Les effets, instruments et sons inclus sont-ils de bonne qualité? Vous suffisent-ils?
Les instruments et effets inclus étaient vraiment bons déjà, forcément peu nombreux au regard de ce que propose Reason studio 11, mais on compensait par la bidouille et on poussait le logiciel dans ses retranchements.
Quelles sont les choses que vous appréciez le plus et le moins? Quels aspects ou fonctions vous ont fait choisir ce logiciel plutôt qu'un autre?
Un modèle d'économie de ressources CPU, à croire que le PC rame seulement quand Reason 3 ne tourne pas.
Petit bémol qui à l'époque ne choquait pas trop, l'impossibilité de traiter de l'audio autre qu'importé (pas de rec ou de forme d'ondes audio éditables donc), et surtout les soundfounts lisibles exclusivement mono, ce qui restreignait la richesse sonore intrinsèque exploitable.Lire moins00

(contenu en anglais)Lot's of features in the package, some hard to work with, some aren't. Beginner, advanced, it doesn't matter. Refills are very fine to work with, really making the production sound better. But at the other side, there is a lack of VST/VSTi support..

In the beginning: No. But that's just a matter of time.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Sounding good. Redrum is really fine to work with, same as the NN-XT sampler within the package. Most of them sound good, some of them cheap, but that is just a matter of tuning them.
Had to get the disc to Feedback again (Dutch music shop), something was wrong with it, but got another, and things are all fine.
OVERALL OPINION
More a hardware fan myself, but this is going to be a standard in my production process. For sure.

I began with FL Studio and picked it up within the first couple hours. Reason takes a little bit longer to get the hang of. But it is still much easier to figure out than progs such as cubase.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The sound quality from the refills that come with reason are simply amazing. wow. You can achieve excellent sound quality with most of the stuff in reason if you know what you're doing... If you want a simple solution to sound quality you can achieve it in other programs more easily using plugins.
No problems or unexpected error, thereve' been a lot of bugs in other software i've used. haven't found any yet here.
OVERALL OPINION
I love the way everything looks in reason, the layout is nice and I really like that fact that you can learn a little about harware while using it. I think that's very innovative.

There are four knobs and buttons that can be assigned the any of the controls of the units contained within. Two freely assignable slots in the Cobinator's Programmer allow one knob to be linked to three controls(eg. cutoff, resonance, output level). There's keymapping as well and more. I'll stop here before I get carried away into all the functions and other units. But I think this highlights the main bits. An option to switch the outputs of the knobs of the Combinator between linear and logarithmic would be nice. Together with the new line mixer(simple, six stereo channels) and audio/cv merger/splitters, setups only theoretically possible in a studio with a 19" hardware rack can be created - "the cpu's the limit". Also new is a growing list of directly suported controllers (including motorised faders) so it saves a lot of time not having to create custom mappings. There still is need for an external audio editor and I recommend the use of ReCycle. I wouldn't want to see audio editing functions within Reason though. Something could be incorporated though to make the inclusion of long audio files (eg. vocal tracks) easier. I would also like to see a realtime clock to make the production for specific purposes (eg videos) easier and also a spectral analyzer for the mastering. At that price (I think it's great value for money) they can't expect everyone who buys it to also be able to afford studio qulity amps, monitors and room. Some keyboard shortcuts for use within the sequencer would be nice. Most "missing" features can added by using the ReWire function to combine Reason with software such as Ableton Live, Cakewalk Sonar, Cubase, Fruity Loops... .

$460USD
Anyone with some experience in sequencing and soft- or hardware- synths should have no problems using Reason. There are good tutorials on the Propellerhead website. The possibilty to route audio and cv can be little confusing if you don't know what the controls on the units do. Yet cool things can be created accidentally
The sequencer although allowing almost all functions to be controlled requires a lot of moving the mouse about and clicking to select different tools and views. I find this can disrupt the workflow unless one has the speed and precison of an experienced CS-player. It would be nice to be able to set points and tangents for the controller curves instead of having to draw them with the mouse.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Excellent sound quality possible. Has become much easier with the introduction of mastering units and Combinator device(see features) in 3.0. Only reason some of the out of the box sounds are thin is because there are no fx on them.
Although the last update to Reason 3.0.4 was actually a whole new installation, it was released so fast that I didn't have the time to encounter any of the bugs mentioned in 3.0 and 3.0.3. I find the soundquality to cpu load very high compared to other solutions. ie a synth within in Reason produces less cpu load than most other softsynths if they are set up to produce the same sound. If wasn't for the issues with the usability of the sequencer, I'd give Reson higher ratings for overall quality.
OVERALL OPINION
Lots!!! I haven't heard any single software soltution capable of producing such a sound at a practical cpu load. I'll give a ten out of ten whe they incorporate the features I mentioned in "Features" and "Usability".

