Wish List.....

[Shonsteez]

I dont know how pointless this thread is, but i am curious to see what other "long-time users" feel could be added to the prgm to make things more flexible and run smoother - so if you got any suggestions lets here em'!....

I for one would def like to see some newer more organic sounding synths with better oscilating capabilities..... Specifically; a synth that can sample a loaded sound like you would load into the NNXT but intsead afterwards have the oppotunity to manipulate with more synth options....(Yes, the NNXT does offer some synth envelopes to mess with, but their pretty boring after using the prgm as long as i have).....

Another thing i think Reason could greatly benefit from would be better editing tools for the sequencer as well as more organic sounding quantizing grooves....(I for one try to record with quantize off unless absolutly nessecary, but when i do have to result to using the quantize features im always a bit disapointed).

Lastly; I would really be happy to see a facelift on the Redrum....God would that be nice! lol....Stuff like adding more envelopes to each channel and offering things like note repeat with a resolution knob would be great. Also, there should be simple features like Reverse and things like that as well....I feel like the more possibilties for changing a sound the better. (the only way this is achievable as of now is to load numerous NNXTs and add the effect you want through there which is annoying because then if you want to record each NN at the same time you have to essentially turn them all into their own Redrum again by gating each NN to a redrum channel that way they can all be triggered via one module (ie. the redrum)......Anyways, shit like that just tends to annoy me but i make due. ​

What do u guys/girls think is missing????

VST support. Not Necessary, but sometimes I want to use sampletank or a sound from the minimoog. and its a pain to close reason, then open cubase, then open reason and all that shit (since reason only acts as a slave).

Also I wish you could maximize the windo fully. I mean the rack doesnt have to stretch, but damn its annoying sometimes to be makin a beat in a lil as window, and still see my background off to the side, i like to be IN the program. but thats just me. and its not a big deal at all.

Audio Importing with the Time Stretch Feature. This is not high on my priorities list, but it would make things go much smoother and easier.. in one program.

The addition of the combinator cleans up a whole lot of stuff. so thats good.

i think thats it for now. ooohh. Being able to load samples into the malstrom. the possibilites are endless with the shit they give u, and the patches on the net. but dammit, it would be great if u can load a sample into it like an NNXT with al lthe flexibility of the malstrom.

Yuuup....thats what i was tryin to touch on too....That would def be dope.

 

[Sanova]

yea my bad i just re-read ur post. but hey its worth mentioning twice i guess

 

[Tajasmark]

Duece and Sanova I agree with both of you, but I would love VST support and a combination of the nn-xt & nn-19 samplers for better flexibility and less confusion.

 

[djrekonize]

they need vst support badly, make something like a combinator in which you can add a vst

 

[Haze47]

i cant think of jack really i only ever use NNXTs never anything else, i guess it is what you use it for, I ONLY use it as a sequencer, everything else is freaked in SF8...but good ideas guys, but i fear if they did that afformentioned shit, price would rocket, and be like at the same cost as SX3.....innabit....SEEN

That could be a good thing.. The more expensive something is.. The more difficult it is to buy.. and thus... The more freely it will be available on the net. (i.e. SX3)

kidding. kinda

 

[Shonsteez]

Well the prgm's already a rip off, but what software isnt really??....Its like a buying a pair of Nikes over a pair of payless shoes, alot is in the branding.....But yeah, i honestly dont really care if they never offer vst support because i actually like the predictablity of using the fx inside the prgm and what they have to offer however, like i said some things could def get improved.

 

[mikemat]

VSTs more than anything, thats really all I wish they would add but also it seems like things I make in reason get somewhat of a blander sound than other programs and I'm not sure why that is

 

[Chrono]

i wish to get more time because ive got stories to tell, beats to rite, and concepts to KILL

 

[Shonsteez]

Very poetic...lol.

I wish it supported mp3 files, and it would be cool if I could drag and drop files to the sampler devices.
They should do something with that website too.

 

[skidflow]

I wish FL had the same kicks and snare sounds as Reasons. I wish I did'nt have to jack Reasons for the drum kits!!!

BLOW!!!

Here are a few things I would like to see (most of which will probably never happen):

1. Add a Matrix-like step sequencer that can play multiple notes for chords, etc.

2. Add some goodies to the sequencer, like just dragging to auto repeat groups of notes rather than ctl-dragging each copy individually, or folder and marker tracks.

3. Allow the ability to automate tempo changes.

4. Add real time stretching support for loops. If REX has to go for this, so be it.

5. Extend rewire somehow so that you can dictate which channels are mono and stereo and the rewire host complies.

6. Find some way to make the rack wires other than the one you are moving transparent.

7. Either allow making the rack either wider, zoomable. or support side-by-side racks so that there isn't so much screen waste.

8. Add waveform displays to the NN-XT so you can see the loop start and endpoints of the samples.

9. Add a real arpegiator rack device.

10. Add more assignable knobs and buttons to the combinator - 4 of each was a nice start but not enough.

11. Add some building blocks like individual LFO's or a spline curve envelope device to supply control voltages so that we don't have to waste a whole subtractor or malstrom just for its LFO in the rack. In the case of LFO's, allow them to be either synchronous with the tempo or free running.

12. Add a view of the sequencer for NNXT and NN-19 that shows the names of the samples rather than piano keys if a user chooses to.

Oh, and one more big one (which is very likely to happen). Make it so you can close the last project without ending Reason entirely (for the PC, I understand Macs have it like that already).

BLOW!!!

you really need some good drum sounds then, the drums that come with reason are ok but not really that good

 

[Shonsteez]

I dont think sounds are really a issue unless its regarding the sound created from the subtractor or the malstrom.....Attaining good drum sounds and samples is kinda part of the game as a producer so i dont consider that as a downfall existing in the prgm....I mean, even the mpc comes with shitty ass drums loaded into it....you just cant rely on the stock sounds, there usually no good.

[afriquedeluxe]

midi out and audio in would be great , so external sound modules can be used.

 

[Shonsteez]

Oh word...thats a good one
