You can use external filters obviously, like this for example: https://shop.propellerheads.se/product_ ... -classics/Winstontaneous wrote: - Many of the ancient instruments including Subtractor are fun and useful but the old filters sound like cardboard (and I mean the thin cereal box stuff, not a burly corrugated refrigerator box ), especially on the Dr. Rex loop player. These were developed when computers were about 10X slower and had much less RAM. Would love to see an optimized update for all the old devices.
You can use Control Room or - even better - route sends to separate mixer tracks, that you can then solo, bounce, etc.Winstontaneous wrote: - Don't think there's a way to solo FX returns
Yes, you can - just tick the "Rec Source" button on given mix channel(s), create new audio track, select that channel(s) as a input for audio track, hit record. It's as easy as in Live, actually.Winstontaneous wrote: - Realtime sampling is cool but there's no simple way to record arbitrary combos of tracks/master as audio in realtime - this is so easy in Ableton ("Resampling" input on an audio track) or Reaper ("Receive from all tracks"). NOT talking about render or bounce in place - I mean old-school analog style where you record what you're hearing in realtime either as stems or stereo mix).

Frankly, most of your "don't like" points are a result of you thinking about Reason in terms of "regular" DAW instead of approaching it like a modular system. Sure, sometimes it's few more clicks, but it's very flexible once you understand it
