Amazing music software!, June 25, 2011
This review is from: Propellerhead Reason 4.0 Upgrade (Electronics)
I just bought this upgrade a little while ago and have been extremely pleased. Propellerhead's Reason software is nothing short of incredible. With every upgrade, it just gets better and better. The updates to the sequencer make it more efficient to create tracks, and Thor is a monster of a synth module. I'm looking forward to learning more about how it works. I'm looking forward to when I can upgrade up to Reason 5. But for now, I'm content with Reason 4 and the virtually limitless possibilites it allows.

If workflow is important..., December 26, 2010
This review is from: Propellerhead Reason 4.0 Upgrade (Electronics)
...you will find this DAW to be the best environment to create your musical reality.
If you come from the "Old School" of hardware production equipment, you'll quickly feel right at home with this software. Simple installation, non-obtrusive serial number based "protection", and you're off.
The environment is very well suited to multiple styles of production covering multiple musical genres. The included sound libraries will more than cover the typical pop, rock, and R&B based tracks. Electronica could not be simpler.
Any complaints I've ever noted regarding this package are based on lazy, inexperienced "producers" looking for a "One click hit machine". The sound quality is superb, and the included sound manipulation/mastering tools are excellent for this level of investment. Once you've developed your workflow, the creativity will explode.
As a user of multiple DAWs, I find no loss whatsoever over the lack of VST/VSTi support. There are no sounds or sound design tasks I've been unable to produce with this software. Adding the "
Record" (also from Propellerhead) product to this item "seals the deal". Numerous third party sound "Refills" are available for those not comfortable with sound design, but for song writing and production, it's all in the box.
