Given the title of the thread, I really hope it isn't a surprise to you that I take this as a compliment. Reason cheese is the best in the world. If you want to insult me, you couldn't be more misguided.mr44khz wrote:Dang, I never thought i'd see a dude who eats more PH and Reason cheese than enochlight congrats!
Come on Theo, Mate. If this really is a problem, just use some of the onboard modules instead. The alternatives are plenty (such as combinators or Refills). REs are just additional gadgets, they are and will never be significant limitations to Reason.TheoM wrote:Are you joking? And regarding the RE thing, please.

And even if there are small issues here and there, you have to compare these minor issues to the major advantages gained such as the modular environment in general and it's endless possibilities.
And in time, the issues will be fixed anyway. Reason fans need something to look forward to like everybody else even if there are only insignificant problems yet to be resolved.

Poor misguided Reason fanboy's, holding to their "stability" argument. 
My main tools: Kontakt, Omnisphere, Samplemodeling + Audio Modeling. Akai VIP = godsend. Tari's libraries also rock.

"fanboy's" (what?) or just fanboys? And since I have not put any stability argument forward, maybe you should quote a post in this thread where it is if you will like to make sense.Ben H wrote:Poor misguided Reason fanboy's, holding to their "stability" argument.
In addition, since Reason is quite stable, the "argument" is actually valid.
Finally, a true Reason fanboy just loves Reason and need not to defend himself or argue againts anyone to do so. I think you mistake people's reasons for loving Reason with arguments. This thread obviously isn't a debate club, but a thread for fanboys.

Well it certainly *used to be* really stable. That obviously changed since they built Record from the ground up and then re-branded it as Reason. The dongle and copy protection system is coded by another company, so I guess they can't be blamed for it, but it is a cause of stability problems/driver conflicts for some. I've had to uninstall it completely now, it just didn't work reliably. A pity, because it was once a beautiful piece of software in so many ways.Ben H wrote:Poor misguided Reason fanboy's, holding to their "stability" argument.

Obviously? Heh! I must be the lucky exception to the rule then. Never had a crash in Reason (with or without dongle) and I am on version 6.5.headquest wrote:Well it certainly *used to be* really stable.

But in case you are serious in your question (which I doubt) then I guess some of the things DAW users would want to see include:
+ A superior sampler. So far as I know Kontakt, HaLion and Mach Five haven't been ported to RE yet (will they ever I wonder, given the rumoured poor sales of RE?) so Reason users are left with the 12-year-old NN-XT ... STILL. And no decent orchestral samples, etc. For a lot of musicians that is a deal breaker.
+ Video support is a must for most semi-serious musicians these days, and is regarded as a pretty basic feature that even freebie and inexpensive starter DAW packages usually include (Cakewalk, Reaper, Magix, Mixcraft, etc) although I accept YMMV.
+ Input/output File formats, uploading to the internet/SoundCloud, etc
+ Professional audio editing
+ PDC, Freeze, etc etc.
There's loads of reasons people prefer one DAW over another. Not everyone thinks the way you think, not everyone produces the niche genres where Reason excels, and not everyone works the way you work.
Also, to switch from one DAW to another, for most people who aren't gear whores with too much time on their hands, is a last resort thing to do requiring either the existing DAW to go badly wrong, or for a new one to be genuinely revolutionary, which Reason at this point isn't - although it has unique features from 10 years ago, at this point each update is just playing catch up with other DAWs in basic areas of music production.
But like I said, I'm guessing it wasn't a serious question