The Detachable Sequencer! by far my favorite feature. Hopefully a line in recording might be in the future. One thing that i dont like about Reason is that it takes control over all midi. Basically unless its rewired into another app (ex Cubase SX) no other programs can be controlled via midi. Reason takes over fully.

Definatly a program that takes time to learn. But the Virtual Rack Equipment interface makes it easy to understand. i love the sequencer and automation. An all around program. I'd honestly be lost without it.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
This software requires a decent sound card. I really can't see the point if using onboard sound. Maybe for the beginner but to utilize the full potential of Reason i wouldnt go with anything less then an M-audio Audiophile 2496. without it, once the tracks get complicated enough clipping might be alot more frequent But back on topic the sounds in Reason are great.
I've never had any serious problems with Reason 3.0, or any of the versions for that matter. The team at Propellerheads are definatly professional and did an excellent job with this software. It's givin birth to a whole new world in computer based music production. Your imagination is the only limit.
OVERALL OPINION
I Can't stress it enough how much i love this software. I would honestly be lost without it. If your a serious musician or just looking for a fun hobby. Reason is it. Just be warned.....Its Addictive! Have fun & Happy Trackin'.

Many inexperienced people find their first experience with Reason to be a little scary. The rack works just like real hardware, and if you've never worked with hardware, it could be a little confusing. But after reading their in-depth PDF manual, I knew exactly how all of it worked. Then it's very easy to navigate.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The new mastering tools in Reason are excellent. With this new edition, you can get thumping lows and sparkling highs.
It's built like a rock. I've never had it crash on me, and it lets you keep adding devices until your CPU can't handle it (which takes a lot of devices). Propellerhead is meticulous when it comes to quality.
OVERALL OPINION
The flexible nature of this program allows you to tweak and invent new sounds quickly and amazingly by routing cables around on a virtual gear rack. How cool is that? I love it!

if your new to the reason environment it looks a little overwhelming at first but the graphical user interface(knobs,sliders,buttons) are all so user friendly is insaine.. click move the mouse.. button moves,after you have set your sound folders and options up you can load sounds fast this program works with you to create great stuff..i love the back of the rack..hit the tab button on your keyboard and thats were the fun begins reroute,re-patch, experiment even this process is not so difficult if you have a basic concept of how sound is routed(i.e. ins and outs)
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Let me start by saying ive been a fan of the reason platform since version 1.0, reason has always had the ability to load .wav files but with versions 2.0/2.5 and now 3.0 you can load sound fonts and this allows an endless supply of new sounds to tweek with, although the factory soundbank has grown across all three versions and has really nice sounds they need a little tweeking to sound full that seems to be the achilles heel of the propellerhead sound bank. but when it all boils down the reason format is a well rounded and has a full sound when used ti its fullest potential..quite a few people have said reason tracks werent quite loud enough but with the adddition of the mastering suite propellerhead has pushed reason into (in this aspiring musicians opinion)a true instrument.
i have purchased all three versions...and never had a problem with crashes or glitches.. the quality of the software is excellent.

Simply put i love it!!!!!!in my little studio room its a staple that holds the weight of my production process

Reason 3.0 is pack with a ton of new sounds.The sound has gotten alot better, though I wish they had better strings. If your looking for a Hip/Hop production tool,look for reasons 3.0.But reasons isn't just made for Hip/Hop.
Great quality and great durability. Its not reasons you have to worry about its really how good of shape is your PC in. Reason 3.0 takes up alot of memory,not too much though. Nothing real noticable. Souldn't effect your internet speed or nothing like that.

They added the masterin suite to it. This is what I have been waiting for. No need to rewire your track to make it bang. As from 2.5 the RV7000 reverb and the scream4 distortion unit are top notch. You can get an execlellent sound with it
laptop. This never crashes as much as other programs, thats why I dont want the VSTs

THis is my 2nd hand. I use this on the ship due to the fact that I can't always have my MPC out. I can load samples and finish the entire track and even add some shine to it with the new MClass.

