Reason 12 Has Been Released

[DonaldM]

Reason Studios released version 12 today. You can upgrade from prior versions for $129, buy new for $399 if you're not a current user, or go the subscription route for $199 per year or $19.99 per month. The 3 big things in the upgrade are much improved graphics on the UI so you can see things much better, a hugely expanded and improved Combinator with lots more flexibility and ability to customize, and the addition of a new sampler, Mimic. Find out more here.



What has NOT yet been added is the ability to host VSTs in the rack when hosted in another DAW such as Pro Tools. Why they won't add that feature is still a mystery to me. Other than that, it does look like there's a lot of great new features and I'm sure many other things under the hood.



Personally I'm not making the jump from 11 just yet. Not because I don't think 12 will be really good, but because I need to upgrade my entire system first. I'm woefully out of date on computer power and my CPU just can't keep up with the higher demands the more recent plugins require. So, building a whole new PC is the first order of business, which I intend to do real soon. Then I'll decide what to do about updates/upgrades on a number of plugins and VI's.
