Re: Reason Studio lawsuit underway - join in!

Hello fellow Reason enthusiasts! Has anything ever broken down for you in Reason without any action from your side, such as a RE suddenly stopped working and now requiring an update/login? Have you been coerced to update over and over instead of being offered a solution within the version you curre...

Re: Good Speaker Monitoring for Mix and Mastering or Sound designing

I bought headphones for this but am always too worried about ear damage to fully concentrate on the music.

I chose mine because of how similar they sounded to Genelecs in the store (though the newer editions moved manufacture to Taiwan and the sound is said to have changed a bit since then).

Re: Reason 12.7.4 Release Notes

Has Reason basically been abandoned now workflow wise? just ridiculous now. We're half way through the third month of 2024 after a year of waiting for workflow additions.

Re: Reason 12.7.4 Release Notes

This particular bug in Europa created a problem in my mix; a track with Europe was suddenly louder, and I couldn’t figure out why my track sounded louder and harsh as I was close to finishing the mix. I had to redo the chain in that track to compensate for that and make other changes in the song al...

Re: Reason 12.7.4 Release Notes

I just assume based on Release notes. So output of Europa is not always louder when dist is used in the "bug-introduced" Reason version ? Does the bug happen only if older songs are loaded and not if you are using new instance of Europa and creating new sounds or loading older patches ? The release...

Re: Reason 12.7.4 Release Notes

For anybody who wants to get consistent and exact sounding patches for all subsequent Reason versions, this is serious sound design issue. But they've fixed the bug. So backwards compatibility has not been broken. Even if the bug is fixed now, it has broken the patch compatibility because using pat...

Re: Reason 12.7.4 Release Notes

The fact that the latest versions of Reason can introduce bugs into the old devices worries me. I thought that there is no reason to touch the device's sound engine code at all when implementing other DAW new features and changes. But if this happens and bugs occur in older devices, it means that p...

Re: open source millitary percussion beats available?

There's a lot of variation available to percussionists. Just think of what a percussionist can do with a single drum! The simplest approach that hasn't changed in the last 30 years is to stitch samples together. Alternatively, you can try key-switching with the more advanced instruments you'd find i...

I don't care for the new design, but what worries me is priority support for Reason+ subscribers. What will be next? Dark theme only for subscribers? Service updates only for subscribers? More than 5kb/s download bandwidth only for subscribers? Was pointing that out really necessary? I now feel lik...

Re: Looks like Reason Studios have redesigned their site...

The video is too jumpy to play automatically on the home page. At the very least let it breathe for a few seconds. Other than that, the rest of the design is quite solid. There is a huge design flaw with the audio preview's playback control, because at the default browser width, the track position/d...

Re: Reason 12 Performance

Windows's high-resolution timer is less predictable than macOS at high frequencies with many background threads. There are tricks to make up for it a little, and Steinberg and Ableton may have better approaches that work well for 64 frames than Reason. There's also the possibility that Cubase and Li...

The improved Reason Search ...

After the disappointment of the "improved" search when R12 was launch, I hadn't checked its progress until today.

I'm surprised. They really did improve it!

At least on OSX, it's search is now comparable to all of the other DAWs instead of being 100x slower.


Bravo!


Search is now usable.

The #1 motivation for getting YouTube Premium is removing ads. But now, most content creators include ads (promos) in their videos.

Yes, ... I was more than happy with M1 8gb performance (even with MacBook air).

I found 16 GB M1 Mac mini with 1tb SSD for £720.

It arrived today in immaculate condition.

I'll have to wait until Saturday to give it a spin as I've got a lot of installing to do.
