You made my point for me. Thank you.
I own it. Just be prepared that, due to limitations in the VST spec, you can't save your samples in an instance of Serato Sample, so if you move ( or lose ) the source sample - you're screwed. Other than that, Serato Sample works very similar to an MPC.
Thanks for the info. I like the similarities it had with the MPC. I really want an MPC Live, but I don’t have the money for that right now. I have an MPD 24 and a Samsung Galaxy Book that I want to use with Serato Sample for a budget style MPC Live.EnochLight wrote: ↑28 Aug 2019I own it.

that would be one impressive thermos!
If you've already got an MPD 24, and would like to (eventually) pick up an *MPC Live proper, why not just pick up the MPC Software? It's compatible with pretty much all MIDi controllers - including your MPD24 - comes with a ton of plugins and features, and literally works like the MPC. Not to mention, if you pick up a Live someday, you can then transfer your projects to it and work on them without having to lug around a Samsung Galaxy Book.BadKelly wrote: ↑28 Aug 2019Thanks for the info.

Ha, I just suggested the exact same thing to the company previously known as Propellerhead Software!Ad0 wrote: ↑28 Aug 2019One advantage of developing RE now is that it's instantly multiplatform in all DAWs as long as you buy Reason.
They should make a very thin VST version of Reason only hosting a single RE with near-zero overhead. Give that for free, and people will swarm to Rack Extensions. They get their own unified store, unified architecture etc.
Looks like the "official" launch thread for Reason 9 was just 17 pages:Creativemind wrote: ↑28 Aug 2019What's the most amount of pages a thread has had on Reasontalk, is this it?
Oh shit, that’s a much better idea! I liked the idea of Serato Sample being a VST that I can use in Reason, but looks like MPC Software suppers VSTs so I could use R11 rack with it.EnochLight wrote: ↑28 Aug 2019If you've already got an MPD 24, and would like to (eventually) pick up an *MPC Live proper, why not just pick up the MPC Software?

It does go on sale usually around Black Friday, etc.
Full disclosure: I own an MPC Live and freak'n love using it in standalone, so I am totally biased.
I already own Logic Pro but transferring my reason projects over to logic is the problem for me as well. Its not a question of how to do it for me, I know exactly how its just a daunting task. Thinking about it now that's the only reason I haven't left reason completely yet. The tedious task of transferring over but I've already started the process to jump ship it'll just be a week or two to fully complete.If I WERE to buy another DAW it would DEFINITELY be Logic Pro. I’m really thinking about it now but my fear is how to transfer everything from Reason? Will I have to make everything audio files and start over with Logic’s midi instruments and fx? My vocals and guitars are all audio so no big deal but what about all the synths & stuff? I don’t see how there’s any way to transfer my Reason midi files but honestly, if it’s possible I will most likely do it and sell my Reason license. Never thought I would say that but it’s clear after all these years that in the end of disappointing anticipation, Reason is not what I was looking for.
This is exactly what I was thinking. I just don't see this being that great of a move. I mean I'm sure some ppl will buy it but again I don't see it being that great of a move for business like others are saying.How does making Reason a plugin bring in more users? It does less than Rewire does. Who’s going to pay full price for Reason just use it as a plugin? No one outside of the Reason user base is going to buy in on non-resellable Re period. Imo only current Reason users see the value of the Rack plugin.
You know some other DAW users use The Drop filter, for $99 bucks, or similar filter stuff. Imagine when producers realize they can use The Legend RE in a Reason Rack VST and just route audio through The Legend filter like an FX and mix it up with some VST FXs - I'm pretty sure if the message gets across you can have this power at your fingertips - that is mind blowing! They are soo close to making it super, just need Reason Rack VST to host VSTs, VST midi out, int. midi routing and rack midi out. You could essentially make it feature wise like Blue Cat's Patchworks (for the same cost as Reason Intro) - I'm surprised they did not see this initially - but good they now consider it - we just need them to understand that VST in the Reason Rack VST is key to make it 100%.DonnieAlan wrote: ↑28 Aug 20192)Allow VST hosting in the rack even when using Reason as a plugin in another DAW. That would open up all kinds of creative music-making possibilities. I've never understood the limitation of not allowing VST hosting with Reason in slave mode via Rewire, and I don't get the limitation in the new version either. Why limit the options? If the issue is the VST platform itself, which has been suggested by others, then maybe this new version of Reason will perhaps motivate some developers to come out with RE versions of their plugins and VIs (Looking at you Synapse Audio, and Waves, and a few others!).
3)Major MIDI overhaul. Put MIDI IN/OUT ports on just about everything and allow for MIDI cable routing much like we can do now with the audio/cv cables on the back of the rack. Basically, from and to just about anything.
What does it matter whether they have a subscription model to fund rolling updates or some arbitrary version update as long as it is revenue neutral to the customer. You still have your original license which you paid for, and you still have to pay for the version updates. So, if I pay $60/yr for a support subscription or $120 every two years for a version update, it is irrelevant to me from a cost standpoint. The key thing is we end the charade of trying to come up with features to sell a version update, and we get new features as they are stable. This has worked out well for ProTools, as far as I am concerned.ShawnG wrote: ↑28 Aug 2019aren't you supposed to be working on the foundation? or is propellerheads somehow involved?hari_seldon wrote: ↑28 Aug 2019Finally, I can use Reason in a fully featured DAW. Thank you Propellerhead!
Thank you for investing your upgrade cycle to this feature. Personally, I wish Reason would switch to a license plus subscription model like ProTools so we can get away from the charade of update cycles, and move to rolling updates as you complete stable new features.
I could not possibly disagree more about the subscription model, but I like the username, well done sir.

Ableton charged me $249 for an update and Reason charged me $119 for the last one. What do I care whether I pay that over time for rolling updates or a monolithic updates. The rolling update is just a better way to meet customer requirements better than the monolithic update. Engineers need to be paid for their time, and there are features I would like in a more timely fashion. Your entitled to your opinion, but you don't have to be knee jerk dismissive to the realities. Look at the 29 pages of complaints.yahsmith wrote: ↑28 Aug 2019hari_seldon wrote: ↑28 Aug 2019

I hate subscription...the way that reason or ableton is now I can buy It straight out and if I don’t like the next update I can stay on whatever version I have, you don’t have to keep shelling out money...
Probably some thread about "The Reason sound". At least if you add them all together.Creativemind wrote: ↑28 Aug 2019What's the most amount of pages a thread has had on Reasontalk, is this it?
