Reason boxed me out of my Reason 10 version. It’s listed now at unsupported so it only works in Demo mode and it locked me out of some serious Rack extensions. Been a Reason user for 22 years and it pisses me off they forced me to upgrade or switch to a new DAW. Seems like extortion. I don’t like the idea that I can just choose to use the version I like and let it be. I’m excited about 12, but damn.
Software upgrades are a fact of life but they all are depended on your OS first. I can load up an old OS and install Reason 4 and it will run fine but I will not be able to use any newer stuff. Some how you installed some software that they do not support on the OS you are running.
@@LearnReason Not somehow, I'm Running Reason 10. I've had every version of the software including Record when it first released. Their website info updated in the last week or so and a search of their FAQ's lead me to send them a support email and the I was told reason 1-10 is no longer supported, upgrade required. I purchased Reason in May 2001 and it's been my software ever since.
@@LearnReason thanks, I've had a look there and can see some free refills, but does R12 come with any new refill sounds for rex that you're aware of? Just not really feeling a massive difference from v10

They will just be put in the mixer channel like I show in the tutorial. Its really no big deal and I can tell you I most always have went to the rack to adjust my inserts.
At 5:44 , previously, you could load a combinator preset into the fx chain of the mixer channel and use the 4x fx chain knobs and buttons to control the combinator functions. I think they removed the fx chain knobs and buttons to avoid confusion when using many combinator inside the fx chain, but it is possible that there is a technical impediment where one combinator cannot control another combinator (not without cv cables) They just created another feature request for the future :P

ive been supporting reason since the early days, but not really happy about the upgrade price, especially in australian dollars because it will now be almost $300 to upgrade from this point onwards.. so if they want me to keep upgrading from this point on they better make sure they are making a lot of improvements and including plenty of usable new devices that equal or out do their competitors

i am a reason user and have been since 3.4.5..9.10 and now on 11. the upgrade is nice but i think it works out cheaper going on subscription. £19.99 a month. 12 x 20 = 240. £240 gets you more than you get with buying the daw. you get everything and anything they make while you are in subscription.
I've been using Reason for at least 20 years ,I'm very disappointed with the upgrade price hike so I won't be upgrading anymore and seriously thinking to change to FL or Ableton !!!
Ok you must do what you must. I have always had 2 DAW's and when I bought Reason 4 I had Nuendo, DAW's are just tools and nothing more and I have found that when you become emotionally attached to things you soon loose what those things are for and in Reason case it is just to make music and does that very well IMHO.

@@supercoolguy3579 Feel free to read this blog post by the CEO of Reason Studios VST3 support is coming in Jan 2022. The only VST 3 support is for the Reason Rack to use in other DAW's and a lot of people are confused about this, the VST3 support you are seeing during install is the VST3 support for the Rack plugin which installs with Reason 11 and 12. Just telling you the truth brother. www.reasonstudios.com/blog/roadmap-for-reason
I used reason from version 1.0 and ended up moving to Bitwig when the resolution was just too low for me to work practically on my 32" HD screen (about version 9 or 10 I think?), in honesty they would have to do a hell of a lot more than this to get me to move back from Bitwig now, also the whole Reason+ thing is really off-putting to me.
These changes don’t do it for me. With my luck I’ll purchase 12 then reason will drop 13 with the piano roll enhancements, shortcuts and even cooler stock VST’s. Still a dope DAW, they just greedy.
It means they will have to do an update in less than a year, every year. Now 199 to upgrade (read about it the day before and payed the 129) and a year of reason plus is also 200 for a year. Yeah you get samples and patches (not interested already have terrabytes ) and the reason instruments (already have those i want, i make techno don´t need a guitar re or other acoustic stuff) i won´t be surprised once you can authorise r+ for offline working and 13 comes out, there won´t be any other version than r+, no more full or update option...
They should start these Reason 12 reviews by making it clear it is only available for ** Windows 10 ** I assumed as Reason 11 works on Windows 8, that this would too. It doesn't.

What a lame update. I can’t believe they expect users to pay $200 for the upgrade. Reason has been forward thinking for a long time but they are BLOWING IT. This is a dot update at best. Such a shame.
Not so much forward thinking imo. Lots of rack extensions yes, but when will they optimise the friggin sequencer? And simple things like for selecting rools like arrow and split is for qwerty. Where i live it´s still azerty, like in 10 percent of the world and still no option to choose that.

As much as I love Reason and your channel, it seems like you are reaching really hard to justify Reason Studios lack of pleasing its customers. It’s like they are really pushing us toward using it as a VST, which is cool in its own right. So I guess 129 for 2 new VST’s could make sense.
I just made a video showing all you get with Reason 12 and then gave a productive opinion based on the truth. It's always better to make decisions based on all the facts and this video helps in that way.
Reason as a VST is far more then most other VSTs avilibale. Most VST are just one device but with reason VST it's all its devices and way more valuable.
I think Mimic is awesome and thats the point...one can like it and one my not like it...it is just a tool to make music and its all about the music isn't it.
Boy are you reaching hard to try and justify a seriously lacklustre update. It really is just those four things of any note, and 2 of them should have been in a point release, they're still buggy too. I don't find much value in Mimic, I have not need for yet another sampler. For me, the update is basically just the Combinator update, which I do like, and some of the new combinator patches are quite neat. However, compare and contrast to updates from any other DAW even considering price differences. Nice try, but I am unimpressed, Reason need to do better....a lot better.
All I did is inform and show all the updates and then give my opinion. My opinion is based on truth and I have the data to prove it. I do hear you though brother.
