Propellerhead Software has announced updates to its Reason and Reason Essentials music production software.

Reason 6.5.3 and Reason Essentials 1.5.3 fix a few serious bugs, the most important being a problem where the program could crash under Mac OS X 10.8. These new versions replaces versions 6.5 and 1.5 of Reason and Reason Essentials. It is recommended that you update as soon as is convenient.

Changes in Reason / Reason Essentials

  • Fixed a problem related to scrollbars under Mac OS 10.8, where the program could crash.
  • Fixed a Create Menu bug, where sometimes the wrong device would be created.
  • Fixed a bug in how the Browser uses the registry under Windows. This could lead to situations where some file types couldn’t be browsed and loaded.
  • The Download All function for Rack Extensions could cause the Authorizer to misbehave or fail.

The updates are now available to download.
