Re: UK Reason+ pricing

The taxes are shown, they are just 0. What country did you ordered from? Poland. And they'd laugh me off in the tax office if I came there saying I want to pay taxes on a VST or DAW :D "Well, Mr. Black - we've decided that rather than pursue Amazon and Google for unpaid tax, we'd concentrate on you...

UK Reason+ pricing

As a UK user, it annoys me when the pricing structure seems to think that $20 equates to £20. It's actually just £14.61. Or if you prefer, £20 is $27.39.

Why does the UK get ripped off like this?

Re: Ignition Key bites the dust on Mac - with no plans to fix

During happier times, I use Reason on my laptop at live gigs. Am I right in thinking that Reason+ requires internet log-in every time? This is a bit awkward when you're on stage. If this is the case, it's a dealbreaker.

Re: Reason Rack works inside Reason using Nektarine

I don't have Reason 11, but do have a Panorama T4 with Nektarine. Isn't RRP a VST3 (which ironically Reason still doesn't recognise)?

Midi keyboard not working in one song/project

I open a new project, add say a Thor and the keyboard (Nektar PanoramaT4) works fine. Then I open one specific project and no midi information is getting through from it, yet the on-screen keyboard works. Go back to the new project and the keyboard is working. What might have gone wrong here? Though...

Re: So, are you getting Reason 11 Standard, Suite or not upgrading?

When I pay my €129 I also pay for the upcoming point updates. Imo they're usually just as good, sometimes even better then the initial new Reason upgrade. (The last optimization was one of the best improvements for me). So if I'm gonna pay for an update anyway, why not get the new features as right...

Re: So, are you getting Reason 11 Standard, Suite or not upgrading?

Most underwhelming full price update since 8.0. If you don't use another DAW, it's two new effects and a couple of sequencer features. Whoop-dee-doo! Plus in making Reason a VST3 plug-in (which ironically Reason can't run), you might as well say that Reason will never be a 'professional' DAW but now...

Re: Reason 10.4 Update

I'm not going to complain about new stuff. These are pretty handy basic devices intended to integrate with Reason Compact so you can use it as a sketchpad and then export it to the full Reason. That's probably all I might use them for because I have so many options already. In fact, I'm suffering op...

Re: This Is What The D-50 Patches Sound Like In Omnisphere 2.6

Talk of the JP8080 brings back painful memories. I had mine stolen from a flat in London in Sept 2000, along with a Korg Prophecy and my PC. But thanks to that disaster, I decided to check out what this new Reason program with its harder to steal software synthesisers could do.

Re: Latency that gets worse on PC with USB interface.

I’ve noticed that a new driver was released in the last few weeks. I’ll see if that improves anything. Firmware is up to date.

Thinking I might buy another cheap PCI M-Audio Delta on eBay as that worked fine, even in W10.

Re: Latency that gets worse on PC with USB interface.

The Delay Comp button was on and switching it off got back to instant midi. Does it automatically determine what the delay is - because it's a rather high looking 3498 at the moment? Haven't really got used to that being there - I just thought 'what the hell - switch it on'.

Latency that gets worse on PC with USB interface.

The problem - I can open a new project, add say a piano and playing the keyboard will be instantaneous (or near as dammit). However, as I introduce more tracks, the latency gets worse. The audio playback of the project is also delayed - which makes editing anything like drums very awkward. I'm getti...

Yes, done all that. But even when there's nothing playing, the DSP meter is randomly going up and down. Looked under Task Manager at it says Reason CPU usage is about 20%.

It's just rubbish at the moment. It tells me it can't find some files because I must have moved them since i started the song. So I point it to exactly where the file is and ... it starts to search my whole computer :x . Have a look at Cubase for an intelligent search function.

Re: Rigs updated to v3!

I have the Mixing and Mastering Rig 2 and there's not much there to tempt me for 99 Euros. I have more than I need already with all the extra VST options. We really need customisable rigs that let you take out REs you already have and replace it with something else of comparative value.
