Retro Reason Studio VM released! -> Reason now runs on Linux!

[JoKingly]

It's been over a year since I posted here. Now I'm back with some good news: Reason can now run reliably under Linux!

What does this mean? You can always make music in retro-style on any computer that can run Linux. (And it's easy to move your studio to a new system if your hardware starts failing.)

For years I have been making music on Reason. Even though I have a license to use Reason 10, I prefer the last version that did not dail into the Internet and had no on-board recording: version 5.0.1.

I've waited for Reason to arrive on Linux for years, but that did not happen, until today. ;-) First I set up Reason on Linux via WINE for a several months, but got fed up with the little glitches that come along with that.

So... I created a 32-bit low-latency VM which can run Reason that throws you back to the early 2010's. It is fully decked out to make music in old-skool style on Linux. Still slightly modernized using a dark theme style, and useful window snapping functionality. I've also made a video introducing it, and hope it helps more people to just get out there and make music!

Thanks!  Currently expanding possibilities, like being able to interface with third-party VSTs. I hope to make a new video about such things soon.
