Reason 12 is coming!

[KGB]

I'm new to reason. It seems pretty neat. Community seems a little toxic toward the developers.

Tough love..I can't use any other software even if I wanted. Been here since 2.5, almost 10 versions in.
No other DAW for me out there and I've tried them all.

Nonsense. Some of us are just salty that Reason 12 stand-alone DAW doesn’t have any core sequencer improvements planned. There’s only a handful of users here who seem hell bent on sending vitriol towards Reason Studios. Most of us want them to succeed and keep developing Reason.

100000% I have ProTools, Studio One and Ableton Live to help write with others and IMHO those programs have some cool features I wish were also in Reason. (e.g. VST3 Support and Punch In Record), BUT I would MUCH prefer to only work in Reason. Its like, I would not get divorced from Reason because I know what I have, is good with reason.

Yes, it's crazy, most people would like to use only Reason, but they force people to move to another DAW, that they can use this Rack-Plugin. In my opinion they spread a lot of mistrust in their own community, which is a terrible marketing strategy (edit: I do not want to say that a rack plugin is bad at all, its a really good idea I think).
Reason DAW just needs some core updates and features to competite with the others, but they just don't see it how it seems.
I really don't understand that kind of product organisation. I hope they will become rational A.S.A.P. and focus on the the DAW and clear communication before its too late.
I am thinking about switching (to Fruity Loops), too...

[Creativemind]

is there any rumours about vst3 support?
when we can see it in the Reason?

I don't think it'll be in the initial main Reason 12 release but reckon in the following point versions but that's just my guess.

Reason Sequencer updates please! Especially for Audio clips!

The fact is that if (like me) you have been looking at Reason from the 'outside' it seems that Reason is primarily a 'Rack' of cool stuff that can be used in any DAW that also has its own DAW as an option... The rack is the headline, not the DAW...and that seems intentional.

Sure, it’s intentional as of Reason 11, but between 6 and 10 - literally five full versions - Reason DAW was the only option (unless you wanted to deal with the clunkiness of ReWire). 12 just makes those intentions even more… intentional?

Welcome,


It's not so much toxic and more like when your favourite long lost uncle turns up with a new toy that can't be found anywhere on the planet but the batteries are impossible to buy..

You love the toy but really wished he had thought about the batteries as well

Yup. That’s pretty much the feeling.
Course we do have work arounds for the batteries...

We don't know there's no core daw improvements planned for 12 do we.

Yes to audio improvements:- slice by song position pointer, tempo detect and fit to tempo for audio, transient sensitivity, punch in/out, vertical allignment and multiple curves for crossfades (which should've been there from the start) and one I'd like to see which I've not heard anyone else mention, auditioning audio clip parts with the speaker tool or I key in the sequencer.

Mattias, given OS X El Capitan is getting long in the tooth now, I was wondering if Reason 12 will still support it or if the macOS system requirement will be higher this time round?

Are you in a position to let us know at this point in development?

Yes, we'll bump the system requirements to macOS 10.13 and above and Windows 10 and above. This was a long time coming and it really helps development when we don't have support older, quite technically different systems.

Hi Mattias. I'm in the process of upgrading an old Mac to get it to support 10.13 so I'm ready for Reason 12. I have a question though; do I need a graphics card that support Metal to run Reason 12, or will it still OK run on a non-metal card as long as the Mac is running macOS High Sierra?

Just made use of the three months for 3 Euros offer for Reason+ to get an early look on 12 (I had bought the perpetual update for September already so I am independent from the subscription). Just looking at the great user flow in the companion app makes me happy and I am looking forward to having this for Reason 12 "standard". Seeing all these sound packs with preview audio is super nice, I'm just not the subscription kinda guy, I have less time for music as a hobby and generally avoid software as a subscription whenever possible. Nevertheless, R+ looks neat so far.

It's hard to find a community that isn't. You will have your fanboys but there are plenty of other forums and youtube comments that are not friendly. What a user pays for a license has a lot to do with it.

The OP hasn't been here since posting that 2 weeks ago. Can we not dig this up in an attempt to start drama?

Still just one Midi-Bus to send a Midi-Clock.

What should i do, if i had several USB-Midi Hardware Synths, Grooveboxes, … that need a Midi-Clock???

[northside76]

I have installed and reinstalled reason 12 Numerous times and keep getting this and after I click (ok) the program will never load. Could someone help me solve this problem?

(although personally I would use Reason as a Rack in Bitwig if I was going to use all my outboard)

[Calazzus]

What about multi timbral MIDI? Someone mentioned that it will not be in reason 12 but does reason studios ever plan to offer it? Does anyone know?

You can try to delete your Reason Preferences.prf file in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Propellerhead Software\Reason

I think there has not been any comment on this from RS.

So, I've searched the topic for "keyboard shortcuts" and didn't find anything about it, but only just now I found out i can zoom in/out with kb shortcuts.

For some weirdass "Reason" , it's

Code: Select all

Ctrl / Shift / -

to zoom out, but

Code: Select all

Numpad +

seems to zoom in. lol ? Whatsup with that?
