What Reason + means for the FUTURE of Reason Studios 🔮 

Are you going to be using Reason +? 🤔 Let me know why or why not? 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have been holding out for Reason to improve the DAW for 4 years now. And this was a slap in the face. I do not care about more sound packs or rack extensions. i'm happy with all the gear I have. I just need the mixer and sequencer to be more organized and I need work flow improvements. My projects typically have 50 tracks or more and the Rack becomes a real mess and hard to navigate with that many synths and channels. I have sent reason many emails but feel I have been ignored. Even auto save is a basic function reason lacks.

Not for me. If they keep offering a discount for reason owners I may join up for a year just for the sound packs, but it’s not worth it right now and I’m never going to rent my daw or plug-ins. I’m glad I got in on the Black Friday suite upgrade.

🤔Hope Reason Studio's keep their focus on the DAW also... I personally love creating in Reason (with VST's mostly) more than other programs. even if its missing bunch of features.

I would hope to be able to see the new Reason 12 release with everything that comes with it before deciding whether to commit to Reason+ or not. I love the ide of the patches but as a full Reason owner it's a lot of money for just the patches.

I'm still using the Reason DAW. It's not that bad, but definitely other DAWs are simpler and more efficient. I do dabble in Studio One, and Cakewalk by Bandlab as well.

I have used it but after a few days I opted out. Poor quality GUI when scaling, inability to send midi out from one track to another and lastly the Rack when used in another DAW is just too small to read without getting up close to the monitor (Mine is scaled to 150%). If those three problems were resolved I would be a + user immediately. At about 66 Cents a day its an absolute winner.

Bought Reason 11 outright then two weeks later they bring out R+ I was hoping to do a future update to suite when I could afford it but now not possible, the area I live internet is very sketchy and unreliable, also everything being in US dollars sucks as the exchange rate here makes everything so pricey as I am not making money from it is just a hobby, I have a couple of rack extensions so no need for me.

Tried Reason Plus for 2 months over the summer. I felt it was just a collection of heavy combinators. The players--except for the awesome Chord Sequencer-- were not very good.

I really don't have an interest in reason+ unless I could save some favorite patches from the sound packs to use later with the liscenced version of Reason.

Do you use this for live performance in Ableton? How do you feel about carrying pocket wifi or logging into an unsecured network every time you open Ableton during a live show?

My thoughts as a Reason User since v3..(and I will reiterate points I've made via comments on other videos) I've enjoyed using it for many years, despite waiting for RS Devs to implement vast improvements to the DAWs functionality. However, with the news of this new subscription model that I have 0 interest in, I bought a Reaper license and started using it this weekend. (..and enjoying it!) I will continue to use Reason as a Plug-in exclusively, but I think the vision for Reason DAW by RS is in total opposition to it's current users. Frankly I am tired of playing the waiting game, and with this latest announcement, I expect the waiting will be in vain. The writing is on a LARGE BILLBOARD that RS will eliminate the perpetual license eventually. This move is evident by the fact they've already eliminated any way of purchasing/upgrading to Reason Suite. I predict they will offer features exclusively to subscribers to get perpetual license holders to transition. Personally, I will never subscribe to Reason+ because I don't agree with this model in relation to just having access to music creation software. Sure this is not all the subscription model offers, but I think the way they've presented this leaves perpetual license holders in a conundrum. New users get to use Reason with access to ALL RS REs and sound packs for $19.99/month. When RS came up with this price point I am sure the rental of Reason is included with that price. But what if I own Reason, but want to have access to ALL the REs and sound packs as well? Why isn't there a different price for those who own Reason? This is what I mean. Perpetual license holders are seemingly excluded from RSs plans lately. It's disrespectful but I don't take it personal. Apple Silicon is here, and I am already using the Beta to the optimized version of Reaper. The license I purchased was only $60. I bring up the price to that software because I've paid $129/update since v6.5 (and $250...I think for the Suite), yet Cockos seems to "keep up" a little better than RS with the implementation of features and compatibility. And I can install Reaper on as many computers I own. Whereas, RS has also stopped supporting the license dongle without addressing Authorizations properly. It's this kind of laissez-faire attitude that just compounds the resentment with an announcement like this. It is like the focus is totally about the $$$ while ignoring faithful users, which comes off as arrogance. But as stated on a different video, RSs have demonstrated too many times the birds in the bush are worth more than the ones in the hand.

