reason three point oh my!
The old adage of the watched pot never boiling is true my friends and friendettes. I have been semi-religiously checking the Propellerheads website waiting for version 3 of the excellent Reason. And so on the very same day as my birth Propellerheads have delivered a rather cool present the world in general. Reason 3.0.
This time out it features "the Combinator" (the swedish alternative to the Governator) which allows for chaining together several reason instruments and saving them as presets. This is a nice addition, as sometimes you want to hang onto the elaborate signal chain you've made previously but dont want to do the "save as..." thing as you tend to not make sounds afresh. Also getting a lookin is a new mastering suit going by the name MSuite - I know that with my tracks reason's line level is at least 2-3 db lower than what I'd call acceptable even driving the volume right up - and they require mastering. Nice to add a more finished sound to the mix without having to boot up any other program. I for one welcome our new sweedish programmer overlords and look forward to the day that Propellerheads release their very own version of Windows.
I love Reason for so many reasons... (no pun intended) it really is quite amazing, its fast, stable, intuitive, great fun - it even runs on very low spec machines (think Pentium 200) for basic composition. Oh and 3.0 features improved out of the box presets for control interfaces, simultaneous automation and lots of other great stuff. Oh my! I must have.
