Many "Reasons"

FINALLY IT HAS FUCKING ARRIVED.

Version 4.0 of the critically acclaimed Propellerheads "Reason" software.

Ordered this software about 45 minutes ago through online credit card payment and hopefully this will arrive at the office later this week. Only bad thing to come out of this is that I will be so excited when I receive it during the day, I will pretty much not be able to function properly at work.

OK SO LETS TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT NEW FEATURES THEY HAVE:



We all know that Propellerheads has refused to support audio recording technology nor is it going to support VST/AU software plugins and instruments anytime soon. However, in the grand scheme of things, you can pretty much tell that they have NO other choice in the future but to do so.

Many people have thought that the only thing lacking about Reason is the sequencer and lack of VST support, but i believe this will all change. With the introduction of 4.0, the sequencer is MORE than enough to keep anyone happy. Having said that, in the long-term, I really see no other option but for Propellerheads to introduce VST compatibility. The program is already too good and there is almost nothing else to improve on. If it wants to continue to be a dominant force in the DAW market, it will have to support VST. Once it does this, the sky is the limit for Propellerheads as I know of at least 25 other producers from back home that will abandon their current setup and migrate to Reason - including myself.

We can only wait that to see if my assumption is correct, but even if it doesn't come true anytime soon, I highly suggest anyone serious about making beats to at least incorporate Reason into your bigger setup (maybe "rewiring" it to your DAW host so that you can treat it like a seperate VST instrument).
