There’s also a sizeably expanded soundbank and some tweaks to the browser – although this latter element still feels a little dated compared to other DAWs. While this doesn’t really add value, the devices were beginning to look a little ‘low-res' and, with its iconic hardware-style design, if any DAW deserves HD visuals it’s Reason. On the visual front, Reason 12 also benefits from updated graphics.
It’s a really nice update in all, one that adds a sense of real excitement to designing and customising your own instrument and effect patches. This includes adding and arranging an assortment of hardware-style controls, resizing the device panel and even importing a custom image for use as the interface backdrop. So far, so standard, but Combinator sets itself apart with a highly customisable interface that allows users to create their own custom UI. Instruments can be arranged to create layers, keyboard splits, velocity zones and have their parameters assigned to top-level macro controls. The updated device allows users to combine and store any assortment of Reason Rack devices and – in DAW mode – third-party VSTs. The other major update comes to Reason’s Combinator, which is used to house and save multi-device patches. As a whole, it doesn’t do a lot that we haven’t seen before from samplers in rival DAWs, but it’s nicely designed and fills a notable hole in Reason’s toolset. Logic Pro X 10.5 adds a wealth of empowering features and systems, including grid-based clip launching and an embarrassment of sampling riches.Īdding samples is a simple case of drag-and-drop, and Mimic features automatic root note detection – although in our tests this proved rather hit-and-miss when used with anything other than clean and simple tones. It retains its place at the cutting edge of DAW technology.įL Studio is a powerful and inspirational application - and a welcome addition to the Mac realm!
Live 11’s new additions here have been smartly implemented.
