Re: tools or toys?

but where *should* they be spending their time? From our standpoint as users it is one thing, but the company is in this to make money after all. They will do whatever it takes to do that, and so will work on whatever marketing research dictates is the best bet. Not that Reason Studios disregard fo...

Re: reason 12 beta

It has nothing to do with skin thickness, all I've been trying to say this entire time is that they are trying something new with this beta program, it's not inevitable that they keep doing it, and based on how well they think it went is going to decide if they keep doing it or if they go back to w...

So if I say "Meh, not impressed yet...." Cool?
Not cool. That's a disclosure.
As it turns out I just watch a video posted by Ryan Harlan which discloses everything I looked at anyway. It has since been removed from my machine.

What exactly can't we discuss (in broad terms) about this Beta?
Anything that's not already public knowledge (I'd use ReasonStudios promo as a guide to what's publicly known).

Re: Reason 12 is coming!

Serious question: In my job as a Data Engineer, I use many, many tools to accomplish an end product.

Is this not really possible in Music Production, or do most people in that field pr...

Re: Reason 12 is coming!

Might be the end of point updates for perpetual license holders. Instead of 11.x you roll out a kind of pre-12 to incentivise subscriptions. Just a guess. This is what Corel do with their graphics software and it sucks. I know it's all just speculation but these are all the real reasons why sub ser...

Re: Reason+ FAQ: a handy reference

I didn't spot this in the FAQ, so I'll ask; if I take advantage of Reason Studios' offer of $99 per year, will that rate be every year I keep it or only the first year? It just says "50% off your first year..." I don't know what offers they might make in the future when renewing an annual subscript...

Re: (POLL) - Will you buy Algoritm?

My curious heart wants to continue to play with this since it is on trial. But I doubt I will buy it anytime soon, unless it hits a sale. Honestly it's probably not going to happen in light of "recent events" with Reason+, which I feel is the beginning of the end of perpetual licensing. Cakewalk's P...

Re: Migrated back to Windows after 13 years on Mac OS.

Personally, I have a 2012 Sweetwater Creation Station i5 Ivy Bridge that still runs great. Even better, I just "upgraded" it not long ago with a 500gb SSD system drive and a 1tb SSD for my projects drive and 24gb of memory (total of 28gb) -- all for under $250. It's up and running before I pull my c...

Re: Stupid Question about Grain

So then, for a given preset in the stock Grain install, there is an underlying wav file and it is stored where the samples are kept? I'm sure I'm not being as clear as I'd like, but I know I can drop a sample in and start with that from basically anywhere, but the samples that drive the various prov...

Re: Algoritm is released!

What is this "discount" you speak of? Would have been nice if you purchased PX7 that you would receive a discount on Algoritm. Algoritm seems to be a complete replacement for PX7. I have used PX7 quite a bit and after using Algoritm will probably never use PX7 again. Other than leaving it in old pr...
