How to open RSN file?
An often recurring problem with Reason Project Format is that RSN is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file RSN 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 RSN 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. This can be achieved by typing Reason into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support RSN files.
Programs to open RSN file
Remember to download programs supporting RSN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Reason with RSN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RSN file to open in the Reason application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RSN file with the Reason program.
Step 3. Update Reason to the latest version
If, however, after binding Reason with Reason Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Propellerhead Software AB website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RSN 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:
The RSN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RSN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RSN or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RSN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RSN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RSN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Propellerhead help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RSN files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the RSN file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RSN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RSN file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
