Sequencer lag

Hi all! I jumped from R12 to R14. I found out that when the sequencer occupies more than 50% of the screen, everything becomes laggy: scrolling, VU meters, timeline progression. When I display only a small section of the sequencer, everything is fine. This doesn’t affect audio latency. It seems that it’s an UI issue, probably related to GPU drivers ?!. Pc specs: i9, 32GB RAM, RTX 5070ti, Focusrite 18i6. Any suggestions would help. Thank you

[BUG] Arpeggiator player not initialised on first beat when bouncing

Must be a bug, I'm using reason rack extension in logic pro and when I use the arp player it doesn't work on the first beat and instead plays midi like normal when bouncing out the track. This happens even in the middle of a project if I bounce out. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there any way I can make a bug report?

I'm running MacOS and Reason 13

14; is it worth it?

This might sound Ludacris, but I’ve been using reason 5 for such a long time and finally bought a MacBook Pro that can handle the later versions and I’m looking forward to upgrading. However, I see that some people are disillusioned with reason 14 and I’m wondering if I can get the same results with an earlier version like 12 or 13.
I know it would only be saving me so much money but 14 is $300 and I would like some peace of mind if I’m going to pocket dump on that or get an earlier, capable version that isn’t as much.
I plan on using the upgrade for tracking vocals, hardware, and other analog equipment alongside the instruments that are programmed.

Upgraded to 13 on February 26th

... Just two days before an upgrade would make me eligible to get 14.

Wrote to the staff to ask politely for an "exception" (I've been a supporter for the last 20 years after all), but no words from them. Nothing, so I take it as a NO.

Do I have a chance? Is anyone in a similar situation? It's not just for the money, it's an issue of principle. And the silence on their behalf, well...

I may be blind but no FLAC on Windows?

I just recently compressed much of my audio library into FLAC from WAV... Then I tried importing one of those files into Reason13.

Is there STILL no support for FLAC on Windows?

Orcehstral intro before drop, does it work??

Trying out longer intros, more thought went into this one but one thing after another and it ended up fully orchestral! I started by time stretching the choir midi from 2 bars to 4 bars effectively doubling the time it took to complete a loop (Humana vocals Reason plugin). Then I added NN-XT advanced samples from Reason plugins for the orchestra, violin, cello, trombone and percs. I can add more to the crescendo but I wanted to see if this was a good direction before spending anymore time on it.

I can always try something else, so what do you think? Does it work with this tune or nah?

Just upgraded to 14 and…

Something strange happened…some of my VST’s which would always crash and had to be used in Studio 8 Pro now work!🤩
Whatever you’re doing, keep it up! Still wrapping my head around the new features and changes, but the program launches in under 15 seconds where 13 would occasionally take upwards of 10 minutes 🤬Thank you!

What am I missing? AKA Arturia Jup-8 v3

The stand alone version works fine. But ever since I upgraded to 13, it hasn't shown up. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted, downloaded, etc. Nothing has worked. The rest of my Arturia products work fine. But not this one.

I upgraded to 14 today and was met with the same result.

What am I missing here? Is something no longer being supported?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

SOLVED:

https://help.reasonstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/11294327356306-My-VSTs-are-missing-in-Reason-12-and-later-on-my-Apple-Silicon-Mac-what-s-up?utm_id=97757_v0_s00_e0_tv2_a1demoo4ck2q7n

Get info on Reason 14. Select "Open in Rosetta" and it fixed all the problems I had. That took way too long to figure out, but at least it's working now. Sigh.

Same approach to Ableton. "Open in Rosetta" fixed it as well.

UPDATE:

I found an article about the order of installation of the Arturia instruments. I removed all existing files and installed only the latest version and no old versions. Same result. Works fine in Reason 12, but not 13 or 14.

Checked file paths, preferences and permissions. All seems good. This one has me baffled.

Thanks to everyone who's sent suggestions. I was hoping it wouldn't take all weekend to fix, but I guess if it actually started working it would be worth it.

Free Combinator synth - inspired by the Swarmatron

I saw a video about the Swarmatron, thought it was a really cool concept for a synth and wanted to have something like it in Reason. So I made my own!

The basic idea is having multiple oscillators which are slightly detuned from one another and which can be made gradually more detuned, resulting in a swarming bees/wasps type of sound.

Here’s a YouTube video demo: https://youtu.be/mHjhfRmik90?si=s96nONeyqJtLa1Go

It's available for free on Gumroad, link is in the YouTube video description (I can’t post it directly here since Reddit blocks it)

It was created in Reason 12 using only stock devices.

Bass similar to Revolting Cocks, Meat Beat Manifesto, etc.

Does anyone know of a patch to recreate this bass sound that was prevelent in 80's 90's EBM and industrial? I've been looking but nothing comes close.

Recording from a Drum Pattern Sound Pack

I'm a complete amateur, total dabbler using R14. I don't understand how to use a sound pack that contains a Combinator with a Drum Sequencer along with a bunch of instruments & effects. (The specific one I'm looking at is the Algoritim Beats pack.)

I don't know how to record it to a track. Send to Track from the Drum Sequencer writes midi to the track but then there's no sound when it plays. Trying to record it as if it's audio doesn't work either. (These are both Google search suggested methods.)

I assume I'm missing something fundamental so would be grateful if someone can point out what.

Removing the screws from Subtractor rack panel

is still possible in 14... In the 00s easter eggs were pretty common (Cool Edit and Audition had some really good ones).

At any rate, are there any other hidden jokes in Reason's modern versions that you discovered?
