Re: Possible to Install Rack Extensions and Content to external drive?

OK. I have iMac 27 i7 with fusion drive (those good old times, when fusion drive was based on 128 GB) since 2012. Never had any problem. I totally don't know where files go, it just works ;) As I remember, applications always go to SSD drive.

Re: Bitspeek is amazing

I purchased Rig and frankly saying, always considered Bitspeek and Sugarbyte RE as shittiest part of the synth rig. Never ever found it useful.

Better: create fusion drive with your main drive and capable sdxc card put into Air slot ;)

Re: Have Softube raised the price of FET?

You can buy three Softube compressors for 199 (or 99 for each): https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/effects/vintage-compressors/ Needless to say about NI sales... You can have 8 good compressors with lots of tweaking and great GUI for just 150 bucks from other vendors: https://w...

Reason 11 Suite upgrade to regular Reason 12?

Hello,
I have Reason 9. When I upgrade to Reason 11 Suite, will I have to keep suite versions or is it possible to update to regular Reason 12?

Re: is there a way to improve midi latency?

Just noticing in my setup OSX & Scarlett 18i20, seems to be a bit of a MIDI drag when using reason and the 18i20's MIDI out. I'm connecting an Arturia MiniLab MK2 to USB hub, which communicates to the 18i20 over that hub. Try to use midi ports, not usb. I have Alesis Trigger, it's transmit notes no...

Go Bitwig! It's a perfect mix between what makes Live and Reason great in their own right (check the tutorial in my signature, if you're interested) :)
Does it have rewire? Studio One works with Reason very well.

Re: Rigs v4 in the Shop!

1. That would include more and more RE for the same price? 2. Reason 10 is great! It's not the same price - it's Rig price + upgrade price. This is how it works in whole world. Native Instruments, Arturia, Ableton, Rob Papen etc etc. Some of the REs use the updated SDK so that’s why it’s not compat...

Re: Rigs v4 in the Shop!

1. I don't understand weird Rigs policy: that shuffling REs between Rigs 2, 3 and 4. Why it couldn't be just upgrade, with all previous RE included?
2. I would like to upgrade to Synth Rig 4, but it's not compatible with Reason 9. It says to upgrade whole Reason first. Really?

Re: 10.3 is out!

The UI is still extremely sluggish on my Macbook Pro. Might even be worse than before the update. Is anyone else seeing this? We've found two things that can help here. Running Reason in Low-Res mode (right-click Reason app, get info, tick the box) and a weird connection to color profiles in macOS....

Re: Panorama P6 Has Gone Janky

Mine P4 had a midi leakage just before became doorstep. Midi leakage - I mean there was no separation between midi channels 1-3. There were also many weird actions (like screen artefacts).

Re: Trying to decide: Reason, Sampletank or Kontakt

Kontact's bundled content probably isn't going to get you to where you want to be. If you're going to pick up Kontact, I'd suggest instead picking up a copy of Komplete used (you can get it on KVR) instead of Kontact by itself. +1 Reason sample libraries are outdated and nasty. Kontakt is top notch...

I think the only thing that battery actually gives to Reason users are the included samples.
Not only. Battery has better FX and you can assign midi notes to cells as you wish.

Re: Solving Perfomance Issues

I assume you already have set "Graphics card switching" to disabled? If that's on, as it is by default, it'll kill your performance. This Macbook has single GPU. It cracks like hell without hitting CPU more than 2-3 bars. Ableton Live 8 and Presonus Studio One 3 Pro flies like arrow on this machine...

Re: Solving Perfomance Issues

Thanks for your answer [emoji848]not sure if I am in low resolution mode actually. Is that available on the Mac version as well? It's available on Mac OSX running on Retina screens. It's an OS feature (handy for apps that have performance issues): https://www.idownloadblog.com/2016/06/24/launching-...

Re: Reason Slow Performance - when is optimisation coming?

Totally different: Reason "bounce in place" works like rendering track and puting it back to project just as rendered wav, without ability to edit your instrument or efect. You just got huge audio sample. In other DAWs freezing preserves whole track with midi, instruments, effects, automations etc....

Re: Reason Slow Performance - when is optimisation coming?

To reduce CPU overhead in Reason, I very often use "bounce in place" and then disable the related plugins. This definitely helps to reduce CPU load. How is this different than a "freeze" (I've never used freeze in another DAW)? Totally different: Reason "bounce in place" works like rendering track ...

Ouch, looks like they finally stopped updating 9.x. I guess I won't be upgrading to Mojave until Reason 11, then.
I understand lack of updates, but it's a bit shocking that 64bit Reason will not run under Mojave (it's just one step from High Sierra).

The following products are NOT compatible with macOS Mojave:

What is wrong with Reason 9.5 ?
