All user reviews for the Reason Studios Reason 4

-> The installation is done it without problem?
Worry-free installation.
Before he turned on Windows XP 32-bit and now I have it installed on a Windows Seven 64-bit: it works great! No incompatibilities!

-> The general configuration is easy?
By the end of the installation a dialog box opens and lets you choose the source of sound output (if multiple sound cards) and a midi controller or any other input. In short then no problem to change all that: a single menu settings (audio, midi, general, etc. ..)

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

-> What is the configuration of your computer?
Asus P5LD2 Motherboard / Intel Core2Duo 2Ghz / External Sound Card Presonus Inspire.

-> The software runs he correctly on this configuration?
No problem, it is very stable with this configuration!

OVERALL OPINION

-> How long you use it?
Um, it's been 4 years and almost 5!

-> Did you tried many other models before buying it?
Nothing like ... Either simple or sequencers arrangers but nothing much "gas plant".

-> What is so special that you love the most, least?
The less cool it is unable to directly record voice .. But the solution is the function that allows rewire Reason to run in sync with a sequencer and record directly to it.

-> How do you rate the quality / price?
Excellent!

-> With experience, you do again this choice?
No doubt ...

I had no problem installing it! everything was done quickly!
It is plain

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I recently changed my PC setup and I currently running Windows 7 with 6 GB RAM, sound card M-Audio Fast Track Pro and turn nickel ca! Reason I did not think sas turn my worries.
I really have no problems with this setup as Reason 4 despite now being exceeded.

OVERALL OPINION

I use Reason 3 years and love it. I will switch to the higher side but the finances do not allow it for now! But it is a high-performance tools to begin to understand how it works.
I was working with FL studio before but when I découvers Reason, I have not touched FL.
Subsequently, I added some VST plugins variety of course but the base is very correct to start with this software!
Then you have to work on it ...
The price / quality ratio is still very good, especially when all functions operates in Reason.
And I think that with experience, I would do without this choice problems

Fastosh
compatible with win gold apple
Compatible with full REWIRE software (use more pro, sounds better ...)
Record used with the duplicates of the same manufacturer (best sounds and everything)
No need for manual, better go to the forum including the Franco la muerte (soft Quebecois accent)
I have learned full of stuff with him at first. it made me easier.

Go to the Site Reason France also

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Reason plays it, so a powerful enough PC stuff, no racing machine, or something mediocre.
Just a normal configue, nowadays it's not complicated.
For my part, I'm on an iMac 21 "3.06 ghz i3 4 GB RAM, good listening ... blablabla
Chuis well

Have a master keyboard is achement better! a little trick to start a big to post. USB bim

also provide a sound card for MIDI, and for better audio performance calculations

OVERALL OPINION

I went through the Reason 3, 4, I'm about 5 ... and then soon the 6

I love this software to the playful side.
Aillant practiced a little on the machine, I found an easy visual.
He got nothing to do with any other DAW software.

When we practice the sound live on the hardware, if you like the drawing, not the patch panel, not always clear. Finally, it is my opinion, but this is what makes the personality of Reason

And then all these little cables that move when the animal returns, it's so funny!

However, this software fishing in the sound ... This is unfortunate since this is what he is asked to leave! The audio engine of the beast does not support excessive mixing, the oversized bass, reverbs too wide ...

There are two ways to fix this shortcoming:

- THE REWIRE

Just click here to use another software master to act as mixer for all and all his synthesizer in Reason.
example: CUBASE, LOGIC PRO, Ableton Live, Pro Tools ...

- RECORD (by PropellerHead)

The brand of the will itself solve the problem, and to create this app that controls midi Reason.
But it also functions as a mixer, an audio engine with its own. The final summation is better quality, as with Rewire.

Finally, Reason is a toy for completeness, on which one can spend hours and hours, as was done before the big fan of analog machine, the sampler, sequencer ...

But of course, do not be afraid to lose it in the multitude of opportunities offered by my stuff, because it offers.

