- Lack of VSTs

- *Something something* Studio One *something* (can't remember what it was exactly, and totally not seeking to denigrate the complaint ...)
- Performance of VSTs
- ARA support (not a common complaint, but just thought I'd put it out there)
- Computer too slow message (not that that was really a problem, but it was brought up)
- Allow smart batches (so that feedback loops can work at low latency but devices not in a loop a processed in larger batches)
- And a switch for low batches within a combinator
Soooo ... what is there left to complain about (2019) ...

Uhhh...yea....not only pitch edit, every sample edit window should be able to be viewed at the same time a midi is viewed or just edited in place of the sequencer...pushedbutton wrote: ↑18 Apr 2019Can't see another midi lane from the pitch correction window.

Someone is going to chime in about video support but for me personally I'd like to see sequencer and audio editing improvements. Other than that I'm really liking things. It is definitely a good time to be a Reason user. And what Diminished mentioned.
I am with you. But on the other hand...where videos getting more and more important...But Videos are another field of software and not Reason.MannequinRaces wrote: ↑18 Apr 2019Someone is going to chime in about video support but for me personally I'd like to see sequencer and audio editing improvements.

Windows users also be able to use mouse scroll wheel settings when cursor
is over an selected RE knob or fader.
Should not be to difficult to implement

Macros.
Also, the ability to save and recall groups of instruments with their mixer settings and buses, so you can recall your complete drum mix or orchestra template.

Sequencer improvements
Macros + customizable shortcuts
High resolution texture update
Combinator update
It's 2019 and we still can't put combinators inside mix/ audio channels while retaining their structure. Have to either make the channel cluttered with everything exposed or settle for retaining the combinator and losing the top to bottom flow by leaving it outside the channel's insert section.

For me multichannel midi for VST like Kontakt to use one device for multi instruments and save that way RAM and CPU

On top of that, my craft has improved so much by committing to a handful of refills, and taking full responsibility for my sound.

if you go back even further, there are a bunch more things that can be crossed off...
-ability to record audio (not just sample)
-open the rack to third party developers
-MIDI out
etc...
this is why it boggles my mind whenever people start to whine about how Propellerhead never listens to users and makes the improvements we want.

This is a good list. Doubly so for showing how many things have been crossed off!
I'll second managed track freezing (bounce in place feels like using the EMI for VST in Reason 7), and high-resolution UI support.
Beyond these, I have no complaints, only wishlist features.

I've stopped looking at Reason as anything more than a hellfire audio production suite.
I have other programs for everything else i want to do.
I'm trying to get back to my Reason 5 mind frame instead of being to wishy,
hell I barely use 15% of Reasons capability

Right-click anywhere in the rack and type in a few letters of the name of the device you want to add, then hit enter to add it. Spotlight search functionality for plugins.
While we're at it, let's have Spotlight search functionality for patches, too, including a tagging system.
Also, sending multiple MIDI channels to VSTs, and being able to control all CCs on VSTs rather than just a few basic ones.

This is it for me. And it's really just icing on the cake, not a complaint as such. But when you set Reason alongside something like WaveLab and compare their audio editing functions, it's clear how much better Reason could be in this regard. I get that there's no such thing as the perfect DAW, but if Reason became a fully-featured editing program I'd never leave
Combinator needs way more rotarys and cv inputs obviously and also I'd like to see it name re's better. It names some synths ok but I end up with a bunch of players and utilities named 'default' . 'High res' support for use in anything greater than 800x600 but seriously there's a lot of different ways to fix that, I hope Props take the time to get it right. Sequencer need work, too many small tweaks to list here. One last thing I would like to be able to press 'TAB' and my view changes to the back of the rack (even if I happen to be in sequencer or mixer view at the time)

Kong needs a significant update (think impact xt for studio one)
