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

The Browser tab has been an integral part of Reason since v8. Indeed it was the major feature of v8. It's great, and one of the reasons I love Reason.

But it's also slow, especially when searching large sample libraries. It's much slower than other search methods.

When searching "shaker" in my drum samples folder, this is how long it takes:
Reason Browser = 1m 10s
Spotlight (Mac OS) = instant
Audiofinder with database turned on = instant

Fast workflow is one of the selling points of Reason - I can see instant search being a big deal and marketable as a new feature in v10.

A database would, of course, take HDD space, so perhaps provide an option to import into database for users who don't need this feature.
