greetings,
I'm looking for a comprehensive set of soft synths and drum machines running on os x that will likely be compatible with what ever platform I eventualy decide to invest in (logic 5.3, cubase sx, digital performer) I have limited experience working with midi and am wondering if Reason 2.0 with a midiman usb keyboard would be a good way to go. Thanks all, W |

Reason is a great program... don't get me wrong... but it does how it's drawbacks. First, as much as I liked using Reason 1... I wasn't happy with the overall sound of my tracks that were completely composed in it. There is something to be said for variety in sound sourcing... meaning that I am beginning to think that using sound sources from more than one app, one synth etc... sometimes improves the unique and appealing sound of a track in my opinion. I can listen to many different electronic music songs and easily spot one that was made in Reason usually. I did actually decide to publish one of my tracks that was totally composed in Reason 1 but it was polished with a few ProTools plugs and T-Racks mastering app. If anyone is interested in hearing... click here. This was my best effort of breaking free from the over used Reason presets and sound.
Second, the only way to add vocals or sounds from other samplers, synths, guitars etc... is to convert them into audio files and import them into a sampler. You cannot record outside sound sources directly in Reason. This is why its not a true multitracker and instead only a midi sequencer for most part. So yes Reason is great for what it does especially considering the price but I wouldn't recommend it as the center of a studio... it works better as a addition to a studio that already has a multi-track audio recording setup unless... all you plan on doing is making trance or other electronica and don't have lots to spend. If you plan on adding other outside instruments or vocals though... I suggest just purchasing Logic Silver and then add some VST instruments or samplers for more flexibility and options.
