Reason 13 looks all really great, but the getting rid of the "Favorites Lists" in the Device Browser section is a workflow killer 😥, I loved that feature, it was so handy having your plugins in Favorites Lists containing all your most used (favorite) EQ's, Compressors, Distortion, Sautration, Tape, Channel Strips, etc. I WISH you guys would bring Favorites Lists back to the Device Browser section while still having the addition of the new browser for patches and audio files. Just my sad wish for Reason 13 😥
I must thank you for finally improving the workflow and the sequencer itself. I must admit that it was becoming a real drag for me in recent years since there were no improvements in this section. Hope that from now on you'll continue to give attention to this kind of stuff as much as for the upcoming new devices. One of the best updates so far..

disagree on some, agree on others. The browser tagging is almost a decade overdue. the sequencer editing workflow is huge. Hated the separate pop-up window for midi adjustment. Sure, ill need to redo my favs, but this new way is much improved. Searching and preview seems much faster. What exactly is bad so far?
@@pnutbuttajellee1394 Just one example: I want to be able to edit some midi clips parameters without opening the piano roll. It's incredibly important for a quick workflow when arranging. Until now it could be done with the tool window you hate. Now what?
From the comments, it seems everybody is impressed with this update except me. And $200 for an update in 2024 is WILD. Especially one with so few new features. I'm not sure everyone is gonna love this new browser once they get there hands on it. Plus, I really, really hope they didn't get rid of the favorites section for devices because that's what it looks like to me.
@@chocomalk Not for devices and no thumbnails so i have to remember every name/vendor of the plugin which is a huge step back to my workflow when you are used to search visually and not by the name of the plugin.
One thing you can do is save .vstpreset files for your vsts that are then useable in the browser. Huge task though unless you’d just like to save a few. If reason would build an export process to automate this, that would be the solution!
Huge! I have been learning other DAW in big part because of this being lacking. Overjoyed that reason has this now. I just added a large touchscreen for the rig so hoping it will work with that.
Something important to note for people who edit vocals in Reason: 15:40. The Pitch Edit mode does not have vertical zoom anymore, so that waveform display bar is now small and unusable for fine-tuned vocal editing.
Whoo, this is goofy. "What do we have for the sequencer update, people?" "We have tags, sir." "You mean for the browser that we touted as a major selling point just 2 versions ago?" "Yes." "Okay, what else?" "That's it." "That's it!?... Okay, listen up.. just take a handful of things that people are already perfectly comfortable with and change where they're located on onscreen and how they're accessed. I don't care which ones; just make them look different." "You got it, boss!"
It was actually easier in Reason 12 to get all my samples bc they are all in a sample folder that has over 150 different sample packs.. It would take a life time to add them all bc the entire folder will not save to my shortcuts. Before you could easily slide the sequencer bar over and they would be right there to access and hear with the play button! If I am missing something please let me know!
PLEASE let us use the sequencer when using Reason as a plugin! Edit: what would be especially cool, is if every instance of the reason plugin within a project was aware of the others and were all available within the sequencer (that is aware of and reflects the global song position of the DAW you are working in). Then, by default each instance of the plugin within a session would be in it's own "group" and assigned to one channel within the Reason plugin. This way, you could use Reason just like you would with Rewire in the old days. Furthermore, you could use modulation across the various Reason plugin instances within a project.
I really wonder how many users they lost because of that change. I've been using Reason together with Live for most of the past decade through ReWire (started on Reason 4 & Live 8), but after having lost access to the sequencer & ReWire. Well... I stick with Reason 11's RRP and eventually jumped ship to FL Studio.
Sometimes you don't know what you want to start looking for when starting a song and have a sound library of 10s of thousands of sounds. A random button would be cool to add amongst the tagging options.
