Reason 12 is here

[Danilo Villanova]

On a musician's forum full of people who know shit about these kind of things? Oh please.

Well, newsflash for you: Reason Studios is not the multi billion corporation you may think it is.

Tell us how much they're worth then. Or are you just full of shit?

I can temp lock this

No need to Hink. I'm done here. Not worth my time.

Reason Studios run a 33% off sale at the moment: https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/brow ... &sort=name

Pretty good prices.

That makes the Update to R12 about the same as it was before the price hike...

That's what I thought and immediately lost interest. Silly money.

Grum.

Only a few hours left

I consider upgrading my full version 10 ,.. but was planning for a later date

Main purpose is using the latest rack + combinator funcktions with new BV-X + a few more in S1

Sales often apears before a new release ,.. so some Q's:

1. Will there likely be an simular intro-discount on version 13 ?
2. When is version 13 release to be expected ?
3. What news is to be expected in version 13 ?
4. Will the new BV-X vocoder likely be discounted any time soon ?

I don't think anyone knows, (probably not even the devs) you may get better info on the reason forum…there is a roadmap but to be honest development is really slow in my opinion (unlike say Bitwig with a couple of significant updates every year) and again, in my opinion they are not really updating the core DAW, just adding more toys which is OK but not essential…

Thanks,

In the end I choose to upgrade for the reduced price, and will see if BV-X goes on sale later,..

Since version 10 they've added the Reason Rack Plugin, The Sweeper Modulation Effect, the Channel Effects as Rack Extensions, The Quartet Chorus Ensemble Device, Automation Curves, Draw in Multiple Notes in Clip edit mode, the Updated Combinator(which is awesome BTW), the Mimic Creative Sampler, a complete graphic overhaul to support High Res Graphics, a much faster browser, thousands of new combinator and soundbank patches, an updated Regroove Mixer, improved overall performance, and several new Players. And keep in mind that just six months before version 10 was released they opened up their completely closed off ecosystem to VST's which was a huge undertaking. I'd argue the last 4 or 5 years have been pretty active as far as development goes for Reason Studios. Certainly worth the upgrade from 10 in my view.

It depends on what do you see as the focus of the software. If you follow their claim "Reason is the rack" - then a big YES. It's all about devices and tools. But if you want a "modern", comfortable and feature packed production environment (read: sequencer enhancements and convenience features), then you are out of luck here. But at least you can move on and take your favorite devices with you as Rack Plugin.

And keep in mind that just six months before version 10 was released they opened up their completely closed off ecosystem to VST's which was a huge undertaking.

Rumor has it that the program code for it had been in the poison cabinet for years. Hence "only" VST2.

I made Reason my main DAW at version 6 after they added Record into the main program and never looked back. I bought 12 on release day and couldn't be happier.

Grum.

60% off upgrading now! Sucks if you bought it last month.
Umming and ahhing about jumping in and getting it but it's not an essential purchase and times are hard at the moment

Grum.

[jens]

Even I couldn't resist this time... (~65€ for me)

[zvenx]

Yes, I too saw the 60% off and grabbed the upgrade.
which clearly means reason 13 is probably about to come out soon with my luck.. sigh

Which then is another chance for us to vote with our wallet (depending on how tempting the update will be, of course).

[imrae]

The blog update strongly implies to me that VST3 will be Reason 13.

Having fixed the issues in Reason 12, we are now working full throttle on VST3 support.

So update to 12 not looking very tempting.

[jens]

No, it does not imply that at all, I think.
