Reason 14 Release

Reason Studios has announced Reason 14, the latest version of its flagship digital audio workstation, marking the most significant evolution of its workflow to date. Currently in beta testing, 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.

Mattias Häggström Gerdt, Product Manager at Reason Studios says, “With Reason 14, we set out to rethink the music-making workflow. By centering the experience around the sequencer and bringing key elements of each track and Rack into view, it’s easier to stay focused on what matters most: making music.”

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 meaningful 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.

Designed for both immediacy and depth, RV-9 continues Reason’s legacy of creative, high-quality audio tools.
