Re: How powerful are reason's stock synths?

By the way, your question is flawed - it's similar to "how green is this apple?" If you are really interested in knowing what synths are best for you, then while I agree with others who have stated that workflow is very important, I would actually state that you need to listen to the synths themselv...

Re: How powerful are reason's stock synths?

FL studio's price plan and larger userbase (hence greater support infrastructure) has me tempted. I would be very careful with this thinking, if I were you. To me, the FL business model is an "out", or an "end game"; they don't look like they intend to exist indefinitely. They can afford to give fr...

Re: Are all synths in Reason slow in changing presets?

Are all STOCK synths in Reason slow in changing presets? waiting like 1-2 seconds for each preset? None of the true synths take anywhere near that long. On a decent spec machine without masses of optimization and without overclocking it's like 0.3-0.4s per load. That's "true" synths though like Tho...

Re: Softube RE shop page owner/manager dead?

or they don't know how to manage their products on the RS shop - this third option is more likely(?), especially if you factor in the 'I don't really care about REs, because the market's too small' angle. It might be tempting to think this, but honestly, the shop pages is like 3-4 foolproof dropdow...

Re: 2020 was Reason's best year ever, apparently!

More Reason users because of all the free Reason Lites that went out, and more people using "Reason" in the form of the RRP, not necessarily the DAW, plus the high sales record could be as low as $1 more than the last sales record, technically. So, show me the numbers, Niklas. Did you catch Ernst f...

Re: Softube RE shop page owner/manager dead?

I reached out to another dev to ask about sale pricing etc, and they said the exact same thing - they have no control over the pricing of their REs - the only agency they appeared to have was that they were asked if they wanted their products included in seasonal sales or not. Hmm... that might be ...

Re: X-impact Synthesizer in the shop!

To be completely honest, if the devs can't put in the effort to make their device the bare minimum of presentable (which is to say not randomly offset gui elements) then I'm gonna assume that there wasn't enough of an effort put into the audio side as well. It actually sounds pretty decent. :D It's...

Old Reason stuff should still work, but I would seriously doubt that Cubase SX3 files would still work this far down the line. Your best bet is to just try it and see how you get on, but I'm surprised that R2.5 doesn't work on W10 with compatibility mode active. Should you wish to continue using ReW...

Re: No more NDA!

First, you won't need to know Python, it's just used for the build scripts that you never change. I didn't know Lua when I started, but it took me only a week to study it together with the whole SDK. And I think everybody knows C++ if they are to write DSP stuff. Such a shame, python is the only la...
