Why not just make everything to -6 (or so) in the first place? I do not unterstand why pushing to zero then pulling back to -6.

How to install this?

How did you multi select those notes for the hi-hats ?

Ive never used Reason exclusively tbh, I ve always used other Daws. Ive created many tracks in Reason over the years...going back to when I used to run Reason into Logic 9 via rewire. Right now besides Reason 12 Im using ProTools, Logic Pro 11, Ableton Live Suite and Mpc desktop software plus an MPC Live 2, not too mention Daws on my Ipad. Honestly I feel like $199 is asking too much for what we're getting. Can I afford it? of course...but is it worth it? Not in my opinion...as far as the new synth goes...I already have enough 3rd party synth plugins that sound just as good if not better to me. I don't see myself reaching for it at lot. If I'm being honest..Reason is far from being my main or go to Daw. I jump in it from time to time but out of the others daws I mention I use Reason the least. I probably wont upgrade..maybe when Reason 14 comes out it'll have something for me to get excited about.

Awesome Video! Thank you ❤

Great vid. I love reason. But. Not to have the midi features is long long overdue. And i wont be paying for the upgrade when if they introduce it. I love love the rack. The browser should have been an addition, not a replacement imho. The biggest frictions for me are the overpricing charging so much all the time., forcing of the + model to get the "full" rack. Midi is a huge one for me. I open a reason sesh, but then switch to bitwig because of frustration in reasons editing, midi etc. Cpu for 3rd party is terrible, Again bitwig is superb. In short. Do I need Reason, no. Do I still love the rack, more than ever, will I continue to upgrade from thirteen upwards, probably not tbh. Im gutted how its being treated to be honest. This thing still has so much promise. Sorry for the novel. But Reason I kinda love. Bought Reason 3, hopped on again from 10 onwards lol. 😎 overall. They need to, for me at least. Make a decision as to what it is, but for me it hasnt been my DAW for a couple of years. Right now its expensive ideation tool. I hope that there feeling the pulse of the of the users cuz I dont think they do lol.

Im already use to it and truly it helps you flow faster

I have been looking for you since 13 dropped. You one of my favorite teachers

I have a problem with my recycle Software. It does play the sample but no sound if anyone can answer thank you.

You are such a pro, young lady. Very comprehensive walkthrough and clear description. I love you are being real about we are using Reason for different things, and that some of us integrate into other DAWS as well. Well done and I will do the upgrade based on your walkthrough. Cheers

Thank you!❤🎉

Reason Gang for Life…

just grabbed the Vox sauce good looking

That's actually really good

The upgrade for me has been really really good. The changes to the sequencer and browser seem small at first but after using these features for a month my workflow is smoother than its ever been in Reason. Besides the new features I feel like at this point Reason is as stable and rock solid as its ever been. So far 13 has been one of my favorite updates in a long while.

Sticking with reason

I moved on a while ago… It’s not fully standalone… you need a wifi connection in order to maintain functionality. I should not have to log on the Propellerhead web site to monitor use… I should never have to need wifi to make music… what if I can’t get a signal, or even have access to log on

Are you forgetting the video where you slate reason, but you spend money oncthen still 😂 your an absolute joke

nice vid will try to test it out

Note chase...please Reason...add this in 13

I absolutely hate the new changes to the layout, specifically that the browser is now a separate window no longer included in the device panel and I also absolutely hate the "Edit Area" being open at the same time as the sequencer, these changes do not align with how I have used the program for ages.

Reason for me=an occational go to

I was looking forward to Reason 13. Recent upgrades have been disappointing, but this looked promising. At my age I don't want to waste any more time being distracted by shiny stuff. The idea of the browser upgrade is excellent but I have found that the search doesn't work too well. It's OK, but now frustrating in a different way. I love the Polytone though! Good rich sounds straight off. And Ripley takes the work out of achieving good quality delay/reverb. The downside I now have a rack accumulating legacy devices that I no longer use. It'd be a nice idea to be able to create a folder to put these in. Maybe they could call it the loft!

People are ALWAYS COMPLAINING about no matter updates / upgrades Reason has come up with. For me THEY'RE. AMONG THE BEST DAWs on the market but you're so much focusing on some pointless details from other Daws, then it becomes almost impossible for you to notice that reason is AMONG THE BESTS

THNX! Wondering why my reason rack lacks the step sequencer.

