Reason 4 - If this does not support VSTs I imagine even the faithful will drift to other DAWs like Live, Cubase, Logic. It has to be implemented at some point, but the question is will you buy this next version if they do not implement VST support. Audio in would be great,but that’s not as revolutionary as VST support in Reason. I see them going under if they fail to answer the calls of the customers, because at the end of the day, this is who pays the programmers. To bad the company doesn't reach out to there customers with planned release dates, it’s a bit nerve racking for some.

Will we ever accept the fact that a diversity of software, that does not have duplicate features and functions, is in the best interest of the musician and the industry? Why is there so much "feature envy?" I don't need Steinberg, Propellerhead, Ableton or Cakewalk to do the same thing better; I need them to do differently with all their heart. After Akai created the APC40, who could have predicted Push? When I first saw the Novation Launchpad, I screamed "copycat"! Now, I can't wait to get the latest version. Did we ever imagine that a controller would be designed specifically for Reason? While Propellerhead had to discontinue Balance, I am really glad they tried, because its an indicator that they have not become complacent nor compliant. They remain faithful to the same vision that produced ReBirth, ReCycle and the Reason ReFill (which turned out to be a pretty successful model for including the artists/sound designer in the creative process). It is likely that Propellerhead will make a few more products that are not successful. I'm willing to stick around to see their next creation that changes the game.

It's not really about "feature envy" but wanting more modern tools and common sense features. The fact that it's still not possible to link or group faders is retarded. The samplers are badly outdated Imo. I don't really need reason to be like my other DAWs but I need them to keep up with technology.