DAW. 🤔 How long did it take for Reason to become Record and then combine as a DAW. I figure since all this time they had rewire and now dropping it... should make room for better DAW.

You don't get the external Rack Extensions with Reason+. I definitely wont be getting it.

Reason Studios decided to discontinue the Alist guitars and I missed the chance to buy them. I'm now thinking to sell Reason. I just realized how important those were to me.

You can't buy suite anymore can you?

I've been using Reason since vers.1 and yes we don't care about those wack sound packs when we can make much better ones then they have to offer in any genre we choose we hold out to buy R11 in order to get the 12 for FREE in hopes there would be new mods or improved features or much needed enhancements but then they change for a more sound business decision for their company which is all well and good but what about their consumers who have been riding with them since Reasons inception and I begged them for VST support for over 5yrs and they seem to like to tune out their users as opposed to someone they hold in high regard who says the very same thing to them then OH ok since they mentioned they want VST support in the latest vers. Reason finally listens then only to pull the rug out from it's users to start a subscription because it's more lucrative for their company but not the user our frustrations are truly valid in regards to their antics and we are tired of it.

Is there a standalone daw that comes with reason + ? Because I downloaded it and there’s no daw

They are releasing too many rack extensions and plugins, without improving the DAW. Look how many drum rack extensions there are. There must be at least 6 or 7 drum rack extensions, when all I need is Kong. Not to mention HOW MANY SYNTHS DO I REALLY NEED? I will not buy anymore synths. I have at least 10 to 20 software synths by now.

The thing that deters me from Reason+ is that if you end your subscription then the whole thing turns into a pumpkin and you revert back to whatever Reason license you had before the subscription started. That's the fundamental problem I have with any software subscription: I spend all this money on the subscription and never own anything. I'd rather use my money to pick and choose which upgrades and which rack extension to purchase, and then own them indefinitely. That said, I do like the idea of the sound pack subscription. My understanding is that once you download a patch from a sound pack then you get to keep it forever. If that's true, then that alleviates my concern above for the sound packs. If they offered the sound packs as a separate subscription at a fair price, then I might sign up for it.

It's so annoying. Reason just gets left behind, always behind the curve. Using it for 10+ years. This summed up my thoughts. I've been so loyal for so long, I wont be updating anytime soon, If I leave it will be for good. Who cares about the subscription model, all of that stuff you could get an alternative from 3rd parties anyways. They don't care about their daw users, they think the subscription model is for them operating similarly to native instruments.

THE PLAYERS IN REASON 11 ARE LOCKED TO ID8 PIANO AFTER I SUBSCRIBED TO REASON+ . REASON PLAYERS WORK WITH ANY INSTRUMENTS IN REASON 10 . IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND HAS FOUND A SOLUTION PLEASE HELP ME BY SENDING A LINK TO THE SOLUTION. I DO NOT HAVE A LINK TO REASON + ON MY PC ALL I GOT WAS A REASON 11 LINK AND A REASON+ COMPANION LINK THAT I CAN CAN NOT SIGN INTO.

There s no Reason_oning anymore ,,,,

I’d rather make a beat with Record or with Rebirth than with Reason+, haha.

💪 Video 💓

No thanks.

I don’t think many Reason user have an interest in Reason+. It’s a complete ripoff and disaster.

Yet another RU-vidr that has been paid (in cash or goods) to make a positive "review" about Reason+ after the tsunami of negative responses from probably 90% of Reason users. This is just yet another video to be part of Reason+ damage control PR campagne by Reason Studios. LOL 😂

Hair looks good! 👌
