must defend my DAW's honor and fight the critics!

I wish the people criticizing my DAW would go away. I want my mamma. I'm scared.

A dumb customer would be somebody who buys a product that explicitly says it doesn't do what he wants and then goes about complaining that it should I guess.. Someone criticized my DAW, and that make me sad, scared, confused, and angry. To me, my DAW isn't just a piece of software. It's like a wife...

have you considered that Reason might not be the DAW for you? back at you you know how much of a crap I give if some weird fanatic is distressed by the idea of Propellerhead improving its product? I understand, you're a fanatic and you feel your job is to defend your beloved DAW's flaws and rail ag...

if he doesn't, you don't have to keep using them. lol, thats just like saying "if it doesn't work in Reason you don't have to keep using it" xD I'll give Propellerhead credit where it's due: No Reason user ever had a convolution-reverb crash on in him from 2005 - 2014, a period when VST users may h...

Roger that. I was just asking because I don't have any recent experience with that. When plugin crashed in the Reaper you can just delete process with frozen plugin. If with Cubase most likely you doing to save project in Reason and delete both processes of Cubase and Reason. I'll point out there a...

Myself, I've been using plugins since DAY ONE back when Pro Tools first introduced the concept, and I have NEVER purchased or used a single VST in all those years. OTOH, I've used (and spent THOUSANDS of dollars on) TDM, RTAS, AAX, AU, and RE plugins through all this time, so I'm not one that belie...

You can't stay in business by denying customers what they want. You'd need a Berlin Wall and a Stasi to deal with the customers who try to buy the VST's they want. Propellerhead doesn't have a Berlin Wall or a Stasi to enforce their will, so their supposed business plan of stopping customers from bu...

... Propellerhead would have to go to all the software DAWs (or at least the major ones, Logic, Ableton Live, etc.) and say "We want your DAW to have the option to be a ReWire slave. Oh, and btw you'll have to work with us on getting our software code to work with your DAW to make it happen." "None...

Reaper's Justin (CEO) once made an often-quoted statement that Reaper would never support VST3. He worded it more strongly than Propellerheads ever did (Propellerheads has said VST "sucks" but they've never said they won't support it in the future). And now Reaper supports VST3. Does Justin/Cockos ...

In order for Reason to be a ReWire Master... Reaper already works fine as a ReWire slave (in Cubase). ...

Nothing comparable to RE's that I know of. Propellerhead is the only company I know of banking on the hope of finding customers willing to go without VST's and wait until the year 2015 for convolution reverb.

You said earlier that you don't buy RE's (and have an older version of Reason). Clearly using VST's and whatever VST host you have is your preferred environment to work in. There's no shame in that - these are just tools we use to write music. Would Reason doing either ReWire Master or supporting V...

If I had the choice of having a long desired VST ported to Reason as a Rack Extension, or Reason supporting ReWire Master so I could just use it now in Reason... why would I ever spend money on a Rack Extension again (aside for those rare RE's that have no VST counterpart)? because RE technology is...

There is still no support in Reason ReWire master even after 15 years. how do you think the political motives in this or a lack of available resources? This and the lack of integrated VST support is why I'm unlikely to put more money into Reason. I haven't upgraded to Reason 8, and I don't buy RE's...

In case you haven't stumbled upon that yet, you can change routing order, by shift+ dragging a device. I hadn't known that. ... You can even experiment with routing the output of the effects to their own mixer channels instead of into the returns on the master section. You can sidechain reverb and ...

I want to double-check here, but I get the idea the answer is "not possible". ReWire-slaving Reason to Reaper, is there any to send audio from Reaper to Reason, say using virtual audio cables or audio-interface trickery? As far as I have found, the answer is "not possible" because Reason doesn't inp...

ie you can have many travks routed to the one fx in the master inserts by using the dials for each channel on the ssl mixer. not on my system on my system, that's how Send FX work but it's not how Insert FX work we're both happy, so it doesn't matter that our systems are behaving differently I mist...

Inserts are different from using the Rack View to place a FX device in that the insert point can be moved. You can have the insert be pre EQ/Dynamics, post EQ/Dynamics, or pre EQ, Post dynamics etc. Sometimes one routing order sounds better than another, and in that light it can be helpful to audit...

I appreciate your help. I did some experiments based on what you said, and I think I understand things now. But, unless I'm confused, the Insert FX Section is not shared between different mixer tracks, so I believe you may be mistaken about that. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but maybe this can help ...

Hi, When I want an insert FX for an instrument, I have been going to the Rack and adding it there. This works the same way as insert effects-plugins work in Reaper, so it's easy for me, since I know Reaper better than Reason. Today I was working in the Reason Mixer, and I looked at the Insert FX Sec...

I'm using two for "true stereo", and of course because it sounded better! I should check and see if in the end it's really all that different…   ;) I tried doing it with one in place of the two, and my results sounded inferior, though that could have been my fault trying to implement it. I don't kn...
