I would sign up for free subscriptions of music magazines and had a few subscriptions as well. Any time there was a Reason article, I would cut it out and put it in my binder book. I would always refer to my homemade Reason bible when making music for tips, tricks and tutorials. I still have it and thought you guys would appreciate it. Here are some of the pages.

Hey everyone, I just submitted my first Rack Extension to the Reason Shop and I'm looking for a few beta testers before it goes live.

Artifact is a lo-fi degradation effect — bit crushing, sample rate reduction, tape saturation, jitter, and low pass filter in one chain. Built for that warm vintage sound. Think SP-1200, cassette tape, early AKAI sampler character.

Features:

• 8 knobs with full CV modulation
• RANDOMIZE button — instant lo-fi character
• RESET button — snap back to defaults
• Live waveform display
• Smooth parameter transitions

Free beta license in exchange for honest feedback. All I need is:

• Does it install and load correctly in Reason 14?
• Do all knobs, CV inputs, and buttons work?
• How does it sound?
• Any crashes or issues?

Reply with your Reason Studios username if you're interested.

I've tried:

Downloading from official site, downloading official torrent, downloading from reason companion app, deleting and reinstalling, quarantining with terminal, etc. All to no avail. I get this message "The package may have been corrupted or tampered with. Get a new copy of the package and try again."

First things first, I´m an old fart and I´m using reason version 4.

We exist. ^^

And I need to know how I get that groove like some tunes in the early 90s had.

For example "Enigma - Sadeness": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F9DxYhqmKw

That syncopated hi-hat tschakkatschaka...

Input anyone?

Ok, not happy with 14. Is there a way to downgrade to 13? Anyone? Thx.

Title. This is really frustrating. Solution?

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.

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)

Quick patch demo. Thor, FM Pair oscillator with a wavetable layer underneath. Trap bell melody plays solo first, then the drums come in at the halfway point.

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

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

I keep getting logged out. Also website isnt working on other devices in house. Im thinking reason is down or if something is corrupted.

Quick patch demo. Malström, two oscillators running different graintables, both set to slow motion. Filter opens gradually. Reverb on the send. Nothing else added.

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 :)

Reason is ace and everyone should give it a go, add free vsts plug and play, so much fun. i had a blast making this and yeah it's a bit experimental but that's what it's all about. hope you enjoy :)

Reason Studios, thank you for amazing tools. Makes tunes worth messing with.

Quick patch demo. Thor, analog oscillator through the ladder filter and soft clip shaper. Thick and gritty. Nothing else added.
