Sorry Reason really loved you but i can't keep you :(
Posted: 14 Nov 2017
First i'm a huge fan of Reason since v2.5 ( it was a bundle with Recycle, for something like 250€, i jumped on the 3 months payement without fees ^^), i've updated a few times, Propellerhead has made an awesome soft. and 129€ for an update indepedently of the user's version is very honest, so after few updates, i've met v9.5, and i still love it.
I remember the time when i first discovered Reason, i spent hours and hours patching my rack, everything was 100% virtual instruments, no audio, a big sound emitting rack, i admit, i have downloaded some refills that did not belong to me, but who has never done that ^^ and it was very limited, at that time, the internet connection was so painfull.
How many hours i've spent, in my cubase sx 2.2.0.33 H2O edition with a rewired instance, doing this and that, it was fabulous, like we say in french, it was my perfect "usine à gaz".
But now i've grown, i have more money, so i've buyed my Cubase license, and recently a Komplete license, so i'm really sorry, but i have to make a choice, i cannot use all of that at the same time, is totally counter productive. So i have to separate myself from my license, it's useless to keep it if i never launch it.
To be honest i did not appreciate some of the developper's choice, but they do what they can, and i think they do their best to give the user the best piece of software possible in spite of the constraints that software developement involve.
And when i look at the price of Reason, 349€ and i compare the content with others DAW products, i though that the ratio price/(quality+quantity) is really really decent.
So here it is, i'm leaving, hope you the best, watch out for the cables knots , maybe, like say the big strange guy "i'll be back".
Peace !
P.S : I have seen some people that don't see the difference between Refills and Rack Extension, maybe you can eventually communicate on Refills, like a video, wich clearly explains that Refills is soundbank and presets bank files, and Rack Extension, rackable plugins.
