Luckily it&#8217;s very easy to solve and work around it. This error occurs when you save a song and another file with the same name in the same directory on systems that are set to hide the file extensions. For example, if you save a song called MySong.rns and it has a REX-file called MySong.rex, then Reason will try to load the Rex file as the song, resulting in a bad format message. For a quick fix &#8211; just rename the song and open it. For a permanent fix, do this:<br \/>1. Start the Windows Explorer <br \/>2. Go to View -> Folder Options <br \/>3. In the Folder options window, click the &#8216;View&#8217; tab <br \/>4. In the &#8216;Advanced Settings&#8217; field, disable the &#8216;Hide file extensions for known file types&#8217; option. <br \/>5. Click OK <\/p>\n<p>After doing this, Reason will probably report missing sounds when you open a song that you&#8217;ve had problems with earlier. Use the search and replace dialog to find the sounds and then save the song again. Doing this will fix the song.<\/p>\n<p>This bug will be fixed in the next update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34716],"storecat":[],"itemids":[11870],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the I created a song and saved it.
