Reason 12 Wishlist

[Creativemind]

like when browsing patches and the there is a big volume difference

this 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? 🤨

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.

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.

i think mainly

vst3 support

hi res gui ( these should both be in 11.5)

better looking

more toys

small features
and bug fixes
boom! bogs your uncle

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.

/rant over

VST 3 suport and select mono and M/S in master section, just that, the rest is more than good for me!!!

Selecting a track in the browser should reveal everything inside the track, especially audio content so it would be super easy to just drag and drop a wavefile from there into a new arrangement.

I 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.

why would you want that?
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.

VST hosting within the RRP.

yes ten times yes

[visheshl]

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.

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..
