Guitar Rig 5 not appearing in Reason

I own a copy of GR5, it works as normal on my PC. However, when I run it on my M2 Macbook Air, it doesn't show up at all. I've tried everything - removed and re-added the VST locations, reinstalled it. Anyone seen this before? Or with similar VST extensions in MacOS?

Macbook Pro M1 fan noise?

Hi, I've tried out Reason 12 on my wife's Macbook Air M1 - sounds great, no noise (because it has no fan). But I'm considering buying the MacBook Pro M1 for the better performance level. But the MBP M1 does have a fan, though I believe it's far better and quieter than older MBPs. Anyone here have an...

Re: Increased fan noise with Reason 12?

I think it's more CPU for me.

My task manager is showing:
CPU: around 40-50%
GPU: around 10-20%

The fan noise tends to vary a lot. Goes quite high for a few minutes after starting Reason. But can go down a bit sometimes as well.

Re: Increased fan noise with Reason 12?

Yeah, I was thinking the GPU fan might be kicking in. But, to be honest, it shouldn't be that heavy on graphics, as it's really just (mostly) high def static images that are being rendered (as opposed to what it would be rendering in a game). I wouldn't rule that out as a distinct possibility. Alth...

If you’re one of the unlucky ones with heavier cpu load then that would explain higher fan noise.
Actually, I don't think I am - the CPU meter is staying fairly low. That said, it might have been just as bad in R11, but I can't compare it.

Increased fan noise with Reason 12?

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has seen an increase in the level of fan noise on their machines with R12? I have a decent laptop - Lenovo Legion 5, 16GB Ram, nvidia RTX GeForce 2060 graphics card. The problem is that it may have been the same on R11, but I didn't pay much attention. I tried to re-inst...

Re: Favorite REs released in 2020?

Lots of recommendations for Sequences, but I never got it as I assumed it was more or less the same as Prop's Polystep Sequencer. I've been thinking about buying it for a long time, but what does it give you that Polystep Sequencer doesn't? (I trialed it a long time ago, but never really gave it a p...

Re: Reason update 11.3.7 & Reason+ livestream Wednesday

Ok, so hopefully some new users might jump on to Reason bandwagon. But for those who bought 11 suite, not much to hurray over. But will see what that app may bring, if only soundpacks or something other. Sounds are everywhere nowadays, so not enough for me to jump in. But who knows next time around...

I had never heard of him until today, but I'm intrigued. Looks like he has a substantial back catalogue, and a pretty decent number of listeners. Posting here because he's a Reason user, " by a good distance". (I love the Headphone Commute blog btw, highly recommend it). In the Studio interview: htt...

Nostromo or Torsion?

Hi, I have some Reason Studios Rewards to use up, and I want to buy either Torsion or Nostromo (by Lectric Panda). Can't decide which - and I'm demoing both at the moment. I think Grain probably does most of what Torsion can do, whereas Nostromo can produce some great sounds. But I also think Torsio...

Re: Do u use “blocks” in Reason?

yeah, this would be awesome. at least a couple of times in every song I wish I could just pull one of the tracks forward, instead of having to do all of them, and then removing the ones I don’t need to edit. Maybe i don't get the problem, but what's wrong about “Convert Block Automation to Song Cli...

Re: Do u use “blocks” in Reason?

I think Blocks are great. I use them in about 50% of my tunes, but I really wish there was an "Extract to Lane" function.
So that when you've organised a tune around blocks, you could pull all the parts out (excluding muted parts) into their own lane.

Recommend a desk slider...?

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone uses a desk slider, thinking of buying one for my Impact LX49 keyboard. Something like this:

It's a purchase from me.

You can get some really interesting results when you combine the ScaleMatrix + Lag Range + Dual Arpeggio.