I really like the improved workflow. I'm looking forward to working with Reason 13 to the full very soon. I would have liked to have seen a separate rack and sequencer zoom as I personally would prefer a zoomed-in rack and a zoomed-out sequencer - but there you go - maybe in the future ;-)
The browser changes are great - so much cleaner and easier to use across all devices. I suspect some people with a lot of old muscle memory won't be too enamoured, but I think it's worth it.
Nice. You told everthing you can do with the new browser (which is a lot). Maybe we also should talk about the things you no longer / can't do: 1. No own categories/folders/favourites anymore for organizing your devices&vsts the way YOU want. -2. No function to filter for VST only or RE instruments only. Seems like VSTs are no longer in focus here.- 3. The browser window is not "floating free" if you have more than one monitor. Why on earth weren't you able to give us all the brilliant new features without taking away those beloved and useful old ones? Edit: No.2 obsolete because this function hides itself behind the burger menu. Thanks @RoryChandler for clarifying.
I'm really annoyed that you no longer can throw a sample from a folder in to redrum (or any other sample based RE) and than skip through all the samples in that folder. For some reason the new browser overrides that. Ugghhh please reason just give us the old browser back.
Thank you .This looks like a good upgrade . Just an idea .What if there was a second loop button .The second loop button had a flexible start and end marker that would only work when the second loop button was turned on . This being a different colour and distinct to the main marker .Say the user wants to edit their track between measures 7 and 11 . That the second loop button would loop between these measure points . .
Ive been using reason for 14 years. I love reason for creating, the colors n design make it the funnest to look at out of all the daws. When it comes to editing tho and workflow it’s definitely behind. (Ableton being the example) I firmly believe if reason fixes this issue then it’ll be the top daw
↓2. Tool window has been removed only to take up way more screen space now ↓3.. Everything about sample edit mode was already neatly tucked in the upper toolbar, now it takes up more space
↓4. Browser feels very RRP oriented. Until now it was very easy to drag and drop samples on the same track, one after the other. Now that workflow has become cumbersome.
I was a happy Reason user 20ish years ago. Strongly considering coming back. I like that you are treading between ui modernization and keeping the core features that made it special product. One gripe is that REX files seem like an outdated approach.
@@micromando4669 sad face. well i Gussie i stay with bitwing till then at least they don't need to have to use a VST host to use the vst natively. and the new combi its cool at all bits in bitwing i really don't have any limits crap even waveform 12 who by the way its complete free now. not only do they have a combi who has no limits but if you want you can put multiple combis in 1 contra file a.k.a a combi in a combi i love the new reason combi 2 and i love that my limits it's up to 34 buttons at best and yes, i can use the mix channel as a form of a contemner a.k.a a combi inside a combi but shout be nice to have at least an export button because option 2 it's just to open my two reason files and just copy past the mix channel with the EFX . just given some advice to have a limit break
Looks pretty good, I can tell you guys really did put allot of effort into this and have implemented some of the features users asked for. Good Job keep it up and make Reason a competitive DAW, you can do it.
I am an "in-the-box" jingle producer who uses the R+ system in its entirety; no third-party plugins. The Ripley effects plugin is of particular interest; it's clear you've carefully considered the needs of sound designers with its feature set. The sidechain and gain tools are also very welcome. Alongside your updated browser system and sequencer improvements, I suspect my workflow will be at least 20 percent faster. Knowing Reason listens to its dedicated users, I would like to see, in the future, a one-stop mastering plugin (meter / limiter / clipper / eq / saturator) and track stacking. However, I am perfectly happy with Reason+ as it is. Lastly, I've noticed you've said/shown nothing about the SSL mixer, which my favorite part of the DAW. Any surprises regarding this? Looking forward to the update :)
Is it possible to create our own unique tags? Like if I want to tag something with a tag that isn’t already there-like say, “Owl City-esque” or something 🤔
You got rid of the 'Favourites' bit? Why on earth would you do that and force me to use this new system. At this point I am only using Reason 13 for the step sequencer by a 3rd party.
