Reason Studios Electronic Music Sequencers

Considering this software is usually described as "studio in a box", it does lack something for me: I wish I could record straight into it, instead of having to export reason songs as audio files into cubase(or cakewalk) to finish the song. You can import an audio file into the sampler, but it's messy. Other than that, the features are great, and extensive. A really wonderful piece of software. Price paid £150ish Easy enough for a novice. I abhor manuals, so I study the examples and tutorial songs to learn. But you can definitely feel your way through. I'm sure it's even easier if you read the manuals. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE I have a Soundblaster Audigy soundcard... I've never had a problem w/ sound. The propellorheads website is chock full of help and info. Free samples to download... I've never had to contact customer support and I've had it two years now, so good on Reason! OVERALL OPINION I use this as my lifeline really, I have a midi keyboard, and so far it's saved me getting a piano. It's really got everything a budding musician could want. A synth and sampler w/ a HUGE library of sounds... a drum machine, a Dr REX loop thingy which is a life saver for those of us (me) who don't know the semantics of programming a drum machine. load of effects. This will be a great addition to any studio. Originally posted on FutureProducers.com Posted by: Unknown (January 0-, 2003)

With the new mastering suite,your sounds can pack a punch. But it would of been even better if it had some type of recylcing device where you can chop of your samples. Price paid $400 Pretty simple to use. Everything seems standard, at least for me.But lets say for the average Joe it might take a month or so to fully understand every tool. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Reason 3.0 is pack with a ton of new sounds.The sound has gotten alot better, though I wish they had better strings. If your looking for a Hip/Hop production tool,look for reasons 3.0.But reasons isn't just made for Hip/Hop. Great quality and great durability. Its not reasons you have to worry about its really how good of shape is your PC in. Reason 3.0 takes up alot of memory,not too much though. Nothing real noticable. Souldn't effect your internet speed or nothing like that. OVERALL OPINION I simply can't leave this program alone. How bad I always wanted a MPC,reason 3.0 is addictive.
