Re: Logic Pro for$200 or should I upgrade to Reason 13?

The only things I'm not to keen on are some of the older instruments. Specifically their ugly-ass early 2000s GUIs. There are some doozies! :lol: Does anyone use UltraBeat anymore? Some goodkits in there though still. Sculpture has some nice plucked thingies as well, And then pop the result in Samp...

Try Option/K to see what's available (and even change some shortcuts to what they are in Reason if that works for you)

Re: Logic Pro for$200 or should I upgrade to Reason 13?

Logic Pro 11 seems really cool and I was about to get it since $200 is very reasonable with all the goodies you get with it. I have a mac studio already and I have been using Reason DAW for a long time now, which I really love. if anyone here using Logic Pro; should I spend my $200 on Reason 13 upg...

Re: Announcing Reason 13

And now that the bulk of Reason "proper" has a dark theme, it makes the main mixer even more painful to look at. Here's hoping for a 13.x update that finally addresses the main mixer. Not holding my breath, though. Less is more, Enoch. The lower your track count the blacker mixer mode is. The color...

Re: Announcing Reason 13

No, the mixer still has the same color scheme. It's not quite part of the general UI, more a skeumorphic "mega device", but I've made note of the request! Please underline that twice. Almost FIVE YEARS AGO, Mattias replied to this question: "For instance, the themes decision to omit the mixer from ...

Re: Do I need Reason's Companion? And an Offline Renewal Question

And CrimsonWarlock above says that Reason 12 no longer uses authorizer, no matter which 12.x version you are on. Indeed, it seems that you need companion from 12.7 onwards, as that is stated in some places on the RS shop. I was reasoning from the screen you get when buying or trialing a new RE, whi...

Re: Do I need Reason's Companion? And an Offline Renewal Question

Reason 12 no longer uses authorizer, no matter which 12.x version you are on. As I understand it, this means that as soon you want to install a new RE or re-install an RE you already own, you can only do that with companion. Ok, I'm getting this from Accounts page: Note: From Reason 12.7, this page...

Do I need Reason's Companion? And an Offline Renewal Question

I am currently on 12.6.1 with macOS. Looks like 12.7 introduced Companion to ditch Authorizer, but at this point everything works and there is nothing in higher 12.x.x versions that I want/need (and am not sure exactly what the heck Companion is anyways!) I don't have a lot of REs, so it has been re...

That's the biggest update Reason Studios has ever done for a device. There must have been a ton of complaints. Or it didn't sell very well.
