But our generations who appreciate just to be able to see a rack with virtual stuff, is not at the same place as the younger generations of today, that are spoiled with automation and just using one finger to point to get what they want.
Reason is in my opinion the perfect middle ground where the older workflow and the newest meet. It inspires so much, but I dovt think it automatically touches the younger ones as much with wires and look-alike interface. I think that many miss out on the potential and beauty of Reason just because they do not understand it the same way. They got not the same connection to the older days.
They can learn to love it, I am sure, and the more quality video tutorials or vlogs, the more of the younger ones will see the beauty.
So, if my point may seem harsh by some, I might add that I do think the players etc of the new Reason 9 is a hit in right direction. Two years of R8 was not that hopefull. Now I can see there is a way more exciting package.
You miss understood the point Yonatan. It is not about wire and cv or Rack approach. I advice people what Reason offers right out of the box and to that it is incomparable. Man apart from the SSL which is a fixed dynamic tools what useful compressor do you have in Reason? What is your favourite EQ in Reason which makes you jump out of your chair?
The point is, in my believe, Relatively speaking If you look at what Other DAWs are offering right out off the box makes them even more cost effective than Reason. Which you have to spend another at least 400 bucks over Rack extension to keep up and running that if you wait for sale. Now that makes it even less appealing form me to advice people to buy it. I'm not sales man so I have to tell people based on my experience than lets say emotional advice.
I wouldn't spend a lot of cash over a crappy Re reverb relatively speaking to the VST if Reason developers had not been too slow to upgrade the RV7000.
The point I saw a guy wrote IR loader with in two weeks for linux audio community, I realised PH are going slow intentionally for business decision. based on that experience and watching how things are going even right now, I tell people that there are very, very better options out there.
So I don't want people to go that way and lose cash. I'm not a sales man I'm a user and I tell people based on my experience. I would rather help less fortunate people with my money than spend it unnecessarily over Re to stand up side by side with other DAWs. I don't know how much is the 1176 compressor for reason 150$ isn't that logic builtin compressor offer? I'm Sorry in this economy hell no I don't tell people to spend 400 bucks man. I love people all over the world. Bless!
