OK, nothing at you in particular but I really don't get the complaints and the reluctance to upgrade. $129 every couple of years? Seriously? When you break that down it's what? 5 or so bucks a month...... a buck or so a week! Come on! Props have to make money otherwise there will be no more Props. But I dare say they'll get by without all the whingers and whiners that keep complaining that this upgrade just ain't worth their hard earned............
Sorry......but I guess that's my 2c errrr $129 worth :puf_smile:
Fair enough. I've bought every version since Reason 1, plus ReCycle and ReBirth, which I can't even run anymore, and Record, when that was a thing. I also have the iPad versions of ReBirth and Thor, and maybe £1000 of mostly Propellerhead REs, so it's not like I've not spent a few quid with the Props over the years. Having just invested in some hardware analogue synths, Reason 10 is beyond my current level of spare cash for an upgrade that's not that interesting for me. I don't do EDM, so the offer of loads of EDM samples and loops doesn't appeal to me, and I have synths.
Was the step between 8 and 9 particularly big? I bought both and can't remember much difference until 9.5, which suits my needs perfectly (although VST 3 support would mean I could ditch Ableton).
I love Reason, it's been my main DAW since it began, but I like what I've got, can't afford to upgrade and so have chosen not to.
It's not like I'm moaning that they should rebuild the engine from the ground up or put a new sequencer in or any of that other stuff you see every time an update is announced. I don't even care that VST support isn't all singing and dancing, as I prefer an integrated Re to an external VST most of the time anyway.
