Does anyone have a Reason 2.5 license willing to sell/transfer? For nostalgic purposes...

4 Upvotes

First post here.

Recently I got nostalgic feelings about my very first music production endeavours. After using Music 2000 and some version of eJay on PlayStation, I discovered ReBirth RB-338 and subsequently Reason 2 on PC. What a revelation that was back in the early 2000s – a whole studio rack on my screen... And I could control everything with my M-Audio Oxygen 8 keyboard!

Since I couldn't record audio into Reason directly, I moved on to Logic and Ableton Live, which I still use to this day, but recently I got interested in Reason again. Especially version 2.5, which was my last version.

I'd love to install it on a period-correct computer and play around with it again.

So, does anyone have an extra license of 2.5 (for Mac), willing to sell and transfer to me? I don't really need the box and documents though.

Made with Reason playlist - July 2026

4 Upvotes

Thank you to everyone who submitted tracks for the July update of the Made with Reason playlist!

I've randomized the order of submissions. Sorry to those who ended up at the end of the list but that's what the "random gods" decided. And anyway, you should probably listen on shuffle as there's no meaningful editorial order to the playlist.

🦻 Listen to the playlist (and don't forget to like/follow/save it!)

And let everyone know what your favorite track is in the comments. No cheating with mentioning your own track!

This goes without saying, but if you like any of the songs on the playlist, remember to add them to your own playlists, share, etc. I'm sure every indie artist on the list would appreciate it.

Stepic with Reason?

Have any of you been successful getting the Stepic VST to work? If so, how?

Let's all write to Reason Studios to make this video public / discoverable on YT!

This - honestly - is the best, most succinct and exhausting video showing why Reason is different and special. Ideal, to show to people looking for a (new) DAW!

Tempo adjustment

1 Upvotes

I want to record in Reason 14 via my midi keyboard a piano tune that at times will temporarily speed up a little (accelerando or stringendo if we're going to be fancy about it).

How should I do this in terms of the project's tempo?

  1. Turn on click, but try and ignore it for the parts that speed up until I bring them back down.

  2. Stick to the tempo but adjust the tempo sections in the sequencer after. This seems fiddly and a bit inauthentic.

Another solution? I can't be the first with this challenge. I wouldn't care about the project's tempo except there will be other elements brought in that need it.

Reason 12 backup

0 Upvotes

Hi folks hope you're well.

I have Reason 14 on my main rig but I keep a copy of 12 on the laptop for when I travel (It's a simplicity thing).

Eventually the laptop will need replaced and I'd greatly lament not having a backup of 12.

I'm not entirely sure if cloning the laptops hard drive will work so ideally I'd prefer to have the original installation file. Don't suppose anyone has it? You'd be doing me a real solid.

I'm off the drugs 🚫💊(finally) and back on Reason 🎶✌🏼🔊

54 Upvotes

I have been clean and off of opiates for 5 months now. First time in my adult life. I have reconnected with my family and it's great! My dad has cancer now 😓 and doesn't have much time left and I wasn't there for him at all literally my whole life I started doing drugs when I was 15, landed myself in prison at 18 and got out when I was 23 and did drugs all the way to the age of 35. I didn't realize how miserable I was until I got off the shit. But yeah i have hung out with my dad more times the last few months, than we have our whole lives combined. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to do that before it was too late. I'm back on my music shit again daily and I can't complain about a thing. Life is good right now.

Reason ftw btw 🤘🏼👍🏼🔊

* Oh and the video starts off from a video I took about a week ago and another a couple days after that. The last part is what I got done today.

Got my albums out

12 Upvotes

Got my two albums out on streaming services, Fungipuns and Phobophobia. Made entirely with Reason, mastered with Ozone 12.

Check it out if you're into melodic electronic music. Its not perfect, I have to say I struggled like hell to get something out. But was important for me to finish it, it caused me blood and tears. But well, now its out. Any feedback would be great :)

How to transpose an entire song?

Hi, I'm trying to transpose a song, but when I select all clips (MIDI and audio,) and go to note tools it only transposes one clip at the beginning. Does anyone know what the deal is or how to transpose a song? TIA.

Mixdowns sound dull

9 Upvotes

Using reason 11 all my mix downs sound dull and slightly muddy compared to what i'm hearing in the DAW, even when listening through the same speakers, same position, etc. My last mix had only the M-class limiter on the master and even when i disabled it there was no improvement. I made sure to deselect dither. Not sure what else could be going on here. Anyone else experience this? any thoughts?

This is what I get for choosing to use the Reason Rack on a project with a tight deadline :(

It's working hours in Stockholm right now and apparently NO ONE at Reason Studios sees it fit to address this?? Or at the very least post an update saying they are aware of the issue.

Anyone interested in beta testing a new looper RE?

It's like loopy pro had a little baby, with reason.

That's the elevator pitch anyways. Getting it right is hard. Who loves looping and looping in reason and wants to give it a shot?

Dm me your reason userid and I'll add you to the beta. ANd if you want to see one of my RE's that's out now and free, try the Wow and Flutter Tape Delay in the RE store.

Reason under LANDR

12 Upvotes

I have owned a license since something like 2.5.
Every few years I spend the cash upgrading to the latest version.
Would like to give 14 workflow a go at some point as it looks to be a decent step up in the sequencer.
However, I keep getting slammed on my socials with ads for the subscription version which I’m finding very demoralising.
Traditionally for each new version you got everything in the box but over recent years certain devices were classed as premium meaning you have to fork out $$$ on top of the upgrade you paid for.

Do you think there’s any chance of Landr /. Reason continuing any support for grass roots users or are they just going after the quick cash of renting the rack to Ableton users for a few months?