I'm not even on the lie this makes it easier for a beginner to feel like reason studios is intuitive especially using it as a DAW. I think that I've bought the last four iterations of reason, but sometimes I would take large hiatuses because the workflow made it harder. But to see this is very refreshing. It seems like they are striking a good balance between old school reason feel to new school please make this easier vibes lol. I'm excited
I really like the new browser. Had a blast testing it and I find myself making great sounding ideas without even having to reach for any VSTs. Allow us to drag devices onto a favourites list and it’ll be damn near perfect… Can’t wait for release day and then I can start working in it full time. I’m very happy Reason as a DAW is back in focus. Still my favourite, and I own em all (almost). ❤
I'm one of the biggest advocate for Reason going. Been a solid user since 2.5. I'm sad to say this is the first update I'm not going to purchase. Just feels like it should be an update to 12 rather than the next version.
This is the update I've been waiting for! These workflow improvements are huge for us Reason-as-a-DAW users. Thank you guys for all of your hard work and attention to detail on this release guys!
Is there a way to preview samples and select the desired piece of audio wave? This is necessary for sound designers so that they can use the search in sound libraries containing long files with tons of sound variants. This is very well implemented in "soundly" - there you can select any piece of sample and immediately drag it to the DAW track as an audio file. In my opinion it is critically important, if we are talking about goodsounds browsing
I’d like the mixer faders and pan knobs to be able to be displayed at the bottom half of the sequencer screen instead of the top of the screen as well if that’s a possibility in the future. Thx for working on the DAW workflow. I hope this will be a continued focus on every update as reason is still my favorite DAW to work in.
The workflow updates are very welcome, but if you are an existing user and don't want or need another synth, delay unit or the utility devices then £200 is an excessive cost for the upgrade. It would be good if there was even very basic clip launcher / marker functionality so you can play different sections of a song on the fly to get spontaneous ideas for song layout before laying out your arrangement. This could so easily be achieved by the existing block functionality allowing different blocks to be triggered by keyboard shortcuts.
That floating browser is a BIG no for me! And destroying the old browser by removing the option to make folder so you can arrange your favorite devices. So no upgrade for me before they have fix this.
I understand your POV from an OCD perspective but logically speaking, you’re not looking for sounds or patches all the time. You look, you find, you pick, and after that it doesn’t need to take up any real estate on your screen any more. I might not be as versed in Studio One functionality as you are but I’m not sure their browser was the first thing that grabbed me.
@@titovalasques They have destroyed the browser so that when i want to find my favorite plugins/Re (i search visually and not by what the plugin is called). But now they have destroyed the old browser, i have to scroll through ALL my fx/instruments instead of being able to click on a folder where i have organized my favorite instruments/FX that i use often like for example "Delay" "Compressor " "EQ" "Utility" "Glitch" and such.
@@titovalasques It was directed at Reason Studio, i answered you why i think they ruined the old browser but apparently they didn't like it and deleted my comment...🤷♂
I wonder how many of the comments and likes were paid for by Reason Studios. I really don't understand why so many Reason users would be so excited about a new browser file directory system which isn't what I would call a workflow improvement. There are many workflow related features that Reason users have been requesting and the browser is definitely not one of them.
Yes huge focus on the browser which I guess is great if you love searching for and carefully labeling thousands of patches, and yes, loads of people will try and tear apart anything negative that is said, play semantics, claim it makes no sense, defend the company to no end, just know you can have your opinion and shout it out loud too, just have to ignore those that can't hack it.
The longer you spend in menus is less time spent creating music and sometimes the feeling is fleeting. I don’t want to spend 80 hours setting up each session, so I grab my pocket operator and get to work
As someone who hated working in reason for college, the update looks to be fixing some of my issues.byt there are still things I'd want changed. One such being the ability to pop out the piano roll into a floating window, like how FL Studio handles it. Another would be to color code rack cable plugs, into what can be compatible for using and what isn't. I've had too many times where I've tried to hook up cables, only for it to not do anything and now my cable is gone for routing. Still, the sequencer and piano roll changes that have come are good for how I work, which is speed in playing notes. Now that I've got a midi keyboard, this should be a lot easier now.
