Reason 2.0 Options

[twelve]

I use Ableton Live with Reason 2.0 and it Rewire's right in to Live and then i can record audio or jam alongside anything in Reason. With an Oxygen 8 this combo is deadly.

sounds like a slick setup.. i tried a Live demo but had a hard time getting around in it and using it but I am used to the way Logic and PT works and they are much different... I have heard some good things about Live though.. one day when I get time... I will have to give it another try

Twelve - I've actually got Reason 2.0 and Live (as well as an Oxygen 8) and you know, I've never actually tried recording that way. How stupid am I? I've been using them separately for specific tasks, but the idea of Rewiring Reason's output and then recording audio in Live alongside it sounds like a good one to me.

I listened to the song Canoe on your website - nice vibe. What software was doing what on that track? Just interested to know.

As to Sandfordmay's original question, I think everyone has covered the topic so far. Reason 2.0 is excellent for rhythms and synth sounds, then you can use the samplers to add other sounds (there's a massive orchestral sample CD included, if you want anything from a trombone to a string section). Synthetic got it right when he said it's a great program, but you will soon find yourself wanting other software to complement it. Personally, I'm waiting for emagic to sort out the Rewire issues in Logic 5.3.0. Then I'll be a happy bunny.

Thanks for listening -Canoe was recorded in Live with Drums from Reason via Rewire. The instruments you hear are electric bass, rhodes piano, and a minimoog (kind of underneath the track with a little white noise setting on the moog).
