And according to yesterday’s live stream there was a solid uptake from the new ones on the first day of Reason+ existence.
#Reason studios update
MusicRadar verdict: It’s debatable how essential an update this is for Reason 11 users but taken as a whole, Reason is looking the best it has in years.Yesterday Reason Studios announced Reason+ - a subscription service giving subscribers everything Reason Studios makes + regular new Sound Pack releases for as long as you pay $20/month.Īs expected, there was a lot of negative sentiment from the current users who have paid thousands for their perpetual licenses and upgrades over the years. That aside, for the Reason-curious or lapsed users there’s probably never been a better time to take Reason for a spin.
The Combinator update is fantastic, particularly for building Rack tools for plugin-mode, although it’s debatable if it’s worth the update price alone. Is it worth the £130 update price? For those that use Reason as a primary DAW, Mimic is a must-have, although if you use Reason mainly as a plugin there’s a good chance your existing DAW has a similarly tooled sampler. There’s also a sizeably expanded soundbank and some tweaks to the browser – although this latter element still feels a little dated compared to other DAWs.
While this doesn’t really add value, the devices were beginning to look a little ‘low-res' and, with its iconic hardware-style design, if any DAW deserves HD visuals it’s Reason. On the visual front, Reason 12 also benefits from updated graphics. It’s a really nice update in all, one that adds a sense of real excitement to designing and customising your own instrument and effect patches. This includes adding and arranging an assortment of hardware-style controls, resizing the device panel and even importing a custom image for use as the interface backdrop. So far, so standard, but Combinator sets itself apart with a highly customisable interface that allows users to create their own custom UI. Instruments can be arranged to create layers, keyboard splits, velocity zones and have their parameters assigned to top-level macro controls. The updated device allows users to combine and store any assortment of Reason Rack devices and – in DAW mode – third-party VSTs. The other major update comes to Reason’s Combinator, which is used to house and save multi-device patches. As a whole, it doesn’t do a lot that we haven’t seen before from samplers in rival DAWs, but it’s nicely designed and fills a notable hole in Reason’s toolset.

Logic Pro X 10.5 adds a wealth of empowering features and systems, including grid-based clip launching and an embarrassment of sampling riches.Īdding samples is a simple case of drag-and-drop, and Mimic features automatic root note detection – although in our tests this proved rather hit-and-miss when used with anything other than clean and simple tones.
