Is it good for beginners who don't know how to work something like an audio board or something like that? ------------- Former Username -The Prog Man "The Carpet Crawlers heed their callers: You've got to get in to get out" |

Well I found it easy to use, but I already had some experience with Fruity Loops  Otherwise if you have the patience, you can try downloading the Reason Tutorials through Torrent. They're all video tutorials that explain some of the basics and their applications within the program. Enjoy  |

Reason's great but be aware it's really aimed at dance music producers. You can't record audio into it (guitars etc). It's aimed at loop-based music, midi and samples. You can run it inside a sequencer like Cubase via a piece of trickery called rewire that comes with Reason. It does have a really great sounding reverb unit though. My advice would be to get a decent sequencer first and then decide if you actually need a toy like Reason. if you're on a budget go for the simple but extremely elegant and extremely cheap Tracktion - v2.0 is out now through Mackie and is pretty cool and very intuitive for those of us who are mixing console-phobic. It's based on a 'drag and drop' idea. If you want to add an instrument just drag the icon to the track and off you go, couldn't be simpler.

I always liked Reason for the Redrum though...I haven't heard a
better sounding drum machine yet, probably because they use actual
sampled sounds from a drum. But it will never beat a real drummer

The Subtractor analogue synth does a good impression of bass pedals as well. I use Reason connected to Protools via Re-wire and it works fine. |

Reason is very bad in my opinion, I have it though, together with
Cubase, FL Studio and Rebirth. The major problem with reason that it
doesn't support any substantial upgrades made to the programme by
outside coders in the vorm of VSTi, plugins etc. Reason only has two
synths, I myself am very fond of using subtractive synthing technique
so it's nice for me it has a subtractive one. It's a shame it's bad. A simple ADSR[Not AHDSR as I like it.] envelope for the amplitude and the filters, only two oscilator channels, very limited amound of waveforms, no stereo exists. The number of FX reason offers are also very limited. I don't like the programme personally since it's not really possible to make genres with it that don't sound typically electronic unless you're going to use samples and I don't like sample, I like to synth everything myself to approach the tonal colour I want to the maximum. I myself make all music electronic, simply because electronics have advanced to a level to make that possible, I make blackmetal, classical, rock, jazz etc all on my Laptop and my midi keyboard yet reason doesn't allow that, and I just don't like house. In the purpose it's made for, Reason is a great programme though, the purpose's just very limited. ------------- Don't invest too much effort in your life, you won't make it out of it alive anyway. |
