looking at what I paid for the 11 racks I own included in suite .... and well the 249 for a few more racks I did not want or would have bought during the many sales... is a slap in the face... discount what we paid you for, and I will consider upgrading... ignore loyal users and lose money... perio...

We hope that offering our newly announced Reason Suite at a $249 for existing customer is huge demonstration of good will. Well it's not if you already own most of them, haha. Even as I type this Processed Pianos is selling for $99 and Polystep is selling for $69 in the shop. Imagine the people tha...

I think Propellerhead has already responded to this question by suggesting that what they want above all things is for more people enjoy music making in there own way. Wanna stay? Good, we hope you find our recent offerings inspirational. Moving to another platform? Good, we hope you will consider t...

Well, it sure good to know that changing the channel didn't change the plethora of complains. Don't get me wrong: I am greatly amused (and a bit impressed) with the consistency of complaining about Reason, forsaking reason. Surprisingly, I missed any threads gloating about the final barrier to Reaso...

I don't know if there will ever be a time where individuals will spare themselves from being hoisted on their own petard, especially when it means that they fell short of communicating a thought that receives widespread acceptance and approval. Oh wait, that's the notes from debate club. Okay, right...

Interesting thread title. I'm sitting in my office, surrounded by all manner of electronic device. Despite getting a degree in sociology and serving in the armed forces, I find myself performing the duties of an it admin and marketing coordinator. My path wasn't intentional, nor accidental. I love t...

smug (sməɡ)/adjective having or showing an excessive pride in oneself or one's achievements; "he was feeling smug after his win" synonyms: self-satisfied, self-congratulatory, complacent, superior, pleased with oneself, conceited I think its fair to presume that this definition applies to every livi...

Yes, I use ReCycle because it creates the content I need to satisfy the needs of my clients. That being said, I don't think most of us who participate in this discussion (and others like it) have access to data that would let us know why Propellerhead has yet to make the complete feature set of ReCy...

How is it possible for a musical instrument (or a sample library) to sound "dated"? The use of the word here doesn't comment on the quality or fidelity of the sounds produced, but speaks to the sounds belonging to another time period which has fallen out of favor today. I think it is more accurate t...

We've already reached the point where the technology we create is too advanced for us to practically use :lol: Stupid humans. What do you mean? You have got your wetware upgrade so you can plug in Cortana or Siri, (I would have mentioned Google's Assistant, but apparently she is too pretentious to ...

I have an iPad (and a Surface 2 Pro) also. Unfortunately, the iPad is tied up in a Retouch control surface experiment and the Surface Pro... well who can even read the labels on that teeny tiny screen! I tried double tapping the focus area, but nothing happens. Oh wait, thats an iPad and Android fea...

In my experience, it is incredibly difficult to make a user interface that works well in both a touchscreen environment and traditional environment. It's not enough to mimic the control surfaces. They have to actually improve fine motor control, provide ergonomic equivalence and have a similar (or e...

Know how I get a "warm" sound out of Reason (or any other DAW):
1. Run the signal through a $10,000 mixing desk
2. Get a really famous audio engineer to tell everybody that your music has a "warm sound"
3. Become emperor of the universe and make a royal decree that "all music made with Reason is WARM"

Why would Propellerhead "backport" an IOS version of Reason to work on a non-touchscreen device? Set aside the predictable "we loyal deserve perks forever" argument and consider these tidbits: there are millions of iPads in use. Apple knows which iPads have downloaded music apps and what percent of ...

I experienced this very phenomena with the bass guitar. On day one of a new purchase, I was enraptured by the brightness of the percussive sounds coming forth with each slap and pop. When I noticed the degrading of my appreciation of the sound. I tried the fix the problem by buying: new string, new ...

I will say it again: what's wrong with repurposing an older system to run as an Instrument Effects Processor? You could throw all of your guitar sims on that one laptop and run it as a line in to your audio interface. Just a thought. I know it's obvious, but this would require 1) running an entire ...

When Line 6 first announced they were providing access to a portion of their tone library, they also offered two ways to expand the selection of patches (which included guitar, bass, synth and vocal tones): If you used a Line 6 audio interface, you would have all of the licensed Pod Farm patches ava...

I know this may not be an option for everyone, but repurposing an older computer to run Pod Farm exclusively is no different than connecting an external instrument to Reason. Add to the mix a Toneport UX2 with Pod Farm 2 Platinum and the legacy lives on. Next time you upgrade your computer, consider...

I'm going to go out on a limb and tell you that your best option (if buying a new computer is out of the question) is to stick with the version of Reason that was the most stable on your setup. Sure, you don't get to use your shiny new toy, but you are free of the madness that comes with obsessing o...

After all the rhetoric, has anyone made an offer to buy? Is it not okay to change interests and invest your time and energy in a new endeavor? I used to love rollerblading. I used to love bowling. When I lost interest and moved onto something else, I sold off all the stuff I bought in support of my ...

Well ... I was going to upgrade. I always do. And I may at some point, but not at this time. I have spent so much money on audio software over the years and done so little with it. So now I am really trying to restrict my options. I have a copy of Studio One v2 and the previous full version of Melo...

I'm not sure that you will get a decent ROI custom building a PC that is intended for music production. Sure, you can carefully spec out your build and probably save a few bucks by DIY, but how much time will you end up spending evaluating system performance, hoping to harness every bit of processin...

I once had a customer complain bitterly about a pricing issue that didn't go her way. She didn't get what she wanted and still spent $200 that day. I guess the same thing is happening again with Reason 9: this version sucks, but here's my $129 anyway.

While I think it is reasonable to expect that you shouldn't have to upgrade you're computer every time you upgrade your software, I don't think it's reasonable to not expect a performance hit compared to the previous version. Adding new features sometime require more horsepower. The performance gain...

I guess it bares repeating: Propellerhead is a successful company that makes money helping people realize their musical dreams and aspirations in a simple, non threatening, collaborative environment. The software is designed in such a way that it accepts that some people who start with Reason will l...
