All user reviews for the Reason Studios Reason 3.0

-The Installation is simple but a bit long, I finally we will not be blamed to the software that came with 2GB of mortals samples ...!

ADQUATION / PERFORMANCE

IBook G4 1Ghz, 640MB DDR, 80GB HDD.
The software works perfectly on this config. A little limit on RAM even when we quickly leveled resources. Moreover, to have test on other machines, the bar is much CPU resources used in terms of RAM memory that processor ... so I think I rachterai of RAM if I must evolve my config.
That said I use the software for live applications with this config and from the moment it manages its rack correctly, it is doing everything without cracking or latency (MAC, PC, because it You will need to buy a sound worthy of the name card ...)

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 1 year.
I would like a MIDI output! !dropoff Window !dropoff Window It sucks to work several live with this software is the cross and the banner to synchronize all the lesser cot world.
The updates are too few frquentes.
Samples and patches provided are the domain of dlire! I have more than any desire to buy me digital piano I bought a good keyboard master and Reason was something really good. I am not speaking of the strings: solo violins are superb.
I will be more MODR for synths but hey, still has a software and it is already not bad. We arrive satisfactory rsultat with any sound in 4 mouse clicks.
And then the "big sound" (ha ha ...) everything is subjective, adpend of what we do and what we want, for me it suits me, sound. Well, reverbs are quite limited but is content ... and then to the live (or even recording for that matter) you can have a sound card with multiple outputs, cbler (virtually) a sending 'on the outputs and have a good rverb (PCM at Lexicon for example) and arsoud dfinitivement this concern with a small prmix.
Only big point ngatif, the compress an unfortunate tendency create a lightweight distortion: For a compress contained in a mastering rack has means when same.
The combinators: here is a great invention! (For people who regret this function to resource consumption reasons: group multiple samplers and treatments in a same rack to use some resources it is obliged to provide a little unpleasant. surprises especially when loading a patch combinator very heavy!! But hey, we do not make an omelette without breaking eggs).
The function remote with external controllers: royal!
Possibilities of practical time signatures (9/8 play with a metronome that plays 9/8 is rather good), both for the tempo 1000me bpm: practice to properly calibrate samples in measurement.
Regrettably even when the impossibility to automate the tempo is not always necessary but sometimes interesting.
Conclusion: for sounds is really not bad especially the internet offers free patches of good quality and then if you have not enough to invest in a couple of microphones and do your samples you even it's always better when we do everything from A Z for ergonomics is not bad but could do better ... (MIDI output, dammit!!!)

No worries, never had a crash

NOTICE GLOBAL

- How long have you use it?
Reason 3 since it came out, before I used Reason 2.5 so about 2 years since I use

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Not so simple in the beginning has used I like the quality and all that can be done with an electro sequencer or one little also do other music style

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Yes, Storm, fruity loops and orion platinum

- How do you report qualitprix?
Tolerable

- With the exprience, you do again this choice ...?
Yes without any worries

There weren't any compatibility issues when I was installing ReCycle. 
The setup of ReCycle is confusing at first but it is easier if you understand waveforms and can identify where each beat is in the loop you are working with. The manual gets pretty hairy at times, it's easier to have somebody teach you how to use it. Fortunately that's how I learned how to use it. The basic functions of ReCycle are pretty easy to access. There isn't a lot of backtracking and changing settings involved with using the program. 


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE


The software is designed to isolate each element in a drum loop. If a drum loop is put into ReCycle, the program isolates each note and allows you to set the tempo to a BPM of your choice. These loops can then be used in programs like Logic and Reason. Overall, the program itself identifies 90% of the notes played in each loop. It is up to the user to isolate each note from there. It actually can get pretty tricky if you are dealing with a complex loop, but overall, it's not too difficult. It allows you to work with an astonishing number of samples and loops that would be difficult, if not impossible, to work with otherwise. There's isn't a whole lot of gear necessary to run this program, so the configuration doesn't really provide any issues that need to be dealt with. I've used this program for about six months. After a few days I was really good at doing loops, which was helpful. 