@@Pippy_Pappy I remember seeing a comment on reason main channel that said "i use to waste so much time organizing my patches into folders but now with this new tagging system I can just focus on making music" 💀💀
Same here, all highly requested features are simply ignored as always. Collapsing to folders also in the ssl, scale/key features in the pianoroll, thumbnails for custom combinators, vst cv out, vst players, own shortcuts, mseg, more advanced automation drawing abilities like synchronous has. Etc. But hey, you don’t need to press F8 anymore 🤡
Thanks Ryan. These are great additions, tagging is a gamechanger for me as I have a vast number of patches and Refills accumulated since I first began with Reason (in the v1 prehistoric era - been there since the very beginning). Being able to group tag a bunch of patches in a third party RE (like your Korg MonoPoly example) is incredibly helpful. I assume the same logic will work with Refills (I have over 200 of them!)?
When Reason 8 came out it was all about a faster workflow buy getting rid of the floating browser. I am interested in trying it out though. I just worry because I find Reason can get very cluttered with large projects, which is why track folders and track freeze is such a popular request.
Can you zoom the rack independently from the rest now, or are still stuck in either "rack is too small, seq is ok" or "rack is ok, seq is too big" modes?😮
I never heard one person ever complain about the old briwser (but everyone wanted sequencer improvements), So why the change?……… I hate it. It’s slower, all my favourite lists of how I organized my plugins gone, Feeding me old ass subtractor and malstorm patches I never want to be recommended, clicking new instrument doesn’t take me to my device lists but a list of random patches….. this is a ui disaster
how about you spent a lot of time creating and customising your FAVORITES list on REASON 12 and now on reason 13 im back to square one :( is there a way export or import my favorite list from REASON 12 over to REASON 13 ?? PLS🙏
Can you can choose your drive to install in Windows (re's and soundpacks included) As it always automatically installs to c drive without option, and for whatever reason my c drive is really small compared to my d drive on my laptop.
This is one of the additions I’m excited about. We’ve definitely needed tagging. In maschine, it makes my work flow much faster. Glad it’s in Reason now. Can you guys add a key or pitch recognition feature that will help us find the key of a one-shot, chord or clip? I look forward to the sidechain device overview. We’ve needed that for a while. Also, can knobs for left&right marker be added on Mimmic, so that we can control it from a midi controller?
Very cool but a bit worried about the samples and fav list being disappeared from the side. I'm sure I'll get used to it but the muscle memory is kinda gone
Damn y'all snapped with this browser tho. My initial thought when opening this video was 'how much could they really improve the browser?', and now I'm heavily considering upgrading whenever I can afford it next.
@@deeplink_audio How is it possible to manage the tracks in full height edit mode window ? You can't do that anymore, because the left side originally dedicated for tracks management is discarded...this is very bad UI/UX decision which ruins the workflow. In order to select the track, mute, solo, etc. you have to change the height of the edit window EVERYTIME to get the access to track management on the left side.
@dusansynth Sure. Fortunately for me, I simply can't just jump up and down a track - as musical parts are in different places in the arrangement. So even with a full screen edit window, I would still have to (previously) exit to the arrangement view, find my bearings and then enter edit mode again. Also personally, I seldom work with an instrument that is covering more than 3 octaves at a given time.
Why make the browser a locked window that can't be moved to another monitor like the others? If there's a way to change this or have it back to the old style, I can't find it. Just give us the option to have it where it always was. This thing doesn't even merge with the left panel anymore. It's frustrating and unnecessary.
