Problem is that everything RS do nowadays is a massive compromise. They always under-deliver. On the surface, this release looked like a really good one, but everything in it seems to deliver the bare minimum required to add it to the marketing as a feature. Nobody is surprised and delighted by anyt...

This thread deserves a one word answer:

Nowhere.

They'll do as little as they can get away with. That is the Reason Studios way.

If Reason has a long term future, it will be as very niche subscription-only plugin for use in other Draws. Pick up Reatper (or whatever other DAW) takes your fancy and use Reason as a plugin if you've already spent money on REs that you don't want to lose. Of you haven't already spent the money I'd...

That whole thing was about as cringeworthy as it gets. Good to see so much hatred for it from the users, though I doubt it will change anything. As long as the hi-dpi update is an upgrade, everyone that wants to can pony up and walk away with their REs in tow. No need to buy any further into this sh...

What a dick move. One more release then only subscriptions. If anyone thinks that isn't the game, you are deluded.

@EdwardKiy there are so many factual inaccuracies there that I'm not going to even start correcting them. I'm guessing your lack of knowledge is also what lead you to jump on the sinking Reason ship so late that only the funnel is above water.

I honestly don't understand why anyone would invest in Reason now. If you like the rack / cable thing, then you have VCV which does it so much better. It can host VST3 so you can use anything in it and will soon be a VST3 itself. You can get modules that are as good if not better than REs that cost ...

I did this with MIDI in the end. Instructions are here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7520668&p=529389#p529389

VCV is a paradise for generative music compared to Reason, but if you're anything like me, you've dropped a tonne of money on Reason devices over the years and come to appreciate some of the stock devices in all their low-res glory. I've been looking for a nice way to get notes out of VCV and into R...

The best visualisation you'll see is in Fab Filter's compressor. You can grab it for a month's trial, but as far as veratility goes, it's better than anything you can get as an RE (it's a VST). Use it for a month and go back to REs and you will pay for it. Same is true of their EQ which is incredibl...

I feel like the writing is on the wall.

Live 11 puts it so far ahead that I don't think there is any coming back for Reason. I've given them sh*t over the years for abandoning the DAW, but now, I think it's the only thing that makes any sense. They were already playing catchup, but now they aren't even in the same race. They should just c...

Live have updated their rack devices which are essentially their version of combinators. 16 macros. 16!!!!! Plus the ability to store various snapshots of said macros, and a randomise button for them to boot. It is almost like they've been reading the reason request forum and been busy implementing...

Suite was just a continuation of Reason Studios' 'Money for old rope' strategy that has been driving their approach for the last few years. It has allowed them to re-monetise things that were no longer producing revenue, be it romplers using old sound libs, or a 'suite' of REs that nobody was buying...

At least they are dependable. They commit to next to nothing, then reliably deliver next to nothing.

Here's another illuminating trend: https://trends.google.com/trends/explor ... %20studios

I think this pretty much says it all.

The honest answer is that other DAW have invested in consist improvements and innovation, while Reason Studios have done as much as possible to capitalise on existing tech while investing in REs and abortive projects (Reason iOS, Ballance, the other iOS apps etc). They are now really, really far beh...

Just buy Fab Filter Pro Q. Then you'll never need to think about it again. 25% off bundles at the moment. that’s an absurd price for lots of people. I could certainly afford it if I really wanted to spend $180, and I’ve given it some serious thought, but there’s seriously no need to spend that kind...

Personally I wouldn't put any money into Reason or Rack Extensions. Though many will object, Reason has been on a downward trajectory for many years now, with a smaller and smaller user base as people move to other DAWs. It was bought out by some VC a couple of years back and they are looking to mak...

I would guess there is almost zero chance. They dipped their toes in the water and abandoned ship years and years ago.

I think it's very much dependent on what you put in, both in terms of audio/samples and time. I record picked guitar and feed it in and get some lovely sounds out. It's definitely not at all intuitive and although the manual is helpful, I can see how the learning curve is pretty savage. I've used Fr...

Just noticed that you get 20 reward points for picking up Lite via Plugin Boutique. I'd been two points off a £50 discount for ages, but this pushed me over limit and let me pick of Torsion for £14.

I'm pretty sure they just close them automatically as soon as they're received, so I wouldn't worry about it.
