Re: Latest Roadmap (21 March 2022)

VST3 has to be the priority, more and more stuff is being released VST3 only, take for example Wavestate and Opsix native by Korg today...Reason is so slow at getting the obviously essential stuff done.
Stop making stupid weekly soundpacks and get the DAW up to 2020 levels (let alone 2022!)

Re: Korg Wavestate and Opsix for now native plug in for Win/Mac

They are amazing- I owned the hardware Wavestate but sold it as I needed space and it was a bugger to edit on hardware...it is so much better as software if you are just in the studio/ITB and sounds identical. I also got the OPSIX as I have been looking at that with gearlust- $150 each currently...V...

Re: R+ sale again already?

With so many 50% off sales people will obviously only subscribe for $99 a year...they should just lower the price perminaneltly, if that doesn't do it they don't have a subscription business (better to no early!) The subscription is decent value for people with no Reason....but for ,many of us with ...

Re: Reasonstudios Black Friday Week

This is the 2nd or even 3rd time they have offered a 'years' licence for $99...if they keep doing it every year then effectively a years licence does cost $99 and you would be foolish to pay any more now you know that's the pattern... Reason+ permanently costs 99USD and Runs from November to November!

Re: How would you rate the R12 upgrade? (Upgraders and R+ subscribers only)

It is more of a 'catch up' upgrade (as a DAW without scaling/zooming in 2021 is just unacceptable) than a feature/improvement upgrade. I think a lot of companies would have made HD and Combinor2 a free 11.5 upgrade (and maybe sold Mimic) but it is what it is and no one has to upgrade...if they keep ...

Sure, they have a hit of sales now, but they will have a hell of a dry patch after this as everyone who wanted their products will already o...

Re: Reason 12 TOMORROW!!!!!!!! Excitement level readings??????

Funny, I just find Reaper an ugly cluttered mess with dreadful workflow as they just threw the kitchen sink at it…. Just setting it up felt like I had programmed the DAW myself….it feels and updates like open source software, some people love that stuff I guess, not for me.

It is strange, but although I have multiple DAWS and like 'fiddling' with software, I am far more drawn to hardware synths and sequencing on AKAI Live, Circuit and a 'Hermod' in my Eurorack. Generally they have lest features than even the most basic DAW, but I 'enjoy' using them and I don't really '...

Interesting as it was used twice in the Mimic demo video made by Reason yesterday (great publicity for Pump) I looked for it on the shop and couldn't find it!
