Love Reason flexibility, stability and user interface.


Just some corrections to the Specifications presented here:
Output: it doesn't export as mp3 natively.
Control: it isn't a VST, so it can't be controlled as a VST. It's Standalone or ReWire slave only app.
Est. Value: Reason 4 is now 349.00 USD (as of 2010)

Def one of the best progs ever made in history i think.

I mean it kicks the crap out of most apps which only allow certains functions, whereas Reason boasts a sequencer/arranger, along with Processors, synths, Samplers, and Mixers.

What more could you ask for....???
