Re: Do you wish Reason had a fully-fledged “Dark Mode”?

Think that’s why I said dark mode and not just the black theme. I like the coherency of the default white theme but always used to find it a little heavy on the eyes when working late at night or for long periods. Would love them to either finish the black/blue themes to cover everything or have an ...

Do you wish Reason had a fully-fledged “Dark Mode”?

I know we have the options of Black, Blue and the Default themes in Reason, but does anyone else wish they further developed these and made them fully coherent across all devices and the mixer especially? Maybe Reason 11 might give us more options that are easier on the eyes but can definitely see w...

Re: I wish Props would make a new Mixer

Personally I’d love for Props to add another main mixer allowing users to switch between the SSL style one and others such as a Neve style one to give us more options when it comes to mixing. Could also give Mixbus a run for its money :)

Re: Automatic Screenshots for VST plugins?

Yeh it would be good to give the user the option and have it in the preferences. Maybe also in the plugin insert itself have the option to “replace” the screenshot with a click just in case you wanted to replace the default screenshot with an updated one.

Re: Automatic Screenshots for VST plugins?

Good point. I’ve managed to find the screenshots folder and probably will make like easier backing them up. Just wish Reason had a way of automatically taking them as soon as it detected new plugins added.

Automatic Screenshots for VST plugins?

Not too sure if there’s a way to do this but does anyone wish that Reason had a way of automatically taking screenshots for the VST plugins in the browser?

Re: Should Propellerheads turn Reason into a AU/VST and focus solely on content rather than being a DAW?

Becoming VST is inevitable future of Reason. I "prophetized" that couple of years ago, having been ridiculed. Reason as a DAW is in a blind corner. They probably cannot vectorize the rack, redesign the workflow into the modern one, capable of 4K, without falling into serious coding issues. Implemen...

Should Propellerheads turn Reason into a AU/VST and focus solely on content rather than being a DAW?

Did have a nice long post but it’s decided to delete itself [emoji52] Long story short, I personally feel Reason is in a “Frankenstein’s monster” state at the moment. As much as I love its unique and inspiring approach to making music, the modern devices such as Europa and the Players just look so o...

Re: Should Propellerheads turn Reason into a AU/VST and focus solely on content rather than being a DAW?

Don’t get me wrong, a few versions ago I was really seeing myself switching to a dedicated Reason setup where I had hoped that it would grow to become the one tool I used. I’m just a little disgruntled that the progress in making improvements since Version 6 has been very slow. That said I still rea...

Should Propellerheads turn Reason into a AU/VST and focus solely on content rather than being a DAW?

I know I’m probably going to get a bit of flack for asking this one, but do you think Propellerheads should ditch having Reason as its own DAW and focus solely on content and have Reason be a dedicated Instrument and FX AU/VST plugin to be used inside other DAWs? I’ve been a long time Reason user bu...

Wow that is really very good of them. I’m just a tiny bit jealous. Although I did upgrade from Reason Limited v3 to Reason 6 for a relatively discounted price a good few years ago :)

Ah yeh that is a bit annoying if you only upgraded just a few days ago. Hopefully Props will give you some grace and maybe refund some money

Reason 10 upgrade to full version for only $99

Had an email this morning and thought this was a pretty amazing deal for those that might be thinking of upgrading. Owners of Reason Essentials/Adapted can get an upgrade to the FULL Reason 10 for only $99 from JRR Shop! (a saving $230 I believe?) https://www.jrrshop.com/propellerhead?dir=desc&order...

Re: Why Reason?

As others have said, I too am someone that’s been guilty of dabbling with just about every daw over the past 10-15 years, the only two I’ve stuck with are Logic Pro and Reason. Reason is easily the most inspiring and creative daw out there and Logic fills the gaps for the more slightly advanced feat...

Re: [speculation] What’s Next?

Depends if you mean 10.1 or v11? Either way hopefully better optimisation for VST plug-ins and some deeper audio and midi editing tools and enhancements

How do you guys feel about Reason getting rewritten on 11?

Maybe I’m too old fashioned but personally I wouldn’t want to see Propellerheads wasting their time and resources into creating more mobile and tablet apps. Reminds me of a few years ago when it felt like they were investing too much time and effort into Discover/Alihoopa, nothing wrong with it, jus...

Re: How do you guys feel about Reason getting rewritten on 11?

In the Propellerheads defence, even Apple with Logic Pro still haven’t done anything with the very dated visuals of certain devices such as the EXS24, Ultrabeat, and the old synth instruments from a long long long time ago. They’re still very clunky and haven’t had any feature refinements to make th...

Re: How do you guys feel about Reason getting rewritten on 11?

Very curious to see what v10.1 might have in store. I’m sure optimisation must be one of the main priorities but I guess we’ll have to wait and see what Props have in store :)

Re: How do you guys feel about Reason getting rewritten on 11?

Don’t think Reason needs a whole re-write, better optimisation with VSTs and upgrades to the graphics and devices (sooner or later) are a must though.

Re: Reason 1.0 vs 10.0 - visual comparison

Haha don’t get me wrong, I do think Propellerheads always introduce great features with every point update (hence why I tend to cave in and buy the update even after telling myself I’ll wait). I just find it a little strange that they introduced the different themes but didn’t fully develop them lat...
