Members butterknucket Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have the teaser version that came with my ProTools setup and enjoy it, although what I have is quite limited. Does anyone have the full version, and what do you think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Majoria Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have Reason 3.0 but don't use it much. It's great for synth stuff, I just don't use synth a lot. I hear 4.0 is even better. Wait to hear from someone that uses it a lot for better feedback. I mainly use the VI's that came with Pro Tools 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nerol1st Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have reason 4 and I like it. The new arpeggiator is very nifty. Everyone seemed to be raving about Thor when version 4 came out, but I don't see the big deal with it. Anyhow, it's a sweet app if your looking for some decent software instruments. I think the sequencing, even in version 4 is not worth the time of messing with it. I do all my midi sequencing in pro tools and cubase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would recommend for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The synths are pretty good and there are a wide variety of sample libraries available for purchase/share. The teaser version is QUITE limited - the upgrade is well worth it. If you are only interested in programming drum hits and triggering drum loops the ReDrum/DrRex combination is OK but a more fully featured host like Live or FL Studio is probably a better bet.

Members nerol1st Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 For a drums only app I think you should look elsewhere. BFDSuperior drummerSteven slate drumsSmack Etc... All way better than Reason for drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Majoria Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 I agree. The Reason drums are quite disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jdwhitak Posted June 23, 2009 Members Share Posted June 23, 2009 I've used a lot of programs over the years like Pro Tools, Live, Logic. And have to say that Reason is by far my favorite. It's easy to use and costs a lot less than other programs. The stock drum sounds are okay, but the add on refill is quite good. And it's only $100. Besides its all about the music you make. Not the kind of software you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kerouac Posted June 23, 2009 Members Share Posted June 23, 2009 Reason fan here. Tried it at my friend's back when it was 2.0 and have enjoyed the growth ever since. I love the Abbey Road, Reason Piano's and the Reason Drum's expansions... I recorded this using the Reason Piano patch called "Cold Clock's": http://hc.bloodyvelvet.com/files/181/Grey%20Skies%2C%20Brick%20Buildings.mp3 Drumwise it can be easy to work with, but generally I rewire things right into Sonar to program using the staff view, unless I'm building a weird glitch kit or something. All of the synth style sounds I ever use come from Reason, most of the drums, and the pianos... only strings and guitars/bass dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
