I'm with miscend - afaik the update was to take advantage of the SDK improvements. Did I miss something?

There may be. Check out the molecule in OP's avatar ...

Oops my organic chemistry is getting rusty, l think this is closer and probably more available - visuals can sometimes be way more powerful than LSD:

OP - hope you had a good time!

Oh, our lovely friend Mandy. <3

But yes - why are you seeing high resolution Reason? Did you upgrade from Reason 3 or something?

Which part of the program are you talking about and which versions of Reason are you comparing?

I got a MacBook Pro 15 two or three months ago got the 2nd to best one available only thing that separates it was 500gb hard drive vs a tb so I'm essentially I purchased the top tier MacBook (as of three or so months) and before that I had a windows operated msi a500 but to get to my point going from a Windows to Mac, yes the graphics are so much better all the devices look polished and it seems like your upgrading but that's just how they designed it for Macs since I got the laptop there has been absolutely no difference in graphics maybe he switched to a Mac from pc and experienced what I did noticing the quality difference with how it looks?

That's just the OS scaling. There's no additional detail there.

Compare how sharp the fonts are in the tape strip, and the patch display, to the fonts in the device graphics.

i'm not saying i have more detail than anybody else, just that i can see the detail properly now


the difference could be subtle for some mac laptop retina users


i remember some people couldn't notice the difference between retina and non retina on the macs when it first came out
