Indeed, but Windows remains the majority. That certainly doesn’t make Mac the standard of musicians.

Totally agree, as music hobbyists make up the vast majority of the DAW and plugin market (though I'm sure everyone fancies themself a "producer" these days)..
Now if only Linux support was coming too. That'd free up 95% of my need to run Windows.
Man, I think Linux support would be incredible, though I wonder just how many customers would benefit from that? I seriously doubt we'll ever see it, though.
If what you're seeing here is being sent to RS (which is not necessarily how it works) I am uncomfortable with it, and more importantly they are breaking the law.Tenbrink wrote: ↑10 Sep 2021I just want to add my voice to back up musicman691 regarding the removal of opting out of error reports.

Having no opt out these days is very out of touch in my opinion. A lot of people value their privacy, even for the tiniest details.
I scimmed through some of the log files and there is some data that I am definitely not comfortable with RS seeing, such as several different file paths in the clear which shows some of my folder structures, computer name, my Windows user name (which they get from C:\users\username...), it's just my first name, but I still don't like it. And if you for example login with a Microsoft account the first time after installing Windows or buying a new PC I think your username will be your Microsoft account e-mail, and I wouldn't be comfortable sharing this with RS (I use a different e-mail for my Reason account). Microsoft does their own share of telemetry collecting in Windows but they have had to do some changes because of EU privacy laws.

I work quite a bit with data protection and it's a part of my job to know the rules imposed by GDPR. For a start you have to inform the registrants of what you are registering about them.

How shall RS change the code of a VST?Shadoww wrote: ↑11 Sep 2021I’m beginning to love the HD graphics now I’m on a 4K monitor. Moving between 140% zoom when doing sound design in the rack and then down to 110% when composing in mixer/sequencer. I now appreciate the intricate task of uprez everything that has been done. But one thing I noticed is that when I open VSTs, they are really small. And can’t be rescaled in Windows 10 by resizing the floating window. And it’s not just old VSTs - all my SoundToys VSTs are tiny!? Does anyone know if this is something RS are still working on?
I’m not bothered about them being in HD. I just would like the floating window to be scalable so I can have it bigger. The resolution doesn’t need to be sharp just bigger on screen so they are useable. Some VST (which aren’t in HD) are scalable in R12 by dragging the corner of the floating window and some are not. So thought it was a reason thing.Loque wrote: ↑11 Sep 2021How shall RS change the code of a VST?Shadoww wrote: ↑11 Sep 2021I’m beginning to love the HD graphics now I’m on a 4K monitor.

The Soundtoys stuff would have fit nicely in the rack when Reason was not HD and Soundtoys is quiet since a long time. I wouldnt expect too much in the next years, especially not HD graphics.
Same for a lot of other VSTs and often you need to pay again.
Well, i got all my RE in HD now for free![]()
Thats not possible. The window code is done by the VST itself.Shadoww wrote: ↑11 Sep 2021I’m not bothered about them being in HD.

Ah ok. That’s a pity. Some of them are ridiculously small in comparison to everything else (but not all of them). I use lots of VSTs so this will slow my workflow down a bitLoque wrote: ↑11 Sep 2021Thats not possible. The window code is done by the VST itself.Shadoww wrote: ↑11 Sep 2021

There would be some workaround, which would open the doors for a lot of trouble with the million individual implementations of the UI code of the VSTs
Ok. But if they give "no indication whatsoever", what is the actual purpose of the log files?avasopht wrote: ↑11 Sep 2021That's a log file.
That's the sort of thing that shows up in log files and crash dumps.
Log files that are stored on the HDD give no indication whatsoever of analytic usage data that is sent back. They could have similar entries (but with paths removed when sent over the wire). Or it could be tracking something completely different.
Interesting. Afaik RS only properly informs what information they are registering when you create an account, regarding GDPR. The only information I can find about the error reports is here:Arrant wrote: ↑11 Sep 2021

Not wanting to go all conspiracy theory here, but perhaps Verdane Capital said they want more ROI and, given data is the new oil, they pressured Reason Studios to be more ruthless with their in-app data slurping...Tenbrink wrote: ↑11 Sep 2021Interesting.

And it's pretty vague:
"error reports, statistics of what you use in the program, as well as information about your computer, such as the amount of RAM you have, screen resolution and OS version". The wording "such as" to means that it's just examples and could include more.
It's also not updated for R12 because it still says "If you change your mind about sending error reports and statistics you can always change the setting in Reason’s Preferences."
Windows 10 HomeEnochLight wrote: ↑09 Sep 2021Can you share more about exactly what you’re doing? What’s your machine specs, GPU, etc? When you load any device in R12 at any particular zoom level for the first time, Reason has to cache the hi-res assets one time only, but that shouldn’t take more than a second.
Just found out this was already discussed here…and a temporary solution found (on windows at least)…
In the 20 years that I’ve been using Reason, I’ve never read the manual, and rarely refer to it. It’s the kind of software I’ve always been able to figure out on my own - or watch a YouTube video.
Yes, that's one of the charms of Reason. I've referred to the manual a few times and I must say, it is very well-written, but I rarely need to refer to it.EnochLight wrote: ↑12 Sep 2021In the 20 years that I’ve been using Reason, I’ve never read the manual, and rarely refer to it.
