Reason 7 is out

Post by daniel.sneed »

Reason 7 is out.
Seems to play fine in DP thru Rewire.

Reason can drive external hardware synths or effects, now.
Which I've no use of, yet, for DP is always my main host.

Reason authorization process has changed.
Your Propellorhead dongle AND your computer get authorized.
So you can go on location without the dongle, provided you use the right computer.
If you use a different computer, then the dongle will be required, though.

Is it worth the upgrade if I only use Reason as a Sound generator?
Seems to me the last 2-3 updates have been more about giving Rsn DAW capabilities

You also need 10.7 or above.

One of the "Reason"s I might finally make the move to 10.8.3. I've really started to enjoy Reason a lot more with the last couple updates and BFD refills, etc.

As a sound generator, Reason 7 has a slightly extended Factory refill.
Orchestra refill seems just like the one coming with Reason 6.

I made the jump for some loyalty habit, I suppose...

I beta tested it but don't think its worth the jump yet - the hardware MIDI thing doesn't interest me now - I made the move away a couple of years ago. And as for the Dubstep drum loops - how have I lived without them?

So unless they drop the price I'll keep with 6.5 for as long as I can. As a sound source its great.

I'm still on Reason 5 over here. Was the jump from 5 to 6 substantial? If so, and 6 is like 7, I'm thinking I might pick it up. Part of my reason for not updating was, as Dwetmaster pointed out, it seemed like 6 mostly had to do with incorporating Record.