Although Reason 3.0 has a few bugs to work out,I would say that even getting earlier versions of this program may prove to be quite a feat to work around until you get alot of things down,such as :Wiring,Mastering,Mixing,Programming,Additive and Subtractive synthesis,and sampling.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Ah finally Reason 3.0,this program boasts on the new combinator and MClass Mastering Tools to improve it's sound.Overall,the patches in the subtractor and malstrom are fairly decent.I spend time tweaking factory sounds or creating my own.Scream 4 and the RV7000 give a big help in giving great sound quality.Overall the sound quality of this program has a weakness,the company themselves tell you to process your music outside of the program due to the program being merely a compositional device rather than a full out mixing mastering recording station.
The program is fairly stable,although users will swear this program will never crash on you that's untrue I've had this program crash on me several times,but I believe that's a bug issue at this point.
OVERALL OPINION
I like this program,I wouldn't say I love it quite yet however.Give Propellerhead a few years to make some changes and perhaps this will become even more of a competitor.

Sounds are kind of weak and thin, need to be mixed well in cubase/protools/nuendo etc. for a good sound. There is, however, with 3.0 a good selection of sounds.

I've found many times while using this program, I'll be at work and I think of a great way I could make an incredible sound happen, by routing a synth through some modules in a certain way, or getting a synth envelope to control a drum's pitch in the drum module or something, and Reason makes that all super-easy. The next best thing is Reaktor, which offers much more in the way of modular possibilities, but much less in terms of sequencing. When trying to use Cubase and Live after using Reason, I often get frustrated with not being able to route things the way I want. The feature that Reason really lacks is how it addresses audio files. You can't record audio in or put audio tracks through effects, unless you want to bring the audio through sampling-style, through the loop sampler, drum machine, or one of the keyboard samplers. You can do it, and I've made songs with vocoded lyrics (did I mention the vocoder is amazing?), samples of people talking dropped in, and cut-up guitar. But working with audio in Reason is hard, and it's never going to get easier, because of a strict agreement that propellerheads has with Steinberg: Steinberg releases Reason, and Propellerheads stays away from audio tracks. You can always drag reason in as a rewire slave, but I always find that to be a big pain in the butt. I know a lot of people who use Reason just for generating amazing sounds, and then record them and manipulate them in Cubase or Live. This is what I do a lot of the time as well. Overall Reason has a very interesting and unique feature set, perfect for making almsot any kind of electronic music, but not so great for making music that requires lots of audio tracks.

Reason is a total cinch to use. Once you figure out the basics of how it works, it's easy to learn more and more about it, and the process of learning how to use Reason is basically just learning about how electronic music works. If you've ever used a midi-controlled synth, a midi sequencer, a drum machine and some effects pedals before, Reason will be no problem, and if you start your electronic music adventure with Reason (as I did), you can walk up to pretty much any old piece of hardware and figure it out almost immediately. Sequencing out tracks is simple, using the envelopes (with which you can control anything except for the song tempo, which is unadjustable for some reason), is super-simple, and it all makes a lot of sense. Unlike Cubase.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Not the best synth sounds. The SubTractor subtractive analog-style synth can make sounds that are as interesting, crazy, abrasive, smooth, dreamy, and whatever else as you can imagine, but none of it has the warmth and thickness of Arturia's line of vst softsynths, like the minimoog, moog modular or arp 2600. I think this is mainly because it only supports one oscillator per voice, so there's no unison, and the synth outputs in mono, so there's no stereo separation. The Malstrom has stereo output, but again no unison, and the unison effect box doesn't come close to reproducing the sound of real unison. That said, the NN-XT sampler, on the other hand, has a great sound. The reverb is solid and can be very smooth and expansive, atmospheric etc. The Scream 4 distortion box also offers really high-quality distortion effects, and the little family of mastering units is useful. Also worth mentioning is the vocoder, which in my opinion rivals Native Instruments Vokator in terms of sound.
Reason just doesn't crash, unless you really mess with it, like if you feed back the mixer into itself in some crazy way, I forget how I've done it, but by really trying, I can make it crash somehow. But in regular use, it's easy to forget to save, because it's super-stable. Mostly because it's all completely proprietary, so there's no VSTs or DXis or RTAS plugins to mess with it. It's also really good on your CPU - you can write a big, thick song without crackling out your chip.
OVERALL OPINION
I guess I kind of started out with Reason. I've started using all the craziest software out there, using Live with all those rad arturia synths, which sound better than Reason, and I can technically get a better sound out of Live, but I still fire up Reason when I've got an idea for an electronic song, and I still make amazing songs in it, because it's easy to get to know, and it's easy to make weird and amazing patches with it and get really custom, which is what I like, so for me Reason gets the most love of any of my software.
