You're accusing them of incompetence when they've been designing music software for years. Doing something for many years doesn't mean you never make mistakes. Been there, done that. I never said it did, but my point is you have no reason to assume incompetence from the design stage is the explanat...

What makes you think that are hardcoded tags? Where do you get your insights on how they implement features? I'm a software engineer, have been for the last 40 years, that's where I get my insights :puf_wink: No functionality in the UI of the application to edit/add existing tags and categories mea...

Logic has a 90 day trial available, so I’d recommend taking advantage of that. It’s excellent software but has its quirks just like Reason. Reason 13 will also be released before the 90 day trial is up, so you can judge the user reception at that point.

If you don't like 'em, don't use 'em. It's not compulsory.

... and in that case, the new browser has nothing over the current one

It has full keyboard control, which I've wanted for years. I'd say that's something.
That said, I agree tags and device categories should be editable.

The question part is that I still need to work out is if the Reason rack is reporting latency to the external plugin - the only latent plugins I have used are Neptune and Tapefunk, but by design, those don't report their latency to the Reason mixer, therefore are not relevant in this discussion. Do...

A proper tagging system lets you assign multiple tags, so they're not mutually exclusive boxes.

Which version was this?! I have like zero memory of this happening. How strange.

Reason 7 and earlier. The current browser with drag-and-drop was the biggest selling point of Reason 8.

So this detached browser isn't new Reason Studios did this before and it didn't pan out so great so I guess lets try it again and see if it works this time around is the general idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=963gkzEkOF4 After all this time, I'm still not sure which browser I prefer tbh. The...

I think you could use Ableton Link if you had two Reason licenses and two computers (or a VM might work). Obviously not ideal.

I suspect you're asking about the sample editor and noticing that the Samples tab was removed from the Tool Window.
From Reason 8 onward, it was moved to "Song Samples" in the left side of the browser.

And the joke's on me, as PUMP is broken anyway. If inserted into any existing project using a variety of other plugins, it instantly silences all project sound. Fyi there's a small bug where if you replace an existing effect device with Pump, the output won't be automatically routed. That might be ...

I would say introducing a dark SSL skin is actually trickier than it might initially appear when you consider the impact on the design of the rack. For visual consistency, a dark SSL skin would probably require dark Mixer Channel and Audio Track devices in the rack (and the Master Section too). Thos...

I mean there are RE's that have alternate skins. Can't remember the names off the top of my head but it's definitely possible. So even if they're not part of the GUI, we could have a switch that toggles light/dark mode somewhere on the mixer. Like on the master section perhaps. Right, Combinator 2 ...

Noooooooo...I live in Blue mode Yeah, that's disappointing. Blue mode was the lowest contrast option, which helped for working in dark environments. So...they ask, what features could probably be added to the space in the new "tool" area? What about * predefined curves for automation * Randomizing ...

I'm aware of the context. I was just pointing out there's an imperfect solution that is confirmed to be included and seems to have been overlooked in these discussions. It is not overlooked, it is simply not what we are discussing, which is favorite lists for devices. It is not about pre-tagging by...

It's useful in the context you mentioned of wanting a list of "all compressors", because that's exactly the type of device category that will be included even if they're not customizable. Compressors was an example, did you look at the image of part of my list? If we are talking favorite lists of d...

Mathias explained that already (I think it was earlier in this topic) that the devices can only be tagged by the developers of those devices. So, yes there are tags for devices, and no, this is not a useful scenario in this matter. I quoted that very explanation in my post. RS has already categoriz...

Several users, me included, have setup many favorite lists to group specific devices, like e.g., all compressors. So far, it appears that functionality is gone. FWIW a relevant question was asked on the second page of this thread: Can we create new tags for VST's or Devices ? That's currently not i...

I don't think global copy/paste is essential, but synths like Europa absolutely should have copy/paste between the different engines/oscillators. I don't mind matching settings on older synths like Malstrom where the controls are all visible at once, but it becomes very tedious when tabs are involve...

I'm curious how many users know that velocity ramps are already built into the software (by holding control with the pencil tool in the velocity editor). You'd never discover this without reading the manual or being told by someone. Holding shift to affect only the selected notes is even more obscur...

The velocity randomization in Reason would be a lot more useful if it was not percentage based. I would only use the existing feature for adding variation to a fixed velocity passage. Other software like Logic will add/subtract a random value within a range (like [-10, +10]). This is more typically ...

Just noticed you can flip the devices on the product page. The back of Ripley is more extensive than I was expecting:

How the drag and drop handled with the new browser? Will it hides automatically? In the old browser, you can step through presets, and they load in the device with preset-focus (that orange highlight). If the new browser would close every time you select a preset, that functionality would be gone. ...

But what about two screens I mean can anyone from ReasonStudios tell me that you can still detach the main mixer or the sequencer and drag it to the other screen? I would be shocked if that was removed. I would guess the buttons at the top are not mutually exclusive, and you can enable them all at ...

Agreed it would be nice.

The "automation toolbox" file is often shared as a workaround:

And stuff like Synchronous can sometimes work, if CV modulation is an option.
