[QUOTE="Verdigris, post: 1091937, member: 13151"] Ah, yes. "Reason" is a fantastic studio program and since there is "Reason II" out there, obtaining the original for cheap should be no sweat. Although it is more information than you probably need, one of Reason's limitations is that you can't incorporate outside "plugins" into it, which means that if you (someday) buy an independent synthesizer program or some cool effect from a different vendor, it can't be directly integrated into Reason. There are often workarounds for this sort of problem, but its a good enough program that not having plugins will probably not hinder you initially at all. FYI, Reason's interface is essentially a virtual representation of a classic analog studio, replete with wiring and traditional mixing consoles. Very beautiful. If you *do* suspect that Reason is for you (i.e. that you like its style and its "feel" versus other program) also consider Cakewalk's brand new program "Project 5" which is essentially the same thing as Reason II with souped-up capabilities and plugin support. Its a couple of hundred bucks, though. Acid Pro is often compared to Fruity Loops and although I have not used it myself, I suspect based on its extreme popularity that it is very good as well. Regardless of what you use to get there, the world *really* needs Cthulu ambient electronica. Good luck and keep us aprised of your progress. [/QUOTE]
