Re: Reason+ trial expires... but I didn't even start it ?!?

I’m sorry but having a marketing person from the company who is a public face of reason studios appear to make light over how it is too easy to set up a trial to a paid service is very poor practice, in professional and doesn’t help improve relationships with a large proportion of disgruntled and co...

Re: I have done the unthinkable: I bought Ableton Live Lite

I used bitwig and while in some ways it is super modern feeing and the browser is simply the best I have ever used I just didn’t gel with it and it also crashed regularly on my MacBook Pro so I went back to live. I have used live since v1.5 so know it well but it’s taken a while to psychologically a...

Re: Ableton 11 Release Announced

I was a very early Live adopter and started using is from 1.5 onwards until around v8 or 9 when I gave it a rest. Since then I have swung in and out of Reason which always feels like a fun old friend but then I start to get frustrated. I have also used Logic for ages. Recently I tried Bitwig and wa...

Re: What would make you consider Reason+ sub?

Unfortunately, my trust in this company has gone so further investment in their products will be minimal.

No me neither.) One of the reasons I’m so baffled by reason plus is twofold. Despite being the same tool they...

Does anyone want to buy an active bigwig license? (For sale!)

I have Reason, Logic and Bitwig and 3s a crowd. It is a great tool but I have limited time so am selling it. It is active for upgrades until June 26th and I can send a screen grab of my account. I am selling for £145. Drop me a line if you are interested.

Also, the "F8" Tool Window. Why does it not look and behave like everything else in the UI? The answer is "because it's always been like that". It should dock and slide out like the other Windows. But it's "always been like it is" so seemingly can never change. It's a mindset that I cannot fathom. ...

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

I actually really liked the old sequencer pre-V4 update. I wrote a LOT of music on that sequencer alone, on a 7inch ASUS eeePC, never Rewiring, and ever since the change i haven't really felt comfortable, especially with the way clips are handled for editing and other oddities. Somehow it was so ba...

There is nothing bad in targeting the masses, some of them will eventually grow up and appreciate the Reason potential. Or they may never think about it if they never try it. “All children are born artists, ...

I just checked their site too. All I can say is despite getting back on reason after a break as a user since v1 I am out. I love the software but not £20 a month for some sounds. It’s safe to say the company and product I knew is finally gone. Even with 50% in the first year it’s just too much and s...
