"It’s a shame that it does not have vst support, but i don’t think i have ever had a crash in reason and that’s probably the reason why."

Hilarious.

You Reason fanboys will say ANYTHING to convince yourselves that Reason's HUGE limitations are not really a problem. It's "so stable" and "It's like a whole rack of synths". Jesus.

Can I use Omnisphere in Reason? How about Sampletank 2, Sonik Synth 2, Miroslav Philharmonik, Zebra, and a hundred different FREE VSTs, most of which are JUST AS GOOD AS THOR?

Please, feel free to post up some of the 'amazing' sounds that Thor allegedly can produce. I haven't heard a single one yet.

As for the new sequencer being worse than the old one – why doesn't that surprise me? As for the Propellerheads still limiting Reason to a fixed width of the screen – that is beyond stupidity, but I expect nothing more from them.

Try using Buzz. Free. Perfectly stable. (I've never had a crash with Buzz08, and I use Polac VST and umpteen different VSTs in a song.) FAR easier to compose with, using the Sequence Editor. No other software offers such an intuitive way of representing your song, and no other software offers such an incredibly FAST way to edit your music.

Sorry Mark, Reason has no audio inputs and no internal wave editing. You can only insert samples. Reason is very complete studio, but only within itself. It has no audio in, and no midi out, (except through rewire). You probably want a sampling program like ‘Live’ to record and play along with. Then, you could even use reason for different instruments.

Hi,
I’m looking for a program wich may allow me to record bass, guitar… through a simple audio interface such as the m-audio firewire solo. I’ve noticed reason 4 is quite a complete program concerning the arrangement, the electronic beat or synthetized bass tracks. The problem is, every tutorial and everyone on forums keep talking about these amazing features and not about real time recording. So i wonder, can you record your own guit or bass tracks through your interface and arrange it with this program?

Yes I agree also, the sequencer in R4 is soooooooo disappointing!!

I’m sorry but I completely disagree with your opinion!

I have 2 computers for my music creation, on one computer I’ve installed R3 and on the other R4.
Now, although I’m working more than 8 months with R4, every time I’m opening a song In R3 or create a new one, its so obvious that the work flow in R3 is so much easier.

Of course all other features you’ve mentioning above are very useful like vector automation, coloring groups or Thor and arpegiator. But I don’t agree on minimizing/maximizing tracks, for me its a useless feature because when tracks are minimized you cant work with them any longer due to its mini size.

In general the main problem with new sequencer is that every single device/track has very FAT graphics and crowding the arrangement view too easily even when adding only few devices!

The simplicity and cleaner view of R3 sequencer is helping me stay focused on my project without loosing my inspiration!

They should definitely ADDRESS these problems in new versions if they want to keep their customers happy.
In fact, I’m not willing to upgrade if they keep the same sequencer in next version. Why should I when I’m working faster and easier with Reason 3?

I’ve obtained Reason 4.

After some use, it seems to me that all new features are good. However, I find the sequencer update to be the most hidden perl. If you are used to the old sequencer, at first it may seem like no-good. Given some time, though, it will show how much easier it makes working in organization

[everything is modularized in groups :: grouping, naming groups, slicing groups, hiding [muting] group parts, grouping of automation tracks and note tracks, group content display, group coloring, group editting, group muting, vector automation, track groups minimazing/maximing, track zooming, track editting on spot, assignment of regroove on tracks and then permanent application, recording groups, the list goes on]

and how it prepares the way for sample tracks [i.e. recording etc]. Once I’ve got working with the new sequencer, I can no longer imagine going back to the old one.

Also, the graphics’ refreshes are smoother and faster.

Just an encouraging thought.

Yeah Reason 4 sequencer sucks big time!!! Too fat graphics!

My only argument on reason 4 is the sequencer, otherwise everything’s else is perfect!
To be honest I was expecting to see audio recording and wav editing after all these updates but…
A revamp of sequencer is definitely needed!

I’m tired waiting Reason to adpt vst technology! 8 years passed since it came out! How many years we have to wait to use vstis inside reaosn without rewire?
And yes, in Reason 4 the sequencer is a nightmare!

Yes I agree also! Although every new device is worth to update, the new sequencer is badly designed!
I’m very pissed off with this and I’m waiting to see big changes in next version!

Users have a point here! Almost every new device is good in reason 4 except the sequencer. I feel that they’ve design it with no big care!

A new redesign, more effective and is needed!

Those that complain about Reason 4 and it’s supposed faults, either don’t know how to use it or they don’t know what they’re complaining about. These people should go use other software that works better for them OR they should make the most of the software by learning it inside out (and there is a lot to learn!). It’s that simple. There’s a lot of people out there that would buy this great piece of software from you and will learn how to actually use it. Don’t moan with everyone else if you can’t or if you have a problem with the sequencer or the font, go use Fruity Loops, Ableton, Sonar, Cubase, Logic, Acid or something. There’s a lot of choice out there.

yes, the new sequencer is a disaster! So clunky and exhausting to work with!
I really like Thor and RPG-8 but i miss the old sequencer!

Cant agree more with previous posts! Reason 4 sequencer is such a nightmare!!! I still cant believe they’ve redesigned it so badly!!!
Its so pity!!!
Otherwise all other additions are good, but sequencer leaves a bitter taste!!!
