I have a 1.8 gHz iMac G5 with a PowerPC chip and 1 GB of RAM. I presently have Reason 3.0.4 on it. I bought the upgrade to Reason 4 a couple of weeks ago but have yet to install it.
But now Propellerheads have put up an announcement that "the performance of Reason 4 on PowerPC Macs is currently not where we'd like it to be." Anyone on these boards installed Reason 4 on a PowerPC Mac and, if so, what has been your experience? I'd love to have the new features but not at a serious cost to performance. I primarily use Reason as a ReWire slave with Pro Tools LE and occasionally Logic Pro. Thanks for any feedback. |

New Upgrades can cause problems for working systems. Before you buy anything, see what (soundonsound.com) has to say about it... "Public Enemy" said it best.... Don't Believe The Hype. |

ah ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (( snarkily laugh )) . . .
 We have the same machine. Keep 3.04. My update with propellerhead was a N I G H T M A R E (( albeit for differant reasons -- I had gotten a copy of Reason 3 from the propellerhead rep when I worked at a___e and went to update it only to find out that the NFR was NOT UPDATEABLE !! )) to the point I actually returned the update -- to guitar center-- and bought Kore Komplete instead -- which has now just changed over to Kore 2 -- and I am much more bueno impressed -- to say the least. I hate to do plugs -- but . . . damn, NI Kore2 Komplete is really, really amazing !! I worked for "A _ _ _ _ Computer" (( Hmm, rhymes with "snapple" )) -- Update your RAM first, wait for the update -- not the apple update, but the Reason Update, steer clear of Leopard until you swicth to a macintel --and you should be fine. PS, you may not want to bother with the iLife update either until you get a faster machine -- the best programs on it you can't run with your current set up. (( iMovie or iDVD )). Best of Luck !! |

fishboisfo,
You are right about Kore Komplete. It is "Wickedly" great! If I didn't already have all the "Stuff" currently being "Not Used" I would certainly purchase: Kore Komplete. In fact NI (Native Instruments) are one of the best "Software Companies" on the Planet... |
