Developer’s Description

By Propellerhead Software

Pack a full-featured studio rack into your desktop PC.

Synthesizers, samplers, drum machine, ReCycle-based loop player, mixer, effects, pattern sequencer and more. As many of each as your computer can handle. Reason is an infinitely expandable music workstation on a CD-ROM, complete with its own realtime sequencer.

As a Reason user, you can forget about the downsides of music production. Forget malfunctioning modules and confusing connections. Reason's cables don't tangle. Forget about steep learning curves and menus within menus. Reason is so direct you'll learn it in minutes. And forget the tedious process of gathering all the different disks and soundbanks needed to load up a song.

With Reason, picking up where you left off be it last night or last month it is as simple as turning the power on. When you save your music, your whole studio setup is stored along with it. You can even include your samples, loops and drum kits in the Reason file, for easy web publishing or email distribution to other Reason users. For once, total recall is truly total.

And so is the sound. The audio quality is everything you would expect from the people behind ReCycle and ReBirth. But pristine sound quality is only half the story; the instruments and effects in Reason are loaded with character and attitude. Reason will not just impress, but inspire you.

wonderful product, great interface, love it
bvonmossSeptember 30, 2010
Pros
complete control, produces excellent quality audio, gives you amazing tools that might cost 100 times as much if you bought similar hardware (if it existed), attractive interface, works with good hardware, nice feeling about the technology.
Cons
People get the wrong idea that u just press a few buttons & a whole song comes out instantly. If 1 doesn't read the manual, many of the functions are a mystery even for technical people. Can't extract/restructure refills.Can't use live input4effects.
Summary
Know the limitations of the product and use it for the limitless wonderful things it can do for you. Analog instruments have their limitations and things they can't do. Reason doesn't make song writing necessarily easier. Writing songs is expression, not a computer. It gives you some remarkable tools. Overall I'm very happy with it and don't feel I need to look at other products. It's an excellent product. Just don't get the idea that it will do everything--it doesn't. It hands the control over to you. You don't need to buy big expensive hardware.

I have the paid version, didn't download this trial version. Worth the money if you know how to use it.
Cons
Hard to understand, and hard to use unless you're a recording pro, or have hours to try to figure it out.
