Yes, if you're midway through a project and then decide you want to wire up a random 16-out Kong to the rewire outputs then you'll need to connect the cables manually. My previous point was that for someone who rewires regularly, you'd begin a project by loading up multi-out templates already set up in advance so this wouldn't be necessary. Even if you didn't though, you only have to do it once for that project and how much time are we really talking about here? 30 seconds? A minute? I spend more time than that just trying to think of a name for my songs. :)

What you say makes absolute sense...outside of the context of actually using Reason rewired on a regular basis. I could rant about using rewire. Wait for this thing to load, route that...as the screen scrolls up and down, go in preferences to change MIDI settings because Reason makes no distinction between standalone and rewire, juggle two sets of key commands because Reason doesn't allow for custom key commands, shuffle tracks between daws...everything is ok within the confines of the walled garden, until you need something from outside...so just use rewire...yea. :pray:

I can take all that. What I can't take is the lack of multicore support when rewire (w Live and Logic). Maybe able to squeak by with only built-in racks but once you use RE the whole thing go south quick. I know Live has that rewire multicore support thing but it's always grey-ed out!

I wonder if the presenter in the video actually is speech software?

No way. :) They just use some kind of glitch effect on the voice sometimes. I must admit that he sounds a bit machine like though.

That's actually Frank Sanderson. He does work for many other companies, too:

I'm glad he is human actually. The thought of having such an advanced speech software is quite scary tbh. :hihi:

Yeah, Frank's a swell guy. I've actually had the pleasure of meeting him in person.

The old Reason Pianos ReFill ad still cracks me up:

They've always had a great sense of humour. I love their Pulsar vid! :D
(And I'm still hoping that that's what the Reason 8 upgrade intro video is :( ... ...just a joke...)

just to confirm something, it's not a logic or live limitation with rewire, it's the rewire protocol. It stacks on one core in any host i have ever tested it on (and that's alot of hosts lol). Cheers

Work faster with Reason 8 they say.

So it is all hard labour, and no fun and play anymore? :(

Actually with this video I start to change my mind regarding upgrading it...

Seems really a huge work done on the full process and not just a tiny changes there and there, starts to looks much better to me than the ableton browser imo... After i still have to try before a final rate on that, but looks quite promising more than first vid...
