How to open RNS file?
The most common problem when using Reason Song Format is that a specific RNS is not associated with the program. This causes the file RNS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RNS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Reason
The first step is to check if the computer has the Reason program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Reason in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file RNS.
Programs to open RNS file
Remember to download programs supporting RNS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Reason with RNS files
If, despite the installed application, the RNS file does not start in the Reason application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RNS file with the Reason program.
Step 3. Update Reason to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Reason program with the Reason Song Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Propellerhead Software AB page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RNS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the RNS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RNS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RNS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RNS file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RNS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Propellerhead Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RNS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the RNS file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RNS file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
