Reason With Hardware Vs. Pro Tools Le(mbox), help Options

[iceman4]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if someone here could give some advice as to which descision I should make. My dilema is whether or not to purchase Reason(Educational Version) with Tascam US-122 or save my cash a little more and get Pro Tools LE(MBox). Obviously Pro Tools comes with a limited version of Reason as well as programs but I'm wondering about what is limited in these add-ons, especially Reason. I'm looking to plug my mic, bass, guitar and headphones without alternating cables like with my iMic at the moment . Thats the hardware front, and for the software, obviously sampling, drum machine, and synth, at least. So I figure Reason offers all of this along with the Tascam, but in the long run I was wondering if it was smarter to go with ProTools especially with all its plug-in programs and its professional quality. Also I've heard various problems with drivers with the MBox, also does anyone know if SampleTank 2 will be released with ProTools as a limited version?



Thanks a lot

Kyle

There's been a lot of talk on there that may help you! I just went out and bought the MBox and have to say that the software bundle is quite generous (you have to get the factory bundle option). Can't say that I've done much with the thing yet, as I have to learn Pro Tools, but Reason has been great. Sample Tank comes with the MBox factory bundle with the option of upgrading to Sampletank 2 for $350.

Definitely check out the posts in the area listed above.
