As others have written before... Catalina is a significant upgrade from Mojave for a number of reasons and can break things... My mileage with upgrading has been pretty good. I already migrated to all 64 bit only software before so I was prepared for that. My Reason installation is 11 Suite edition....

Thanks for all replies!

In future I guess I just need to double, triple check things before updating them.

In fact, as I barely travel with the computer anymore I think I might not authorize it at all and just use an ignition key.

I've managed to mark the machine as lost by nuking everything Propellerhead related so I am back up and running again... down one life ;) I'm sure they're not out to spite me - Props seem a reasonable bunch. It just irks me that I could potentially lose something I love and have spent a lot of money...

Re-installing Codemeter has done nothing to help unfortunately... the machine is stuck in an infinite loop attempting to authorize.

Mr. Figg. This would be the third time I think. If it was the first time I’d probably go with your suggestion. The first two times were a while ago and totally my fault. I’m concerned it might not work again in the future... then I lose the right to authenticate my machine due to no fault of mine? I...

I am currently going back and forth with Propellerhead support on this. Their conjecture is my computer did not de-authorize properly and that I need to report it as “lost” to be able to re-authorize it correctly. I’m wondering if anyone has any help or suggestions… Here’s what’s happened: Short ver...

There are a number of reasons why developing for Android is less desirable than iOS. 1. Vast number of different device specifications and multiple stores make support more problematic. 2. Historically Inferior audio libraries. 3. Despite being more numerous, Android users tend to spend less money o...

Got it thanks!

Hi Patrick,

Your stuff is always great so I paid through PayPal on my phone (I was on the the train at the time).

After purchasing, I was redirected to a Drop ox download page but I couldn’t download onto the phone.

How do I get the Downloads now I am back at my computer please?

Thanks!

I can add to the general chorus of praise. VST Plugins that would barely function before under even a moderate load are now functioning perfectly well with pretty much anything I can throw at them. Clearly the refactoring of the audio rendering system to increase performance has been a success. Than...

I’ve been working in professional software development for 30 years and managing large teams for the last 20. Mostly video games but some applications too. Compatability testing is always a pain when you have to check against a large number of devices. It’s usually very quick to get something that m...

Thank you Propellerhead for the generous discount on such a useful RE. Much appreciated.

Hurricane,

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the tips. I did not know you could do that.

Still getting the plugin crashing if I delete / reinstall it from the rack but I can work around that for now.

EnochLight, yes - very irritating!

Best,

Sarge

Hey Hurricane, Thanks for persisting! I've figured out how to get the discount... It helps if I actually read the page properly ;) KV Element also seems to be less processor intensive than the Blue Cat device. I can't even run the Jupiter 8 VST through the Blue Cat device but I can run it and play i...

I gave Elements a try... It crashed Reason more times in 30 minutes than I think it's crashed in the last 20 years combined. It's also, to me at least, pretty unintuitive. I downloaded a demo of "Blue Cat's Patchwork" which seems to be a similar product. So far, this has yet to crash and is a lot mo...

Hurricane: Thank you - that's cool - I shall check that out! Where did you see it for $26? Right now its half price at $74.95.

I got a subscription to Roland Cloud for Christmas. Unfortunately, Roland Cloud does not work with Reason, due to Reason not supporting VST3 or AU formats (should have read the Roland FAQ before asking for it ;) ) I hope Propellerhead implements VST3 or AU support in Reason as part of their current ...

Thanks Bitley... Glad to see Props are on it!

I realized I hadn't checked any Microsoft browsers... Internet Explorer and Edge don't work either.

Hey Bitley, I am having the same issue... I've never had this issue before! It's not working on my Mac (latest Mojave version) using Safari or Chrome. Running a VM (Parallels, Windows 10) and using Chrome it is also not working. Running a VM (Parallels, Ubuntu) using Firefox is not working. Running ...

Thanks Patrik! Great stuff as always!

Dear Hydlide, I don't know you read this forum or not but in case you do, I would like to say "thank-you" to for all the free stuff I've received off you over the years. It must have been many thousands of hours of work to produce all that material. I really appreciate it. I've learned a lot from wa...

Does anyone know if you don't cash in a voucher if you lose the points... I am new to this whole rewards thing and didn't read the fine print before creating a voucher and was expecting to buy whatever I wanted with it... there is nothing I want in the rewards store! Oops!

Hi Doug,

I have received your email and will go through it. Thank-you.

Hello - I hope someone might be able to help me as this is driving me nuts ;) I have Reason 10.1 running on MacBook Pro. I have an iPad Pro connected to the Mac through and iConnectMIDI4 interface. This setup has worked flawlessly for me for the past few years. All my iPad apps work properly and sen...
