But even if you purchased a DAW with lots of toys, I'm guessing you'd still want to reach for a Pulveriser or SSL EQ from time to time... haha, not Pulverizer, I never use it. But I would 100% still love to cross-integrate plenty of other stock + third party Reason RE devices into a new environment...

I would strongly encourage you to upgrade before the price increase. the R11 Reason Rack Plug In really works well, and it will 'unlock' Reason for you in whatever DAW you decide to use. Warning: 'Poor me' rant start: Not an option, either now or in the foreseeable future, regardless of the price i...

Here's the thing - Reason was never 'just a rack'. There's always been a sequencer that allowed for musical composition, editing and 'live' recording of MIDI input. in 20 years though, how many sequencer improvements have been introduced ? In 2021, it's still terribly lacking compared to just about ...

Really brilliant designs. I like elements of both iterations. Do you create these in InDesign or similar software ? I have a full Adobe CC subscription, but have never put the time into learning ID, so each time I've jumped in to knock some graphics up, I get frustrated and revert back to Photoshop,...

With the sudden steep price increase, I'm officially done with investing my money in Reason. I spent a lot of money on REs and that's going to be it for me. With all the bugs in the new release, worsening performance with each release, lack of basic features found in most DAWs, implementing feature...

Yes, there is a beta being tested that will hopefully address performance issues people have been seeing. That said, I'd submit this as a bug report if I were you just to be safe...

Yup. The BETA is being tested on paying customers.

I'll end comms with you here

I 100% endorse this plan of action.

I'm not sure. I think they are handled separately? You could look at the shop pages for the REs that you haven't tried yet and see what they say. The shop page (when logged in) still gives me a 'download trial' option, which suggests that it's handled separately. But..... and this is important... t...

Use the demo mode if you want to assess R12. You can try all the features of R12 (Mimic, Combinator, graphics, browser). It includes all of the devices that are built into R12, but you can't use your additional REs in your account. You can test the performance of your VSTs though in demo mode. The ...

My suggestion is mostly to those on the fence who are going to make a judgement on Sept 30 to get it for $129. And I'm just pointing out that the refund option gets you 30 days beyond that while being able to lock in the $129 price. Of course you can wait longer and see if it's worth $199, this is ...

We're going in circles because you're choosing to ignore what's being explained. They did make promises of a fix. This has been explained to you. This is a peculiar communication tactic. Peculiar perhaps in that you don't understand what's been stated in the official comment from ReasonStudios. Not...

Let's break down how that might unfold 7 day trial version does not meet expectations, and expires in September In good faith, a purchase is made on 30th September On 30th October, Hi-res bugs are not fixed Refund is issued Per the roadmap (a plan, not a promise ): M1 ship support is implemented in ...

I've already explained - it's not a complete release. Because it's not finished, it's ... ... ... not finished. That means there will be issues for some users because ... wait for it ... it's not finished. Ok man. We're starting to dance around in circles on the same thing. ReasonStudios have relea...

And all the "Reason is Doomed" talk started LONG before Verdane as well. But this time it really IS doomed ! :lol: :lol: Seriously though, there's no reason why anyone should have this view - less so now. There's NO WAY an investor takeover firm are going to allow an acquisition to lose money. And,...

Cool idea. Maybe you could use Combinator buttons for the finger positioning on a fretboard. A really QUICK AND CRUDE example showing a chord because I ran out of buttons. And different midi notes trigger the changes. Hey, that's a really novel approach :thumbs_up: In a practical sense though, I'm ...

GPU rendering can throw a few spanners in the works because there are so many unique to GPU peculiarities to consider. It shows clear on my machine. Your GPU could have default settings favouring performance that automatically reduces resolution beyond a given depth or something ... But they've sta...

Launching the demo again today, I really can't believe the resolution is worse in the browser window at 100% than Reason 10 . And this was a key 'feature' of the release. WTF would I be compelled to upgrade for a worse user experience ? And with all the extra free labor they scam out of beta testing...

The corporation has over 60 current shareholdings in businesses, not one of them even closely related to music software. Yet we're expected to believe the CEO and Executive Management team who, by all observations have zero industry experience, knowledge or interest in music production, when they te...

First they release a half baked product for v12 and now they're charging more for the upgrade? Hoo boy. Yeah that's it. I'm gonna dive into Studio One and see how much work it'd really be to switch DAW's. From next month, Reason upgrade increases by 54%, to $199 To compare - This month, Bitwig offe...

Ok, the OP is "Reason 12 has arrived" My first impressions - there's nothing to float my boat apart from the Combinator2. Mimic, to me. is mostly a 'Gimmick'. Not to my taste. Value proposition for me is $zero. There are more powerful free/cheap sampler VSTs that render this new toy to be of questio...

hmm I guess I'll still wait anyway. I wish I could trial V12, but all they have is the 7 day R+ trial which I already used :( Reason still has the demo mode. The 7 day trial is for full access to everything as if you own it. Demo mode is the same as before—you can't open saved projects, you can't e...

You know, one of the phrases I hate most on this forum after “RTFM” is “Nobody is forcing you to buy it. “. I really do hate that phrase. It pains me to say that in this case it really is applicable.
Ironic that this post is number 199 hahaha.

How about "Nobody is forcing you to RTFM"

Anyone else having SampleTank crashing in R12? I’m getting constant Hardware Exception Errors. All the other IK stuff works great.

How many plugins do you need, friend ? IMO you could spend the next year using only Audacity and jamming out with your sitar.

even when I don’t always agree with the choices being made, I appreciate the candor.

Great day for you, to be able to deploy a word like 'candor' in a sentence.

Hi James, There is a particular person who played a titanic role in regards to Combinator 2. Is there a way I can tip this man??? Who is it ? This doesn't seem like something that should be a secret. The C2 is an amazing advancement for the rack. Perhaps THE most innovative development since the in...
