Reason Studios has announced the release of Reason 14, the latest version of its flagship digital audio workstation, marking the most significant evolution of its workflow to date. The release introduces a new track-centric experience designed to give producers faster access, greater visibility, and more control across their projects, based on how producers work today.
A new way of working
At the core of Reason 14 is a redesigned, track-centric workflow that brings key elements of each track directly into the sequencer.
The new Track Panel provides a full overview of devices, signal chains, send levels, and panning for the selected track—reducing the need to move between views. Combined with Rack per Track, which gives each track its own dedicated Rack column, navigation becomes more immediate and intuitive.
A redesigned floating Rack window adds flexibility, allowing producers to work in a more modern, plugin-like environment when needed. The workflow remains modular, enabling users to adopt it fully or integrate it into their existing setup.
A more capable sequencer
Reason 14 introduces updates to the sequencer focused on speed and usability:
- Track Folders for better organization.
- Looped clips for faster arrangement and editing.
- Improved piano roll editing, including velocity handles.
Introducing RV-9 Reverb Station
Reason 14 also introduces RV-9 Reverb Station, the long-awaited successor to the widely used RV7000 Mkll Advanced Reverb.
Rebuilt from the ground up, RV-9 combines algorithmic and convolution techniques to deliver richer, more detailed spatial effects. It includes a full range of reverb types—from realistic spaces and hardware to unique granular and spectral algorithms—along with modern features such as shimmer, ducking, and integrated EQ.
Additional updates
- Dark Mode Mixer aligned with application themes.
- MIDI note chase for accurate playback mid-phrase.
- Automatic tempo detection for imported audio.
- Updated Factory Sound Bank with over 900 new drum samples and new patches.
- Updated Rack Extension SDK with improved interface capabilities.
