Reason overview
Reason is an integrated software music recording and production studio with audio recording, million-dollar mixing and EQs, and all the instruments, sounds, and effects you could ever dream of for writing, recording, remixing, and producing great-sounding tracks.
Also new are several effect devices that can be inserted directly into instruments or onto tracks. 'Pulveriser' allows users to compress, distort, filter, and modulate their sounds, while "The Echo" creates, as its name suggests, a stereo echo with adjustable delay, feedback, color, and modulation. "Alligator" is a rhythmic texturing tool that makes it possible to add rhythm and accents to synth sounds and change percussion loops. Users can also get pitch-perfect vocals using the new "Neptune" pitch adjuster.

Five years after Apple Silicon, aka M-Series, aka ARM Macs arrive, it's still INTEL only. For $499. Come on! 😕 - - Dealing with that laziness, the alternative to full purchase price is $20 a month subscription, first month at $1.

This DAW / music app is amazing! What an incredible music making playground to work with. I have found Reason much easier to learn and grow with than other DAWs. And, using Reason's rack system feels more natural (life-like) than using VST plugins. While working with / playing with Reason the hours pass so quickly cuz it's so much fun and the sounds created... just love it! To anyone wanting to try it, there's a low cost entry level on their website (plus FREE demo's too). I didn't last long on the Intro before upgrading to Suite, so I could have all the instruments and effects to work with. Careful folks, because this is a really addictive music app! :)

This Software has still the same problem right from v1: The Sound output is dreadful. Its thin. Whatever fx's, tricks and add-ons are been used for finishing master tune, ones your bounce down the track in Reason, the result is always notable - Thin. One way to push that to an better sound is the ReWire option with an DAW, like Logic, Live or even GarageBand. It is CPU and RAM demanding. Reason is an "cheap" gadget for "so to be musician" , so the illusion is build in. A great tool to learn, BUT stay away for any serious production with it. Pointless overpriced software.
