It does feel that way sometimes. I know your point about this earlier was pure speculation, but I do think the end game might be integrating 3rd party REs into Reason+ somehow--maybe by retooling the existing RE subscription plan as part of the service. To make that financially compelling for devel...

maybe reach out to companies like Output, Native Instruments, Splice, LoopCloud, etc - and see if you can work out deals to do some work for them as well. That's pretty much the reluctant plan B. Thing is, up until R+ was launched Reason Studios had by far the most accommodating third party ecosyst...

RS are becoming increasingly more brazen with their bs. In this next one, their devices are apparently so good that people are buying them like hot cakes even at no discount. The buyers probably find the REs in the secret shop by following the aroma. :D crackmeup.png If you read through the rewards...

Black Friday 2021 results are in and SKP's sales are down 46.1% on last year. That is worse than May Madness 2021 which was around 30% down. Considering the overall Reason userbase is supposed to be seeing exponential growth this is very concerning. Expectations for December/Season of Reason (if it'...

Yeah those are some FOX "news" worthy tinfoil hat conspiracy theories for sure!

Moving on from the tinfoil hattery... I just got a marketing email from RS pushing third party RE sales which is good to see!

With regards to Reason I think it’s fair to say a lot of us here are concerned about the future of the platform. I’ve no doubt we’re moving towards a subscription only model before very long. And when that happens how many people are going to stick around? Why invest on shaky ground? Makes no sense...

Maybe RS are trolling and they will have a massive BF sale actually on friday though it may be wishful thinking on my part? Unless there is a major change of heart I doubt that will happen. However on a hopeful note, it's not out of the question that they will do a more shop focused sale at Xmas. (...

That is certainly disheartening to hear. And as a HUGE fan of RE over VST and Reason over other DAWs, it pisses me off to hear it. :( You strike me as a dev (judging from posts I read from you) who keeps a close eye on your sales throughout the month, not just looking at your paycheck at the end of...

I'm curious how RS decision to leave all their products out of the sale will affect 3rd party sales. Obviously they will get a huge increase, as there aren't any RS REs to choose, but I'm just curious how much the numbers will increase. Maybe RS will take a look at that and realize it was a mistake...

Thanks Nick, much appreciated! Love your walkabout videos on YouTube by the way...

Cheers Stephen. I'll be out and about talking crap for the November update soon, and with this Black Friday situation I can feel a bit of a rant coming on!

New pack out today that accompanies the Cinematic Aura ReFill -

I guessing there'll be stuff added as the week goes on and the RS stuff will get added on Friday.

AFAIK RS RE's are not included in the Black Friday sale this year so it's looking pretty muted when compared to previous years.

The main issue I'm seeing at the moment is that new users coming in at the Reason+ entry point don't appear to be interested in RE's (at least not YET...) ... If I read that correctly, R+ only users actually seem to be blocked from buying REs at all. They aren't blocked from buying RE's or anything...

Hi Nick, on a more serious note I would like to thank you that you haven't abandoned the Refill format. As a big fan of Aura-7 I love this new Refill and hope to see a lot more Refills (may I dare say Rack Extensions) from you in the future. Cheers Cheers for the support Gosh. ReFills will continue...

I kind of thought they were using 'enabling tech' as fancy marketing lingo for what's already on the roadmap, like M1 support and VST3. As in, technology enabling us to use VST3 and M1 macs..

I thought the same. I didn't think it suggested anything that was directly exciting.

New ReFill "Cinematic Aura" is finally out! :) • 100 Combinator 2 Patches • 321 Found Sound & Field Recordings • Includes Aura-7 Combinator 2 Device https://youtu.be/qXbJJbr18mA For further information or to purchase check out the RS shop - https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/product/cinematic-aura/ ...

In the end you will have 20 completely different paintings. All of which are valid pieces of artwork. Try as you might to clone/...

Does anyone know if using the 75 euro's voucher works on the Pattern Mutator, and Zoetrope? Since they are LESS than 75 euros..

Yup, with a €75 voucher you can totally grab a freebie!

Re: Covid fall out. I thought Sweden had little or no lock downs? People were banging on about that down here anyway. AFAIK Sweden did have a fairly light touch with lockdowns, but regardless I'm pretty sure RS were mostly working from home and only recently got back into the office. I don't even k...

if it really is a new refill (and not a reason+ pack) then be sure to count me in...

It really is an actual, real life ReFill that doesn't require any subscriptions and it's coming out very soon!

We are getting the old Cyberpunk 2077 shaft from all the software companies these days. It is painfully obvious and concerning. That is the new normal. In RS's case I'm pretty sure that all these issues being attributed to the move to agile development are in fact a hangover from the Covid control ...

Then they should leave out the Soundpacks etc. and concentrate on the essential things... Very bad start of the roadmap. If you still didnt noticed it, the packs are mostly (or all) made by other sound designers and sound designing is NOT code writing, so do not expect a sound designer to write cod...

Cheers folks. Glad to hear people are making use of the patches. I have a cinematic beat pack queued up for next month which should be something a little bit different. Also incoming is a new ReFill that expands on the Autumnal Aura pack and the Aura-7 RE which should be out in early December so kee...
