Re: R12, 16 months on, ... how are you all finding it?

I’m now finding it from the plugin menu of another daw instead of from my windows quickbar.

That’s what happens when you don’t listen to your user base.

Re: Using UAD Satellite Quad USB with R12.5

I can't answer for the satellites, but I have some UAD-2 PCI cards in my system and they work just fine in Reason. They will indeed offload some of the plugin load from your CPU, although the DSP chips are very old now and not that powerful. A quad is probably the minimum you'll need to get some dec...

Re: Top 5 Reason Release Moments

Rack extensions in 6.5 was the defining moment for me. Opening up the rack like that was just a massive paradigm shift.

Re: Which DAW should I get to replace Reason? (Windows only)

Figured I'd necro this thread to give an update on how this panned out. It took a lot for me to consider leaving Reason as my main DAW but the R12 debacle and the fact that I'm disappointed with almost every new implementation in Reason lately (zoom, then VST3) pushed me over the edge. I finally bit...

Re: R12, 16 months on, ... how are you all finding it?

Back to the original question, R12 is stable at last but it took a year to get there. VST3 still has some way to go but it's nice to have the option at least. I agree with Aquila about the inserts, they were better before. So much wasted space now and extra clicks to get there. Combi 2 is nice, but ...

Re: Reason 12.5.0 Released (VST3)

Another problem with VST3 unfortunately, the preset browser in the VST3 wrapper doesn't work. Many plugins don't have internal presets browsers but rely on the one in the DAW. Reason never implemented this in a good way, but now it's completely broken. Try any plugin alliance plugin in VST2 vs VST3...

They are going to have to install a filter in the browser to list VST2, VST3, or both types when browsing. Going through a double list of all my VSTs is going to suck HARD every time I want to find something. Especially with the giant icons they use. You can always make favorite lists, I would reco...

And just a friendly mod reminder that specifics about the beta (features, performance, screenshots, etc.) should only be discussed in the beta forum on the Reason Studios site.

Re: What are your deepest dreams/visions about Reason?

In addition to VST3, track folders, and the usual suspects I would really really REALLY like to see more hardware controller support. If Reason could somehow become THE BEST at remoting it would serve the program incredibly well IMO.

Re: Reason Financials 2021

Don't discount how much of this decline in revenue could be due to poor RE sales. RS must have made a fortune on their (extortionate) royalties from third-party devs in at least some of the prior years. This has probably all but dried up now due to VST support, lack of RE releases and lack of develo...
