In my opinion, the strongest point remains its ability to print non-real-time scales, chord progressions, arpeggios, and whatever else into a sequencer using the 'send to track' button, which is not possible from the plugin version. So with the plugin version of Reason, is it completely impossible ...

ReCycle
ReBirth
ReWire
Reason
Record
And I bet someone there was proper chuffed when they came up with the RE acronym for Rack Extensions.

But in Internet-land "Propellehead" was a whole lot easier to Google than "Reason", as well as being a more characterful and interesting name.

This is a problem that can only be solved by buying more stuffz.
The more you spend the better you will feel.

Funny, I actually like the name of this one lol

I'll grant you it is one of their better ones. It only grates on me slightly.

They make good synths but I wish they would give them better names. ;p

Suggestions?

Well, they could start by dropping the "TAL".
And then changing all of the other letters in some of them. Example: TAL-U-NO-LX. Not exactly catchy, is it?

Yeah, it was legal pressure from Roland. Shame.

IMO, porting Reason to iPad would be a much bigger task than Linux version,

Oh, I agree. In reality neither are ever going to happen but an iPad version would find a much bigger and a much faster growing audience than a Linux version and, you know:

...was that they actually re-wrote most of the legacy code? Nope, they'll have rewritten the bare minimum they needed to and nothing more, because they needed to release it. There will still be plenty of old code in there. Anyway, the question was would you like to see it (and use it), NOT if you t...

I think it is vanishingly unlikely, ever. Look at how difficult it was for them to add hi-res graphics and M1 support and how many related bugs there were. Those tasks are trivial compared with porting a 20 year old code base to Linux. I doubt they would ever get their dev costs back. And I think if...

You guys are about 5 years too late.

ha ha ha necro-posting is an art
I've got list of topics I'm going to comment on... eventually. I'm just waiting for the right amount of time to pass

I refuse to respond to this post until my calendar reminder pops up in Feb 2034. .

Lots of my iLok licences have more than one authorisation and, I think, you can install the iLok software on your new PC and manually deactivate licences that were on your old one. I certainly managed that with some of my iLok licences when I had a kaput PC a few years back. I think the zero downtim...

Some Spitfire libraries and quite a few others only use velocity for their "short" sounds (eg. Staccato strings). For the longer sounds they use CC1, which is the modulation wheel. It starts to make a bit more sense when you consider how those sounds are used. You ride the mod wheel to change the dy...

I don't have particularly strong opinions about any speaker brand except KRK. I know they have their fans but I've never heard a good KRK speaker. To me they always sound more like HiFi speakers than monitoring speakers.

I have a few glass monitor risers that are perfect for organising a bunch of small synths. They come in many sizes and heights and with clear or black glass. They are inexpensive and can look classy. Example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charles-Jacobs-Monitor-Riser-Stand/dp/B07951WVYP I also have a few...

I suppose they could go morally bankrupt...

I must have missed reading your interview. Aah, I forgot you must be famous (in one way or another) for your view on things to be legitimate :lol: So my decision to move to Reason from Reaper has no merit because... what? Lots of things you say have no merit. I suppose you could read the whole of t...

I've never seen anyone say they moved the opposite way.

Not only did I move the opposite way, it is in my signature below for quite a while now

I must have missed reading your interview.

I've read lots of music interviews over the years and there have occasionally been people who say "I started out on Reason but then moved to Live (or AnotherDAW). I've never seen anyone say they moved the opposite way. As for the rack, mixer and cables paradigm, I'm not sure it's as relevant as it o...

I have no doubt that Macs are the best platform to use for music production. I also have no doubt that Apple take the piss with their pricing of add-ons and upgrades. They do it because they can, in the same way that replacement parts for premium car brands are two or three times the prices of the s...

TBH I don't really see the point of using someone else's patches in Mimic other than as a learning exercise to see what Mimic can do. The whole point of an instrument like that is to use your own sounds or found sounds or something you've sampled from elsewhere.

maybe the tutorial window that pulls in from the right edge could have an extra purpose.

That's a great idea.

Oh, that's just too much.

You folks do realize that forums are mostly frequented by old codgers who don't really use social media right?
I mean, just look around. All the Reason kidz are somewhere else. That's why RS ignore most of what is said on here. They are chasing the young 'uns and waiting for us to die off.

ooh thats a good shout thats what im looking for dont laugh i just sometimes find if i do a fairly long length of improv, it's hard without notes to come back to it or even know what you were playing at the time (and the settings) cheers! I'm not laughing. I used to have two instances of VSTNotepad...
