20 years of using Reason
Before few days I realized, that I'm using Reason from 20 years.
This is anniversary!
I used Reason from version 1.5 'till now.
Through these years I used many DAWs, virtual synts and samplers, VSTs...etc.
But all my tracks were made with Reason!
All DAWs have pros. and cons.
But for me "more limits = more creativity".
Many people say, that lack of devices stops their creativity.
Look what can be done with ONE SubTractor and ONE PEQ-2: (look at the attached archive)

I started with
Reason 2.5
Released in 2003, Version 2.5 added new effects devices such as the RV7000 Advanced Reverb, BV512 Digital Vocoder, and Scream 4 Sound Destruction Unit. Three smaller devices, the UN16 Unison, and Spider Audio router and Spider CV router added to the 1/2 rack-sized units.
So at least 17 year for me. I've still got the boxes & stickers plus the original USB dongle from version 6 and my last upgrade was 11 suite

You are unique if you started on v1.5!drk73 wrote: ↑28 Jul 2020Before few days I realized, that I'm using Reason from 20 years.

I knew the program, the soundbank and the free refills very well back then. Now I have so many tools but barely know so many of them.
My 20 year anniversary will be Dec 2021
It’s been 17 years for me as well. I started on version 2. A friend of mine gave me his license and then version 2.5 came out, so I upgraded to that immediately. I also bought Logic, but all in all Reason is my go to DAW. Before Props got rid of their forum, I got every refill they had. My sadness comes when they would start a new median and then stop supporting them. Yet if there is a Reason 25 I believe I will have it. Thanks for the memories Reason and may you live long and prosper.
We make music for a reason
My mistake - not 1.5, but 1.0You are unique if you started on v1.5!

I started with a cracked version of 2.5 but was also using other DAW because I always made guitar music and reason was not right for that until version 4 and record so that is my first official version I use bought

Yeah I thought (Wikipedia) that Reason was released in December 2000 so no-one could've been using it 20yrs?

I think I started before 2.0, but I don't think I started with 1.0. Was there a 1.5? I remember being excited about the Maelstrom and NNXT coming out in 2.0. But the release history says midi control wasn't added until 2.0 and I don't remember ever using Reason without a midi keyboard. Hmmmm....I guess it was a long time ago.

Yes, from 1. Bought from 4 (with Record 1) because audio tracks.
Same experience. I know new devices much worse than I once knew all Reason's stock devices.

Yes, that's quite some time.
I started on R1 somewhere in 2001. It gave me a voucher for a free upgrade to Reason 2.0, that was planned for early 2002.
I still like it a lot. And what I think is fairly unique, the program still opens the files made in 2001!!
Cheers on the next 20 years:D

lol it's been so long I decided to get my boxes out and it turns out I was running it since version 1
The box is still in perfect condition with cds and manual
That's a version one box / 2 upgrade then 6 7 8 9 upgrades. I've gone with digital only since.
So I must be hitting 20 years...
