[Some] May Madness Reason price reductions hit the store

[Yonatan]

Thanks for the comments about (not) hanging on for 12. But on the point of buying 11 Suite when I can't run it just to get the deal on the RE's so I can run them on 11, can anyone confirm if that would actually work please? Or must I somehow install/register 11 in order to access them? Or is that a question only Reason Studios can answer?

A relevant question. Seen it in some other thread. I guess it is safest to ask RS about it on fb or other social media where they might answer quicker.

Wasn't the rig bundles in sale maybe a month ago or so? So maybe those won't come to sale in this month (if the MM continues/get new stuff)?

[Yonatan]

Seems RS want to cream out on the Reason deals until anything else goes to sale. So I wont expect full MM for REs until maybe 11th of May.

I don't have suite, but If I'm not mistaken, the REs are separately downloadable from the shop and are not installed with 11 suite so you should be able to use them. That's how it has worked any time a RE was given free with an upgrade.

Confirmation from Reason Studios to my question on Facebook, if anyone else was in a similar situation:

"You can buy the Suite upgrade now and use the RE:s with Reason 10 until you get a new computer. No problem. -Stefan"

That was quite quick reply! Good!

It only took 6 plus months for suite upgrade to finally go sale. I’ll be purchasing it today. Can’t wait to finally use parsec, scenic, and poly step.

It’s so bizarre that there isn’t a standard discount to go to suite from standard like every other daw out there.

[kuhliloach]

The full DAW itself should be free in order to grow the product, maybe open-source. It should come with a basic compliment of instruments and effects. RE's / add-ons sold separately. If not I expect very slow user growth and code development for Reason going forward.

The prices are much lower in JRRShop (If you apply the code FORUM or GROUP at checkout) - For example the suite upgrade goes to $179

Thanks for the info !! Just upgraded from R9 to R11 Suite for 169€ !

12 is ages away. 11 has been out for a bit over 7 months.

The only way is to write to sale support. They give you a voucher, so you only have to pay the difference between 11 and 11 suite.
Would be interesting if the actual discount is with this way also available.

I bought the Suite Upgrade from JRR when it first came out and the delivery was within minutes. Obviously things are a little strange at present but I would still expect it to be fairly quick. They are good people.

I'm sure JRR's price converted to USD will still be cheaper than what RS would charge you in GBP.

I hate this. I've only so much money. If MM happens, I've REs lined up to buy. If it doesn't, I'd get Suite upgrade instead. If there's no MM after 10th of May, when Suite upgrade discount ends, I will not get anything. Not from RS anyway.

If I'm a developer I would file this under worst idea ever.

I'm waiting almost a year now for my Cubase .5 update to go on sale.

Cubase 10.5 only came out 6 months ago. Update sales will be in a month or two.
Updates and update sales are like clockwork over at Steinberg.

Why would you not install 11? It doesn't have any higher requirements AFAIK? Or is there some difference on Mac for the lowest accepted OS version?

36 hours later... no codes... I sent them an email just now... sales are working from home so don't bother phoning... I did yesterday and the guitar tec that answered gave me the wrong email address that was returned today. I used the email on the messages I got after purchase just now
