Reason - My feature suggestions

Dear Propellerheads, Reason is great! It's fast, stable and intuitive... but there are some features that I really would like to see soon.... (well, I don't think the Props actually will read this, but I have to get this out of my system! Home made therapy ftw!. ;) )

Here we go...


  • The SSL Mixer
    • When marking several channels and changing volumes, all selected channel volume sliders should move in parallel.
    • Add the dB values on all channels + master channel, so one can easily see how loud the signal is.
  • The Rack
    • The possibility to lock devices to prevent accidentally moving them, or maybe the option to move devices with right mouse button.
    • The ability to set opacity level on the cables.
    • The ability to zoom in and out of the rack would be awsome!
  • The Tool window
    • A page where you can view, open and close open projects(.reason files), and when closing all windows the tool window remains (keeping Reason still running) where you can open a new project. Now it's a bit annoying that Reason quits when closing all windows, when you really just wanted to close the current project and open another one.
  • The Sequencer
    • I would like to get 'unlimited' vertical zooming, so I can get really close when editing audio (or MIDI).
  • Other
    • More colors to choose from when coloring channels, clips and tracks! 16 more should probably do.
    • Undo history (in the tools window), and be able to undo/redo specific operations.


Phew... Now I feel better and can get back to mixing. :)
