...) that's how we see the product"

This will be an unpopular opinion but as a full time Reason user since 9.5 and someone who is pro-Reason in a world of Ableton Live etc. users I have come to the conclusion that for me Reason is the rack. I find the mixer page incredibly ugly and a pain to work with and try to use it as little as p...

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+

Don't follow reason anymore so I've only just heard about this update but my take: shit sucks just as bad as the last five years of reason updates have. See you guys the next time reason drops some shit corporate SAAS bullshit & tries to market it as a benefit to long time users I don't understand ...

Re: Announcing Reason 11

Hi everyone, This is my first post, but hopefully, it provides a bit of a different perspective from a lot of what I've read here. First of all, I am primarily a visual artist and game developer who wanted to learn how to use a DAW to make game music and beats in 2015. I did an exhaustive search of ...
