More stable Reason vs FL?

[Tannaliini]

Using windows: which one you would say is more stable/crashes less: Reason or FL? I have heard FL crashes quite often with Mac. But what’s the situation with windows?

[Yorrrrrr]

Reason should me more stable, regardless of the platform. It's always been an enclosed environment, until they opened it for VST support.

FL Studio 20 for the win!

Have you tried Reaper? Or Bitwig?

obviously, that's why he's/she's looking for something else

you are comparing the god of the stable software with FL

I don't know FL, but it is very rare to see Reason crashe

FL latest version is very stable. Actually fl since 20 is very stable. Before it was hit and miss. Keep in mind that stability issues are mostly because of faulty plugins.

I am heavily using both and i have like VST from 60 different companies.

I don't have any crashes whatsoever - with any of them. Literally everything is working just fine. Been using ilok plugins, U-he, NI, even old Powercore via jbridge.

Both just works fine.

Lets say it this way.. Either Reason or Fls have never crashed on my use, as long as I've kept with native synths and fx. And neither is without issues, when it comes to third party vst's.

Are you trying to decide a DAW based on how stable it is? That's a pretty poor criteria * , especially considering how different they are otherwise

FL was notorious for its constant crashing, but that might've been the case because a lot of copies were cracked and it's also less prevalent recently it seems. Reason has always been super stable (3rd party REs are sandboxed, native stuff just doesn't crash) and frankly I never had any issues with VSTs in it since 10.3 (or even before it) when they fixed buffering issues. I guess both are pretty reliable nowadays

* spoken by someone, who's ready to ditch Bitwig because of added rainbow colours in v3.2 beta

FWIW.. I am playing around with Reason lite now so decide do I want to get it for the rack.

It's a 1000x more stable on my system with my interface and the installed plugins compared to FL 20 which kept crashing like crazy every few minutes. I got zero useful support from FL engineers. This was 6 or 7 months ago. I haven't tried the most recet version of FL on OS X.

I don't get all the hate at Reason for its DAW functionality. Its quite cool and so easy to get great sounds stuff really fast. Still playing around with it.
