when I said "like the old tape" was not to match 1:1 with a real tape and the old recording techiques...it was simply an example of simplicity, where Reason tend to be similar to the real studio workflow than a iper modern midi/audio editor...too litle for a "modern&mighty", no?1. BlocksHow is Reason sequencer more modern&mighty than other DAWs?In certain - to some folks (me included) very important - regards no other DAW's sequencer is as modern&mighty as Reason's.
2. audio clips are containers
folders? midi note chase? mpe? markers? punch-in/punch-out? retrospective record? theese features make a DAW modern and mighty
Please don't take what I wrote out of context in order to push your own agenda.
First of all I wrote "in certain, to some folks [...] very important regards", which is a double restriction that can't be ignored in any further discussion.
Of course Reason is way behind the competition in other regards and personally I'm on the record saying it here for years.
And secondly my post was a specific reply to a very specific claim of yours, which was - just to refresh your memory - the following:
"so the sequencer is a simple multi track, like the old tape"
And again, no that is absolutely not the case. Ironically enough you however then go on to complain about Reason's lack of punch in/out, which is an outdated function that's a leftover
from the age of tape-recording which is not at all required in a modern DAW - certainly not in the slighest in Reason, which has Blocks and containers for audio.
edit: typos
About "pushing my agenda", I simply responded to your list of features that makes Reason modern from your POV...I still think that the features that make modern Reason can't be only blocks and audio clip containers even if very usefull. There are a plenty of other features that make modern a DAW, like the ones that I listed.
Anyway, which is your workaround to avoid punch-in in Reason? I would like to let the singer hear his voice previously recorded then hook up the record from the punch-in point, that is very usefull instead of create another track or overwrite and comping...
