REASON 9 May have been announced early !?

[mreese80]

Even if it turns out to be real there might be a set of features not advertised in the press release on synthopia. Also I expect a few point updates similarly as it happened with Reason 8.

I hope this to be the case because those updates are not going to get my funds. A serious audio editing update will have to be added or real time audio slicing before i spend another dime on Reason. Otherwise I'll just use Ableton & Akai than drap and drop whatever it is into Reason. I would rather do everything in Reason. I don't have to rewire anymore since all the daws I use now allow me to freeze midi. So wanting vst's in reason is no longer a want of mine as it used to be. I freeze the midi dry (no effects), drag & drop that audio right into reason straight from my daw than add those effects back onto the audio using reason fx's.

Some guys admitted to faking it for a laugh

So it was or wasn't fake?

There's only a finite amount of 'big' improvements any DAW developer can do. So we need to get used to each one from now on not being very exciting and maybe only upgrading every 2 or 3 full upgrades.

[stevan]

... what I can't accept is the reaction from Propellerheads itself on Twitter and Facebook . It could be so easy to saying - relax guys, it's a fake , we're not there yet , everybody calm down , but no ...

Reason should be up there with other daws. The audio editing update and real time audio slicing should not be a problem at all. Abelton and Akai have these features. All I'm asking for is an audio update. A kong update would also be nice but I'll be ok with just those audio features. I can make everything else work by using my others daws. I won't be getting more daws.

How do you know it was fake?

Didn't Joey say it was fake or am I mistaken?

I don't think he did.

they're not even near the state where they're going to be reaching for stuff to do or considering overhauling existing stuff though. reason as a DAW is still in a nascent stage opf development and there's plenty of basic funtionality to address, but they seem to have no interest in doing so.

i can't really get my head round it, they take a really difficult route of developing tehir own plugin standard to have something tehnically superior and then let the host languish in other areas of functionality that every other major DAW addressed in the last couple of upgrade cycles.

Hey man this sounds really interesting - could you explain how you're running this freeze/drag/drop thing? If I launch Reason and then Cubase will it bypass ReWire mode?

[dana]

Sounds more like a confirmation to be honest!

Lol! nobody does, but Propellerheads haven't announced Reason 9 on their site so chances are it wasn't real or it was just done to test the waters.

Yeah and then said he was only kidding. Nobody on here has that power I doubt, unless they work for Synthtopia.com. Unless you meant some other official person admitted it was fake?

[Reasonistas]

well, apparently since the fanbase let the company treat them like an ATM every 18-24 months they have no incentive to excel. let them meander about with their alihoopas and other mediocrity while the greatness and ambition that everyone saw in 6.5 fades away.

Boom! And the truth shall set you free. This is what the fanatics (Reason fanboys) refuse to wrap their minds around and concede to.

Like spending hundreds of dollars on existing already developed plugins they can only use in Reason. Shit is laughable!!

Reason fanboys unite!

you know they are talking sense Noel....question, why did you take the leak story off your reasonista's Facebook page? were you asked to? or were you informed the leak was fake?

[willowman]

starting any statement with the prefix 'Boom' makes any statement more profound.

Noel, obviously we're all entitled to opinions, but I don't have to agree or get into pointless debates. There's plenty of that here already.

As for the deleted Reasonistas post, I decided to wait until for the official Propellerhead statement rather than put out a red herring. It seems we'll soon find out though.

At this point we do not know if the content of that announcement is genuine or fake. So it's safer to assume that we still don't know anything.

for sure!!

So no inside scoop yeah i figure its real....but god damn if it is, its limited....again...i honestly thought thy wouldn't short change us after Reason 8

Well said, well said.

Fake or not fake, an update like that would make absolutely sense ... all these midi and audio to midi based functions and audio pitch editing, supporting the app world, esp. Take or Figure and obviously Allihoopa . You could make a whole song out of a single voice loop... even without a keyboard. It's a locical step in my opinion and absolutely believable ... the only thing what makes no sense for me is, why the Reason Rack should have darker gui options - I mean, it's black already ....

In the Akai MPC Software, we now have the ability to freeze midi. But once the audio is froze, it appears in ours samples list inside the software. From the list, We can drag the audio straight out of the software directly into any other daw. Yes, we can also freeze the midi and save it directly to desktop just in case you are wondering. We can also drag the midi data straight from the software into reason or any other daw also. The audio features in akai software is awesome. Everything i've been saying i would love to see added into reason i can already do in akai. I just like reason. This is why i no longer worry about using vsts in reason. i can easily freeze midi and drag into reason. No more rewiring for me.