Peace and love! I’m loving it but can we please get back the ability to, while a file is selected in the browser be able to hit the left arrow and have the selection jump up to the folder the file is in and a second click will close it up? Now while scrolling through I have to reach for the mouse more often to click on the folder then hit back arrow or just push the up arrow and wait while it goes back up the whole list til it gets to the folder then the back arrow to close. Much love and great job with everything!
As a good Windows user, I usually need to format my PC every 3/4 years due to random problems that break the boot or interface. Where are these new tags stored on the hard drive? If it's in the system's default folders, can't I put this information on a hard drive that doesn't have a direct connection to the system's hard drive? // I don't know if it's possible, but having the piano row panel appearing on the side could also be a good deal, some work with ultra wide monitors, and it would be a smarter use of the function in these cases.
“Inspector” is that a new Reason term? Or a giveaway of where the feature inspiration came from 🤣. Good to see the tools migrated inline with workflow rather than floating window though. About time and a very welcome change. Thank you ❤”🎉
It would be nice if you could choose random location for weekly packs for Reason+! I had to stop downloading and had to delete pretty much everything because it filled a decent part of my system drive... 👀👀
I was happy to lose a floating window (F8) but that one was replaced by another (the new browser) It wastes my time more than anything else, I find it not very fun to use, the old browser with tags would have been more pleasant and faster to use in the workflow. I have no choice I would have to use it, but it will be reluctantly, especially since I can no longer put Rack or VST as favorites

Solid asf❤..can’t wait..I feel like I’ve had a daw that grew with my journey…reason since V7
I was a happy Reason user 20ish years ago. Strongly considering coming back. I like that you are treading between ui modernization and keeping the core features that made it special product. One gripe is that REX files seem like an outdated approach.
I wouldn't call it outdated. Good for drums. Only now surpassed by the new Cubase special mode that just got released as v13.
can you guys make a update on you VST host in reason,
make more like the combi 2 and give us a VST cv out support too
if possible
I guess this won’t ever happen
@@micromando4669 sad face.
well i Gussie i stay with bitwing till then
at least they don't need to have to use a VST host to use the vst natively.
and the new combi its cool at all bits in bitwing i really don't have any limits crap even waveform 12 who by the way its complete free now.
not only do they have a combi who has no limits
but if you want you can put multiple combis in 1 contra file a.k.a a combi in a combi
i love the new reason combi 2 and i love that my limits it's up to 34 buttons at best
and yes, i can use the mix channel as a form of a contemner a.k.a a combi inside a combi but shout be nice to have at least an export button
because option 2 it's just to open my two reason files and just copy past the mix channel with the EFX .
just given some advice to have a limit break
@@micromando4669 i take it back on waveform 12 , 13 there not really free
but still, they have less issues than reason
Looks pretty good, I can tell you guys really did put allot of effort into this and have implemented some of the features users asked for. Good Job keep it up and make Reason a competitive DAW, you can do it.
I am an "in-the-box" jingle producer who uses the R+ system in its entirety; no third-party plugins. The Ripley effects plugin is of particular interest; it's clear you've carefully considered the needs of sound designers with its feature set. The sidechain and gain tools are also very welcome. Alongside your updated browser system and sequencer improvements, I suspect my workflow will be at least 20 percent faster. Knowing Reason listens to its dedicated users, I would like to see, in the future, a one-stop mastering plugin (meter / limiter / clipper / eq / saturator) and track stacking. However, I am perfectly happy with Reason+ as it is. Lastly, I've noticed you've said/shown nothing about the SSL mixer, which my favorite part of the DAW. Any surprises regarding this? Looking forward to the update :)
This is what I'll pay for for sure when the upgrade is on sale. Been a long time coming, these new features in the workflow.
wow, just thought "I wonder what's going on with Reason lately" and this video is 16 mins old!
Looks good :)
I'm ready to 'spark some new ideas'! Thank you Ryan!
Is it possible to create our own unique tags? Like if I want to tag something with a tag that isn’t already there-like say, “Owl City-esque” or something 🤔
This is a MASSIVE improvement! Thanks!
