Re: Ableton 11 Release Announced

The String Quartet Pack by Spitfire Audio, "included" with Live 11, is absolutely stunning. Time melts away whilst using it. Just saying.
Just this pack alone, regardless of all the other additions & updates to Live, is worthy of the upgrade.

Re: Ableton 11 Release Announced

You're not wrong in equating them. The Blocks feature was implemented to appeal to the Ableton Live crowd but it needs further developing IMO to be useful for most people. It is not the default mode because most Reason users dont sequence with blocks, they either use Rack sequencers or the main lin...

Re: Ableton 11 Release Announced

the deed is done folks- I bought Ableton Suite. Fair is fair- they did their homework and became the world's premier DAW. Too many people I work with use it so I couldn't avoid it any longer. As a Logic and Ableton guy I will still use Reason. As a plug-in. :clap: Get yourself a Push 2 and fulfil y...

Re: Ableton 11 Release Announced

I always equate session view in Ableton Live, to Blocks view in Reason. Why Blocks is Disabled by default baffles me. There are lots of new Reason students that haven’t a clue about Blocks. The developers seemed to have abandoned it and hidden it within Reason

(Electronic Pop) Don’ Let Go Done entirely in Reason, with the exception of the pad (Omnisphere) and lead synth (Pigments) in the introduction. Drums are layered with a Redrum kit and a Dr Rex Electronic kit preset. A good old matrix is applied to Pan and Filter on the main arpeggiated Subtractor sy...

VST 3 Host & NKS Support for Reason Rack in external DAW

1 VST 3 Host This is badly needed. It’s the main reason I jumped onto the Ableton Live Ship some years back to be able to host my Roland Cloud Zenology Pro plug in. Just as it took so long to integrate General VST compatibility, I’ve a feeling it may be over looked again in the V12 release later thi...

Re: Has VST-support ruined Reason?

Reason Studios need to quickly become compatible to host VST3. I'm an avid Reason user since its inception, but I've been using Ableton Live 10 so much more over the last 8 months to host certain VST3 plugins i use. And I have to say the switch has been fantastic as i'm loving the new work flow with...

[solved] Keep Reason 10 alongside Reason 11

Just to let some of you know, that may be unaware, but I believe that the Reason 11 Factory Soundbank has been neutered, and some patches and sounds have been removed. Anybody else notice this? As some of my earlier Reason projects, from Reason 1-9, work perfectly fine in Reason 10, but have factory...

Re: I think I'm done with Reason, should I sell my license?

Definitely Keep. Also some of Reasons "CPU heavy" rack extensions are pretty "CPU light" when you use Reason as a VST3 plugin in Ableton Live. I was amazed at the difference, compared to when using them standalone in Reason. VST3 in Live is the way to go for you, I'm sure. :D Anyhow always good to h...

Re: Roland - buy the VSTs now available

Using Roland Cloud as a VST3 in Ableton Live is significantly more CPU friendly than a VST2 in Reason at the moment. Hopefully in the next Reason point update they support hosting VST3

Add Ableton Push 2 or invest in more Rack Extensions??

I'm with Reason since Rebirth and love the software. Many years a keyboard player with vast musical experience so Reason is always a firm favourite with me. However I've been watching a lot of Push2 video tutorials and it's looking very appealing and I feel like I'm gravitating towards a purchase. H...

Best Midi Controller to use with Reason

Nektar Panorama P6 is amazing.

I have created a Reason song template and I boot up the P6 and work away. 

The next step Nektar have to focus on is somehow being able to integrate with Reason Blocks.
