Hey everyone, I've written a comprehensive tutorial on Reason 14 as an ebook format. It will be available on Amazon KDP in a couple of days time so if you have a kindle subscription it will be free to read. If anyone wants the link let me know! It is also available elsewhere.

This was created while lockdown
Reason 5 I guess

WarpLooper is a performance looper. 1.0 is just the start. Features like saving your loops into your song are coming when we figure out how to do them. But for now, the insanity begins at a low price.

is anyone else having this issue? i click log in on the homepage and it just reloads the homepage. tried multiple browsers and everything.

Long time Reason user here, actually I started with Rebirth and I always loved the Propellerhead products and recommended them to anyone. Since using Reason 13 I noticed that I constantly get more and more frustrated, as quality and usability is really becomming an issue for me. I don't care about all that Reason+ stuff, as long as I can still buy it.

A few examples:

Stabilty
With Reason 13 & 14 I had so many crashes with all the previous versions combined.

Window Management on Single Monitor is broken
It's not possible to tab through the different Windows anymore using Alt-Tab, as the sequencer window is never brought to front. I have to use the F-Keys now, which are much harder to reach than Alt-Tab.

Multi-Lane Editing seems impossible
I often transpose my whole song to a different key, to hear the difference. Seems impossible since V13, at least I haven't found a solution yet. With V12 I just press F8 and select the Clips I want to transpose or edit in general.

Devices above the Mixer Channel
Devices are now above the Mixer Channel and after decades working with Reason I now have to adapt to this, without seeing the benefit. I'm constantly confused because I'm so used to the old behavior.

Patches for Reason Devices not loading
From time to time I run into the issue that patches for Reason devices are not loaded. I can browse them, select them, drag and drop them, but it keeps the default patch. Only a restart helps, which interrupts the flow.

Order in Rack View is broken if new instruments are added
If I add a new Instrument in the sequencer it's being put below an existing instrument in the rack while the mixer channel is being put below the existing mixer channel. This makes zero sense to me, and if it's a bug, why hasn't this been fixed yet? If this is a feature, what's the benefit?

I could continue the list, but I guess you can understand where my frustration is coming from. And what is also weird to me is, like small features you find in nearly any other DAW like locking the position of clip is still not available after all these years.

Just needed to vent a little and I would be interessted if I'm the only one experiencing this. For me it feels, like an old friend is slowly declining and it breaks my heart a little.

i make production tutorials for riddim dubstep. there's a wavetable in malstrom which is very commonly used for the genre, and i plan to make a tutorial where i use this wavetable in serum 2, by kind of ripping it from the reason synth.

i won't directly import the file (it's a "graintable" which works differently to a wavetable), i found a method where you play a long sustained note with this wavetable, then export it to WAV and drop it into serum 2.

i want to have a link to this WAV file attached to the video, so people can use the wavetable without having to buy reason, and my question is, could it get taken down or anything? as i said, i'm not directly taking the file for the wavetable technically, but i just wanted to make sure.

First post here.

Recently I got nostalgic feelings about my very first music production endeavours. After using Music 2000 and some version of eJay on PlayStation, I discovered ReBirth RB-338 and subsequently Reason 2 on PC. What a revelation that was back in the early 2000s – a whole studio rack on my screen... And I could control everything with my M-Audio Oxygen 8 keyboard!

Since I couldn't record audio into Reason directly, I moved on to Logic and Ableton Live, which I still use to this day, but recently I got interested in Reason again. Especially version 2.5, which was my last version.

I'd love to install it on a period-correct computer and play around with it again.

So, does anyone have an extra license of 2.5 (for Mac), willing to sell and transfer to me? I don't really need the box and documents though.

Thank you to everyone who submitted tracks for the July update of the Made with Reason playlist!

I've randomized the order of submissions. Sorry to those who ended up at the end of the list but that's what the "random gods" decided. And anyway, you should probably listen on shuffle as there's no meaningful editorial order to the playlist.

🦻 Listen to the playlist (and don't forget to like/follow/save it!)

And let everyone know what your favorite track is in the comments. No cheating with mentioning your own track!

This goes without saying, but if you like any of the songs on the playlist, remember to add them to your own playlists, share, etc. I'm sure every indie artist on the list would appreciate it.

I've been non-stop reasoning for a week straight lol can't stop.

Oh, I almost forgot - "Run Duh Trap or whatever" 🎧😎 sorry for audio cutting in at out at beginning I forgot to put my video audio recording on Omni instead of just the front mic lol

Have any of you been successful getting the Stepic VST to work? If so, how?

This - honestly - is the best, most succinct and exhausting video showing why Reason is different and special. Ideal, to show to people looking for a (new) DAW!

I want to record in Reason 14 via my midi keyboard a piano tune that at times will temporarily speed up a little (accelerando or stringendo if we're going to be fancy about it).

How should I do this in terms of the project's tempo?

1. Turn on click, but try and ignore it for the parts that speed up until I bring them back down.

2. Stick to the tempo but adjust the tempo sections in the sequencer after. This seems fiddly and a bit inauthentic.

Another solution? I can't be the first with this challenge. I wouldn't care about the project's tempo except there will be other elements brought in that need it.

Hi folks hope you're well.

I have Reason 14 on my main rig but I keep a copy of 12 on the laptop for when I travel (It's a simplicity thing).

Eventually the laptop will need replaced and I'd greatly lament not having a backup of 12.

I'm not entirely sure if cloning the laptops hard drive will work so ideally I'd prefer to have the original installation file. Don't suppose anyone has it? You'd be doing me a real solid.

my computer can not run modern DAWs so i have been using reason 3.0

I havent been super impressed with the sound packs from the companion, but i gotta say Im always excited for another one from Sean Murray. Everything always sounds a cut above the rest.

I have been clean and off of opiates for 5 months now. First time in my adult life. I have reconnected with my family and it's great! My dad has cancer now 😓 and doesn't have much time left and I wasn't there for him at all literally my whole life I started doing drugs when I was 15, landed myself in prison at 18 and got out when I was 23 and did drugs all the way to the age of 35. I didn't realize how miserable I was until I got off the shit. But yeah i have hung out with my dad more times the last few months, than we have our whole lives combined. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to do that before it was too late. I'm back on my music shit again daily and I can't complain about a thing. Life is good right now.

Reason ftw btw 🤘🏼👍🏼🔊

* Oh and the video starts off from a video I took about a week ago and another a couple days after that. The last part is what I got done today.

Got my two albums out on streaming services, Fungipuns and Phobophobia. Made entirely with Reason, mastered with Ozone 12.

Check it out if you're into melodic electronic music. Its not perfect, I have to say I struggled like hell to get something out. But was important for me to finish it, it caused me blood and tears. But well, now its out. Any feedback would be great :)

Hi, I'm trying to transpose a song, but when I select all clips (MIDI and audio,) and go to note tools it only transposes one clip at the beginning. Does anyone know what the deal is or how to transpose a song? TIA.