OVERALL OPINION

I feel as though I would use this program more than I do. Considering I prefer to record live instruments, and I'm more of a ProTools guy anyway, this isn't really as helpful as I would have hoped. That being said, if processing drum loops and using them for your own compositions is your thing, this is a pretty great program. You'd probably having a difficult time without this or a similar program. I did not try any other models; the studio I work at purchased this. I think most software is overpriced, but compared to most audio programs this one isn't too bad. I personally wouldn't unless I needed to use Logic and drum loops more. Currently I have no use for it.

The trouble-free installation ... Note The program will copy the refills in the installation directory ... Very handy.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Abit IC7 - P4 3.2 GHz - 1.5 GB Ram - 74 GB 10 000 tr / min - RME HDSP 96/32
The software runs smoothly (no delays as the beta version)
Do not abuse the combinators as they pump a lot, everything depends on what's inside k'il
No stability problems so far, finally you have to test a few weeks ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two days that I use, but happiness that Combinator, the new file browser and the suite Mastering Class, really hats off!
I'm a fan of computer music and I tested a lot of programs, but I always come back to Reason, for some reason!
The price / quality ratio is good because it's worth it to spend that amount for the new features that provide ... Combinator Love!
I would definitely do it again this election and I encourage people to do the update ... You can always try the demo to get an idea ...

No problem with the installation. It's a bit long, but La Bestia is huge so ...
The general configuration is very simple, identical to the previous version. All is well recognized (master keyboard ...) provided you have installed the drivers (private joke).

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Config: Pentium 4 1.7 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 90 GB HDD, EMU 0404 for sound.
Performance: Well this is where the rub hence the 8.
For if the version 2.5 of my components running smoothly and use the same CPU, the demos provided row or stop playing because of resource ...
What is a little annoying, because even if I do not the latest model of PC, I not an old dung 1995. All this comes from the combinators which pump a lot of resources.
Otherwise it is stable ... Phew!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks, and except for a small performance problem is that the happy.
Lots of new sounds, new loops, the new search system files, and then fucks me ass Mastering floor. I often use elements independently (especially the compressor)
IT IS that good ... And the price is justified, even if at first you say that there are few new features (printing largely false) compared to version 2.5.

2 weeks with my experiences, I would definitely do it again this election.

WELL (by the way, reason 3 copies the factory sound banks and Scud directly install on the HD, so no more messages like "insert CD factory")

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Apparently no more CPU intensive than the previous version.

OVERALL OPINION

Fort spctaculaires little change since version 2.5, no new instruments, new plugins just compression / EQ / mastering combinator and a rack that allows the stacking of sounds.

7 / 10 because the app is very well Designed and pdagogique but no more because no change rvolutionnaire.

It is true all the same with this version 3 we can finally have Bassdrum correct and this time the compressor pump (they have all the same crap leaves the compressor pti of 2.5 for playback of songs from Version 2.5)

Also note a patch browser / user-friendly songs

Trouble free installation if it is a hassle to find the version 3 files c ome the 2.5
the configuration is fairly simple: a lot recognition midi controllers
damage is the manual again and again since the varsion an English!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have: a laptop P4 1GB RAM clocked at 2.66 GHz
and there ca serious bug!
Reason 2.5 fully breathing with 512 GB of RAM while nibbling version 3 of the CPU as there are and yet I went to a go!
I found some more bugs in the programs ... I almost regret the old version!
damage: propellerhead me used to a very stable product ....

OVERALL OPINION

I'm using Reason since its creation and version 3 for 1 week
I like: mastering, presentation, neat, menu loading
I regret: load times, nothing revolutionary in the change, and when the audio and automation of TEMPO ???????? long-awaited and that will make me a dual switch to another software like Cubase sx

I still advise strongly that software, but users are about 5 years, let me call etyre!

Okay, for now I found no problems since I installed v3.0 in Reason 4 diffrent configurations including a silent one 7 years old PC with a Pentium 3 board. Only problem with the low-end PC, the impossibility of opening two files simultaneously and read one of them.
The manual is quite sufficient but necessary because without it many information programming patches are remnants inconnues.Et, contrary to what serotonik prcedement said, you can easely get a complete manual for versions 2.5 and 3.0 in French.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The configuration of my PC is 3.0Ghz, Pentium 4, 512MB Ram, 2x80Go hard drive, and an ordinary sound card SoundMAX Digital Audio Intergrated and so far I had no problem with Reason if this is a load of files that slow a bit when loading a component using multiple samplers.