Hey now : can you help me with this? In REASON 11 in a side toolbar and in the pitch tab it clearly states transpose in semitones: but instead it's jumping whole octaves is this a bug? Thank you and Cheers 🥂🥂

This was a great video. We don't have endless money to spend on software so sometimes it's a tough choice. However, I'll upgrade at some point as I've been using Reason for so long. I don't even use VSTs, just REs. Reason Studios have always been slow and steady, it's just the way it is. Two things I really appreciate: backwards compatibility & stability. I also like the RE ecosystem. If you buy it, you can use it forever. The fact that all REs were converted to Apple Silicon without the original developer's intervention is really cool. I feel I can really get behind a company that works so hard to protect its customers investments in software.

It's just the beginning.. dada dada

Yeah it's annoying pressing tab and distracting massively.. so front and back at the same time as an option be cool, even just a detachable window and have optional scroll lock to scroll together or not! A window, in a watt?

Dadadada so , here goes. Front and back panel view. At the same time OMG flipping workflow.. r what about splitting the cv to contoll 2 synths.. oops 2002 haha

I watch a ton of these videos and it's normally hours of "huh?" or "I already knew that" to get one little nugget of helpful info. But your video has helped me understand the process more than all of them combined. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤ Subbed!

Thanks for the thorough walk-through!

Lil mans is a beast!

I have a question regarding time-stretch: I always thought Reason had a very good algorithm for this task. But what do YOU (or anyone reading this) recommend as the superior time-stretching program (or programs)? TYIA and happy music-making.

One thing I will say is that the new “F9” browser should at-least be able to drag to a 2nd screen. It’s huge and in the way of the instruments. I would love an option to revert to the classic browser. Kind of getting use to it now tho lol. Yielding. Respectfully.

Looking forward to hearing this video. I’m returning after a 10 year hiatus, halting at Reason 5. Been back at it since February, just in time for reason 13!

Bitwig is Reason on steroids, look out for polarity music‘s channel

Every daw has pros and cons..and people complain about each on of them

Moises works on mobile

I use Reason 12 as a VST in Cubase daily. Haven't opened the DAW version in a long, long time. Reason 13 doesn't interest me at all, because the new DAW changes don't matter to me, the utilities don't matter to me, and the two new devices aren't enough to justify a $199 upgrade price tag. Extremely bad value proposition. When I think of all the things they could have done in the 3 years since Reason 12 dropped and didn't, it makes me head hurt. If they did a mid-cycle update and added a couple more cool devices and gave a voucher for a free RE or something, I'd be pushed over the line to buy Reason 13. I don't see them doing that, though. If they updated Recycle to modernize it (to compete with Serato Sample in every way, Stem Separation, gave it a dark theme) and added it to Reason as a device, and it could edit and print stems to Cubase from the Rack plugin, I would buy a Reason upgrade for sure. I'll probably buy Objekt this fall, so they'll get at least some money from me this year. But I feel like they're running out of ideas and aren't very motivated to achieve greatness anymore.

Everything they upgraded was useful but should have been free update. To come out with a new version with these small upgrades was not a flex for reason. Development should focus on some sort of hardware device that compliments the software. That would change the game and put them in an arena to compete again. I have mpc and maschine and they are both easier and more fun to work with . Imagine pulling up reason synths mixer and devices on a dedicated device 😮.

Reason's updates always tend to feel small compared to other DAWs. Browser is a nice new feature but it feels like baby steps. Compared to Ableton which have bigger minor releases than Reason's major releases. It feels like they cant keep up with updates fast enough.

