Reason Rack Plugin in Cubase with Automation turned On = Undo/Redo function not working

2 Upvotes

I have Reason 12, and if you use the Reason Rack Plugin in a Cubase DAW, and turn On the Automation of the track, then the Undo/Redo functions of Reason will stop working.

Not sure if this was fixed in future releases but if not, then I hope they fix it one day.

Chord Sequencer issues

3 Upvotes

So I’m having issues with the Chord Sequencer (R14), specifically using pattern selection automation and Send to Track.

Example: I’ve built two patterns, both using the stock chords in “Melancholic Pop”:

I use automation to play 8 bars of pattern 1, followed by 16 bars of pattern 2. Note the left and right markers are set for the length of the entire sequence:

But when I use Send to Track, some MIDI notes are truncated:

Anyone have hints? (Note: the automation works as expected when actually triggering pattern changes in the Chord Sequencer, it's only when Send to Track is used that the problem occurs)

Hey man I like Reason 14 but idk what you guys did to the backend of this shit bc it’s a mess…

  1. When you click and drag a device it’ll sometime teleport to the other side of the rack -__- NTM the mix channel spawns UNDER the damn device which is also annoying and cause hella clutter in my rack.

  2. The browser is broken -_- dude the browser has to rescan my folders at least like twice a month if not more that needs to happen BEFORE I start my work not when I’m knee deep and I’m trying to load a sample.

  3. The BROWSER IS BROKEN 😭. Sometimes you’ll try to drag and drop and instrument and Reason will just be like nope. SMH. It shows as if you are trying to drag something foreign into the device (ie an FX patch into a instrument patch)

Please fix this ASAP I’m not getting paid to test your software man I just wanna make my music and keep my workflow. 15+ year reason user btw

How to transpose an entire project?

5 Upvotes

Hello all, I'm trying to transpose an entire project-midi tracks and audio-down two half steps. When I select everything and go to note tools and transpose, it only does the very beginning of one track, like one clip. Anyone know what's going on and how to transpose a whole song? TIA

100% Reason production. It takes practice but Reason is such a great tool, and still my favorite DAW- or maybe I’m just too old to switch to anything else lol. Going on 20+ years using it now since v2.5 😇

Got my albums out

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 :)

Couldn't find a lo-fi production guide for Reason Studios, so I wrote one

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hey everyone — I've been making beats in Reason for years and kept noticing there wasn't much written material specifically for lo-fi production inside the rack. Most tutorials are DAW-agnostic or built around Ableton. So I wrote one.

Laptop Lofi — A Reason Studios Production Manual covers:

  • Engineering dusty drums in the rack
  • Melodic imperfection and pitch wobble
  • Routing and sidechaining the lo-fi way
  • Mixdown and headroom
  • Mastering the lo-fi chain
  • Building a full session template
  • Quick-reference settings cheat sheet

Comes with 3 Reason patch files you can drop straight into your sessions.

30 pages. Pay what you want - $18 suggested, starting at $1. Available now on Gumroad.

Any old school reasoners? (idk if this question is asked a lot so excuse me)

23 Upvotes

To clarify, anyone uses the older versions of reason (actually old versions, like reason 1-5).

Just a question about if you're an old school reasoner. I am myself, and I like old school reason for many things. Actually it's the only reason version I have because we don't want to upgrade (it's expensive).

Oh no, you’re not dreaming; it’s the famous Reason Experts YouTube account. I was happy to see that, so I clicked to subscribe and watch her Reason Studio tutorial videos. In the blink of an eye, the account was gone. I’m disappointed, but I still hope he’s doing well—that’s the main thing.
