$20 upgrade to R8 with no Softube amps

Have any feature requests? No promise they'll get to Reason Studios, but you can still discuss them here.

Just heard this song on Discover from Hypervox and it made me think of this idea:  A $20 upgrade from 7 to 8 with no Softube amps.  Nice recording done with Take by the way.

Though it sounds okay enough on its face, I'd imagine that this would really confuse the pricing structure for Reason 9 and beyond.

I also wish there was a cheaper upgrade option without the virtual amps. My guitarist refuses to record anything else but the real thing.

Probably not since they already made the Softube amps independent Rack Extensions for $69 each, like Synchronous, Audiomatic, and Pulsar for $49 each, all of which may or may not be included with R9.

The Softube amps are meant to replace the Line6 devices one day, so it would be stupid not getting them. One day Refill producers will rely on the presence of those, and If you don't own them, you'll probably be miffed.

Or you could get Kuassa amps and replace any missing Softube ones with those.
Or just avoid buying combinator heavy ReFills...  I prefer device patch ReFills myself.

I would be all pissed if they did this considering I just paid $129 for the upgrade....

At first I thought this was an actual offer from Propellerhead ...  :?

I think an upgrade cost that low would cheapen the product. Giving an update away for free equates to generosity, but a $20 upgrade to a $400 product would come across as desperate to me.

Anyway, if it's their "best-selling upgrade ever" I don't see where they have much motivation to drop the price a nickel.

I also liked the e idea of the $20 upgrade sans the softube amps ... the softube anps do cost somewhere around $69 each and while they seem to be charging $129 for the upgrade the softube amps are free ... as they are charging them outside the purchase of R8.... hmmm

i just upgraded from R4 to 7 , i would have been better off buying R8 and get the offers too of the REs ...

Just my thought on it ... what is right what is wrong... hmmm

It's not gonna happen.
You don't even get synchronous free it you upgrade now.
I just hope R9 comes with more stock devices or sharing Reason files is going to become an expensive nightmare....

'Oh you trial'ed that RE when it came out and bought a different kind? Well I use this one, if you want to collaborate that'll be €79 for a device that does pretty much the same thing as the one you have. Audio stems? hmmm. well I was hoping you could take a look at this cv rooting that I've spent the last 2 weeks on, never mind.'
@pushedbutton on twitter, add me, send me a message, but don't try to sell me stuff cos I'm skint.
Using Reason since version 3 and still never finished a song.