You got rid of the 'Favourites' bit? Why on earth would you do that and force me to use this new system. At this point I am only using Reason 13 for the step sequencer by a 3rd party.
I'm not even on the lie this makes it easier for a beginner to feel like reason studios is intuitive especially using it as a DAW. I think that I've bought the last four iterations of reason, but sometimes I would take large hiatuses because the workflow made it harder. But to see this is very refreshing. It seems like they are striking a good balance between old school reason feel to new school please make this easier vibes lol. I'm excited
I would like straightforfard groove and scale choices as ableton has
I really like the new browser. Had a blast testing it and I find myself making great sounding ideas without even having to reach for any VSTs.
Allow us to drag devices onto a favourites list and it’ll be damn near perfect…
Can’t wait for release day and then I can start working in it full time. I’m very happy Reason as a DAW is back in focus. Still my favourite, and I own em all (almost). ❤
I'm one of the biggest advocate for Reason going. Been a solid user since 2.5. I'm sad to say this is the first update I'm not going to purchase. Just feels like it should be an update to 12 rather than the next version.
I'm sold. After watching this, my workflow is going to be so much faster. can't wait until the 18th. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!! LOL
To the Reason developers that create Subscriptions monthly/anual service, thank you ❤. I switch from Studio One to Reason.
This is the update I've been waiting for! These workflow improvements are huge for us Reason-as-a-DAW users. Thank you guys for all of your hard work and attention to detail on this release guys!
Is there a way to preview samples and select the desired piece of audio wave? This is necessary for sound designers so that they can use the search in sound libraries containing long files with tons of sound variants. This is very well implemented in "soundly" - there you can select any piece of sample and immediately drag it to the DAW track as an audio file. In my opinion it is critically important, if we are talking about goodsounds browsing
Counting the minutes till it drops!
I’d like the mixer faders and pan knobs to be able to be displayed at the bottom half of the sequencer screen instead of the top of the screen as well if that’s a possibility in the future. Thx for working on the DAW workflow. I hope this will be a continued focus on every update as reason is still my favorite DAW to work in.
I’m really so happy to see these improvements in R13 guys. Super exciteddddd for next week. Gogogogo
The workflow updates are very welcome, but if you are an existing user and don't want or need another synth, delay unit or the utility devices then £200 is an excessive cost for the upgrade. It would be good if there was even very basic clip launcher / marker functionality so you can play different sections of a song on the fly to get spontaneous ideas for song layout before laying out your arrangement. This could so easily be achieved by the existing block functionality allowing different blocks to be triggered by keyboard shortcuts.
THIS IS AWESOME!! BEST CHANGE FOR THE REASON
Looks pretty awesome ❤
That floating browser is a BIG no for me! And destroying the old browser by removing the option to make folder so you can arrange your favorite devices.
So no upgrade for me before they have fix this.
I understand your POV from an OCD perspective but logically speaking, you’re not looking for sounds or patches all the time. You look, you find, you pick, and after that it doesn’t need to take up any real estate on your screen any more. I might not be as versed in Studio One functionality as you are but I’m not sure their browser was the first thing that grabbed me.
@@titovalasques They have destroyed the browser so that when i want to find my favorite plugins/Re (i search visually and not by what the plugin is called).
But now they have destroyed the old browser, i have to scroll through ALL my fx/instruments instead of being able to click on a folder where i have organized my favorite instruments/FX that i use often like for example "Delay" "Compressor " "EQ" "Utility" "Glitch" and such.
@@titovalasques Why did you delete my comment @ReasonStudios ?
@@MarcSwing Is this directed at me or at Reason Studios?? 😳
@@titovalasques It was directed at Reason Studio, i answered you why i think they ruined the old browser but apparently they didn't like it and deleted my comment...🤷♂
I wonder how many of the comments and likes were paid for by Reason Studios. I really don't understand why so many Reason users would be so excited about a new browser file directory system which isn't what I would call a workflow improvement. There are many workflow related features that Reason users have been requesting and the browser is definitely not one of them.
