Automatic (Free, But if this RE wasn't I will buy it on sale) Synchronous (free in the first month upgrade) As in the plugin world people wanting some of the new plugins needed to go VST3 or AAX to get them.Īlkua wrote:I was watching how Reason has growth from version 4 to 8. Reason 7.1 for example bring a new Re specification, and if you wanted some of the new Rack Extensions, you had to upgrade.
Still, there will be times, when you will feel compelled to do it, as the Rack Extension format is evolving. Take in mind that its up to you to decide if a given upgrade is valuable. Their understanding that some people will prefer some devices, and other people prefer other devices. their belief in the format, this promoting it to other developers. Developing their own Re's, states 2 things: And they also have a bunch of in house Re's.
Mind that all offered devices with reason since the RE technology arouse, were distributed as Re Licenses in the user's accounts. I think that is a good thing, because thought propellerheads have great ideas, i prefer to have an unlimited number of people developing interesting devices for reason than only propellerheads with finite resources that have to be distributed for the application core functionality and performance, and to new devices.īut even Propellerheads clearly passed the focus on devices to RE's.
I see Propellerheads review some core devices, maybe NN-XT and Malstrom (maybe allow malstrom to get samples in), some app review with increased workflow and so on, nice mixer revies like patch loading and saving, etc.īut the focus on new devices clearly passed on to Rack Extensions, rather than internal devices. With Rack Extensions, that's an incorrect focus right now, as people now can choose devices to add to their racks. People focus Reason upgrades value on new devices.
