I have been using Reason since it was just an instrument and effects suite so its pretty stunning to see how far its come at Reason 12. I knew it had added VST support a couple years back and was reluctant to dive back because I feared opening up to the VST world would destroy its stability. I was wrong. Reason is as stable as its ever been even using several of the VST's I use in Reaper and Studio One.
It's still an inspiring environment to worth within just like back in the day but so much more powerful now. Audio recording is a breeze and with the addition of the built in Pitch edit and timing tools it makes sound warping in Reason almost too easy. The built in devices are all still there but they've added a ton more over the years so I can get whatever sound is in my head nailed down very easily. I love being able to master within Reason using my Izotope Suite so I dont need to export stems out to Studio One for mastering purposes. I've tested out the Reason Rack plugin with Reaper and Studio One and it works like a charm if I needed to go out of the DAW itself but at this point I cant see needing to any longer. Everything can be done within the software on its own.
Read ReviewYes. A great workstation. I'm amazed at how easy is to create any kind of music style when sitting in front of that luxurious infinite stack of Synths and effects including the new Mixer. The audio stretching is impeccable! And the new effects are able to transform beyond recognition (if you so desire) any audio going through them.
Love the new workflow and the rack extensions, and i didn't think i would but it really opens up a new world of sonic capabilities.
Terrible review, doesn't cover half of the things in reason and a glaring mistake saying that SYLENTH is included in the software??
This is obviously written by someone who doesn't know the software at all.
I think that Reason now MUST have a decent MIDI OUT instrument, i mean with Bank MSB and LSB, with more than 1 assegnable knob (maybe 16...) because almost every keyboard has more than 128 patch, and I don't want to program bank change msb and lsb into the sequencer, it is very very uncomfortable...
The workflow improvments in Reason 8 are great, Reason now feel almost like a modern DAW, but still far some other DAWs.
The way you add insert effects to an instrument is still not very handy, as the cabling system. I think that the "real device" paradigm of Reason has its limits.
Otherwise, it's a great package for the price, think of what you get for that price in the hardware world. But the upgrades are pricey.
129 € for the Reason 8 upgrade is almost a fraud. Certainly there has been a lot of work behind the scene, but it was just about bringing Reason workflow to a descent level compared to other DAWs.
Reason is fine, but we are in October 2017, and still - after all these years with increased monitor screen estate the Props have yet to make the Reason rack scalable. Maybe the solution used in Terry Gilliams move Brazil (1985) is a viable addon??
Not so easy as you might think; it's 1:1 design pixel by pixel and this is done in order to create ultra clear graphics. If you zoom a photography it will look pretty okay at all resolutions but these are highly detailed instruments where function is above everything else, and boy do they function! Best synthesizer studio on a computer anywhere.
