Just to jump in here and say I have experienced the same since going to Windows 11. The best way to describe it for me is that Reason seems extra sensitive to *anything* else happening on the system, like opening a new window, scrolling, opening/closing an application, etc. All while CPU was hardly ...

I think there are some good sounds in Reason but without audio previews for patches, a lot of them will sadly never be discovered. I have often thought about using dry spells to categorise patches into some favourites but I mean, that's a huge job. I'd LOVE to see a Live or Komplete style browser so...

Hey all, I updated to W11 a while back mostly so it would leave me tf alone about it but ever since then Reason is giving me very small pops and clicks at the same audio settings as before. Any ideas on where to look in 11 for maximising performance with R12 beyond just upping the buffer size?

Following up on this, I saw a great video on GAS Therapy that put me on to Koala. It's like 3 bucks, with perhaps around 10 worth of IAPs to unlock everything. And I'd say it mirrors and surpasses the KO II in most ways, except; - No patterns/scenes per group; just multiple global patterns for all p...

I do not trust that company at all. That thing looks like some junk you’d get for £29 on Temu. Yeah quality issues coming to the fore now. Poor packaging and tight fader caps causing damage on fitting are the main culprits. Plus I've heard of people's speaker dying (not that it's much use anyway). ...

I must admit I initially ignored this product as I assumed the price tag would be close to four figures! It's an interesting one and I'm not sure it has much competition at that price point. I wish the display was better. At least it's a starburst rather than a seven segment but in 2023 there are m...

I was very close to pulling the trigger. Went with K14 Collector's Edition in the end to absolutely max out my Maschine Mk3 soundsets and I _think_ I'm glad I went that route instead but damn if the FOMO isn't getting to me. My YouTube is absolutely full of this thing, and I absolutely love the look...

Okay just watched the MIDI tools video and I'm sold. Pre-ordered. Wouldn't normally do that for a DAW (or for anything in fact) but this looks like another case for just using RRP in Live without feeling like I'm missing out on lots of Player functionality. If you're regular Live user, why wouldn't...

It's been a long time since I used Ableton Live. Not taking the session view into account, how does Live's sequencer compare to Reason's? It's swings and roundabouts. Reason's automation is better/clip based. Live has some useful MIDI features like time stretching note groups, note folding and scal...

This looks fantastic. Really excited for the browser and the MIDI transformations look dope. Just when I was thinking I should try and make Cubase 13 my home. Maybe it can be my holiday home lol

I’m gonna have a crack at making this my main DAW. I’ve always thought the MIDI editor was great. I’m glad they’ve revamped the mixer aesthetic because I haven’t liked it for several versions now. I know the workflow is perhaps a bit ‘conventional’ but ya know, I just wanna record some audio, and ed...

Hey all! Has anyone had any luck controlling Analog Lab from within Reason, while Reason is configured as the master/controller keyboard? The transport/daw controls seem to take precedent over the plugin, even if I switch the preset on the keyboard to Analog Lab instead of DAW. Is it not possible?

I mean there's certainly a reason that I go to Reason when I could just as easily open up Live or Cubase. It *is* more inviting, to me. It's more fun. It feels like something I've earned after a long day; it doesn't feel like more work. Of course I think they could still take some inspiration from o...

I plugged my guitar in to the same channel, it sounds fine. Might be my mic.

Yeah always best to go back to basics and go through process of elimination in these cases. What kind of mic is it? Does it require phantom power?

Do you hear audio if you monitor through an audio track with no effects on it? Likewise, can you record dry signal from a mic/instrument and see the waveform in the clip without Neptune or any other insert active?

If you can do that, Neptune *will* work. If not then something else is up.

What you're talking about is pitch envelopes for audio, and Reason can't do this. I very much wish it could! I think you could maybe put Neptune on it and just automate pitch on that (making sure to disable key tracking and scale correction). You could also drag the sample into Mimic and then make s...

Hey! So this was actually started in Live, just on my bed with my laptop. But the sequencer was doing my head in so I stemmed it out and replaced some things/finished it in Reason proper (all the synths were RRP anyway so it was like using Reason with extra steps lol) https://paulortiz.bandcamp.com...

i’m gonna start limiting myself to a sound bank collection or a few refills for every track like choose 3 refills or two instruments and a few effects and make a track from that is this beneficial ? who does this ? am i mad ? thanksn I do this sometimes. I like that it's possible in R12 now to filt...

More presets than tweaking these days. My time to write is limited, and deadlines are often tight. Time spent making a sound from scratch is time NOT spent writing music (with the exception being sound design cues). One thing that I need to get into the habit of doing is using my down-time, or more ...

Yeah this has been a FR of mine for ages. Notes should preview when selecting and also nudging up and down with arrows. Currently they don’t and it makes keyboard editing almost useless for me. Here’s hoping!

I'm always ping-pong'ing between Reason and Live, as Live has many things I'm waiting for. But they're not even that big, IMO. If Reason had the following; - Folder tracks - The ability to hear notes in the editor when nudging with arrows - Step input integrated into the sequencer - Re-pitch time st...

I wonder if there's any hope of the 'bug' being fixed where the envelope runs continuously when the transport is stopped and the mode is set to note or gate trigger? It's not a huge thing but...it'd be nice haha. I'd pay for it lol

Hey all! Really pushed my system a lot harder/further than before with this one. Tonnes of orchestration, amp sims, sound design, all sorts. R12 handled it very nicely :) https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/chimpspanner/until-the-end?fbclid=IwAR1H_BPpVYZ9ffDQXGPKIAsEZGdOCFs-qGZUejgBe-UM_4M7trsWnUweO4o...
