Anyone tried this yet? I've yet to try the Reason series... any pros and cons?

Its not bad if u really get into it and tear apart the presets, they sound way too clinical, I like the Re-Drum Machine and Subtractor. Don't like the sampler or the compressor. Cool how you can flip over the rack and patch things up differently tho.

its good for the effects ie scream distortion but you need to get a separate wav editor to finish things

Yes, if you use the new vocoder (only in 2.5) as an EQing device there's much less need for .wav editing afterwards...
this has been an area reason has been weak on in the past, but they're getting there.
Pro's- Probably the fastest way to make a whole track (compared to other programs, aside from perhaps acid/live, but arranging samples is more like djing than composing). The Malstrom is quite unique sounding. The subtractor is very versatile (provided you use it with fx properly). Comparatively low cpu demands- very efficient.
Con's- Still needs the odd bit of post rendering to wav work.
No vst support.

Another con, no "export to loop" function to make perfect loops for use in dr. rex/acid/live. It is a great program though, I can't think of anything better for making drum and bass.

Surely if you just make the loop one bar longer then edit the gap out with a wav editor, problem solved.

I tried the Mac demo of 2.5, I couldn't figure out what was going on... maybe I iz just stoopid but it didn't seem to offer much help.

No, I did a thread on this before... it seems to be inpossible to make perfect loops with anything with reverb or any sort of delay. It's fine for percussive sounds, but for slow synth parts it always sounds stilted when looped. Floops on the other hand makes brilliant loops that are the audio equivalent of tiles...

tMore detail
I know you can work around it by cutting the loop where the signal is zero or even by harshly fading it, but I want a way of looping lush delay/reverb drenched pads without noticeable fades etc...

I must say I just started playing with it today and it looks pretty intuitive. I love rerouting the cables on the back. Visually it takes the options off of some confusing menu. Makes things easier to figure out while I'm stumbling through the learning process. I made a pretty solid groove in a matter of 30 mins or so and with only 3 tracks. So I'm guessing with time, I may be able to put some real nice stuff down with it.
