Yup this. Any ideas when it's likely to roll out for everyone?Creativemind wrote: ↑21 Nov 2022How long will this Beta last for roughly?
What I'm asking is, will it be tested and 12.5 be out before you break up for Christmas? I know it sounds like a tight squeeze and I'm guessing more like mid-late Jan but is 4 weeks do-able?
Beta testers are not allowed to discuss the beta outside the beta-forum.

Here I was thinking I was all alone. I had been testing since R3 and was released for inactivity as well. Inactivity I think is defined as non-reporting and if your findings are already reported then why do so? Forum contribution not sure. I don’t think I can even be eligible for testing because when I was let go they took the R12 license I had.avasopht wrote: ↑21 Nov 2022Same.
I was in Tunisia for several weeks with limited internet access, and had been producing content but was not satisfied with my result (plus I had limited listening options) ... plus every bug I did find had already been logged, so while I was active my activity couldn't be recorded.
But I had to admit that I had too much going on to justify rejoining and that I wasn't half as active as I could/should have been.
I have confidence in the bug hunt however as they have a great group of testers who are sharp and catch most of issues beforehand. I wouldn’t expect that it will be released as a Christmas gift but that is anyone’s guess. Easiest way to know is sign up and gauge by the feedback that is being discussed. I hope it goes well!I feel *slightly* better knowing I wasn't the only one. I feel doubly better to hear it also happened to what i consider two smart fellas.Lizard wrote: ↑08 Dec 2022Here I was thinking I was all alone.

It seemed like a very cold decision from them to just dump so many of their elite/alpha testers so easily, after most of us tested for well over 10 years - with not ever a peep, and not ever a leak.
It's all good. I thought I contributed but surely could have done better. At least that is evident from their perspective and decisions.-008' wrote: ↑08 Dec 2022I feel *slightly* better knowing I wasn't the only one. I feel doubly better to hear it also happened to what i consider two smart fellas.
As you say, if bugs you report are already reported, this might seem like inactivity. But what about confirming and duplicating pre-reported bugs? What about all the great discussions that took place? Ideas/issues reported in threads? What about contributions of any song demos, or the tons of patches that were always delivered for any new devices, kits and even the soundbanks?
Of course in testing, it is most important to get all the bugs, but it must also be quite valuable to get as much feedback and user content at the earliest stages, right?
Especially from power users who know the app upside down and backwards. I assume that is why the group existed in the first place?
I have written it off as someone delegating the alpha group management to "the new guy". What other possible explanation could there be? Before anyone else says it - I would accept that i am a useless idiot and they don't need me anymore, but not Lizard & Ava as well. (wth is going on over there? lol)
Seems like the "inactivity" thing (in the middle of a pandemic) was just a convenient excuse to drop a bunch of people, for whatever reason.
There is s great group over there and not listening and learning from their discussions is what I'll miss most. It's those people that give me confidence in a streamlined and almost bug free product. At least now I know it wasn't just me. 
Would it really break the beta rules to say, "yeah it's going ok for me"? lol!crimsonwarlock wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022Beta testers are not allowed to discuss the beta outside the beta-forum.
#metoo. I have loads of VST3s I need to test in Reason. Signed up for beta but have not heard back.Lizard wrote: ↑08 Dec 2022It's all good. I thought I contributed but surely could have done better.

There is no point in speculating when VST3 is coming because nobody knows. There is nothing to even police on that level of insight despite people here getting their guns oiled up at the mere thought of it. So how is the beta going? It's taking submissions. Only RS knows how it's going. Everything else is pure speculation.Please don't share any information outside of the Reason Beta lounge about features and fixes in the Beta that are not yet released to the Stable Reason.
I recently purchased and would appreciate any beta tester to test iZotope Ozone 10 VST3, and Korg Wavestate native VST3.