OVERALL OPINION

Personally I am new to the world of the composition because I just had to dance ejay 6 A Reason v3.0 in June making a diffrence in sacred sound choices but also a Difference complications and difficulties faced in Reason as a Reason, Dance eJay simplicity is the same.
The ratio quality price is quite reasonable because once we understand the operation of Reason v3.0 we never tire of it ...
Without hesistant j'achterais the new version of Reason once it is out

Installation amliore relative to the 2.5

it brings things interesting trs

The installation is no problem that we inserted the CD when they are demandbr /> no problem to configure the software
the manual is in my opinion some of the functions lg routing very important in Reason

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I'm working on an iMac G5 with 1.6 GHTZ 1 giga of ram is c nikel n is I never had any problems of any kind

However, the addition of the serial combinator m class and draws in more resources than version 2.5
for example on the same config I have never could get the message "computer too slow" so that tens of putting a good combi c is radical

This minor shortcoming does not bother me any kind of normal because I find that resources are a blow for better sound

Finally, I have never seen a software as stable then 10

OVERALL OPINION

I used the past two years

Reason for me is a very good software but it lacks one crucial thing the big sound

Of course, the improvements of version 3 of aportent What eg m class series that can magnify the sound

But it is best in my opinion at the combinator that big synth sounds can be concocted

Having said that c is a software that allowed me to understand Mao and his style interface hardware renders great service when it is finally faced with machines

Installation - No problem during this process. However, I regret that an update (I had to make the passage in V3.0.4) requires a complete uninstall, and that we must safeguard his tracks before uninstalling the old version (they are purely cancel service with any the rest). Second regret only the main program is updated and a copy of both CD sound is yet again requested. And we must re-enter the license key, even if it has already saved (I know, other programs do the same, but others store the info and do not want more). In summary, no installation problems, but heavy enough for the updates.
Incompatibility - None encountered yet.
General configuration - A little confusing for some things, but like a lot of software it can be done fairly quickly.
Manuel - He is sufficient to start.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Computer Configuration - Motherboard Asus P5AD2 / P4 3.6 GHz / 4GB Ram / 4 x 200GB / RME Fireface800.
Correct operation of this configuration? - Yes
Performance - RAS, it works very well
Hardware + Software - Stable

OVERALL OPINION

Overall - I admit that overall it is a good product, although ultimately I do not sound so extraordinary as this (there are still very good, and I probably a little too used to my other sound libraries).
Repeat this choice? - I would say that if I started in computer music, yes, definitely, I would find this program great and would recommend. But as a user of Cubase since its beginnings on the Atari, I'm a little puzzled. I think I should try it before buying it.
Unacceptable - I can not understand is that such software lets close with a piece worked, not backed up, without offering to save him! I lower my bill primarily for this reason.
Conclusion - I am impressed with the possibilities and the overall quality of this software, the developers have done a remarkable job. But this product may not bring me as much as I expected (I expected more of him to use as a sound bank and ignore the part sequencer is a bit missed).

Trs installation ease. Updated complicated.
Trsrduite incompatibility.
Perfect setup.
Many manuals and possibly unnecessary, but the humiliation of any musician is that one must read them and we learn.

OVERALL OPINION

How to tell if n is again the pub Propellerheads software:
infinite machine, configured as hardware (ie in rel), Conectas
as Ralite ...
with a powerful pc and this software, a sound card eficace and good sound banks, the machines are a throw, reason exceeds the audio quality and quantity of sound bank is evident! if n is that we will never
touch machinelourde rel.
But if that mean? 400 euros for a price you electribe new drum machine as much as you want, samplers etc ...

The report price is good quality ... but there are no NEED TO COMPARE TO CUBASE!!
I think that is not a hardware simulator such as Reason!

