I am interested in creating music and would love to start creating more again. However, I don't have much software. I am mostly interested in electronic music, and don't really see the possibility of the need to use real instruments. Therefore, can anyone recommend a decent starting point. I have heard of a software program called Reason. Would this be seen as the best piece of software for an electronically focused musician ?
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. |

let's see. I am planning on buying a Logic platinum soon, but my current setup is exactly Live and Reason. I use Live with Oxygen8 and Reason with a full-length keyboard as well as Tascam US-428. I love this setting. Those softwares make music making such a painless process.
As for ReWire, no you don't need a separate application. It introduces a system level API for audio softwares to talk to each other. Live is a ReWire host/client application, meaning it can act as a host application to accept ReWire clients (in OS X's case, Reason seems to be the only real Application that can connect to Live) or it can connect to a ReWire host. Anyway, once ReWire host and client are connected (OS level registry of some sort is apparently responsible for the transaction) these applications share not only the audio, but also the transport controls as well (meaning you pressing "Play" button in either appliication causes both applications to play). I don't know the technical details but I've seen some amazing magic happening on my desktop... |