Yes huge focus on the browser which I guess is great if you love searching for and carefully labeling thousands of patches, and yes, loads of people will try and tear apart anything negative that is said, play semantics, claim it makes no sense, defend the company to no end, just know you can have your opinion and shout it out loud too, just have to ignore those that can't hack it.
The longer you spend in menus is less time spent creating music and sometimes the feeling is fleeting. I don’t want to spend 80 hours setting up each session, so I grab my pocket operator and get to work
As someone who hated working in reason for college, the update looks to be fixing some of my issues.byt there are still things I'd want changed. One such being the ability to pop out the piano roll into a floating window, like how FL Studio handles it. Another would be to color code rack cable plugs, into what can be compatible for using and what isn't. I've had too many times where I've tried to hook up cables, only for it to not do anything and now my cable is gone for routing.
Still, the sequencer and piano roll changes that have come are good for how I work, which is speed in playing notes. Now that I've got a midi keyboard, this should be a lot easier now.
@@Pippy_Pappy I remember seeing a comment on reason main channel that said
"i use to waste so much time organizing my patches into folders but now with this new tagging system I can just focus on making music" 💀💀
The browser is worse than it was before
Disappointing that there are still no collapsible folders in the sequencer view
Same here, all highly requested features are simply ignored as always. Collapsing to folders also in the ssl, scale/key features in the pianoroll, thumbnails for custom combinators, vst cv out, vst players, own shortcuts, mseg, more advanced automation drawing abilities like synchronous has. Etc. But hey, you don’t need to press F8 anymore 🤡
It looks cool. What was missing! I will save up money to buy this! After many years I want to return to music production in this program!
Still waiting to be able to sync the mute indicators between the mixer and the tracks, please make them sync.
Thanks Ryan. These are great additions, tagging is a gamechanger for me as I have a vast number of patches and Refills accumulated since I first began with Reason (in the v1 prehistoric era - been there since the very beginning). Being able to group tag a bunch of patches in a third party RE (like your Korg MonoPoly example) is incredibly helpful. I assume the same logic will work with Refills (I have over 200 of them!)?
its been along time. now I can use reason back now. like the new work flows
amazing platform ever since 1.0 😎😎
RYAN RULES!
When Reason 8 came out it was all about a faster workflow buy getting rid of the floating browser. I am interested in trying it out though. I just worry because I find Reason can get very cluttered with large projects, which is why track folders and track freeze is such a popular request.
Can you zoom the rack independently from the rest now, or are still stuck in either "rack is too small, seq is ok" or "rack is ok, seq is too big" modes?😮
I never heard one person ever complain about the old briwser (but everyone wanted sequencer improvements), So why the change?……… I hate it. It’s slower, all my favourite lists of how I organized my plugins gone, Feeding me old ass subtractor and malstorm patches I never want to be recommended, clicking new instrument doesn’t take me to my device lists but a list of random patches….. this is a ui disaster
Exactly 👏
True
I don’t regret migrating to Bitwig, Bitwig is more Reason than Reason
True
Facts!
how about you spent a lot of time creating and customising your FAVORITES list on REASON 12 and now on reason 13 im back to square one :( is there a way export or import my favorite list from REASON 12 over to REASON 13 ?? PLS🙏
this was why i went back to Reason 12. That pop up widow kills my flow 100%
Can you can choose your drive to install in Windows (re's and soundpacks included)
As it always automatically installs to c drive without option, and for whatever reason my c drive is really small compared to my d drive on my laptop.
This is one of the additions I’m excited about. We’ve definitely needed tagging. In maschine, it makes my work flow much faster. Glad it’s in Reason now. Can you guys add a key or pitch recognition feature that will help us find the key of a one-shot, chord or clip? I look forward to the sidechain device overview. We’ve needed that for a while. Also, can knobs for left&right marker be added on Mimmic, so that we can control it from a midi controller?
