r/reasoners

Hi guys, I've been a Reason user since version 2. Then I moved to version 7 and I successfully used it for many years. Now I'd like to move to the last version (14) and I can update it paying 79 euro, that's a great deal. But I see that recently Reason has joint Landr and they offer a subscription for R+ and Landr services and samples all together and this is interesting, as I have Landr studio pro and I like it. As a person who usually keep a daw version for many years, you think is it better to simply update to 14 or I can update it and also subscribe to R+ and Landr in order to have more stuff and save money unsubscribing the landr studio pro? I see that R+ has also lot more than standard reason 14. If subscribe for a few months and then I unsubscribe, will I lost all the samples I used or can I keep them (as I do with landr samples credits)? Thank you for your help.

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.

... 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 built a spectral EQ/resonance suppression rack extension (think Soothe), and I want to share it with my friends, but it seems like the only way to do so is to publish and list it in the Reason store. While listing and selling it sounds great, I don't know whether I'd have the bandwidth to address bugs in a timely manner. I heard there's an invite-only beta testing feature, but that it works in increments of 30 days. Is there a way to privately share a rack extension without forcing people to download Recon?

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!

I plan on getting a MacBook and am unsure if the later M-series is necessary. They’re all 16GB RAM but I’m not sure if M4 is necessary; does anyone use M1 or M2 efficiently with Reason 13-14?

I run my projects at 96kHz. I don't want to ever render my tracks at 44.1kHz. The popup dialogue should always match what you're settings are set to by default. It's a small nitpicky thing, but it's something I notice nearly every time I go to render a file. Also, I feel like it's just another thing new producers have to know to do or risk their renders sounding different to their projects without knowing why.

Again, super nitpicky, but I've been using this software since R5 and I'm kinda over it.

Better yet, just store the last setting you used to render and have it persist between full app closures. It currently persists so long as you leave the app running.

Disclaimer, this is a hypothetical scenario and more of a convo starter for the sub.

I've thought long about who out of my favorite "celeb" producers right now, could be the face of Reason. And ended up with BAAUER.

He's got bangers, is super competent and versatile as a producer. He's not "too nerdy" and got an entertaining persona, and has many years of streaming and clip farming under his belt.

How about y'all?

I don't know how you all feel but I've been waiting for this for a long time. Focusing on just the elements of a single track coupled with the Track Panel side bar feels like such a game changer.

It’s so nice to have a vst synth or whatever open while you are looking at the sequencer view. It’s superior to how REs are handled.

I have received an info email from Reasons Studios about the Reason 14 release. There was the information that "As a Reason 13 owner, you can move to Reason 14 with a special upgrade price."

When I clicked on the web page I saw the price of 79 euros. However, I see the same price even though I am not signed in to my account.

So what is the standard upgrade price? Has anyone received the same email?