Or is the problem? nowhere, but Reason is special: c a hybrid hardware and software,

live after the problem with respect to machines c is the background noise pc, but the c in the field of monitoring metaphysical ... not to neglect all the same.

Let's face it, a hole q Propellerhead the world of Mao and shouted loudly "this is a program as simple as a machine as versatile and powerful than a computer!"

Finally it depends on the musical work that we want: to play in a band is the panacea to save ca has nothing to do, to compose c very well, but not necessarily the number one in terms Browsing for the live it can be a challenge bigger that Ableton Live, but most rewarding ... trsncessaire but not enough! No concession for small budgets, we must.

- Installation is it without problem?
YES
- The configuration gnrale is easy?
limpid
- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
Not to play with the empty rewire to synchronize it with Cubase or Logic, this is the only major weakness is that I think this software is not designed to be used as a plugin but as time software unique.

For my part I use it to simulate orchestral instruments and this is stunning. For synths modules are perfect. The big news of Reason 3 from the two is the creation of a full rack of mastering (the combinator), it gives the composition of the punch parraissait couraging to give effect "lack of bass "in previous versions.

Plus: The synths are very pleasurable, as is exit to play the violin on the piano with small effects archer.
Cons: The guitars are super virtual void but good quote me a program that virtualizes corect a guitar?? Systm pnible rewire the use and trs heavy compared to Systmes plugin implementations of its competitors (such as Native Instrument or under windaube Fruityloops).

What is the particular feature you like most?

the least?
Without advocating for intgration of VST / VSTi (which would be a mistake), I think it lacks a bridge, whatever its form. J'aiemrais as to use Reaktor with Reason, without having to implement (and pay) a style squenceur Cubase ...

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No.

How do you report qualitprix?

OVERALL OPINION

+ Particularity today: REWIRE !!!!!!!

the least? ReWire has responded to all these problems ... If one thing: the non assignabilit of internal NNXT knobs that give the sounds of Aphex Twin and para one ...

Installation is no problem, simply follow the instructions.

This configuration does not seem enough to read some DMOS, but in terms of my compositions, there is no pb!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 6 months in most cases of FL Studio ReWire mode.
Plus: a large variety of samples, a bote pace Redrum really nice, good effects.
The least: the notes in the edition squenceurs is tedious trs (finding an air mouse, has not the top) if we do not have a keyboard possde matre afternoon, one can not import vst and trs is shame ...

A bit pricey when compared FL ...

Reason is all the same great software but possde limitations (I know that I speak trs software that Liam Howlett has used for couraging his latest album).

Reason 3 beginners bought in January 2007, used to rewire with cubase 4. So now I use Manir still pretty basic.

1. the installation:
made with the assistance of my usual dealer in my prsence. No apparent difficulty or manipulation particulire ...

2. incompatibility:
up any Submitted

3. Manual:
for now I do not need but I can imagine one that beginners computer music (music by computer assists) with this program can be quickly Exceeds trs.
on the other hand, in the case of those (like me) who use computer music prg for a long time, people come here quite easily. Personally, I use cubase for over 20 years.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

PC Pentium 4 / 3.0 - 1 MB of ram / sound card Wami Rack / 3 hard drives (1 for prg, one for sound banks, for a direct to disq, Windows XP)

No problem running

CPU performance: Reason is apparently trs economic for the processor, despite the number and complexity of solid sounds that there are ways to deal simultanment.

My configuration is fully stable (but is installed by an expert vendor in the studio, music and computer science)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month

sounds:
I love it. Reason has done everything for me complmentaire prg and other plugins. For comparison I use them: the great, groove agent, all Plugsound, HALion, FM7 + for external synths (jv1080, Wavestation, tx81, DX7, CS1x ...)
Whereas the bnk supplmentaires are available on the net is unlimited. In addition, by listening to the sounds of chantilloneurs of reason (nnxt. ..), I truly believe we can CRER what you want when looking around

Sync:
I work in sync with Reason Cubase (in rewire): no problem = Reason is used almost as a plugin
but ... : Apparently there is no way to control the change of paterns and sound from cubase (as one might imagine using a function such as "prg change")
Thus, if only one works with paterns (matrix, redrum ...) you have to work on both the squenceur Reason and Cubase. eg you insrez a break in time "x", you have also the same number of insrer extent reason = waste of time.

