Re: New Pricing for Reason 12 - Upgrades now 199 from 129

[ You're lucky to be in such a position. With a collection of paid-for RE's, plus the bundle of Reason REs that came with R11Suite, you've got a ton of 'toys' that you can keep using as you join the exile to another DAW platform. For those without another DAW already, the prospect of moving on for ...

Re: New Pricing for Reason 12 - Upgrades now 199 from 129

With the sudden steep price increase, I'm officially done with investing my money in Reason. I spent a lot of money on REs and that's going to be it for me. With all the bugs in the new release, worsening performance with each release, lack of basic features found in most DAWs, implementing features...

Re: Doubled CPU cores, performance drops?

So, IMHO I think Reason needs to be rebuild from scratch with CPU usage in mind. Because, even with modern processors, you would want your DAW to use as little CPU as possible, so you can keep stacking FX, VST, VSTi, recordings, etc, as much as you prefer, right? As a matter of fact, I tried Reaper...

Re: Doubled CPU cores, performance drops?

Server CPUs are not well suited for real-time processing. More cores doesn't necessarily mean more better in all circumstances. Latency plays a really important role in CPU computational power, and I'm talking about CPU cache amount and fetches, the core cross-talk (more cores have to "talk" to each...

Re: Announcing Reason 11

this perfectly sums up why this version rubs a lot of us the wrong way. Reason is a DAW first. it’s a plugin second. this upgrade telegraphs that they’re more interested in expanding its use as a plugin than they are in building out a mature, full-featured DAW. that’s very concerning to many of us....

Do what I do, don't upgrade and wait for the next version. Spend your money on something else, like plugins or a nice pair of boots, o...

Re: new pc, AMD A8 7650 cpu

The A series is based on the very old and shitty Bulldozer AMD architecture with a low-mid ranged graphics integrated into it. TO be completely honest, it won't be good at anything else other than office work and watching videos. On the upside, you didn't get the crappiest one.

Re: Why isn't remote override "per instrument"?

If you want to code a controller's knobs and faders per device in Reason, you'll have to edit your controller's remote codec in the Reason folder. Remote override is for assigning a knob/fader to a specific control on a specific device and freezing it for the project file. The knob/fader will stay f...

Re: Possible bug? Reason doesn't use all cores, but load metter is red.

This has been talked about in another thread. Reason doesn't use hyper-threading, thus uses only half of the logical cores (the cores you see in Windows). I'm sure they're optimizing the VST wrapper itself to increase performance that'll soon to be released, but there is still the hyper-threading is...

More RAM is always good, although not entirely necessary depending on what you want to do. For Reason and everyday use, 16Gb should be fine even for a couple of years.

Re: To Turbo boost or not?

Unless it's unstable or you have a shitty CPU cooler, do it. I have boosted my i7-2600K since the beginning from 3.4GHz to 3.8GHz. It's been 6 years and haven't got problems with it. I even once overclocked it to 4.3GHz but heated up my room far too much for my tastes.

Re: What Audio IO should i upgrade to

The interface does affect DSP loads, in terms of properly coded drivers. If the interface has poor drivers, your DSP load will suck. If DSP is a concern, don't look for the hardware itself but a company that implements and support proper drivers.
