For instance, we have the Tutorials and Techniques forum, which I think can be overlooked. There's plenty of good Reason tips in that forum. Also, sometimes people might ask some fairly general Reason questions in that forum. There's definitely some overlap between Reason General and Tutorials and Techniques, but there's also of course tutorials in that forum that are more general and don't just apply to Reason, such as general audio tips...
We've also had some users voice wanting Reason General to be more about using Reason and less about speculation. There is also a bit of overlap between speculation threads and the Feature Suggestions forum...because ultimately, it seems like regular speculation is about wishful thinking and leads to feature suggestions. As Reason users, we do enjoy our speculation

My thoughts:
- We could maybe merge much or Tutorials and Techniques with Reason General? We could perhaps move anything directly related to Reason to Reason General? Maybe Tutorials and Techniques could become something more specific and general, like "Audio & Composition Tutorials"? So for instance, something like "How to use Thor" would go into Reason General and "Music theory tips" could go in the other forum.
- If a thread is only speculating, and it is not about Reason directly or using Reason, but instead something about the business, that should probably go into the Kitchen?
- If a thread is speculating about a product or feature, but is unprompted by a teaser, that probably should just go into the Feature Suggestions forum? I'd say just about 100% of the time, if someone is speculating and asking if the next version of Reason will have a certain feature, that person is saying they want that feature...and then everybody else is piling on with their suggestions and how they would implement it or what feature they would rather have. Maybe that forum can become Feature Suggestions and Speculation?
- If a thread is speculating and is prompted by something like a teaser from Reason Studios, then that seems like it can be more relevant to Reason General or Rack Extensions because it's not just wild speculation.
