That's kinda my point though. There is a world beyond the rack. We're spoilt with the ability to mix and match VSTs and REs. Not everything has to live in the rack.
My comment was in response to the other guys suggestion. But to your post - since Reason started being VST capable, I've bought the odd dirt cheap special offer and.... well VST really annoys me !
The installation process is a pain, and would be a nightmare to manage if one has many plugins from different sources, but mostly, I can't stand the floating windows. Despite this, something that's become a regular VST feature in my rack is an Audio Tuner, which is excellent for tuning my outboard instruments, having several side by side to visual observe which notes are being played back, plus I do a lot of note changes via the pitch wheel to make a smooth transition with zero attack (and a lot of sounds are not in tune). So clicking the 'keep open' button on and off all the time is a pet peeve. On top of that the VST window randomly disappears sometimes, which I think is due to my configuration of using two screen and having the mixer, sequencer and rack all as standalone. If someone made a tuner for the rack, it would save a lot of woes. I'm perplexed as to why its not a standard feature in Reason.
