Reason 13 Upgrade On Sale

[PhillipOrdonez]

Nifty list! Do you have one for the drum supply? Wait, no proper house, Joey? Reason has fallen off (for me)

[Tiny Montgomery]

Still unsure whether to bother as an RRP user although I was looking for this kind of discount...does anybody have a view on the refreshed library? Could swing it for me if there is a significant amount of content added as I use the factory library a fair bit, particularly REX for perc, toplines and whatnot. Are there new patches for the existing instruments and FX? The new delay looks nice but like everybody I have plenty of these and plenty of analogue synth emulations...

Looks like there are 329 new REX Loops in Reason 13, in the categories of Chopped Bongos, Chopped Congas, Chopped Guiro, Chopped Shaker, Chopped Tambourine, Cinematic, Downtempo Loops, EDM, Foley Perc, Grime UK, Latin, Techno, Trap, Uptempo Loops, Various.

There's also lots of new patches and samples. They say over 1700 new samples, patches and loops.

I made this sheet, focusing just on new loops, using the New in Reason 13 favorites list:

This is a very kind, detailed and compelling response, thank you Joey. All that extra perc etc is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for....decisions, decisions!

There are samples that aren't REX Loops, but not sure about the genre. Maybe if I get time I'll create a sheet of the entire list. I think you can also add the "New in Reason 13" .favo list and view it in Reason 12. It should show all the items I think, just broken/missing.

Thanks Joey

I can get Reason 13 for $106 US. I am a former Reason 8 - 12 user but did not renew my subscription to Plus. I now use LUNA as my main mixing tool and I like it. That said, I do miss Octo. For those of you who upgraded to 13, was it worth it?

[esme]

yes for me

Slightly offended they tagged the house loops as EDM, yet had a separate category for techno.

Just upgraded and the Reason Bar alone makes navigating so much easier. Polytone is nice and Ripley is really cool. I couldn't resist playing with those first. I haven't used the new Reason Tools but they will get abused. I need more time with the browser before I can formulate a proper opinion on it.

Is it worth it? For $106?

For me, yes. I imagined that the new devices would justify the cost and they are nice but the redesign of the GUI is the MVP of the 13 upgrade. From the sequencer. to the edit window Reason 13 looks and feels more organized.

I just bought the Reason 13 upgrade (From Reason 8) for $106 at JRRshop and can confirm that Reason 13 is well worth the upgrade at this price. Prepare to be bounced around with the multistep upgrade process. Just follow the steps one by one and you will get there. I lost no 3rd party instruments or 3rd party rack devices. PS: Before I was a Reason 13 user, I was a Reason+ subscriber and a Reason 12 user.

I just bought the upgrade from audiodeluxe.

[esme]

maybe upgrade was not selling like they hope
i like it

[luckygreen]

EUR 119,00 incl. tax was okish for me despite the R13 shortcommings. Let's hope they fix it.

[Fusion]

thomann have it for £101. Seems a nice price , but will stick with 12 for a bit longer.

[dvdrtldg]

So just to be clear - I can buy this, get my registration code, but then stay on 12 until (either) they bring back the Favourites list (or) I get sick of waiting and download R13?

Yes, if you upgrade to a new version of Reason you still have access to any old version that you had a license for before the upgrade.
