Simple Reason help

[rhanson187]

I feel stupid asking this question. I have a rudemetary knowledge of Reason. I used it sparingly off and on for a few months, taught myself the basic - everything seemed to work just fine. Recently I came back to the program after not using it for a few months. MIDI input still worked, I still remembered what was where, yada yada. But the play key won't work anymore. Spacebar gets me nowhere, pushing the button on the graphic interface don't work - wtf? I know it's something simple - could someone please let me know what to change.

thanks

Re: Simple Reason help

gotta be a setting in Preferences or something
i am no Reason user, but that sounds about right to me.

edit: check your Hot Key settings too

Re: Simple Reason help

Well it could be a number of things.... do you have any other rewire devices running? Any new software installed? You tried looking at the Reason transport panel to make sure "focus - play" isn't turned off? Is that button lit?

Re: Simple Reason help

checked the preferences, nothing in there that affects this problem. Hot Keys shouldn't be the problem either, the graphical play button is unresponsive as well as the spacebar. Anyone have this problem before.

Hypothetically speaking - would this happen to a "pirate" copy of tyhe software? Hypothetically speaking that is.

Nothing is running through rewire, no other audio programs are running at all. I get no response whethere the "focus - play" is lit or not.

Re: Simple Reason help

Fixed it. It was under the transport panel "focus - enable" needed to be unlit. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
