Re: Do you think the nowday's Reason is too CPU-heavy?

I've never had issues with Reason maxing out my CPU since I switched to my current PC in 2019, and I'm not exactly conservative with how I work. That said, I do think Reason typically feels less "responsive" or snappy (apologies for the incredibly vague terminology) to use than other DAWs, and I re...

Re: New Pricing for Reason 12 - Upgrades now 199 from 129

I suspect that there will also be a change in marketing strategy with lots more steep discounts, more SALE days. We'll probably see the full license & upgrade price 30-50% off, ~ 1year after new releases, so they would feel much beter deals then they realy are. It will probably entice new users to b...

Surprising since the % of price increase for the upgrade it's almost twice the % of inflation rate for the whole last 20 years in Sweden..

Re: Reason 12 Graphic's Issues.

All 3rd party devices look like crap at all zoom levels other than 100%. Do I have to install Reason Companion to get HD graphics for RE also, or what? REs/device not built-in are not automatically hi-res, you need to update them. If you are a R+ user, you can do that from Companion. If you are non...

Re: Looking at Reason's stock EQs through an analyser

Musically speaking, for me, it's irrelevant that the curve is not symmetrical and I don't get to boost or cut same number dBs at 15Khz+ as I do at 3Khz. But it would be nice if the graph in the EQ actually fallowed what it was doing to the audio at the current sample rate of the project.

I buy synths based more on presets than features. I tweak them, but never build one from scratch unless I need a sinewave.

Re: Reason 12 is coming!

Community seems a little toxic toward the developers. Nonsense. Some of us are just salty that Reason 12 stand-alone DAW doesn’t have any core sequencer improvements planned. There’s only a handful of users here who seem hell bent on sending vitriol towards Reason Studios. Most of us want them to s...

But why couldn't original Combinator and CombiV2 coexist? ReasonSudios (Props :P ) have mutiple EQs, COMPs, so why not combinators?

I’m going to see what R12 brings and decide then.
I don't think it will come before then?
And then you'll miss getting half price.
It's half price only for one year... non significant in the long run. Not to mention that there could be future deals on subscriptions.

Re: What would make you consider Reason+ sub?

The biggest negative (for me) is the price. 240 EUR is too expensive to pay each year. I'm not interested in the sound packs, but would probably enjoy some of the devices I don't have. I'm on R10 and will probably upgrade to R12 if they offer more workflow improvements and new core DAW functionaliti...

Re: Gradual fade clip

IF you want curve control, automate the fader or a gain plugin - then you can drag the fade out into any curve shape you want! That is what I do, but it would have been a lot easier/faster to do it in the audio clip (if needed).. drag upper corner, right click and select desired curve without invol...

Re: Gradual fade clip

Unfortunately we didn't get curves added to audio clip fades when we got automation curves. However that said, you can instead automate the audio channel's fader and adjust the curve on that. Alternatively, you can create an empty clip following the audio clip you want to fade-out, apply crossfade ...

M1 MacBook Pro (8GB RAM) running Reason under Rosetta translation. Crackles start occurring at about 5 seconds.

Re: Reason 10 & above, BRUTAL "benchmark" song

If you think setting your Audio buffer size to 1024 and then using Reason with a buffer size of 64 is not conflicting, then that would be a new meaning to the word conflicting (1024 does not equal 64). Buffer size does not have anything to with accurate and 100% repeatable events including CV in Re...

Re: Reason 10 & above, BRUTAL "benchmark" song

There is no point in setting a buffer size of 1024 and then turning off "Render Audio using audio card buffer size". This makes your sound card work with a buffer size of 1024 but Reason with a buffer size 64, this is very conflicting as Reason has to do 16 collections per the sound card collect . ...
