Re: Where is Reason going ?

The one question no one seems to ask nor really address is "what happens once I stop paying monthly as a long term user?" Am I really just relegated to Reason 11 after that? The answer might be simple to some. But it seems once you're in on the monthly train, there's no coming off of it. You guys d...

Re: Where is Reason going ?

Personally, I'm a bit baffled by all the disdain and worry about the future direction of Reason. I bought into the Reason 5 + Record 1.5 Duo about 10 years ago, because it had all that I needed to make music. I have seen everything that has been added since then like a bonus. If I hadn't thought th...

Use Your Tongue (February 2021 Album) (Downtempo Acid)

I just compiled the 14 songs I've written last month to an album, plus one bonus track of the song I submitted to the Tribute RE contest. :)


Enjoy. :)

I still want the shop link to return to its prominence instead of being relegated to the bottom of the page. They need to stop discouraging the 3rd party developers.

Re: Ignition Key bites the dust on Mac - with no plans to fix

They won’t fix this. They won’t do anything about it. They’ll do what they want as they always do. Once they’ve made the decision no matter what we say they won’t go back on t because then they’d be admitting they maybe had it wrong. That’s just the way it is. Learned the hard way. Maybe they’ll pr...

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+

This idea of “always up to date” is my biggest big bear of all of this. It’s made up to legitimise the switch to subscriptions. It bugs me as they know it’s a lie. They aren’t just waiting around with constant updates and the only thing holding them back till now is lack of revenue stream. It’s BS....

I honestly dont mind if RS would break the backwards compatibility to some extent if that would mean a more fluently progress with updates of the whole ecosystem as a DAW. Because the pace of improving the DAW has been non acceptable, and is a very important reason why Reason has not enough active ...

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+

I think what's happened though is people have bought into Reason unaware of that. Many older users never used anything else because being 100% Reason came with some silly sense of pride back in the day and newer users don't know how Reason was before Record. Reason + though, is really just more of ...

I tried a demo of Reason 1.0 on a MacAddict magazine CD (remember bundled software CDs with magazines?) when I was around 12, spent a few minutes clicking around in the rack and couldn't figure out how to make notes come out. A year or so later I tried again with Reason 2.5, after having run up aga...

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+

Our poll says that 15% will subscribe or will consider subscribing. 25% will at least give Reason+ a try. IMO that actually doesn't seem so bad when polling users who are primarily perpetual license owners. That is an optimistic way of looking at it Joey. What I'm getting from the poll results is t...

I'm not among those who would leave if Reason goes subscription only, unfortunately. Reason is just too essential for me.

Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+

I think that there are many casual users like us out there, who just updated the software now and then. I do not think that a lot of them will subscribe to Reason+. Depending on how many those are, it could then be a desaster for the financial planning. I hope RS did the right calculations. R+ is n...
