Re: Offline authorization will be discontinued for R11 and earlier - This is serious

It would suck indeed, because they would likely go out of business if they ever attempted such a thing. And I think they know it. Reason isn't big enough to go sub only.. too much competition. I don't think we will see this happen. But it's fun to have this conversation over and over and over again...

Re: Offline authorization will be discontinued for R11 and earlier - This is serious

Waves is arguably the largest audio plug-in company ever. If anyone could’ve pulled it off it would’ve been them. Avid tried it with Pro Tools too and even they failed. They couldn’t do it because it’s not what this market wants and as long as there’s another alternative people will go elsewhere. H...

Re: Offline authorization will be discontinued for R11 and earlier - This is serious

If Reason Studios ever tried some Waves nonsense, I’d 100% be behind fighting the powers that be. But this isn’t that. I don't think it's a matter of if but when. And when it does happen I don't think we'll win the argument. "get with the times", "it's progress, I support it", "it's hardly that inc...

Re: Reason 12.6 Released (Apple Silicon, Offline Mode)

Are you zooming with Window's zoom function or from Reason's Application zoom in the options menu? I think there may have been a change from How Reason interaction with the built in OS zoom function and its intended to do it from within Reason itself. If you are doing it from.

Re: Offline authorization will be discontinued for R11 and earlier - This is serious

For those claiming this is “renting” Reason. Renting by definition requires a continual money exchange like as in a subscription..like Reason+. A once a year authentication is not equivalent to that, especially if your computer is always connected to the internet anyway. To me the best analogy is t...

Some guys here don't understand it I think, because it's not about that it is too complicated to get online once a year - no problem with it! And it is not "overthinking" - it is just common sense. It's about some fundamental ethics if you buy something and the company will tell you once a year "do...

Re: Offline authorization will be discontinued for R11 and earlier - This is serious

This may be stupid question as I have no knowledge of coding or similar but if the new r12 authorisation allows authorisation up to a year would r11 users and below not also be able to do this? Or are they different systems that r11 and below software will use that could not be easily patched to th...

Unlike the old codemeter login, there is no tick box to sign in every time. You could quite literally continue to use your computer in the way you describe here. Connect it when you need to update and unplug when you don’t. You only need to reach Reason’s servers once a year. Only if I upgrade to R...

I like my current offline authorization. I think I'm just gonna stop buying anything for some time. I guess RS just made my GAS a lot easier.

Re: VSTs missing after upgrade - I'm crushed :(

Multi-DAW user myself so I’m not trying to convince otherwise, but Logic and every other DAW would’ve given you the same issue as far as not recognizing your plugins that aren’t M1 native. Except it didn't, for some reason (no pun intended). When Reason didn't see my VST's anymore, Logic still did ...

Re: VSTs missing after upgrade - I'm crushed :(

Yea it was a bit of a surprise for many but totally understandable at the same time. But here’s how I look at it. IMO, there is no “risk” of not being able to run your VSTs if you just do what you were already doing - run Reason in Rosetta mode. Then there is then no penalty for upgrading whatsoeve...

Re: MClass Maximizer - How do I use it?

It is a bit fiddy and I don’t care for it either. But the output sort of acts as the threshold and the input raises the volume. Like others said, turn on Lookahead and put both attack and release on Fast.

What I don't understand is that it all worked perfectly before I made the upgrade,
(perhaps the upgrade made an "unticking" of the rosetta option ?
Latest update made Reason M1 native. Reason only ran in Rosetta before.

I have to echo everyone else. If you’re doing stuff like 808 slides, what you want is mono legato. Mimic does both legato and retrig.

Bass amps work but it’s still a guitar input so that can be a bit loud. Many of us keys players are using powered speakers.

Re: SuperBooth 2023 Confession - Reason is for starting an idea

Nothing new.. That’s what reason has always been. He isn’t saying that you can’t make a full production with it, just that it’s not meant to compete with the more technical workflows the stuff like Pro Tools or Studio One excels at. But like someone mentioned earlier, that’s basically most DAWs. The...
