Re: Meteora Is Free Before Removal From Shop

Once I jumped into old Citroen CV. The suspension was too soft, acceleration was just shitty, no comfort with the wheel, etc .. I said: terrible car, the worst I drove so far. One man said: harsh words, can you make better one? By the way. There must be reason that developer gives it away. Probably ...

Re: New Pricing for Reason 12 - Upgrades now 199 from 129

Everything goes to the subscription model. The price of Reason was pretty high in comparison to other DAWs. Now R12 is going to be almost the priciest one. Rack Extensions cost millions. Drum Sequencer 75 Euro - are you kidding me? It's worth 19. It is the policy of CEO. Force people to buy subscipt...

Re: Most overrated and underrated VST developers (can list specific VSTs too)

I consider Waves Malware, ever since my laptop was bundled with a shitty Waves "enhancer" (with maxxbass, of course) as the default multimedia sound wrapper in a way that could not be easily removed. At least I could turn it off, but it's always sitting there in my system tray, like a goblin. :P Bu...

Some crazy talk going on here! of course subjectivity is important, but let's keep it on planet Earth. Fabfilter & Izotope are both top-tier, they make tools for professionals.

Re: Most overrated and underrated VST developers (can list specific VSTs too)

Honest question: what EQ do you think is equal in quality, features and workflow to Pro-Q3? I will check it out. there’s a reason I included the word functionality. that means similar workflow and usability. Pro-Q3 is a very pricey piece of software and in fact has a speedy workflow. No doubt about...

That was an obvious Arturia miscoding. After an hour I'd got a message from the Arturia rep my license was restored. Now It's working OK.

I decided to remove Lite version from my account and the algorithm removed both versions so after paying money I have no product!!!!!!! This is a SCANDAL!!!!!!...

Re: Reason as a DAW - the future

Your view is generally right but a bit to spicy IMHO. I've made over 100 commercial tracks on Reason and I really like the "Reason Concept" All they need to do is to accomodate to the new reality. The Reason Agenda should be scalable GUI . If only Reason Studios had taste buds in their deaf ears my...

Re: Reason as a DAW - the future

This release shows three things about Reason we have been witnessing with each new version for years now: 1. The company and developers do not care about what you want. There is no relationship between the features that are released and the features that are requested. 2. Reason programmers are stu...

Re: did anyone test the reason 11 plugin in reaper daw? i can't find it anywhere in the track fx window

Check Reaper Preferences (ctrl-P) and your plugins folders: Plug-ins/VST
You should find in your computer the folder "Reason Rack Plugin.vst3"
It should be placed in one of the folders defined in your Preferences

Re: Reason as a DAW - the future

Reason has no future as a DAW but has a future as a VST Plugin. I had that prophetic view at least 5 years ago and at that time I was ridiculed. (it was the time of currently nonexistent Reason Forum) Now Reason is VST Plugin - I WAS RIGHT. You will find the prove in my old posts. And now the answer...

Re: IKMultimedia plug-ins: Quality or $1 crap?

IK plugins are very high quality plugins. No cheats. They are comparible to Waves - I believe. I can smell some kind of copying of Waves behavior. Neve EQ are better than Waves API EQ are worse than Waves SSL Comp is a copy of Waves but it's a bit a bit worse. Tape plugins are better than Waves. Cha...

Re: Announcing Reason 11

Since ca. 6 years even before Reasontalk existed I predicted that Reason will end up as a VST plugin. Kinda prophet? No :) I was thinking in a very reasonable way. The code of Reason is unreformable. The distance between Reason and the rest grows. VST implementation was the suicide. The next logical...

It's very limited and mediocre plugin. If you want the real thing - IK Leslie is the way to go. I went ahead and tried the demo of both. Nah!! Not for me. I’m actually set with Psyclone :).
