I also want to say that I use reason with a Novation ReMOTE SL, and I don’t even need to listen to anyone elses music, because I can keep myself entertained just making my own, and I’ll never need another tool to do so. In my opinion that’s what Reason is all about.

I have also found DAW’s like ableton, and cubase to be rather choppy with synths and what not. They tend to use alot of resources. Mainly because your running like 10-20 different programs made from different companies that all have different requirements. When alternatively you could use 2 maybe 3 in my case.

Reason 4. For the music, Ableton for recording if necessary (rewire) and Waves for mastering (honestly waves is the best IMO).

The quality of the stuff I have been doing, well lets just say that there is a new show coming out were the music I made for it is going to be blasted all over the world. (BIZ KID$) check it out.

But that stuff doesn’t matter. I know a kid who is still using Impulse Tracker (talk about complicated) and he makes some really killer sounding stuff.

The main thing is find what you like, DON’T hate others for using something you can’t figure out or think is stupid, and just produce!

I think Reason 4 is awesome, however their was a polysonic synthizer out way before reason4, however thor is much better than the vst ever was. I believe it was released by NI I can’t remember what it’s called but it’s pretty cool.

Reason will always, be my weapon of choice when it comes to music, the others just fill in for things that they can add to it. Reason rocks, plain simple truth, deal with it.

Peace.

Your foul language, poor grammar, and hostile attitude undermine anything you have to say. I don’t agree with Boris, but I can’t agree with you.

Oh please, what a load of crap. That’s like saying people who are into IT don’t compare Windows vs UNIX, or real photographers wouldn’t care about the differences between Adobe Photoshop and Corel Paint Shop. Or, for that matter, that professional builders will use any old drills, hammers and saws. Bullshit! If you really care about what you are creating then you will take an interest in the tools available for your craft.

Why don’t you write to the editors of all the music magazines and tell them to “get a fucking life” and stop comparing different music programs?

I notice you’re yet another person claiming “Reason is a composition tool, Logic isn’t” while completely failing to give any real examples to back that up. :-/

Lots of people have linked to their tunes, try clicking on them dumass

I don’t give a fuck about what other people think about this software and this other.

You need to use what you’ve got. I like Reason because it’s a powerful composition tool and you can rack up many instruments and create a good mix. Of course, it is not a complete program - it’s a synth, a drum machine, and a sampler - and you have other options to complement this.

That’s why you have Logic, Cubase, ProTools - these are meant to be Workstations on which you record audio, load your tracks and do final production. They can be composition tools, but then why do so many people ReWire Reason into them? ALL of the people who use Reason (Beastie Boys, Prodigy, etc.) create their tracks in Reason and load them into ProTools for final production.

If you complain that Reason is a bad program because it is not a “complete” program, or if you complain because the factory sounds that come with it sound like a freaking casio keyboard, then all I can say is that you are too LAZY to find out what a tool’s potential is. You probably want to unpack the thing and have it make the music for you. The truth of the matter is that no software will make you sound like a pro, and if you rely on the sounds that came with the software, you will sound like the software. Why do so many professional producers and musicians use Reason? They have tons of money and they can buy ANYTHING…

Come on people, are you fucking serious with this stupid conversation? Let’s listen to some of your tracks and see if they’re any good. Real musicians wouldn’t even be whining about reason vs. logic vs. cubase… this whole deal sounds like “my dick is bigger than yours”.

Get a fucking life!

To be honest ALL DAWs and music creation softwares have their pros and cons so this argument will go on until the end of time because it comes down to personal preference. If I had a MAC I’d be using Logic. I really like that program. Some are better for getting ideas, and some are better for getting down to serious business so two programs are usually needed to compliment each other. Just use what you prefer, make music and be happy.
