2020 was Reason's best year ever, apparently!

[xbitz]

I can see your question...

How is my question from 7 months back about MSEG relevant here? And I was asking for Reason device, i.e. native or RE.

all right then the whole story ... started Reason just because of your post and started to remember why I'm not using it now ... then checked MSEG Reason in google (I've used Reason 1 years ago as a DAW) and your post was the top answer ... and created a track

and my eyes started to bleeding thanks Props and closed Reason ...

Just change the skin to Blue or Dark, pick good track colours (that's a problem in any DAW), dock the mixer to one side so that it's never full-screen (which is jarring for darker themes).

It's a beauty!

So is this best year ever related to opening Reason up as a VST plugin? I know that’s why I finally bought in.

It might have contributed to it.

Yes. Reason as a primary DAW has been dead for awhile minus a few dedicated groupies, and most of those have moved on. Reason as a VST is the only market they should be focusing on now.

Do YOU use it as the RRP? How many REs have YOU purchased to use with it? If not, who are you to tell Reason Studios they should drop the DAW and focus on RRP instead? There's still many - and apparently more every month - Reason DAW users. Those that stayed (or came back) accepted RRP as a means for Reason Studios to branch out and bring in more money, so that they could further develop Reason itself and the RE environment.

Not to mention it's pretty disrespectful to call people who chose differently "dedicated groupies"

The REASON RACK PLUGIN .... of course it's a DAW but also a plug-in of plugins ... The best thing they ever could do . I think they can improve the program as a DAW and also release the updates with cool Reason Rack device every so often . Almost like NI Komplete business model in some ways . I'm happy for them .

Yes, it was a smart thing to do, as it's basically a win-win for all:

• disgruntled Reason users could finally move to other DAWs and take their toys along with them;
• people who never used Reason could - cheaply, or even for free - try the Rack, its workflow, unique REs and some even got a taste for Reason DAW itself and incorporated it into their setup;
• those who've been rewiring Reason to other DAWs got a more streamlined & integrated (although less powerful) new way of working, which - I'm hoping - will get closer eventually with multi-channel MIDI input to RRP and VST hosting

You dropped it as a DAW -- and you're one of the few who keep going on about "Give me hi res assets and I'll use it as a DAW again!". I was the spearhead trying to get Props to focus on the DAW for years over at rt while you and your groupies poo-pood it over and over saying how it was fine as-is except for resolution. You and your 24" 4k demands.

Good thing Reason didn't add any hi res this year or you'd be here talking about how THAT was the one of the main reasons it sold well. Newsflash --- the high-res assets won't mean anything for Props sales if its for the DAW, only matters if the rack is scalable.

I know what I'm talking about in this case, and you don't.

You're behind the times, I see? I dropped all the other DAWs and returned to Reason, even without the high-res GUI - it's that good, for me

And actually high-res GUI (which obviously means it will be DPI-dependant / scaleable, GPU-accelerated and will be applied to RRP that's integral part of Reason) IS a huge deal! Most people not using Reason because GUI's too small or "soft" (blurry, due to upscaling from low-res assets) are on laptops or '24'' 4K screens' and Reason has to adapt, like all the market did. It will happen this year.

I know that most of you guys either selectively don't remember posts from people, or purposely don't. However I remember what I read and say, and remember what many others post as well -- its one of the main reasons my predictions are often spot on and I'm not afraid to bank on them -- made me successful in life, and is just a by-product entertainment factor for me online in forums.

I don't like trying to find stuff to prove what I state, however this one was fairly easy I remembered the topic:

12 Sep 2020
I don't need a lot to upgrade and go back to using Reason. High-res GUI and folders would do. Actually either of them would be sufficient

Now I'm on Bitwig, sometimes Studio One and - surprisingly for me - I don't really use RRP in them. For some reason it seems weird, as if I was cheating or something

Wonder who said that just 3 months ago...

Where did I claimed I didn't say it?

I only said I came back to Reason DESPITE those things not being there (yet).

Perhaps try to also understand what you remembered someone said? Otherwise you might not be "as succesful" in the future
