a) the unfortunate truth is midi controllers are not built as well as certain workstations. I've had a million of them, they all have flaws. I'm sure you understand this, but felt the need to say.   Absolutely, most of these things are just the small things that make the difference between "fantast...

It finally made sense to me when I realized you were using a single synth for several tracks. Yeah there's not much of a choice then.

Search speeds will probably be affected by disk read speeds more than anything. What kind of drive do you have (SSD or mechanical), and what's the RPM of the drive if it's mechanical?

I need to check how fast my search is, I haven't thought about it.

Just what I needed, thanks!

I don't really understand this "revert" people are talking about. I've always just used cancel or undo (depending on how I was doing the browsing) if I wanted to go back to the (edited) patch I was using before browsing. Never really been a problem. Sure, this wasn't a problem on pre-8.0, but as of...

Oh yeah, I wanted to add something more about software as a service. It's important to realize that SaaS is more than just a different way of charging for the same thing. SaaS is very much a response to how we consume software nowadays and what we as consumers expect, which is continuous updates an...

I'm using my Novation Bass Station II through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 with Reason 8; my first, hopefully eventually of several, hardware synth. Dead easy to use with Reason 8. Connect the audio out to a line input that you hopefully have on your audio interface. Create an audio track. It might auto...

I find the question kind of irrelevant. Unless your laptop is very crappy, how is there a difference? Outside of video cards I don't think the average modern laptop is specced much differently to the average modern desktop. Laptops aren't inherently less powerful. If money isn't an issue, you can g...

I keep all my ReFills on an external USB drive and set up a favourite link in the browser. The only time it is an issue is if you haven't browsed it for quite some time and the drive has gone to sleep, but the only effect is that it takes a few seconds to open the first directory when you want to br...

But seriously though... every major software house is thinking about SaaS (software as a service AKA monthly fees) because it makes business sense...  so while we don't have any concrete evidence that Reason is going that way yet, i think it's valid to ask what if it happened!  Software as a servic...

Speaking of ReBirth in general, I know there's the ReBirth Input Machine rack device to use ReBirth as a ReWire slave to Reason, but it would be so cool if they ported ReBirth to an actual rack extension.

I was going to sign up eventually, but seeing this thread is what made me get my thumb out and do it. I bought a Panorama P4 a couple of weeks ago and I love it. Love, love, love it, I can't imagine using any other controller (except the other Panorama versions) and I recommend every Reason user I k...
