Re: Assuming there's going be one, what you think is coming in Reason 13?

For more "serious" audio editing functionality I've switched over to Pro Tools, but I still think nothing beats Reason for ease of use, stability, sound design, and sheer fun and joy of tinkering, etc. How did you ever get any ‘serious’ audio editing done in Reason? You can’t draw the waveform (for...

Re: Assuming there's going be one, what you think is coming in Reason 13?

I personally am really not enthusiastic about a version 13 at all - I still think version 12 users deserve some long-needed QoL improvements and other DAW-centric improvements before I can feel like I've been given good value for my money. While Reason 12 obviously did bring lots to write home about...

Re: Reason updated and won't load previous VST

I'd love to be able to add comments in the sequencer window! I know there are rack extensions that allow you to do this but this is just not ideal and only serves as unnecessary clutter in the rack (though that frankly doesn't stop me from using them). This would easily allow you to append the kind...

Re: Reason updated and won't load previous VST

I hope you solve your problem. I often name tracks after the patch for this very reason. It has saved my a** more than once. I'd love to see Reason add the capability to append meta data to a track, so we can avoid polluting the track name with other data. Add in some additional QoL features to add...

Re: R12, 16 months on, ... how are you all finding it?

Reason 11 is still a lot faster opening and loading plugins and it gives me lower latency. Same is true on both macOS and Windows. I like some of the new features and addition of VST3 is nice though

Re: Dr. OctoRex Midi Triggering Issue

So some information to help: I've attached a screenshot with an example combinator with two factory sound bank Dr. OctoRexes. The first one with 16 slices, the second one with 11. These play their slices contiguously on the keyboard, starting at C1 Dr OctoRex plays slices back from C1 on the keyboa...

Re: Dr. OctoRex Midi Triggering Issue

Make sure you transpose three of the Dr OctaRex devices. For example if each device covered 12 samples/one octave, the first would be non-transposed and limited to notes 36-47, the second would be transposed down one octave but limited to notes 48-59, the third transposed down two octaves and limit...

Re: automation and track lanes: a total mess

I agree the sequencer is a dog's breakfast. But one handy thing I've learned is that if you want to change the name or the colour of a track, it's best to make the change in the sequencer lane. That way, the change will be replicated in the mixer and the rack (say, 95% of the time) I have yet to wr...

That's exactly what he means! I rarely have more than one percussion element on the same note lane!
