Re: Announcing Reason 13

Re: Announcing Reason 13

I will say even as a long time user (like 2 onwards) there are some things that I don't use as much as I should, mostly due to them currently being in the F8 toolbox or dotted around in menus. So I'm really looking forward to those being brought into the new editor pane. Also, superficial as it migh...

Re: Announcing Reason 13

I'm very excited for all the future updates now that all the VST3/AppleSilicon bullshit is behind us :mrgreen: I've just moved (back) to Mac and pleased that everything I use is Silicon now!

Re: Announcing Reason 13

I sometimes use Live and I never use the scale folding. Not saying that doesn't make it useful but I generally don't like being locked into a scale or mode. I think I'd always choose to have all the notes there and just...use the ones that work. Or be able to go in and out of scale/mode as the song ...

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)

I think that adding a feature to Reason like Ableton Lives Clips would be a mistake. Ableton already does clips and there's a JammeR Loops Trigger Module that can do scene's and clips with Rex files that Reason already has available for purchase on the Rack Extension store. Well, there are two thin...

Re: Apple M2 Studio stupidly powerful, M3 will be ridiculous

I think I mentioned this in another post but I'm JUST on the verge of pulling the trigger on a 16" M3 Max 64GB 8TB. It's scary because it's a huge outlay (for me) *but* I am missing a lot of things about music making on Mac. Being able to get the same latency and performance on a train with a mini k...

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)

Ok I think we should take this to hardware. Reason runs at a live buffer at all times, I would be using the Focusrite USB at no lower than 128 personally for a good balance. latencymon is easy, it will tell you if it fails, and if it does, then you can take a screenshot for me., I think move it to ...

What are your specs just out of interest? I have an i7 11700 w 64GB DDR4 and an RTX3070. On Windows 10 I could stream to Twitch, have browsers open and Reason at 64 samples no problem. Now, I get clicks and pops with just Reason open and like 2-3 tracks of audio. Really bumming me out. All my other...

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)

I chose Ableton Live instead. I realize it doesn't have lifetime free upgrades (which is not unique to FL Studio, BTW), but it does tend to be one of the most - if not THE MOST - popular DAW on the market. And Push 3 does look very tempting. But I digress... isnt it weird how ableton has barely mor...

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)

I am incredibly impressed how well Reason is performing across high core counts and with vst plugins. Incredibly impressed. It is bang in line with Cubendo 13. That was always one of my issues, so now that that's fixed, my needs are a bit simple. All I really want is ARA2 compatibility for Melodyne...

Should add that Live 12 just added latency correction in recording. Haven’t managed to try it yet myself despite owning a license but just haven’t had time.

Re: Bouncing mixer channels with fx

FX returns are not printed into each bounced channel. This is the case in most DAWs (Live being the exception, as it will include every tracks FX return into each stem individually). Your best bet would be to just solo each track in turn and export manually. You can speed this up a bit by creating b...

Re: Looks like Reason Studios have redesigned their site...

Just had a look at the site on my desktop, overall I like it. I get that it's a more 'youthful' approach to site design but it looks vibrant. I'd agree the massive video that auto plays is maybe a bit visually over-stimulating? Either ease into it or have something a bit more chill. But beyond that ...
