Ultra stable software. More stable it does not exist. The manual is great.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I have a very good PC and it runs very well! That said not need a beast of war to run Reason.
OVERALL OPINION
So ... Reason is a killer and I just post my opinion ... because I Quit Reason!
This software may seem obscure to a real beginner ... but through the first effort is a treat! Everything is very intuitive, it does not crash and never used with Cubase rewire I find it much nicer than plugins. And then in terms of everything it offers is not a Reason expensive software.
Reason is an incredible tool for composing, basically we do not take (too) head with the technique. Provided use Reason in its entirety requires years of experience. Personally I am not come to end after two years of intensive practice ... mostly more than 15 hours per week.
Note that the French community around reason is extremely active and that the site reasonfrance a wealth of information and usability.
Reason why I quit then? And well trying the software Arturia (Minimoog, CS-80 ...) I realized the noise limits of Reason. In my opinion if Reason does not plant it because it requires little CPU. Why is there little CPU intensive? Well I think that's partly because it made concessions on sound quality. Something is missing ... bass, depth, dynamics, wealth.
Another reason to stop: the new products announced for Reason Propellerhead 5 show definitively that did nothing to shake my music! I tend to trip hop rock. Excluding the latest target of the fans definitely pure electro and hip-hop producers.
This is one of the big weaknesses of Reason: the batteries are far behind realistic software like Addictive Drums (if what a pleasure to add two clicks a distortion and reverb on the snare drum and a delay to the kick ... thats Reason!).
Briefly, after 10 years without Reason musical practice has changed my life and allowed me to compose songs that I'd always thought incapable of producing.
Provided with experience it becomes difficult ... today I am ready to take over the head with software less stable, less ergonomic and more complicated ... but with incomparable sound quality.
