«  One of the best soft music creation »

No problems with installation. The configuration software is very fast is automated for most sound cards and midi controllers. I met a configuration problem with my Akai MPD16 that day I had to go for a MPD18. The manual is clear but the grip is so intuitive that I have hardly opened.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have a Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 board on which is mounted an AMD Phenom II X4 955 processor and 8 GB of DDR2 RAM. A 64GB SSD drive for Windows 7 and softwares system and disk 1TB for current files.
For sound, I use a card ESI MAYA 44 USB ASIO which seems essential for this type of software.
Reason is one of the few programs that has never caused a crash and it makes a lot of years that I use.

OVERALL OPINION

I use Reason for several years (since 4.0). I have used and I still use other programs in parallel but Reason is still a must for music creation, a powerful and complete studio for creation and creativity. Warning it is still not very accessible for people not having a minimum of musical knowledge.

Excellent quality / price ratio that makes people receiving pay for what you want!
