I am also very tired of the ridiculous trolling of youtube thumbnails with the:

"Shhh, dont tell anyone because it's a secret, index finger on the lips."

or the

"Stop!! Don't buy this before you watch this vid."

or the

"This new feature is INSANE!!!!!"

or the

"Fist to mouth grimace OMG pose."

or the

"Wow!! How is this product or feature free/possible/legal/allowed/permitted??"

or the

or the

"Useless finger pointing to the pasted thubmnail image of the product in the top right corner because you would not have been able to see it otherwise gesture."

or the

"This plugin changes everything but i won't tell you what it is so you'll have to watch the video before you'll know if it is even relevent tactic."

... ad nauseam.

That's smart! I fired up Figure on my phone for the first time in ages and didn't know WTF my password was. LANDR seems to be moving things in a good direction!

I put that post up as a joke which is why the last one had the facedance video :lol:

I don't understand how they think this looks cool or make people watch them.
For me it has the opposite effect and i usually end up clicking the do not reccomend this channel for videos like this like i do with the 1000s AI videos that pops up in the youtube feed every day.

Youtube need a stop showing videos with stupid faces and AI crap button so i don't have to do it manually on most of the recommended videos.

To stay a bit on the topic:
I saw that they will change the licensing system again and i do hope that this doesn't mean that I have to log in everytime i open Reason to use my perpetual license.

Looking forward to the release :tu:

Post

So it's out. Anyone know if they finally added polyphonic aftertouch support for instruments? I see no mention of it in the release notes so I assume not (too much to hope for MPE I guess)

Post

shop seems broken. trying to buy the upgrade it tells me "Article Requirements not Satisfied"

weird. maybe it's just overwhelmed.

edit: spoke to support already. they're aware of the issue and are sorting it out. :tu:

Just bought it and the download was fast :tu:

is this mostly for the DAW or did the Rack get some love too?
Never used Reason as a DAW, so trying to see if it’s worth it for Rack only.

Nope, that isn't coming with v14. I really wish it would, though.

Yeah I'm wondering if there's any point for me in this update really - can't see why they updated the DAW a bit but left MIDI in such a primitive state

Just the new reverb as far as I can see.

Thanks!
I’ll wait and see what 15 offers.

I’m mainly a rack user so will probably skip this one, new reverb seems nice but not worth the upgrade cost - when they make the rack instruments MPE I will definitely upgrade. Great to see the DAW users getting some much needed love…