Good luck

-Clean install (prvoir when the same place)
Software-beat-maker is for all budgets and all uses and no latency and incompatibilitsurtout rvolution from June 1)
Manuel trs-clear! but long trs (g dropped the case after the 200me page)

the video tutorial tip (pay and free) site and the Reason France) trs well for rapid progress.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have a standardized configuration (6 years my PC and I did not complain at all (apart from that I can not afford some fancy like having 20 web page open and open source software more ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I'm on Reason since version 1, cel is 8 years I use this software and NO dception especially since the 6 because I lch Pro-tools to work exclusively on Reason.

With hard work and investment matris Reason is a single value sr BMOL it is unfortunate that we are the attrendre version 6 for a real turie software because I would not use NEVER any other (ProTools can be) taken to make my voice and my compo.

C OF BOMB BB!

Instal no problem of incompatibility bug no configuration as Reason 3
the manual as heuu Reason 3 (not read)

jai jai installed the software and resumed my song jai battery or the place to stop pa imcopatiblit between the old and the new project (hopefully).

in all this took 5 minutes to the installation and nothing to configure if you have already configured for Reason 3 the job is already done

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

(Pc fixed) Motherboard DFI lan party n. 4; amd 3500 +, 2GB ram, 500 GB hard drive, sound card DELTA 1010;
no problem on both config.

config and stable software

OVERALL OPINION

What jaime: new sequencer (like a sequencer), regrove mixer, the THOR (TIP OUF), tool bar, the new bank, and the rest of Reason. (I have used the arpeggiator pa).

compared with the sequencer 3 mailings of the big, the bar tool (F8) is handy (new option which complements the sequencer)

What I like least: ... may still be processing the audio is limited, but Reason c c normal.

the price c ben jaime Reason I take and I will resume. On this and the next a good sound

Installation: no problem in xp! The app asks if you want to let it uninstall Reason 3, the fact, start the installation of the V4, 5 minutes and you run APRS in the Discoveries of the soft . It's simple, efficace.Pas procdure comlex of recording such security cl (very annoying to use and easily crackable anyway ... see torrents emule and others) just the serial of your box and go! gnrale The configuration is very simple, as every time!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

On Pentium D 2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM
ca nickel.Le turns soft does not seem to consume more CPU than the version 3.The least my old projects open perfectly and do not seem greedy ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's a bomb!
The most: the REGROOVABLE! Is a killer! I DLIR 5 minutes on a binary instrument and that is transformed into pieces with a jazzy swing of hell I just deadly! !
The RPG8 is the best they love arpggiateur test.Simple of t given and effective, it does what you request.
THOR is simply amazing! Its grain tilt and filters soignles trs trs typs "analog". Malable hope it is, and just as well! Props no longer a blushing face tnors synthse to the soft ... suddenly the substractor obsollte is, but hey, it dpanne toujourspour open old songs ...
Finally, the squenceur.enfin! FINALLY a real squenceur plus.on 2000 and finally released from the stone age at this level ...
The least: the sound banks are still moyennes.L 'Orkester is starting to really old, the Factory Sound Bank is still his same gal: okay ... but hey, the samples were factory software for 400th .. the real sounds of qualitil to buy the refills from one small .. BMOL for software truly unique and a great qualit.A trs possder absolutely !!!!!

No problem, with an astonishment there against a cd.
Question configration (Mac) is well indiqubr trs /> Only BMOL, from the quick start manual (very well done) there is a pdf version.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

My configuration: iMac 20 "Intel Cor Duo, no sound card (just one intgre), 2 gb of ram, a master keyboard.
The software works really well, no saturation, the sound is clear and clean, no slowdown, and as always, Reason and not too CPU-intensive.
Configuration super stable!

OVERALL OPINION

Reason two years that I use is a "tool" extraordinary, I can not get enough, version 4 is really enjoyable and cares about the interface.
The new modules are really like THOR Top. This combo offers a truly infinite possibilities of Fast Fashion .... Small snag if I find one on this website (Propellerhead) is EXCLUSIVELY in English.

