A bit of a disappointment. A new sampler the 10h I suppose? The only added instrument.. Ok the combinator upgrade is top but for an upgrade price of €139? Quick earning euro's? No for me it's over with Reason. They should have come with more new developments and workflow enhancements... Too bad!

 

FINALLY, I CAN RESIZE THE GUI! That's literally the only feature I wanted. Reason has always been a major player, but that GUI has been of an issue since 2007, lol.

 

so, where can i buy perpetual reason suite now? All i see is the 399 version, do i have to buy all expansions seperate now? And what expansions do i have to buy to get to that "suite" edition?

 

This is my wish for the 10,000 R2R project. I don't think it'll be this, but I'd love it if it was.

I really learned how to make music on Reason, but I haven't used it since Reason 5 -- the last good warez release. So I'd love to get a modern copy. No way in God's earth I'd ever dream of buying it at those prices though.

 

the only thing that i dont like and never have is the gui, hope its better now

 

I love the gui. I always thought it did a fantastic job of emulating hardware. The GUI is the only reason to use it, IMO. I don't think it does anything soundwise that you couldn't do much better in Ableton or Bitwig.

 

Really? Anyone still using Reason nowadays??? :D

They say they are a "plugin" instead of a DAW nowadays LOL.

Their new subscription based licensing is a huge fail IMHO.

 

Can you combine vst plugins with the new combinator that would be dope

 

Yeah but Reason is a totally modular DAW. No other DAW can claim that, save for VCV, but VCV is a much less inclined "daw".

 

Cool.

Did they add support for VST3 and AU?

 

still no mouse wheel support for parameter control, still the most crappy vst performance in the game, still no vst3 support.
go fuck yourself, reason studios!

 

I got mine from zzounds you get to pay it off.I got 11 suite it came with everything except friktion another synth and one effect type plugin.Which are all rent to own in the reason store.I got 12 months to pay it off through zzounds.With first payment they send the product and you can use it while you pay it off its alot easier that way atleast for me.Theres tons of add ons in the store from other companies but like I said earlier you get everything in suite thats in reason plus all except 3 plugins which I just rented to own.

 

What do you mean you've always been able to stack instruments or fx in combination but now you can stack combinator inside a combinator.

 

SO From Reason 11 suite v11.3.9 I ll have to Pay 199€ ??
Isnt that a hustle ? I have Reason Rack in all DAWs C11pro reaper 6 FLS 20 Presonus
199€ is too much & I feel it will be Cracked Soon Even Only the 11
I m a Legit user but they desserve bein defeated

 

Did they add ARA and MPE? Comping?

 

It's $129 US to upgrade from 11 to 12. It's right there on the first page of reasonstudios.com. So, shouldn't that be about 108€ in exchange rate? Just wondering...

 

I think if you are using Reason solely as a Rack plugin (like I am) then upgrading right away is not that needed. However, in the long run, the major Combinator update will be the reason (pun intended) most 11 users will move to 12. I believe that we are going to see a lot of creative Combinators with their own GUI coming out from left to right from folks all over.|

I'll take my time but eventually, I'm moving to 12!

 

Reason has always been a chained application and is probably the most unique on the market with its virtual TAB routing patchbay.
The fact it has DAW capacity is a bonus, even though I prefer other DAW's. ReWire now discontinued by Propellerheads enabled the simultaneous transfer of up to 256 audio tracks of arbitrary resolution and 4080 channels of MIDI data. That was a great thing.
All of that being said, I can see why they dropped rewire even though it still is useful for Sibelius and other apps.
Basically it will still function similarly to the rewire except now with all popular plugin models as a rack, enabling loading of all the modules. As to whether it can load custom combinator(s), external reason sequencing, I have not gone that deep. someone else may wish to.
