Reason 14 beta: new Track Panel, reverb, Dark Mode, more

Reason 14 probably won’t cross off every item on Reason users’ wish lists. But it sure tackles a lot: a new Track Panel and workflow, tons of improvements to the sequencer, Dark Mode, automatic import tempo detection, and more. Plus, since every Reason update really needs a device, this one gets the RV-9 Reverb Station.

Reason perpetual licenses now $199 for Rack, $299 for Reason

As expected, LANDR is adding plug-ins, mastering, and distribution services to the Reason+ subscription. Here’s the surprise: Reason Rack is available as a standalone, perpetual purchase for the first time ($199), with Reason perpetual licenses lowered to $299. (There’s also a new subscription for just Reason Rack.)
