Audiomatic: Safe to use in presets of new REs now?

[joeyluck]

So, Audiomatic is still included with versions of Reason that are greater than 6.5, correct?

Previously, developers and programmers might typically leave something like Audiomatic out of presets... as 6.5 users might not have it (it has been an option for them to buy separately, but not included for them like users of later versions of Reason).

But seeing as new REs require SDK2...
which requires Reason 7.1 and higher...
which those versions include Audiomatic...

Is it safe to assume that it's ok to include Audiomatic in presets for new REs? 

I think so! But just wanted to check to be sure I've got this thinking correct.

Thanks!

I can follow your logic and agree, use it! I love that little orange box. Lots of fun possibilities.

It's not my favorite of all times. Even on my powerful computer it's a hog and doesn't really do anything particularly well. It's fun to play around with but I'd imagine futzbox does a much better job.

I know Audiomatic was free with R7 but 6.5 owners had to pay for it at the time. So I am not sure if it is now a stock device since version 7? If it is, then yes your SDK2 logic makes perfect sense. I suppose the question is, Did it come free as a stock device with reason 8 to a new buyer who was not upgrading...Or totally new to Reason

this is my concern too. currently Audiomatic still being sold on the PH shop for $50. yes it has come free with a lot of upgrades, and it apparently came free with R8 too. but the fact that it's still on the shop makes me feel like it still isn't truly a "stock" device.

Audiomatic has never used a ton of dsp for me unless im running a super computer. I like it because the tape setting can make a mix sound warm and fuzzy. Since i got the EVE eq series i dont use it as much because those have a warm setting I can eq up or down.

It's sold separately only for Reason 6.5 users. However, new REs require SDK2, which requires Reason 7.1 or greater, which includes Audiomatic. That is the reasoning.

I had asked the question in the PUF, and to my understanding, it will be included for free with all versions of Reason beyond 6.5

I posted on the old forum asking how people used it because I could get nothing out of it.  Seems like a lot of people use it in parallel.  I can't stand the tape setting, which I thought I'd love.

However, the other night I used Wash to mangle a huge string pad and it came out jaw-droppingly beautiful.  Stunning and unique.  So for me it's been cool for the weird effects, not the warming ones I thought I'd use.

alright, as long as that note about it being free for "Reason 7 or later" is a guarantee from PH. I'd just hate to see them stop including it in R9 or something.
