REASON

[eMDe]

Ive had this program FOR EVER but I always used XP-80 for my "real" beats and Floops for "fuckin around"

Well I HAVE FOUND THE COMBINAION!! REASON!! AS QUICK AS FL STUDIO (if u need to be fast) and quality of "real" beats

SHIT IS TIGHT MANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BANETHEMERCILES]

yea but the only drawback with reason is there is no midi out....i big no no if you work with gear.......i play with reason when im bored, its a dope little program for sure.

 

[Toxsick]

i fuck with that all the time

 

[Sick Wid It]

I haven't used it myself but I've heard good things about Reason. Probably worth looking into if not as a replacement or addition but atleast just to be aware of the option.

 

[28g w/o the bag]

i've made some clean shit with it, the loop player it got is great for me...

There's no MIDI out, but you can Rewire it with Cubase and use your XP-80 alongside with it. Along with whatever VST instruments/fx and other modules you may have.

I like the Dr Rex in Reason and the easy automation of any knob within the racks of the program.

sold my xp 80 bought a tight evolution

Its synths don't really measure up to what's in the VSTi realm though... The soundmodule is passible and I've heard some great things about the drummachine module, but to me, it never integrated into my Cubase setup as conviently as I would like.

I love Reason, work with it everyday. If you know how to use it you can make it sound just as good as anything out there.

those bass keys that you threw on here work well with Reason...

Wow, someone actually is using those... Goodness! The problem with Reason's sampler (and most I've seen) is that it doesn't have a legato mode, which is essential for a lot of synth bass samples. Each note is triggered from the begining of the envelopes and waveform when notes overlap in time, instead of maintaining the envelope and sample locations from the previous note in the case of overlaps.

Bumpus - The sampler in reason has legato

Reason is great the only things I don't like about it is its more geared towards Techno and dance music so it can be hard to find sounds sometimes

and no MIDI out

its great for people just starting out and you can do so much with it

 

[InsaneMixaken]

shit if the mixaken is down with reason that tells cats that the shit ain't no toy, I say that cuz alot of soft synths get a bad wrap. I make good stuff with it and as i expand my setup i think it will always be a big part of my lab.

 

[TronikBeatz]

yea... I agree with ^^^

the synths aint all that... but if you have any knowledge of synth programing you can make em sound really decent. But man I think alot of cats is sleeping on reason.. 2.5 is off the hook.. but it takes alittle more work to get it to sound tight... I use the NN-XT alot with high quality samples... shit is dope mayne!!!