I've been trying a variety of DAWs since the 90's, but me and many people i know have been hardcore Reason users and advocates since versions 10 or 11. But the move to R13 has made me scurry back to Ableton and FL Studio with my tail between my legs. . Firstly, while the new synth might be great, between what Reason already has, and my ever growing collection of third party plug-ins, another synth is not what i need. If anything, i need to loose a few! So between that one synth, and the couple of new utilities, calling this a whole version upgrade is a bit much from my point of view. Yes, i was looking forward to trying a different delay and ducking device, but that's hardly worth the price alone, is it? . Because there's that pricing. For anyone new to Reason, whose grown up in this age of endless subscriptions, £20 a month for the full, better, constantly updated version with far more devices and all of the perks is just a no-brainer. Go for it, i probably would if i was you now. But some of us paid huge sums back when ownership meant something (between my initial purchase, the upgrades since, and random extras from the online store i must have spent at least £800 on Reason so far). And we did so because the standard at the time was that we would then pay a much lesser amount to stay up to date with every new version. But Reason are doing their best to kill off that old model, with nothing but a callous attitude to those of us who put them where they are now. . I was a bit late with the upgrade to 12, so i had nobody to blame but myself when it cost me a little more. But trying to upgrade to version 13 on the first day of sale i was asked for £200!! It's no coincidence that this is also the same price as paying for a years subscription up front, where you get two months for free, and many more instruments and effects. Reason know exactly what they did there, and many long term users that have learned all the shortcuts and have their life's work in Reason format now feel like they are over a barrel (with their pants down). . Not only that, but because of a sudden rush of work, one friend of mine tried to upgrade to version 12 just two weeks before 13 went on sale, and they still tried to charge her £500. Remember, this is someone who's already paid £500, and is now being asked for that amount again for the ''not as good as the £20 a month'' version, just 2 weeks before 12 became old!! So she felt like she had no choice but to bite the bullet, pay for the subscription, forget about older payments / ownership / being treated with respect, and just got on with her work trying to ignore the bitter taste in her mouth. . When i contacted Reasons help i suddenly realised just how often i've had to do that as a Reason user. I don't recall ever having to contact the makers of any other DAW about a problem, not once. And when i have contacted Reasons help it's only about 50% of the time that they actually have helped, or even been able to. At least twice i feel i've just been met with snarky comments. On this occasion i was just told to try the subscription, or check back through the year for sales. . For those that can't understand my anger at the new business model , imagine you are buying something else, like a car. Imagine you've agreed a price and paid, but on your way out you notice the next customer get offered a far nicer version of the same car that you just bought, but they are only asked a tiny fraction of what you paid. Wouldn't you feel disrespected? . To put this all into perspective, at roughly the same time as all this was going on (or maybe just a few weeks before) i did contact Ableton about possibly buying an older version for an older i-Mac i had sitting around. And Ableton just flat out said ''have one on us'' and GAVE me £350 worth of software for free. Also at the same time, FL have been giving out free updates for quarter of a century. Yes, they have just added a subscription for some extras as well. But that cost me £35 for a year (not a month, a year) to try some features that, putting it bluntly, p*** all over Reason 13. . Apart from music, i am also interested in consumer rights, and privacy and security in tech. And there's aspects to Reason 13 that give me pause for thought on all counts. And any company that can change it's terms and conditions long AFTER sale (as Reason did recently with an older version) needs to be avoided anyway. I'm not even sure that's legal. And if you are sat there laughing at all this and thinking that you made the right choice with your subscription, are you 100% certain that a company that acts like this now won't find a way to dick you over eventually? . Suffice to say, i'm one of those people that have moved on from Reason. And for anyone thinking of getting their first DAW, i would say to try Waveform or Reaper first. If you don't get on with either of those then you won't be out of pocket. And if you do like either then you'll never be tied to one operating system again as they work on all platforms. You're welcome. .

For some reason when I go to sequence mine doesn’t look like that. I don’t see the pitch edit bar either. I’m new and kinda lost on this part..

Great review. I have not moved on as i'm too into the analog emulation. This upgrade is redundant for me though as i purchased the plugin alliance entire bundle and i don't need any new devices.

From what I'm seeing R13 upgrade is not worth it. The floating browser and new tools look cool but there's no major change worth upgrading for. I'll stick with R12 for now. Still no midi outputs for VST3s or compatibility with Izotope RX. The stock Scale and Chords player is cool but the midi sequencer needs some serious updating so ghost notes or importing scales can be easy like I see in other DAWs.

Great video. Cheers 🙂

Sad to say Reason is falling behind.

This is still relevant in 2024 :). This is timeless

Great video. I like the R13 update I do understand a few of the complaints however I can do what I need to do all in Reason and Im happy with the results
