Did the majority ask for a browser update or a split sequencer or new devices? I think, as this one new Reason 14 poll-thread also shows, that people clearly had other requests.
They wanted e.g. track folders, MPE support, markers or Combinator updates.

What is happening to our beloved Reason, I can't believe it, I can't understand it.

Whats just going on?
Why would people vote for features/updates in the R14 poll that were already implemented in R13? Doesn't seem like a good data source for drawing conclusions if these new features were requested before or not. I for one remember very clearly how users on this forum have been begging for browser tagging and sequencer updates.

Yes, but did we actually get the sequencer updates that the MAJORITY of the users had asked for?
Sure, split view is nice but i haven't recall that the MAJORITY of the users had asked for it?

And sure browser tagging, but a floating browser and taking away future from the old browser? Did the MAJORITY of the users asked for that? Huh?

It's so typical of Reason Studio to ignore what the MAJORITY have wanted for YEARS and just bury their heads in the sand and carry on as they always have.

Do you see the keywords here? ---> The "MAJORITY " <---

There have been numerous of threads and polls on this forum and several comments on Facebook and Instagram of future requests that have been ignored for YEARS that the (one again) MAJORITY has been asked for...

And also Mathias commented when we finally got VST support in Reason (April 28, 2017) that they would look into continuing to develop this and implement support for multi midi and that was SEVERAL YEARS AGO...

What has happened since then? NOTHING as usual...

The same now when they say that "oh we're going to look at bringing back favorites in the device browser"

Sure, we'll see how that goes, shall we? maybe in 7 years or so?

Some good news (bug fix) I found: Reason 13 seems to fix a bug in RRP where the wrong fonts would be displayed after deleting the last instance and then creating a new instance. In Reason 12, this required relaunching the host DAW to resolve. It's at least fixed in Cubase on Windows (haven't checked Logic, where I also encountered this before).

Can reason 13 run on older Intel macs?

Also does anyone know of a VST that is as good as the Polymode, it sounds fantastic
Sorry, missed a part of your question and now can't edit my post.

Yes, it will run on Intel Macs as long as you are using Mac OS 10.15 or later (Catalina, which is from 2019 so I presume you'd at least be on that).

Honest question: how are you calculating the majority? How many users are you counting in total, vs how many users requesting these features?

This. 100%

The browser structure isn't the issue, it's that it's not able to be docked anymore.

Actually, Reason is now the only mainstream (i.e. well known) DAW that exists with a forced floating browser like this. Pretty crazy!

That in itself should *prove* that Reason Studios are going against what people are used to in 2024.

I think they were just taking a guess from overall forum activity. Personally I have never seen anyone, not even one person, ask for a floating browser and not to be able to dock it anymore, so I would also guess the majority don't like it in that case. Could be wrong, and maybe they had thousands of requests via email for it from people who aren't on the forums, but all we can do is guess to our best knowledge.

I’ll say it again: in order to be able to really tell how many users are on board with a feature request, this forum needs to have a heart or like system for comments 🤷‍♂️

I'd prefer if the browser window wasn't locked to the program window so it could be moved a bit out of the way sometimes. I'm still getting used to the browser, but it's great! Using more patches than ever before.

I’ll say it again too: the users on this forum are hardly representative of the entire Reason user base. So even if we knew exactly where this forum stood on any issue, it would be a limited point of view only including those folks who participate in this forum.

This forum is not reflective of the user base at large, so I'm not sure that system would tell us much. At the very least, I suspect people here are disproportionately biased toward the standalone DAW and perpetual licensing.

I mentioned it in some other thread, but I think RS should follow LUNA's lead and add an integrated feedback system into the Reason app (for both bug reports and feature requests). It could be in the top bar of Reason 13, next to the Help button. This would help funnel feature requests to the same place, where RS is actually looking consistently.

OK, agreed - but how many users asked for Ripley, Polytone, or any of the other tools? How many asked for a separate MIDI editor? How many asked for removal of device favorites?
The “majority” of users never asked for any of these things, and yet here we are.

Exactly what i mentioned earlier in my post, recurring comments and polls in this forum, facebook and instagram.

Unfortunately I don't have access to Resons Studio's email inbox so yeah ...I can't comment on that but as i said you can read the comments on all their social media (disregard paid influencers or Reason Studio "ambassadors" who will say everything is wonderful and smells like flowers).

Does anyone know why I'm not able to changed Quantize from 1/4 to 1/128 here please. I click on the box with 1/4 and nothing happens??
Thanks

Exactly my point!

Reason Studios continues to ignore what the majority of their users want and just keeps going in the wrong direction which will only result in more and more users getting fed up and leaving and that is not a good future path for this program that i would like to continue using.

But hey, i still like Reason 12 despite all its flaws and i'm far too comfortable with the workflow i've built up over the years in this program so i won't be able to switch DAW so i'll guess i just vote with my wallet instead and don't support them until they actually start listening to their users.

You're on slice edit mode. This does works perfectly if you try to move the slices depending on the quantization level you've set.

You do seem to need to deselect the audio clip in order to see the grid lines behind

Thanks. I deselected the (edit) 'snap' button and that seemed to 'unfreeze' the Quantize value box (ie it then functioned normally, allowing values to be amended up to 1/64) - whether or not the snap box was subsequently checked. Possibly a bug??

Anyone else feel like they are having a stroke while navigating through the new browser? They could have at least made it collapsible into the device list area where it used to be. It's not like there weren't 2-3 other ways to create devices.

Really, monochromatic UI? This is torture. I'm looking at a folder right now, seriously, you couldn't make the rex files blue?

Other gripes, the polyend sounds really good, but what exactly did I spend $200 on? Some plugins and a massacre of an existing UI, hindering my workflow.

While loading samples into the Kong NN-Nano, of pad 1, when I go to do the same on pad 2, it doesn't leave me on the folder where I was previously, like it used to.

How was this a good decision? You'd think they'd give us more control of these things in the preference pane, but that hasn't change since Reason 5 from what I can remember, other than adding another pane for VST directory path control.

I'm typing in "Ride" in search, you know, so I can look for ride samples. It just brings up a bunch of folders with ride samples in them, but there is no easy way to cycle through the samples without manually expanding each folder.

Also, this isn't even working most of the time when I click enter, the screen does nothing.

This is horrible, what is going on at "ReasonStudios" ?

I'm on 1/16 note setting but the view and grid is stuck on 1/8 mode. It keeps getting worse ladies & gentlemen.

Update: even when I unlatch the "snap" button, it's still stuck on 1/8 notes.

Update2: It works now, must be a bug unless any of you have any ideas.
