I used it for more than an year.
Great program "all in one".
Cool features, easy use.

Problem: Not exactly awesome in it's sound characteristics.

but can't you get decent instruments

It has a samler (two in Reason 2) where u can feed
anything.
Beatbox also takes whatever u throw there.
The problem is the synth sound. Not fat at all. Effects
included also crappy.

Anyway, it´s more than decent. But can´t compete with
Logic Audio native synths...

IMO, of course

Reason is also a (german?) type of chocolate. It's very
chewy- nice though.

hey, as a basic tracker ACID PRO 3.0 is really quite good.
so if like me you record parts of songs at friends houses,
studios, anywhere you can find you can always come back to
ACID and put it all together. really great for placing
verses, moving chorus, etc. by like heptanary said logic is
prob the best.

i just used some native synths in a song, the sound came out
really nice. :)

Yeah, I made a lot of stuff with acid a couple of years ago.
I've lost it all though :(

They never took of in this country. I think that like lots
of German and Austrian food, they're too "stodgy" for Brit's
tastes.

Still this has little to do with musc software, so I'll be
quiet now...

is it obligatory to use a midiboard

I think u would be very happy with reason.
And for the price, nothing can beat it.
U get samplers, synths, b-boxes, effects, mixers,
sequencers, a huge library of samples and instruments...
Very easy to use and cool looking.

I just said it could sound better in some aspects.
But somehow I´m a sound maniac...

And no, u need no extra gear.
A midi controller would be cool anyway

Rewire is cool.
Using Reason and Cubase SX u can send midi tracks straight
from SX to any part of Reason (a sampler, a synth...).
That´s new in SX.

Didn't know...

And what abut Reason+Rebirth+Cubase?

When I'm into that I get the feeling that I need four
monitors.

A REALLY HUGE ONE

Maybe a 35" TFT

I run a res. of 1600*1200 and re-birth seems tiny on screen.
You could fit it and reason on screen together easily...

I run 1280x1024 in a 15" shitty monitor

After using my 22" TFT Iiyama at home work's monitors seem
crap. When I use one of my collegues computers it actually
hurts my eyes.

Malestrom grantable synthesis is pretty cool.... and the new
sampler is what the sampler should have been in the first
place. Someone said that the sounds seem kinda flat.....
thats not really a problem if you export it and beef it up
in logic with some effects. And the new malestrom synth
doesnt seem that flat to me.... Its a great application....
and there are TONS of things you can do with it. 10/10 stars
