Re: Reason 12.2.1 Release Notes

No one should feel pressured into buying something if it’s not working correctly on their system right now, by all means wait, but these issues will get fixed. They have to. It’s not just us regular 2 year cycle upgraders anymore, it’s also monthly subscribers; Their whole business model now depends...

Re: Reason 12.2.1 Release Notes

I know we still have a ways to go, but I'm glad to see a new update so soon after release. The quicker we get this rebuilt Reason foundation stabilized again, the better. It was always such a defining trait of the program. One nice improvement I've noticed is that multi-core audio rendering is now w...

Re: What are the RE must haves?

I love the DR-1, and like you I would totally buy it again if it had a VST version. I picked up ReLab's Sonsig Rev-A and got LX480 Essentials as a freebie and those are both really, really nice... but the DR-1 is just so nice. On a related note - I believe the DR-1 is based on the QRS, albeit with ...

Re: What are the RE must haves?

I forgot to mention DR-1 Deep Reverb. I love that thing and if Synapse made it into a VST I would buy it immediately just so I could have an excuse to buy it twice. I kind of regret buying the Relab LX480 because while it may be the most accurate, I actually prefer DR-1's interpretation of that sty...

Re: What's happened to us (/them)? ... (10 years after discovering RE trademark and patent)

Do you think you could ratchet up the hysteria a bit more? I feel like we've almost achieved Peak Drama but we're not quite there yet. I've got some nice Holocaust comparisons you can use if you like No proper Reason thread would be complete without some handwringing melodrama and a future shadowed...

Re: IK Multimedia 25th Anniversary Group Buy - Get up to 25 products for the price of 1!

Yeah that last level seemed to take a good few days to break through. There’s still 15 or so things I’d like to have. It is tempting to buy back in at $100 level and clean up the rest of the t-racks… but I guess deep down I am still considering grabbing the R12 update before the end of the month … ...

Re: IK Multimedia 25th Anniversary Group Buy - Get up to 25 products for the price of 1!

I wasn't following it at the time, but apparently over 2700 people suddenly jumped into the GB in the final 3 days of last month. I suppose another month extension is possible if something like that happens again, but I still think it has lost too much momentum to get there. I'll be surprised if it ...

Re: Reason 12 has arrived

It's kind of a shame RS can't release at least a solid bugfix/optimization patch before Sep 31st. It might help convince hesitant upgraders to do so before the price goes up. What makes you think that there will not be an update before the...uh...30th? There is a beta update out now. I'm sure somet...

I think we'll be lucky if it hits 18K at this rate. Even so, it's been a fun ride and I definitely feel like I've gotten my money's worth. This GB ended up being quite a bit more successful than I was expecting.

Re: My opinion if you're on the fence about upgrading before Oct 1

It’s almost like there’s collective amnesia here every release cycle. For most of Reason’s history the upgrades do not represent that version in its final form. There will typically be 18 to 24 months of bug fixes, feature and workflow enhancements and often a free device of some kind. It’s not like...

Thanks for that. Still probably ok for someone like me haha. I was just going to maybe get the 81 just cause it seems more versatile. I went for the EQ 73 first, because MixBox also contains the EQ 81 and there isn't much difference between the EQ 81 T-Racks version and the EQ 81 MixBox version. Wi...

Re: IK Multimedia 25th Anniversary Group Buy - Get up to 25 products for the price of 1!

I've been really surprised at this group buy. I think I went in on one for IK years ago, and I think it only got up to like 3 for 1. Here's hoping we hit 2 or 3 more before the end of the month. I haven't really dug into SampleTank yet but (as a hobbyist) I've been pretty impressed with the stuff s...

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

Well, by keeping the price at $129 for 20 years, the upgrade price has been going down each year. $200 today is worth a little less than $129 in 2000. Upgrades used to cost $99. You also have to take into consideration that you got everything when you upgraded back then. Now they withhold devices a...

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

I’m glad I upgraded when I did. Considering the way many online companies have been operating these days, I actually think RS is raising prices to give themselves increased headroom to run promotions, discounts and sales more frequently. On Black Friday they’ll sell the upgrade at the “discounted” p...

Selig Gain. It’s so fundamentally useful and well thought out that it should be included with every version of Reason as a stock device.

Anyone get the American Acoustic library and recommend it? I’ve been looking for some decent acoustic guitar samples and the examples sound rather nice.

I hadn't revisited IKM's products in a while and after various trials there's actually some good stuff there. I really like Mixbox and some of the new T-Racks modules are excellent.
