Re: Reason Studios shares their roadmap

I did, 10 times (though it's not a bug, they hate me anyway). 10 times and they never even bothered replying.
Transparency, they say. "We're listening to you", they say.

Re: Will you upgrade @199 for future releases

+1 on @Noise's post. $129 for an incomplete and buggy version is already utterly disrespectful, but asking $70 more for the future is simply considering users as cash cows.

Re: Reason Studios shares their roadmap

I can't. They keep sending me invites for beta versions, but I can't access the beta section since version 11, and nobody in the company is able to reply to my questions.
If anyone from Reason Studios is reading this and wants to show some transparency...

Re: Rewards update! 125 points voucher available now

@MrFigg : Honestly, I don't know who in this company is genuinely listening to users. I'm getting slightly upset with how this company works. Either they decide without telling anything and we're never heard, or they suddenly talk and announce a roadmap without clearly explaining who and where to ta...

Re: Reason Studios shares their roadmap

Funny (not) how, following their brand new "transparency" (or lack thereof), they mysteriously forgot to announce the $199 upgrade when they published the roadmap. They could have had the decency to talk frankly and announce everything in the same post, but they preferred to tell their "We're listen...

Re: For Niklas: List of Sequencer improvements

I've been watching videos showing Mimic, and it actually doesn't have loop options (unless they're not shown in videos and I missed something).

Re: For Niklas: List of Sequencer improvements

The Sequencer has M & S, but it doesn't function the same way, and is not talking to the desk. The Mute and Solo buttons in the Sequencer pane also allow you to mute specific lanes in one SSL channel, and also the effect lanes (that have an automation lane in the sequencer but no SSL channel). But ...

Re: For Niklas: List of Sequencer improvements

Indeed ! And maybe "odd or even notes" as well.
Maybe they should convert that poor old Tools window (that has never been updated since it exists...) to a floating tool window that would sit right besides the standard pop-up menu.
They should also revamp that Tools window's UI, while they're at it.
