Reason 13.0.2 released!

[Rising Night Wave]

so... about this latest and newest update from reason studios...

am, i have just created a song. two or three days ago. was starting to build it. and i have started building this song with previous reason daw version v13.0.1 and when i got a message to DL a new update... i just DL-ed it and installed it.

from then on... "undo" and some "automation" functions do not work any more. FFS!!!

this is mandatory!

i am all pi**ed off from then. meaning i am pi**ed off for about 48 hrs now hehe. no really. this is not funny at all.

Still no acknowledging that I might have VSTs I want to use as well. If they're trying to drive me to another DAW, they're doing well.

You’re looking for vsts in the wrong place. Try the device palette.

then the file wont open. the project file. i already tried your suggestion.

[Rising Night Wave]

this my problem... it seems it is not general error... but more sticks to the project file.
i started few minutes ago a new music project with this 13.0.2 version of reason and "undo" and "automation" does work fine and okey.

it is still a bug/an error but at least itsticks so far to only previous project file.

as said... in this new project file i started few minutes ago i do not have any problem.

well, we shall see.

In what cases is undo and automation not working for you? Is it with a particular plugin? Particular parameters or other actions?

Wow, I had no idea the "new and improved" Browser was so fraught with problems.

bugs are not surprising in new features. But I love the new browser. My shit is so organized now. I didn't even know it was a mess.

[RobBarnett]

Anyone on here also use Logic in addition to Reason?

I'm having problems whereby when I create a shortcut to the folder Apple uses to store *.caf apple loops etc. (Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops) - the Reason browser does not display any files.

I do see the *.caf files in the browser if I go to my user folder click up a couple of times to get the the root (Macintosh HD) navigate down to the folder above and then type ".caf" in the search bar but I cannot get them to display in a shortcut????

Would be great to see if this exists for other users. NB- i've had a ticket open for this since pre R13 release Beta testing.

Agreed the new browser still needs some indexing help but overall it has increased my productivity...

[groggy1]

77Gb of refills/samples/patches
8.3Gb of Apple Logic content/loops etc.
12.6Gb of Reason Sound packs
Excluding the included Reason Soundbanks .
all on Macbook Pro M1 Max internal disk

Indexing is still going - Now 3 HOURS

So 97.9 gigs of data, including refills. That’s almost 1/10th of a terabyte. That’s a lot of content to index, so that tracks.

Hi, I'm just coming back to music stuff after a small break, and excited to jump into Reason13. I also noticed that indexing my sample-library is taking forever (and even after it finished, I had one or two times on 13.0.2 where some folders wouldn't expand in the browser.

Anyway, I was wondering: For those that want to use the Reason Browser to navigate to samples without indexing any of them, is the only way to do this to go to the "My Computer" dropdown in the browser, go to my C: drive and navigate each time to my samples folders? I'm really surprised that if I tell reason in Preferences that these folders are "offline", that it doesn't let me add the folders as "Favorites" or " Shortcuts" in the browser so I can get to them easier (without the indexing). What are the options here?

I'm having lots of problems since updating to 13.0.2, problems I've never had before. Reason has always been very stable on my PC. Some examples - the Browser main panel being completely blank of content when opened. Or the Browser showing the wrong content eg opening the browser and it shows content for Ripley when I clicked the Expanse Hyperwave Synth browser. Stuttering audio. Huge use of memory, even after I have closed down the program. Having to open the Task Manager and force Reason to End Task. The attached screen grab was about 30 seconds after Reason was closed.

Had a similar issue here, did you report this to RS? In my case the process was stuck on task manager, wouldn’t close from there had to restart, only after the latest stable….

Yeah I've reported it. I was able to close it/end process from Task Manager. Yes, it's the latest stable here too. I can't even remember the last time I had to use Task Manager to close Reason properly, it was so long ago.

CPU has been fine for me but I've had some similar issues with the Browser and been getting some help from Props support - for me it's been opening the Browser to load a sample and only seeing a limited number of the available samples in All Locations, and different Locations and Shortcuts showing the content from another Location, or samples from just one random subfolder. At Prop's suggestio9n I moved my sample library folders into the Documents folder on my desktop and that seems to have fixed the first issue but the second one remains. For me the breaking point seems to be clicking on Parent in All Locations - if I don't do that everything works fine but if I do then it's all over the shop. I'll post any solutions I find.

Man, the new browser has killed my workflow, its horrible, sticky, even after it has indexed on one project when i open a new one, all the tags and things stay grey, the VST version is even more of a time vampire, your sound faster? thats if you can wait for ages to get the new browser to function, what a mess, i use reason 12 now in the VST version and im so much more creative with the old browser.

Reason 13 the version they killed creativity with the new buggy, non functioning, time sucking, buzz killing, so called browser, gutted i love reason but this version is just not useable. Sad, Really sad.

Thanks for the tip Rorystorm. Unfortunately moving my sample library into my Documents folder would be impossible. Hopefully RS find a fix quickly.

Seems they have blacklisted some system folders from indexing (e.g. Windows folder on Win, /etc/, /bin/ and a few others on mac) including /Library in that list.

[RobBarnett]

They have whitelisted /Library/Audio in their internal build now, which should be out in alpha/beta soon.
