Logged in to surprisingly mention the same thing before Kombucha beat me to it, and most likely worded much better than I was about to. I completely agree with Kombucha. There was no source so I took a not-so wild assumption that the 75% was taken from the poll on this forum, which is not an accurate representation of the Reason user base at all. That's not saying I have any clue of the numbers either, but it's not right to use a poll where a very small portion of users are represented and then use those fudged numbers as fact.Kombucha wrote:Where is this figure sourced from? I'll hazard a guess and say that this is inaccurate. There is a poll on this forum somewhere with over 300 voters saying they are on Reason 9. This is representative only of the most enthusiastic users who actually join a forum specific to the DAW they support, so such a figure in a poll like that is not reflective of reality. Are you referring to a poll elsewhere too? Same problem, only the most enthusiastic Reason users, therefore the ones more likely to stay up to date with versions, are going to vote. Example - I own a Cubase license. If I saw a poll, I wouldn't even bother voting, because I'm not interested in using Cubase for my music, nor joining a Cubase forum. An enthusiastic Cubase user would be all over it.EnochLight wrote: True, but when over 75% of users are on 9.x, a dev must ask themselves if perfecting their product is more important than not - even if it pisses off 25% of the users who insist to stay on an old version of Reason.
Plucking a figure from the sky, and with nothing credible to base this on except that poll, I would not be surprised if the real figure was more like 50%. For developers to bring out updates of RE's that require a significant portion of users to upgrade their DAW is a decision made in poor taste. And i is for this reason that I am not buying the discounted buggy ReSpire, because I don't have Reason 9, therefore could be stuck with a broken version for more than one year.
At the end of the day, the synth was released and available for multiple versions of Reason. It's not right to abandon customers who paid for an unfinished product just because latest version users feel they deserve priority and superiority when it was released/available for multiple versions of Reason.
Disclaimer: I'm not claiming Reveal Sound will abandon anyone nor am I claiming anyone demanded priority or superiority; my post is not a shot at anyone nor meant to be negative. Merely trying to present two sides of the coin.

sounds like a good deal. How do you prove your ReSpire purchase? Do you have to get in touch with their support and receive a coupon from them?