Very cool but a bit worried about the samples and fav list being disappeared from the side. I'm sure I'll get used to it but the muscle memory is kinda gone
Damn y'all snapped with this browser tho. My initial thought when opening this video was 'how much could they really improve the browser?', and now I'm heavily considering upgrading whenever I can afford it next.
Please add devices in the browser window again, so I can add shortcut lists for my specific device groups!
The ReBirth of Reason! 👏
**Can you re-size the piano roll to full screen, or are you now limited to split screen view??**
Yup, you can resize it so it takes up the full sequencer viewer, or make it smaller. Up to you
@@deeplink_audio How is it possible to manage the tracks in full height edit mode window ? You can't do that anymore, because the left side originally dedicated for tracks management is discarded...this is very bad UI/UX decision which ruins the workflow. In order to select the track, mute, solo, etc. you have to change the height of the edit window EVERYTIME to get the access to track management on the left side.
@@dusansynth I agree with you. If there are no keyboard shortcuts for solo/mute, this creates certain inconveniences.
@dusansynth Sure. Fortunately for me, I simply can't just jump up and down a track - as musical parts are in different places in the arrangement. So even with a full screen edit window, I would still have to (previously) exit to the arrangement view, find my bearings and then enter edit mode again.
Also personally, I seldom work with an instrument that is covering more than 3 octaves at a given time.
some good changes here. but still no support for scales in the piano roll?
Why make the browser a locked window that can't be moved to another monitor like the others? If there's a way to change this or have it back to the old style, I can't find it. Just give us the option to have it where it always was. This thing doesn't even merge with the left panel anymore. It's frustrating and unnecessary.
WELL DONE! 👍🏻🔥😎
🎉 since 2.0 thank you. About to upgrade soon
Reason gang baby !!!!!
That bass isn't "fat", it's just big boned.
Hahahaha!
It's an ozempic bass
man this great for sure so am back on Reason 13 so what lest is Grouping tracks
Peace and love! I’m loving it but can we please get back the ability to, while a file is selected in the browser be able to hit the left arrow and have the selection jump up to the folder the file is in and a second click will close it up? Now while scrolling through I have to reach for the mouse more often to click on the folder then hit back arrow or just push the up arrow and wait while it goes back up the whole list til it gets to the folder then the back arrow to close. Much love and great job with everything!
As a good Windows user, I usually need to format my PC every 3/4 years due to random problems that break the boot or interface. Where are these new tags stored on the hard drive? If it's in the system's default folders, can't I put this information on a hard drive that doesn't have a direct connection to the system's hard drive? //
I don't know if it's possible, but having the piano row panel appearing on the side could also be a good deal, some work with ultra wide monitors, and it would be a smarter use of the function in these cases.
This is all fine and well, and it looks great. NOW, can we get the ability to scrub audio? I've asked about this numerous times in the past.
Great Job with the Organized New Tabs. Transients”, would have to give a test drive.
Reason” going for a full development throughout the years.
why is your browser so fast??? my browser is super slow... how i can make him faster???
“Inspector” is that a new Reason term? Or a giveaway of where the feature inspiration came from 🤣. Good to see the tools migrated inline with workflow rather than floating window though. About time and a very welcome change. Thank you ❤”🎉
It would be nice if you could choose random location for weekly packs for Reason+! I had to stop downloading and had to delete pretty much everything because it filled a decent part of my system drive... 👀👀
I was happy to lose a floating window (F8) but that one was replaced by another (the new browser)
It wastes my time more than anything else, I find it not very fun to use, the old browser with tags would have been more pleasant and faster to use in the workflow.
I have no choice I would have to use it, but it will be reluctantly, especially since I can no longer put Rack or VST as favorites
