You still don't get it? Just about any major synth VST that has been released over the past 5 years trumps both of Reason's synths. I used Zeta+ as an example, what if I had said Absynth or Atmosphere, what in Reason matches up to those programs? Most of what I want from Reason is not even centered around new devices, but fixing up what has already been implemented (mainly the sequencer). There are several
types of synthesis but Reason only covers 3, how is there no need for improvement?
I also don't use Reason by itself, I have Cubase and used Acid (ver. 4) in the past. I'm not simply sitting here complaining, the fact is that if Reason does not improve they will disappear. People like myself are not about to upgrade again when most of our requests have been ignored.
Also as L. A. Stone Reason was touted as an "all in one solution" even though it never was, and now the competition has caught up. Once again since you don't seem to get it, I never claimed that Zeta itself was better, but Live might be. I see that you would rather try and continue to attack me based on your own false misconception, rather than address anything substantial.
There are things that I want to do in Reason that I simply cannot right now, but I never said that Reason was not a good product. I thought it was the most incredible piece of software when I got it a few years ago, but now it simply is not holding its weight. There is no perfect piece of software, but claiming that I am "biching" (sic) simply asking for some features that the competition (within the same price range) has makes no sense. Here's a
link to a forum filled with people that are always "biching" about Reason like me.
I would also like to know if you guys that claim that Reason is more than enough produce more than one style of music.
