 Wonderful and horrible October 15, 2009

Well, Reason 4.0 is amazing, no argument there. The new synth allows for a much greater range of sounds than what was previously available, and the effects and processing are worth the price tag by themselves. That much is true, and has been covered.
Time for the downside.
WHAT, exactly, were the designers thinking when they mutilated the controls and layout? I'd like to know if this was someone's idea of "user friendly" or if that same someone just decided he hated the users entirely. If you started on 3.5 or earlier, here's some warning.
1. Enter doesn't snap the cursor to the beginning of the track. Keypad 0 does that now, which makes doing this more cumbersome.
2. When you switch to Edit Mode the displayed notes will not play until you un-shade the section they're in. It doesn't default to everything un-shaded and you can't turn this feature off.
3. Right clicking on a note in Edit Mode doesn't present the option of opening the Tool window. You have to open it via F8 or through the Edit Menu tab, and it stays open.
4. Transposing notes in the Tool Window can't be done by typing the number of steps you want to move them. Oh no. Now you have to click the up arrow that many times, or click the number field and drag it.
5. Every instrument you create now defaults to one of the presets. There's no "blank" option. What's that, you say? That's nothing to gripe about since you're going to change everything anyway? Well, User I Don't Know, try making a few Redrums. Now go to fill them with sounds. Yeah, it's kinda confusing with everything already filled with something else unless you do it all at once, eh? Oh, and when you go to open another sound, have fun watching every file path default to the location of the Reason Sound Bank, making you click through the file path your stuff is located in for each one.
6. Ok, I can't think of a 6 right now, but I'm not done with 5 either. It warrants another paragraph. See, point 5 -admittedly minor though it is relative to the other agonies I listed- also applies to the sampler. If you're trying to just load in a Wav file or something to pitch shift it around you have to individually delete every OTHER sound already loaded in. Sure, you can save that blanked out session as its own patch, but it's the principle of the thing.
None of these make the program prohibitively cumbersome, but they definitely break the flow when you're In The Zone and trying to get your ideas down without thinking about the controls. They all detract from smooth navigation, and they're all unnecessary. Version 3.5 was quite nearly perfect in that regard: almost identical to Pro Tools in the basics, to the point, and simple. Why on earth were these changed? A few changes here and there are fine, but if they're going to pull this crap couldn't they throw me a bone and provide the option of customizing? Or put a "classic" setting in?
If you're new to Reason, buy this and you'll never know. If you're not, the increased capability will seem almost Faustian.

If you're into making electronic music or are thinking about it, I would get this. Either straight out of the box, or coupled with a MIDI controller keyboard (where you really start jamming music), you're set to make trax. It's easy to use too.

This is very good software. Very professional. A bit confusing 4 newbies but, 1ce you get the hang of using the features & all, it's really quite nice & easy. Has many useful & great features. 1 of the most complete & professional music creation suites available.
Reason is a must for anyone making music on their computer April 14, 2009
Pete Sanders
Despite not recording audio, Reason is one of the most important computer music recording programs ever made. It offers a collection of synths, loop players, effects, a sequencer, drum machine and much more. The combinator is a powerful device that lets you combine devices into a powerful virtual instrument. For the advanced user, Thor is an amazin sound design tool.

I have been wanting to try my hand at electronic music for years but never knew what I had to buy or had a spare thousand that I was willing to invest in it. Then nearly a decade from the time I discovered electronic music I met Reason 4. In one day I learned how to use the program and produce my first song. I had my friends listen to it and after the end of the song they would ask me what band it was. You can imagine their surprise when I said that I made it and that it was my first song.
Maybe you aren't even all that serious about music production but just want to chill out and play around a little. Reason 4 will take your whim of playing around for half an hour and turn it into something more serious.
If you like electronic music, get Reason 4.
