The only thing they would have/would have had to do is improve Reason by implementing basic crucial features. What do you mean with "especially to younger users"? Sorry, but that is DUMB DUMB really DUMB nonsense.I really don't know what ReasonStudios can do at this point to make Reason enticing especially to younger users who they really need to market too. The only thing I can think of for Reason to do is to maybe make something else.
[This being adressed at whatever corporation is doing this:]
Don't dumb things down because you're too stupid/clueless/lazy and then claim "that's what they asked for"
(the popular media has been playing this game for decades - abysmal level of journalism justified by "they wouldn't understand us otherwise").
- Younger users might want to record something they came up with on their keyboard
They might have troubles getting it right on the first take, but instead might need a few instead. Reason currently provides no proper solution to this.
- younger users might want to record their violin (yes, there are still young folks playing all kinds of instruments).
If they are bowing slowly they have to start before the first bar they actually want to record onto (due to the slow attack - same with many synths pads and silimar sounds/instruments). If they want to record in a loop, Reason currently does not provide a proper solution for this (lack of slip-editing).
- younger users might want to tax their CPU a little bit more but need low-latency.
Reason currently doesn't provide freezing.
- younger users might want to "bundle" several tracks in a folder
Reason currently doesn't offer this.
- younger users might want to record an alternative version of the song/project they are working on.
Reason currently doesn't provide a reasonable solution for this as all audio-files are incoporated in the project-file and there's no project-version feature.
- younger users might want to record their Seaboard, Linnstrument, Joué (etc.)
Reason currently doesn't provide a solution for this because there's no MPE support.
- younger users might want to benefit from all the wonderful solutions ARA2 offers.
Reason currently doesn't provide any solution for this.
and so forth and so forth. It's really neither rocket-science nor a real problem UNLESS they make it one by ignoring both reason and (the majority of) their core userbase.
If the company had to file for insolvency/would get dumped by their investors within the next half a year or so it would be 100% self-inflicted and completely deserved. That's how it is. Frankly put, they pissed on our legs for long enough at this point. We've been waiting patiently for years and years and years for them to come up with real, substantial improvements to Reason the DAW.
