I don't get how Propellerheads can keep getting away with adding features that every other competing product has had for YEARS and people still get excited for it. Are they just that good of marketers??
And this is coming from a Reason user and lover.
them features were in other daws before that even lol. I am not all that excited about Reason 7. This is an amazing update if you only use Reason if you rewire or use another program then most people won't care but that was the same case with Reason 6 too soooo..............I'm not trying to hate on it...I just don't see anything that would pull me into getting it. World Wide said it best...I mean its great for current reason users looking for an upgrade, but all that stuff has existed in DAW's since around 04-05...Its a good stable program I used it for some of my production in 06 but what happened to the innovation? I don't even notice anyone making noise about refills anymore besides the props site.
Its a fast upgrade cycle for Reason yes but keep in mind that in other DAWs these are basic features. This is the update Reason 7 needed to be I was just hoping there was more to it. I like this upgrade but I think there is still more to come that they haven't announced yet.I think that Reason 6 to 6.5 and now to 7.0 - it has all happened inbetween few years, isn't that fast? Yes it is, if you ask me.
Now, when Reason 7 has all the features that we never supposed to see - makes it being a NO.1 DAW for me. (what did people say: we never see audio, 3rd party plugins and midi out. OMG how wrong they were!).
i agree these features have been available in other DAWs for years... but for some who uses large sample libraries (vst/i) and want to go mobile... Reason 7 is ideal... you cant run Native Instrument's session drummer, a scrabee amp bass, east/west piano, vintage organ, horns, east/west strings, and a few synth patches from omnisphere on a lappy... that is not going to happen... plus lugging around an external hard drive does add more weight to you back pack... running the sample libraries will burn up your lappy battery faster too...
I said this over KVR too and I'm gonna say it here too - well you keep telling about how other DAWs have had it already - it's true but the other DAWs don't feel the same while using them. They have lot of serious enjoyment problems and workflow issues. If I want something, I want it the Propellerhead way.
They already said they were going to. Saying if you want all of the features from Recycle its available in Recycle. I think you will only be able to create slice points and export them or quantize them. Which for me at least is fine because its all I ever used Recycle for when I had it. Glad I sold my license but I feel bad for the guy I sold it to kinda.The inbuilt rex chopping seems cool but knowing Propellerheads they will find a way to gimp it so they can continue to sell Recycle for its extortionate price.lol
