Anyone Update Mac OS to Mojave yet?

[fieldframe]

The labels in the piano roll are blank for me - Mojave, Reason 9.5. Should have $hitcanned this clunker long ago.. Hey Props, try to keep up!

Unfortunately, Reason 9.5 is officially incompatible with Mojave: https://help.propellerheads.com/hc/en-u ... -statement

I’m not particularly happy to see Propellerhead stop supporting a piece of software only a little over a year since they stopped selling it, but at least I have no need to upgrade to Mojave right now. In your case, your options are to downgrade to High Sierra or upgrade to Reason 10.

Agreed! I'm not happy either. As you have pointed out, there are options. Rather than upgrade Reason or roll back the OS, I will upgrade Studio One Artist to Pro at the end of November. Reason seems like one giant workaround to me anyway.
Thanks for your help.

9.5 not being compatible with Mojave is some boots.

[mooseharris]

I have Reason 9.5.4 and Mojave, and they work fine together. Until I saw the statement I had no idea they weren't compatible.

I will obviously cease using Reason 9.5.4 immediately and pay £109 to upgrade to Reason 10.2.

Thanks for the heads up, I really dodged a bullet there.

[mooseharris]

In all my sarcasm I forgot to mention a couple of graphics bugs that are evident, but not worth losing sleep over.

They've withdrawn support, and not fixed these small bugs, but I'm still not spending £109 on Reason 10.2 because, having bought every version since 1.0, I'm not feeling the love quite so much at the moment.

VST 3.0 support might do it, AU support might do it, but I have a lot of Roland hardware and software, and none of the software works in Reason, whilst hardware facilities are limited.

It's "officially" incompatible, but it works fine here. Same with Reason 7. Your mileage may vary, and if you're using 9.5 then I would strongly suggest steering clear of Mojave (in fact, I'd steer clear in general for now - you're not missing much).

fwiw I've had Mojave installed for a couple of weeks and the only main differences I've noticed are...
- Dark mode. I don't use it, and now I can't set just my menu bar to be black while retaining the look of everything else. There are work-arounds but those make all your apps think you're running dark mode, which causes a load of inconsistencies.
- More audio pops. No idea what's causing it, but even something as simple as listening to music sometimes causes the audio to pop and skip for no reason.
- Some of my Wine-wrapped apps are behaving oddly. That's not massively surprising, but it is annoying.
- It broke Sylenth.

I'm sure this stuff will get fixed but I do sort of wish I'd stuck with El Capitan. In my case the upgrade was relatively painless, and all of my major stuff works (Sylenth now works after installing an update) - but I don't feel like I really got anything particularly useful out of it.

I know it's not a perfect solution, but if you want to use AUs in Reason you can if you use a plug-in wrapper. Right now I'm using NyrvSystems' AgentCM which came free with Computer Music (which I bought for this very reason), and while it's a bit fiddly I'm currently using it to host DrumSpillage with zero issues. It also seems to get around the main issue I have with a lot of Kontakt instruments taking forever to load. Like I said - not perfect, but it's a workaround.

You're right, I'm not losing sleep over it, I'm moving on. Toodles!

I updated my MBP successfully. New audio features are great!

I just updated to Mojave I still have reason 6 its been a while but as soon as i updated reason no longer recognized my interface along with some other issues like being able to see sounds in the piano roll. Are my only options to upgrade to reason 10 or move back to High Sierra ?

I would love dark mode...but dare not yet leave my "Sierra". Don't like how Apple upgrade new versions so often, why not just build on what they´ve got...

You probably would hate Windows 10 then? Rolling releases every 6 months - and no (Home) or limited (Pro) chance to skip/postpone.

Learn to live with it! The software company I'm working for starts to release a new version each quarter, starting from 2019.

I'm scared and I will update in 2020 maybe !

My MacBook Pro shat itself the other week (running Sierra), just got it back from the shop with a new logic board and Mojave installed. Now having all the problems with laggy/jumpy UI on big projects, audio dropping out etc. Opening in low res mode helps, but fucking hell it's a bit shabby.

So why I don't update. I will stick around High Sierra for a while [emoji28]

Unless you want new plugins, then of course don't upgrade to Reason 10+
For me, 129$ update was not a 200$ plugin

[timbuk295]

Been using Reason on Mojave since Nov. No problems for me, but I also don't use a ton of VST. Mostly RE and a lot of Audio Tracks.

I'm on a Mac for the first time (got it through work) so it came with Mojave preinstalled. Seems really nice though. I assume everyone here is having to run in low res mode, right?

[tobypearce]

Yep - low res mode for me.

This reminds me, do we know if 10.3 will also fix the graphical issues that Reason is having and allow users to use a lot of VST instruments to go back to hi res mode?

I've been in low res for a few months now and this thread has reminded me that hopefully before too long I'll be able to switch back, and Reason won't look so blurry.
