Adding to this, I wish that volume was not included in patches. If I'm auditioning patches with headphones on, some patches blast your ears off. The volume on a Dr.Octo.Rex shouldn't be remembered with the patch imo or at least have the option to disable the volume adjustment in patches.Although when auditioning I could just turn the headphone level down on my audio interface I suppose.guitfnky wrote: ↑18 May 2020this drives me bonkers. the few times I browse patches, it’s either this one that’s way too quiet, or this one that’s way too loud. no, this one’s at a good volume, but it’s a terrible patch anyway—on to the next...
seriously, how hard is it to normalize the volume of your presets?![]()
and don’t get me started on that undo window positioning garbage. how is that still a problem? 🤨

I've mentioned these before, several times, including feature request directly to Reason Studios, but I'll repeat them.
1. Allow VST hosting in Rack mode. This alone would turn Reason into the most VI on the planet, since you could host any VI in the rack, like in the Combinator, with all the sound design features that implies.
2. Add MIDI cabling on the back. Just like audio cable routing, add MIDI IN/OUT cabling. This could be very useful for the players.
3. In conjunction with #2, have a MIDI Spyder, to allow one MIDI input to be routed to multiple outs.
4. Create easy zoom in/out on the rack so we can see things better. Its still the case that several things on the screen are just too small to see very well, especially for those of us who wear glasses. We need some kind of easy Zoom/resize feature.
That's my wish list.

Just an idea
Trying to give some love to the device thumbnails, also, a little bit less wider.
The rule for the placement should be, the device left corner, or middle.

Rant:
Vsti popup window not "kept open" by default it's the same moving to another rack extension, and the previous one colapses by itself.
keep it open and above everything please.

why would you want that?kuhliloach wrote: ↑31 Oct 2020I wish for a Reason that would somehow make me want to use it as a DAW again, rather than a plug-in inside of Logic. It would need to become something that is actively developed.
reason as a DAW is failing and falling leagues behind the competition, reason as a vst is the biggest strength of reason today. i love RRP.
its the best thing that happened in the recent music production world for me. people keep whining about this feature that feature in sequencer etc....i wish reason would abandon reason DAW and focus completely on reason as VST and add crazy amount of features to RRP, Native instruments should piss their pants.

for me im missing an important feature which is to save the RRP rack as a patch.
now that RRP is here. its used as one rack per instrument track. so essentially one rack is an individual patch. so we should be able to save an entire rack as a patch.
i can do this in ableton however it would be nice if i could do this inside reason itself.

or maybe they can fork the reason project into two products. DAW and VST. and then seperate teams can work on vst and daw. common features of course should be implemented in both.visheshl wrote: ↑20 Dec 2020why would you want that?kuhliloach wrote: ↑31 Oct 2020I wish for a Reason that would somehow make me want to use it as a DAW again, rather than a plug-in inside of Logic.

Please allow MIDI clock out to more than one measly MIDI out channel..its stupid that only one port can be selected to send MIDI clock out to. If I have 6 synths and a couple of drum machines externally i have to chose only one MIDI port to send clock to, meaning I have to daisy chain every device to get clock out to. Not everyone uses the sequencer in Reason to sequence their hardware, I like to send clock to things and use the hardwares internal sequencer, especially Elektron devices etc..

I would assume that if we are going to be getting R12 by summer all features would be finalized.
keeping my fingers crossed for audio to video sequencing.
Also I wonder if the Props are doing something with A.I. Seems A.I is going to make it's way to our tools if we like it or not.

I have a feature request. Naming individual midi notes in a clip
I am using Ample Guitar and have been creating many strum templates such as Notes for Strum Up, Strum Down, Mute. This is not a critical feature just a time saving thing.
This would be handy for clips that I use for key switches. Right now for key switches to know what they are I create an individual clip with the key switch note labeled as either Long, Pizzicato, Spiccato, Legato, and so on.
If I could name the individual notes in the clip I could have one long clip with the names of the key switches right on the notes.

Sequencer: All chained devices (not just the main device) automation behind one button on the track. One color dedicated to mark these automationlanes. : )

Small improvements:
1. Space
2. Clip-Label

Agreed 100% with both of these. Dark theme really needs to be taught to use white sometimes (for text, automation lines, etc) against the super dark clip colors.

1) I like having that space.
2) the clip labels are pretty visible to me, what resolution and zoom level are you using?
It's quite interesting to see the suggestions for improvements that get put forward in these threads.
But I definitely wouldn't have put them two on my list....

It's not that they're too small, that but the black text is hard to see against a dark background. This issue only affects the darkest clip colors, like that deep blue. It's really bad for editing automation lanes, since the lines nearly disappear.Billy+ wrote: ↑27 Feb 20211) I like having that space.

And there are things higher up on my list, sure, but these are very low-hanging fruit that would be fairly basic to change and would improve the user experience, so why not?

Edited: There is now also vertical zoom, so plenty of space to choose (at 1).
Further points are:
3. Midi-preview in browser (good with selected instrument)
4. Mouse wheel scrolling

So would you prefer being able to set your own text label colour or for it just to be an inversion by default?esselfortium wrote: ↑27 Feb 2021It's not that they're too small, that but the black text is hard to see against a dark background.

Since the colors are all predetermined, they should be able to just keep an internal hardcoded list of which ones are dark enough to have their text and automation lines inverted to white. That'd solve the problem nicely.Billy+ wrote: ↑28 Feb 2021So would you prefer being able to set your own text label colour or for it just to be an inversion by default?esselfortium wrote: ↑27 Feb 2021
