Butterfly Crash , the comment was how is reason not the most creative DAW. Yes the semi modular nature of reason is creative from the aspect of the daw. The grid is very creative. The devs at bitwig gave users a playground. Node base synthesis that works with bigwigs modularity is pretty damn creative. Sure the rest of bitwig is a rehash of what ableton has been doing. But Reason hasn’t added an original feature in quite a while. And don’t even say players. I don’t want to automate making music. Reason has been trying to catchup with the other DAWs for years. And with the last few updates, they’ve gotten desperate for more users, implementing features that abandon their core users and attract those of other DAWs. If reason continued to be creative and innovative they never would have lost the users they are trying to get back.

@@PhylaMedia I get where you're coming from. But still, your creative workflow may not be like others' creative workflow and I think we know it was a rhetorical question (it's a comment about Reason on a Reason video). Btw, the node based approach may be on a modern level, but it's not new. Just think of NI Reaktor. Personally I'm not interested in that too much. For me it's a creativity blocker. I just want to make music my way and I've always found my way back to Reason, because of it's compact and modular nature and the way it simulates an "endless" rack.

Then experiment with the Vibrato and the Glide on the Friktion along with the Scream's P1, P2, and Body knobs. Even the Scream's Auto knob (auto-wah) is awesome. I've been searching for this for a long time. The Harmonics on the Friktion is also insane.

Yes, but you still get the use of it while it's not a part of the Suite. Reason studios pricing structure is very fair. I own Suite 11. Suite 11 has several instruments in it that I bought when they were individual paid RE's. Am I upset that they bundled instruments that I paid for into Suite 11? No, because I still got to use them for all that time that they were NOT a part of any suite. The Reason Studios Value for Money is among the highest in the music industry considering what you get for that money. The only other company that comes close is Native Instruments IMHO.

Gotta say it guys, no matter how good Friktion is, I'm shaking my head here.

Now for clarifying to myself why a couple of the racks are seemingly redundant mixers and audio channels, and why would I need them, when there's already a fantastic SSL desk sim right there. This strings synth looks great. I'm not even into strings, but I'm now GASing for it, go figure. I did work out what the "players" are, and am stunned with their usefulness.

@@nebstaism Yeah... the sequencer needs updating compared to other daws for sure, but I personally have not run into something that I couldn't do that would realistically affect my music in the end. I only feel its lacking when I look at the features from other daws and compare. That's not an excuse for reason, and they should keep up with the others. However, I tried working with a few other daws (Live and Reaper, which I still use very rarely) and they don't feel as good. The spontaneous creativity of using rack devices, players working seamless with the sequencer, instant instrument loading compared to some VSTs all have brought me back to reason. The other ones, which are more powerful in many aspects (especially Reaper... that thing is ridiculously powerful) feel bland and are not as inspiring or fun for me and affects the music I make. My point is I feel Reason has everything I NEED but not everything I WANT. Anyways, the move to make it a VST must have been something challenging to do and probably took a lot of time to implement, which is why 11 was an underwhelming release for reason users with few workflow improvements, but they kind of made that up for that with the suite bundle. Seriously, having to list the ability to see input midi notes on the piano roll as a 'feature' is pathetic!!! Now that the VST thing is out of the way, they have no excuses now. I feel the next release will be more Reason focused as they haven't released too many REs compared to how many they released during Reason 10s life.
