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

Bloody VC.... everything they touch turns to shite eventually, I've seen so many businesses ground into the dust by crazy short-term knee-jerk VC idiocy. I am not predicting the end of RS (ultimately their product rocks, when it's working properly, and the people who make it seem to care passionate...

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

What will be next? Well, obviously the number of perpetual licence holders falls away because of the price hike and then, one day in the future, someone announces that "perps" represent less than 5% of the user base so they drop that licencing option. Other possible futures are available. :thumbup:...

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

I would also like to add: I am not upset b/c I am losing money. I upgraded from 10 to 12 within the grace period via JRR. 10 to 12 for 99 USD was reasonably good value if they deliver what they have now promised (M1 support + VST3), and if they do those two things right. Not half-assed. Some M1 impl...

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

So... just speculating, let's say I upgrade to Reason 12 (I'm currently on R10), and the performance for me sucks (as happens to many others here), can I "downgrade" to Reason 10 later ? Or when upgrade I "lost" the old license? I'm upgrading since R6 but never in my mind cross the idea to "downgra...

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

From what I read here and on Facebook, I would say they are quite likely misjudging people's willingness to pay more. As one poster wrote above, a higher price will not make them more profitable. It depends on the elasticity.

Maybe? Maybe it is also part of a plan to give away free midi keyboards with Reason integration in the future.

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

The HD logos are obviously the smallest part, but IMO a very funny one. I have already fixed some of them myself, by going into the reason folder and replacing them.

Maybe this is also in prep to include Reason in the rewards section? Which if included there, that would be great. If they can fix the rewards section by removing the point cap per purchase, and include Reason upgrades, that would drive it to be more successful IMO. And if after fixing the rewards ...

Haha, Reason 12 upgrade for 199 hahaha I love those pixelated HD browser logos, nice retro style for 2021. Of course, they have promised to fix everything in the future and to give us Apple M1 support, VST3, and an even better browser. But the payment has to be made now. And they are even looking in...

Re: Industrializer RE from Ekssperimental Sounds

Very nice device. It looks beautiful, and I really like the Demos.

Unfortunately, the loose panel on the backside makes me very nervous. Could you maybe add a version where that little piece of metal is gone / attached firmly? :? :? :?

Re: I have done the unthinkable: I bought Ableton Live Lite

Let's see how far I will get with the 16 tracks.

It seems quite likely right now that I will get the Reason 12 update, maybe one or two more players on sale, and then I will call probably it quits for now. Of course, I might buy back in at Reason 14 or 15, you never know ;-)

Lite has 8 tracks (+ 2 send returns + one master track) Intro has 16 tracks (+ 2 send returns + one master track) Ouch, even 16 sounds very limited to me. Can't imagine having only 8 tracks 😬 Yeah, 8 is definitely very little, just enough to get you hooked :D I think 16 is sufficient for me at this...

So redrum could use all the available tracks in lite? No idea how many tracks does lite have available. If it has 10 tracks, then yes, you can have all the tracks available in lite, it would be one midi tracks and 9 audio tracks... Lite has 8 tracks (+ 2 send returns + one master track) Intro has 1...

Re: I have done the unthinkable: I bought Ableton Live Lite

I started to test using Live 10 Intro with RRP and it's becoming my favourite. I can build Instrument Rack devices with several RRP instances and switch between them with one knob or using Clip automation. With Intro I can only have 8 Clips per track pre mapped to select each instance of RRP loaded...

Re: Some things have changed with Reason+. A handy reference.

Your first point is unsubstantiated as until Reason Studios officially offers a perpetual license for the next major upgrade we won't actually know. They have said that they will offer them but we will have to wait until release to see what that will entails. I really don't think you're second poin...

Better than what may I ask? If you mean better than Reason stand-alone then I'm not too surprised. Personally I don't think Live is better than Reason, but the combination of Live plus Reason is a killer combo, and I've been venting that for over 10 years now. Yes, better than Reason stand-alone.

Some things have changed with Reason+. A handy reference.

For those evaluating the recent changes, here are a few of the things that are now different. Many retailers still have some Reason Suite 11 licenses available, but Reason Studios consider it discontinued. Once Suite is no longer available at retailers either, this option to get most RS rack extens...
