Reason 3 on OSX

renevanderwouden

I am trying out the Reason 3 software program. Does anyone else use this program on the Mac?

What do you think?

I guess it is quite good, but do you really need it? Your current "rig" seems to be rather great as it is. Very Happy

No, I don't really need it, but I heard composers doing interesting work on it.

I find the efx very good. I wonder if there's a way to host them from Logic Express.

Logic Pro and Reason 3 linked thru Rewire are an unbelievably powerful couple. hard to beat. the first time I saw them running together my jaw dropped down on the floor. I am still recovering Cool

Reason 3.0 is my favorite for OSX. I don't like to use it for sequencing. Logic has a better interface for that. The soft synths and samplers are awesome and the effects are the best! Does anyone know if you can us rewire in protools to send an audio signal to an effect in reason and then back to protools or am I just stuck applying the effects to reasons synths?

Have a good one

I personally think Reason's sound engine sounds like ass. Although it's bad-ass at what it does. Maybe to fix it would be to run it out of a bus through a out-board pre amp, and eq. Anyone done that?

i use reason to make alot of my stuff. for sequencing actual audio files i dont find it that good, the instruments and stuff that all come installed on it are great and its highly customizable. what i find my self doing quite a bit lately is running reason in rewire mode into ableton live and then doing whatever else i need in live, its a powerful combo.

I tend to do my drum programming in reason (or the Waldorf Attack in Logic) but that's about all I use Reason for. I dont really like the sound of Reason itself, and I dont use the synths because I'd much rather use my nord lead 2. Plus I hear reason everywhere (and sadly usually presets and loops that i recognize), all the time, on TV, in commercials, and I can pick it out, so I don't want the same thing to happen to listeners that listen to my music...

that said, i started with reason and learned a lot from it....i only use certain elements of it though, and never do a whole track in reason. Logic's for that! Smile

it runs great on my iBook though