Price:
I still like the external synth, I tend to compare prices with those synths ... Reason in this case sold a ridiculous price.
Compared with other programs, it seems Competitive trs: 400 euros for all that is available seems a reasonable price trs (you can find even cheaper but in this case can not b NFIC probably not total free technical support if needed). For those who would use it as squenceur, gnrateur Entire its hand, it's really cheap. There is missing is the audio recording in this case (probably partially compensensable with chantiloneurs).

Overall:
I have long hsit saying it would be too "duplicate". I finally cracked and since then I tell myself that all my external synths become deprecated. In any case, I use systmatiquement. Srs my plugins are always good (I got), but Reason has really become a must IMMEDIATE.
It can be used in a lot of styles (flat, house, "pseudo" classical, jazz ...)
In retrospect, with what I know now, if I buy beginners and had a sound prg in the first place is that I would start by Reason.

really, it's all good I put = 10 (for now)

Instalation with no problem, I went from 2.5 at 3.0.4 without any problems during the update.
No icompatibilités has been met, despite my config strongly deprecated.
Congig easy, can not be simpler ....

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years and I think this app is really a killer, I (try) to electro, techno and its derivatives and that suits me well.
Especially on the net there are refills very nice designed by enthusiasts.
The community around this software is enormous and when you have a concern they are here to help.

I do not really test other log, just the demo of the Live and Fruity (I hope to acquire). But what made me most is the all in one.
What makes this a real log Swiss Army knife and a quality / price ratio enormous.

I would do this choice eyes closed.

- Installation is it without problem?
Rarely seen as simple.
- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
No.
- The configuration gnrale is easy?

It is not very hungry, except when to load the piano "reason refill piano". Another small BMOL, the browser just train when you want to browse directories with lots and lots of sample. (Samples came from the collection's outdoor eh, those not included)
- This software + hardware configuration is stable?
Yes, except for those few slow (very rare though). I had no problem. The software has never plant, taking my taf.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months. Frankly I see dfaults level too. Before j'tais on fruity loops there is clearly no contest.
- How do you report qualitprix? Less than 400 is very reasonable given the tool it is.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
Yep.

- Installation is it without problem?
As far as I can remember simplissime WAS

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
Not that I remember

- The configuration gnrale is easy?
Simple enough even if I had a little gallery install my MIDI keyboard. But it was due to my incompetence in this area.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
The manual is just great. A small book on Mao in money. Everything a beginner needs is inside.

- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
Niquel Yes, even when the rack is loaded there is very little slowdown.

- This software + hardware configuration is stable?
Yes

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
1 years or so

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Plus: All in one, no need to go for gallery Vst a right to left. The Matrix (a blessing). The NNXT which is very powerful. The Malstrom which I used all the time. The effects do everything correct. The rack very beautiful and practical. Wiring the more intuitive than a drop-down menu. The Refills. The Rewire. The sound in general and lots of other stuff that I let you devouvirir.

Cons: One or two more synth would not refuse. The sequencer not necessarily very attractive and sometimes shows its limits (especially when compared to monsters like Cubase). Its major weakness is perhaps the bank drum sound really feeble. But the refills are Luckily.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No I started with, and after a period of blur you get used quickly enough after all.

- How do you report qualitprix?
Correct, although for many 4OO in software ca can paretre much.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes without hesitation. For those who believe it is solely for the Techno or Trance that is a false ide. I use it for the Abstract Hip Hop Electro and it's perfect. The matrix is ​​extra, the redrum is all I ask of a drum machine. In short a really great tool that can be coupled and used more practically as a vst with other software.

I brief the board and everyone is just looking beyond the first impression can sometimes be put off.

Lol, yeah it's hard to click on next.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Sufficient

OVERALL OPINION

Ben I pay now I will try to sell it. A real stew.
The trick there is 1.3 GB, not possible to put in full screen, you need a tank + 12 to import a refill, and more drops without MIDI keyboard.

FYI, the era (NoiseTracker, Protracker, etc. ...), its a great software took a 80K, and anyone going over 20 minutes could get a sound.

