Reason Studios intros lower pricing, Rack as a separate product, and new tools

January 21, 2026 Synth Anatomy DAW, News, Software 0

Reason Studios has introduced new lower pricing on its products, Rack is now available as a separate product, and new tools for Reason+.

It was announced at the beginning that LANDR had bought the Swedish company Reason Studios. The official announcement clarified that development will continue and will be more intensive than before.

Now comes the first decision of the new management. Reason Studios has introduced lower pricing for its products, making them more accessible.

Reason Studios Lower Pricing

New lower pricing for the Reason Studio family. LANDR, the new management is taking action and making many things more affordable.

First, Reason Rack is now available on its own for $199 as a plugin for creators that already have a preferred DAW and just want more affordable access to Reason’s 60+ instruments, effects, and modular workflow.

The decision is very good, as I have wanted this for a long time. Alternatively, you can get the Reason Rack as a subscription at $11,99/month or $99/year.

Then, Reason DAW is now available at a new, lower price of $299 (down from $499), making its powerful, full-featured production environment more affordable for a wide range of creators.

The DAW market is highly competitive, and taking this step makes sense. $499 was too much in my opinion. DAWs like Bitwig Studio, Logic Pro, and others remain available for less.

There is also a change for the Reason+ subscription. Reason+ is now available for $169 per year, down from $199. That’s not all.

Subscribers will also receive additional value by consolidating creative tools and services previously accessed through separate subscriptions.

This expanded offering includes professional AI mastering, global music distribution, a library of over 3 million samples, more than 20 plugins, and AI-powered tools such as stem separation, vocal restoration, and sample adaptation

Together, these additions bring production, finishing, and distribution tools into a single subscription designed to support creators from idea to release, without increasing cost. Pascal Pilon, CEO of LANDR, says:

Artists have been clear about wanting more flexibility, features and value. These changes are designed to deliver on those needs while preserving the creative workflow that makes Reason unique.

First Impression

It was to be expected that there would be changes at Reason Studios under the new LANDR management. Making Reason more affordable is positive news. Now it’s up to the new management to develop the DAW, the rack, etc.

Whether this makes sense and offers real added value for the DAW and the user remains to be seen.

Reason Studios products are available now at the new lower pricing models (new pricing goes online later today).
