Good update. I know you are busy with VST3 'n stuff, but could you guys finally have a look at the inconsistent width of the graphics of rack devices? This really triggers me. The rack looks half-assed and messy these days.

Also, how hard is it to make the devices have a unified width? It has been pointed out in the forums already and the rack still looks like the nightmare of any professional UI designer.

Since VST3 also means potential performance benefits from the plugin nap functionality, it's a good call to prioritize it. Also, delaying the native M1 support is no big deal, since Rosetta 2 is a competent and working solution in the meantime. However, I get the impression that the development of R...

I love the honest and detailed communication in this blog post. Personally, I am more forgiving and patient, as long as I know what's going on. I understand that some undertakings need more time than anticipated and I'm always for quality releases than frequency. That is not a free ticket to become ...

Just have to add some humor as I patiently wait.

This thread is kept alive by patient people.

This thread is quite interesting. When RS does not communicate, they get slapped. If they communicate, they get slapped. If the do not communicate enough or fast enough with enough details, they get slapped. And in future, if they communicate fast with enough details, they get slapped for communica...

Seriously, what the hell. Still no official notification on the website about the delay.

Simply put, if there is a delay, I would like to see an info blog post about that on the official website blog BEFORE the announced time period is past by several days. If they say "update in October" and notice they won't make it, can't someone just post a few words of information before the 31st o...

Agevik already tweeted about it. It's not coming yet...

I don't use Twitter. Surprise. Concerning Reason, I look at their official website / blog for information.

Yyyyeah. Hi-Res rest of the UI and smart browser shipping in October. Technically, shipping the update at 23:59:59 on October 31st would still count, but it's not really what I would expect when reading the roadmap. Only one day left to keep the roadmap, and that day is a Sunday, where most folks us...

I just wasted half an hour listening to that nonsense. He couldn't even do a minute or two of research to get his facts straight? The Combinator came out in Reason 3, not 2.5. Record was integrated into Reason 6, not 8/9. Rack Extensions came in 6.5, not in 9. VST integration came in 9.5. If you ne...

So did the person in the last video figure out how to update REs to hi-res?

Yes, one of the top comments is that he learned syncing REs will do it.

This is a great example of some calm and collected thoughts and criticisms about Reason 12, the price change, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czmp1e-aL2A This one I just found also is a great insight into WHY people who grew with Reason since the early versions may be disappointed by the last ...

I must say, the price increase is a unlikeable move the way it was timed and presented. Again, not the fact THAT the price gets increased, and if future upgrades are truly exciting, I can even see myself paying those 199 (money). But on short notice, putting pressure on people, after a new version r...

Just a quick stupid question, I have read the shortcut "RPP" so often now, but dammit, what does it stand for? I hate shortcuts.

Thanks

Just a quick stupid question, I have read the shortcut "RPP" so often now, but dammit, what does it stand for? I hate shortcuts.

As a long-term Reason user, I would say that you haven't really looked enough at all the Rack devices Reason comes with. Most of them are extremely powerful and versatile on their own. Once you have figured out how to combine them in clever ways with manually routing cables on the back side, you ge...

So far: The value proposition as opposed to your competitors isn't there. If I look at it in a vacuum it's a great product, but that's not the reality. I feel much more confident to invest into Ableton, Studio One, Cubase etc. because while there are complaints about every DAW they don't seem to la...

I am sorry, but I am not the kind of person that believes in promises anymore. I am a gamer, and early access and kickstarters are a curse that barely ever delivers. Instead most projects end up in development hell, get released in a rushed and underwhelming state or are downright scams. I am willin...

Well. This is such an odd decision, communication and timing again. The argument that Reason didn't raise the price since the year 2000 is fair and I understand that hiring and paying talented developers does cost money. I have no issue with either the decision to increase the price, nor the price p...

Here's my feedback - hire more people and release upgrades that have a ton of features in them and get the hell on with it, thanks.

Well, looks like they heard you, because they announced to increase the price quite a bit. I just hope they actually deliver in return for the money.

I must admit, I am a bit torn when I keep reading the frustrated demands for Reason DAW improvements and features. I have used Reason exclusively for 10 years and the only feature I was missing was proper track freeze / unfreeze, but only because my projects grew in scope and ate my CPU for breakfas...

What I love about Reason in general: - cables! - the unique way to work with the rack, which doesn’t feel like I work with plugins. I look at rack extension as „devices“, which no other DAW manages to do for me.
 - the powerful and comfortable mixer UI
- the sequencer workflow and approach to autom...
