Tracks from Reason can be mixed down to the cloud as well, and you can contribute ideas to other peoples’ projects. These ideas can either be sent to Discover, which is a sort of online gallery of musical ideas, or opened in Reason on your computer via the website. This allows you to start a project on the move using the Figure app to put together some beats and sounds, then send it to the cloud or to another user to open in Take, the Props’ vocal recording mobile app. The Backline Rig, for example, is a bunch of instruments and effects for people making rock, pop, blues and the like.Īs well as some fixes, Reason 8.1 added the new Drop to Propellerhead service into the application.
More recently, the Props have started creating bundles of Rack Extensions at significant discounts, themed around types of production. This removed one of users’ biggest gripes, a lack of expandability. These are fully fledged members of the Rack : instruments and effects that are developed independently but work just like Reason’s own modules. Rather than supporting VST or AU plug-ins, which if poorly coded or out of date can crash an application, they introduced Rack Extensions. The Props also unlocked the world of third party add-ons but did so in their own inimitable fashion.
