I've built gaming systems from scratch but now that the chips have become so powerful my plan is to buy a silent ARM system such as an M1 Macbook Air and never look back. A completely silent system that does everything I need is the new base level even if sacrificing a little power for the silence.

2021 and you read that right. I run DAWs on both platforms and I promise you the ASIO situation totally horrendous on multiple levels. Consider these ASIO drivers are something each manufacturer has to continually keep updated for various reasons and provide endless download support for their end us...

I unfortunately cannot recommend this or any Windows build for the purpose of audio. I use Windows for plenty of applications but my Macs, even old ones, are the clear winners when it comes to audio production. As an OS Windows is a bloated joke of spyware and marketing. It still has no driver after...

While I voted No there is a possibility. If the price were right (say about $10) and it included a vast collection of amazing presets the value would be hard to resist.

For those learning Reason there is a Combinator Elephant in the room here which you've all experienced, something confusing and un-intuitive at the most basic level of UI design: Combinators having inconsistent behavior and appearing unexpectedly within the workflow of Reason. For example a Combina...

sorry to hear. I am pretty sure Compact is just more vaporware from RS - closest Reason for iOS is an app called "Caustic"

other daws have been doing this right for a long time, so why not Reason? funny thing is in addition to making customers happy this would also optimize server use on Reason Studios side of things since selective plug-in management means less data would be transmitted

I wish they would drop Codemeter and copy protection from Reason so it could be discovered by the world like Reason 5. The way things are now nobody will ever find out about it or be able to try it out. Just knowing Codemeter is running makes me uncomfortable.

I voted yes because Reason as a DAW has become irrelevant to me for most production purposes. I'm real happy pulling up my RE's in Logic and Ableton, and will pay to continue this functionality. What I won't be paying for are more devices, synths, and upgrades to the DAW that continue to not live up...

While I understand them I just don't see Players as a big deal or something I care about very much. The meat and potatoes of a DAW is not the synths or enhancements like the Players. As a musician and producer my main interests are the live recording of audio and MIDI performance, then editing, mixi...

I'm just going to avoid any RS stuff in collabs, or bake my effects into the audio and not tell anyone. I do not "subscribe" to software licences of any kind and I am adopting a less is more attitude regarding music production, meaning I am comfortable with just about any effects on any platform and...

In a recent Ableton Live 10 collaboration I chose to use some of my own plug-ins via the r11 lite rack within Ableton, using Kuassa, Softube, and McDSP. I knew these tracks would need to be frozen for collaboration since the other person didn't have the same plug-ins, but I moved forward anyways. T...

Reaper is a fantastic and affordable DAW developed by people who care. That said, as an Ableton, Logic, and Reason user I don't currently have it installed.

When Adobe ruined everything I didn't complain much; I just bought Affinity Photo and got on with my life. That's because I never invested much into the Adobe platform. When it finally came time for me to buy Photoshop and After Effects the programs were no longer being sold. The end result is simpl...

something is bugging me. A new user pays $20 and gets access to all - yet veteran users who have paid hundreds or thousands on the platform get nothing? pretty sure RS didn't really think this through And the moment they stop paying they don't get to keep using the devices. it's a trap, don't let i...

As a long time Reason user and current user of the Reason Plug-In my suggestion for your Windows DAW conceptual breakthru experience is obtaining a license for Ableton Live Lite, then upgrading it over time to Suite.

got the email, deleted it without reading. I have some very deep concerns about Reason Studios and the email I got about Marshall headphones isn't one of them.

lol you guys.. Most musicians I know couldn't even tell you what an FM synth is, let alone care. Glad you get my point

That would be exciting. There are two issues here that seem to be causing problems: 1. the amount of development itself and 2. the sales behavior of Reason Studios. I get the sense that people are just fed up with both. A new synth could be an exciting event but when it is delivered during a time p...

Not tiresome but rather just getting started--when a vendor takes this much advantage of their users the people make noise. This trend is growing because unlike the forums Propellerhead Software destroyed back in the day people want to be heard and now have the tech to do it whether the vendor like...

This never ending "they don't listen blah...." is really tiresome, to say the least. Because they do listen ? Tell me how many of the gazillion features suggested in the old PUF have been genuinely considered, listened to, or brought to life ? They don't give a damn about whatever we want or need. ...