Acqurir before I tweak a lot of squenceurs (cubase, live) but it's DIFFERENT, reason it's inception, the extra combo is by Reason and Live example?

Report qualitprix, remaining objective that remains "affordable", but hey this type of question is based on each respective fellowships is when a same amount! But I would do without this choice hsiter!

Installation nickel, zero problem, immediate configuration, clear manual (only in PDF for cons, it's a shame). Come on, take off one point for no man.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- On an Athlon XP 3200 + with 1GB of RAM, a presonus firebox with 8ms latency, the software works. Some swings in the graphic interface at the most loaded.

OVERALL OPINION

Reason 3 for one year, 4 since its release.

I love the proximity between the real hardware and virtual hardware, wiring possible (do not stop at the physical side of Reason, we can do much rewiring that can make as many synths as desired oscillator etc ...)

Most:
Le Thor, the groove, scream 4, the lightness of the CPU

the -:
<ul>

propellerhead principle: no midi out, not in audion. regrettable ways to integrate or old synths in stock.

Reason manages a single keyboard (for notes, not controller). Can not record multiple tracks in parallel, very limited work for two. Or use two Reasons on two computers, but it falls on the lack of midi out for the synchro. dooomaaaage!

The onboard effects are really not great (not Scream 4, and the echo mode of RV7000)

the mixer is rotten. 128 position for a fader mixing, it does not work.

is saturated easily in-house, must be given little attention to ultra meter on the side of instrumentals, no concept of clipping internally, it goes anyway, if all my sound is damaged

the EQ of the table, like the M-Class EQ are far too inadequate to do anything to own

not output multi-

</ul>
Conclusion: a great tool to start, then he must pass in order to have a true ReWire mixer built-in effects and real.

install:

no soucy, normal What!
ca runs very well in xp, install 5 minutes and all is well!
RAS

incompatibility:

no, exept RSN files open on the 4, s no longer opens after the 3 ...

config:

no soucy, even better than the 3 (in french this time!!), what more

Manual:

no changes from the 3, but always well detailed and explains

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

computer config:

athlon 64 2800 +, mid-range motherboard, sound card (DMX6fire deluxe Khtz 96, 24-bit), 2GB ram + synth USB
Allg + windows xp ....

Does it function:

yes well, latency 0, its clean and clear, without saturation, or sound defects.
Performance:

niquel, and always niquel niquel!!
very precise, stable, voila!!

hardware + software:

yes yes yes, very stable, like a stone square.

exept with "Thor", are suffering some patch my gear (net stop, forced to stop / play to restart everything .... nothing too serious)
and then c is normal because I'm kind of a grind sounds .... So it happens in extreme cases ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

since:

It must be 2, 3, version 2.5, then 3, then 3.5, and finally 4

particularity:

as:

stability, efficiency, distortions and effects without hurting the pc platform MIDI 4 is very stable, level c sequencer is not bad (not quite as cubase but ca s approach to increasing), the accessibility of the software , price

Cons:

a MIDI stability not as stable and clean that a Cubase ... but from here soon, it will be equivalent (version 5 I think ^ ^), and finally the AC is minimal differences between the two.
and still no audio input on Reason .... Finally, one day can be ...

Other models:

2.5, 3, 3.5 ... and 4!!

Q / P:

Incredible, especially today with a MIDI interface that Cubase has an almost pete 900
So I think that even Reason 5 (still has that rhythm) will be better than cubase.

Exept for the opportunity to record the audio, that is only found on Cubase.
But at least, Reason is content to just the audio composition, and does it very well and suddenly has better effects and distortions, that one who planted cubase has anything goes!!

Redo is choice:

Yes, yes and yes
And I do it again for 5!
grd with pleasure and a lot of impatience!
hoping also an audio input on Reason 5 (a dream ^ ^)
