Hi there,
Just wondering if one if better than the other, (Reason or Logic). I'm hoping to make deep, soulful house, but don't know which one of these to use. I also don't know whether i need to buy a Mac or PC, or whether either will do. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks Ronnie -------------------- Veronica

Logic, if you get Reason by itself you will still need a DAW, because Reason doesn't record audio. Reason is basically a synth module, with effects and a midi sequencer.

You'll need a Mac if you want to run the latest version of Logic

Yep, Mac + Logic Pro, because then you don't necessarily need Reason at all - Logic comes with all kinds of synths, drum machines, samplers and effects. Reason 3 is very cool, but like gdoubleyou says, it can't record live audio at all. Which means no vocals, no guitars, no recorder solos, etc, etc.

If you want to go a little cheaper, you may want to try Ableton live - it's about half the price of logic & also has some virtual instruments & can work inside of Logic should you want to move on to a more "professional" DAW. I would like to note though that between my purchases of Ableton, Reason, Reaktor, Pluggo & a Ozone/Trash/Spectron bundle, I could probably have just gone ahead & bought Logic for the same price - I just did this over the course of the last 3 years instead of dropping a grand in one shot on the Logic Pro Bundle which is what you should be aiming for if you are going to get into Logic it at all (I understand that Express doesn't really offer the plugs/synths that the pro version does).

Exactly - Logic Pro is the whole enchilada. Get that and you could quite conceivably never buy another plug-in again. Although many people - myself included - still do.
You can run Live "within" Logic, but it's a big CPU hit. I do like using Live on its own, mind you. Very nice. And it has synth, drum machine and some cool FX plug-ins. |

I'm not much experienced with Logic. Reason is quite good soft, but it has huge disadvantage in my opinion: lack of VST plugins port.
As people mentioned here, You will not record anything to Reason (though You can import wav files). Frankly saying, Reason has closed architecture. |

All things said about Reason's closed architecture, there is one good point to it. Reason is ROCK SOLID. I've never crashed it - not once- I can't say the same thing about my current mainstay of Ableton/Reaktor. I mostly use Reason to chop up drum loops & the odd sampler riff as a REWIRE slave to Ableton but looking back on it, life was much simpler when I was using Reason as my main tool. For what it's worth Logic, by all accounts, can be a real bear to get around in & it is not exactly known to be crash free.

Frankly i love reason. I can have 3- 4 reason projects open at once and it doesn't crash on my g4 1.2 ghz ibook. I love its simplicity too.
With that said my vote is both. Logic is an amazing DAW, but reason just so damn reliable. The no VST thing is anoying though. -------------------- |
