Re: Reason 1.0 vs 10.0 - visual comparison

Yes colored wires, or even striped ones would be so cool. Perhaps even trendy fabric type of cables that are popular with headphone manufacturers now.

Re: Reason 1.0 vs 10.0 - visual comparison

If I had the option of having a typical amateur ugly third-party skin for free, or paying 2 euros for an 'official' skin that I knew was supporting Propellerheads, then I would pick the second option.

Re: Reason 1.0 vs 10.0 - visual comparison

I would only want Propellerhead made skins in the shop. Skinning should not be available to third parties because we would see a bunch of disgusting skins emerge, in the same way many ugly rack extensions have emerged. I’m especially picky about the native device colors. Subtractor is the wrong shad...

Re: Reason 1.0 vs 10.0 - visual comparison

Propellerheads should do the following: 1) update all of Reason to high resolution 2) make the rack and devices scalable/zoomable/vector 3) start selling device skins in the prop shop. For example, want to replace the ugly poo brown NNXT skin? Head over to the prop shop and buy a nice skin for a cou...

Re: Reason 10, why not X?

Putting an "X" in the name is tacky, predictable and lame especially since Apple has done it. I laugh at IK Multimedia because they're still sticking with names like "iRig". They copied the "i' from the iPhone, which many other companies copied at the time when the iPhone was first introduced. It wa...

Re: New UI For reason

I think it would be nice to have a little animated sequence where you can pull a rack device forwards so that it fills the screen then push it back when you're done, a bit like using a sliding rack device or a drawer. https://i.imgur.com/gTmD4t3.gif I do hope you're saying that for a joke, PB!

Re: New UI For reason

There are plenty of ways to handle a scaling interface, it just has to be as transparent as possible. Reasons own navigation pane already scales on a small scale (navigation pane should be an optional removable in the next UI, takes up way too much space at minimum and rarely used). Navigation pane...

Re: MClass Compressor vs Rack Extension Compressors

I mean, if something is SO GREAT, and so silky, and so smooth, and so legendary, it should be able to imme...

Hi everyone, Lately I’ve been trialing a lot of compressors in the propellerhead shop, many have pretty graphics, but one thing that bothers me is that none of them seem to make ANY real difference compared to the MClass compressor.

Re: How come there aren't any tape emulations?

I don't know why there aren't any tape emulations for Reason (besides Audiomatic and Scream) but in all honesty I don't miss them because they're usually too subtle to notice and have more to do with the psychological effects and placebo that comes with looking at pretty graphics than actually doing...