The use of an almost obligatory MIDI keyboard (and a sound card 400euros) is also DLIR. If I had the dough I would pay in amount of synths, not the ersatz.

Installation trs simple, just read.
No incompatibility meeting.
Gnrale configuration is quite simple:
A component gnral / audio / midi / advanced MIDI. Everything is clear.
The manual is extremely comprehensive and very clear if we made the effort to delve into it.

Propellerhead's philosophy remains that deprives us of VST in Reason, but it's not really an incompatibility ...

Unlike Previous notice, I will say that there is no need for MIDI keyboard thanks to squenceur Matrix (for the costs quickly and the choice of a sound) and squenceur gnral in which to compose the mouse. Certainly it is less convenient, which did not empcher to use this for a year prs. The keyboard I use now has, moreover, that with two octaves which is not the only good when IDAL but same (question of use). Note that whatever software you want to use a master keyboard is essential to virtually systmatique fawn. Without fatally buy a sound card, when I beginners with my USB keyboard has not happened not too bad, good, now I do not do it again (latency, etc.)..

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software runs fine on my PC trs (Asus P5LD2, Intel DualCore, 4GB DDR2) and my soundcard (ESI Quataire) and just as well on my MacBookPro.
The performance of the software are many:
He possde a great diversity of instrument, effect and thus sounds.
-The possibilities are endless routing is fun.
-The Accessibility assistive technology software that is direct dj minimal knowledge about the use of a synthtiseur or groove box.
-The interface is omniprsente, no hidden windows using the resource in Czech.
-Stable and undemanding in terms of power (I did run on old machines, well, do not ask 50 track but for a small DLIR password).

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ending for 6 years. What I like most is the cot play, you plug the machines ... What I like least is when the same display, not full screen when you're on a laptop screen was squint to read. The sound needs an evolution, it is a bit flat. It's OK with some good effects or mastering but when the big sound in Reason? I have not tried other acqurir before, I used (on board) to learn and perfect c'tait today if I know how a synthtiseur and What is an LFO or modulation is thanks Reason. the report is qualitprix trs good. Exprience I would do with this choice, there will always be a version of Reason on my computer.

Propellerhead Reason 3.0 is a multi purpose electronic music sequencer. It works on its own for composing MIDI and virtual based instruments and also can be rewired into an audio sequencer like Pro Tools or Cubase. I was able to install Reason 3.0 easily on a number of different systems. It is easy to do as I've never had an compatibility issues. I don't have a manual for this software, but it could definitley come in handy as the program is pretty in depth.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I am currently running Reason 3.0 on a Mac Book Pro with a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I used to run it on a Hewlett Packard lap top with a 3.0 Ghz processor and 2 GB of RAM. I have been able to run this smoothly on both systems both as a stand alone and running it through Pro Tools LE via rewire. Reason 3.0 has run smoothly since I installed it.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using Reason 3.0 for about three or four years. I use it for programming drum beats to use as a scratch track. I use it with an M-Audio Keystation 49e to play the virtual instrument in the sequencer. I mostly use the redrum and looper sections of this program, but the synthesizers also sound great. I usually put the drum beat back into Pro Tools and record acoustic instruments over it. Reason is a powerful piece of software with a lot of capabilities. I don't know what other software I would compare this to other than Apple Logic as they are somewhat similar. I like both programs for different reasons and both work great in a number of different situations. I love using Reason 3.0 and hope I am able to upgrade to Reason 4 as I have heard great things about it!

Features are great, there are tons you can do with Reason 3.0, love the combinator. For a software synth/sequencer, its a great program. The only thing I hate is that Reason no longer opens its own window when you open the program, requiring you to leave one project open at all times, or restart Reason.

Price paid

300.00 USD

Pretty easy to use, like many people, I believe directions and instructions are not for me, let me put my hands on it!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Sounds are kind of weak and thin, need to be mixed well in cubase/protools/nuendo etc. for a good sound. There is, however, with 3.0 a good selection of sounds.

Ha, well no crashes ever, so I guess its durable.

OVERALL OPINION

Love it.
