Re: All RS Rack Extensions are now in the Rewards Shop

The worst thing is I lost my 50EUR voucher as It expired after activation. I just forgot about activating it due to every day chores and it’s gone. It should not be this way.

Re: Why R12 has got me a little worried ...

Suite was just bad naming. It works for Ableton as there is Standard version with almost no instruments or M4L and Suite gives you those add ons. With Reason, the "Standard" version was already loaded with almost every instrument you need. Reason was never just empty, bare bones sequencer with Audio...

Re: Reason 12 Graphic's Issues.

In regards to Mix/Audio Channel devices width I do not like current design. It's half baked, lazy, last resort solution and looks like someone did this in a hurry. I'm not sure why it needs to be wider. What would be an issue with covering Combinator left and right bezel with a bezel of Mix/Audio Ch...

Re: Reason 12 has arrived

I know that it is great to load multiple Combinators to Mix Channel, but they f**cked up big with design of rack and removal of knobs and buttons of Insert section from Mixer view. Current design is not consistent.

Re: Reason 12 has arrived

Combi 2 is great. I do not care about Mimic or HD graphics. I wanted advanced Combi so badly in the past, but now that I have it, I realised I will make even less music. Drowning in designing/patching instead and I'm not sure if I want to. I think I will use my 333 with R+ to play a little and stick...

Re: Ryan misled over Reason 12 HD imo

If you run Authorizer, do you see your RE's names listed in format "rack extension name (hi-res)"? If not then you need to perform Sync All.

Re: reason 12 early access

An interesting observation I've made here is that a few of you guys are clearly quite well off. A few posts back there was chatter of buying houses and purchasing cars for your kids, all the while you've still got enough money for a boatload of studio gear. You are clearly in a completely different...

Re: tools or toys?

They just need to focus on integration. There’s plenty of tools and toys. Everything is just being upgraded atm tools and toys so it’s not that they’re lacking. I want hardware controllers to control Reason, not 3rd party mapping. Better structural layout of commands and use of space. Setting optio...

Re: tools or toys?

Actually, I think those two companies do have a problem with their latest releases. Neither Bitwig 4 nor Live 11 have set the world alight, precisely because they have not managed to introduce a BIG new thing. Some of the reviews have been struggling to find much to talk about and there is not much...

Re: tools or toys?

I agree too but the problem is marketing or, to be more precise, the difficulties of marketing a new release where the new stuff is all just updates of existing stuff. You could update every single stock device in Reason and it would be harder to market than a single new device, even if that new de...

Re: tools or toys?

I've recently wondered where all these new instruments leads, especially as there can only be so many instruments needed - at some point they will likely have to start going back through the older ideas to produce new devices, like a new ReDrum (sound module and sequencer in one) etc. But to what e...

Re: Mimic: New Creative Sampler

Can load Rex slices, but not whole Rex files. Good enough for me. Better, in fact. 🤷‍♂️ Do you mean it can load slices IF you export them as .wav files?

Re: What's Happened To the ReGroove Mixer?

One thing that bothers me regardless of old vs. new design is Global Shuffle amount knob.
This should be visible on transport bar and not force user to open whole ReGroove Mixer.

Re: What's Happened To the ReGroove Mixer?

I love the new look of ReGroove Mixer. Flat design goes well with transport design as it is technically a tool and not Rack device.

I would also love to see main mixer to get some similiar Dark mode treatment.

If i stick with stock instruments / effects its runs smoother.
I would investigate in this direction. It could be one of VST plug-ins that is causing your issues.

Aha. Thank you so much, lowtom! I never would've thought that switching 'show cables' on/off would change accessibility to those controls. Also, what do you mean when you say 'custom screen area'?

You can't remote override in most RE's custom screen area which is what those virtual front panel cables are. You need to be in main (non cable) view in Complex-1.
