When Reason first came out it was a music software revolution. Created by the Swedish group Propellerhead Software, it provides everything that music software are expected to have, such as the synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, mixers, effects, etc., but presents them in a brand new way and with superior quality.
It's almost exactly like a real studio, except it's virtual. But the look of the components, from the bars, gliders, buttons etc., are all copied from the real hardware. Even without the use of any other sequencing software, you are already guaranteed to be able to create sounds never heard before.
It all started back in 2000 with the release of Reason 1.0. The number one element which caught everyone's attention was the virtual studio rack, where you could insert your choice of effects and virtual instruments. This studio rack looked exactly like the real thing, complete with wobbling cables at the backside!
Ever since that powerful debut, there have been four more versions, the latest being Reason 5.0 which was released late 2010. Of course, Reason 5.0 is overflowing with new features, such as the Kong Drum Designer, Dr. Octo Rex, Neptune Pitch Adjuster, and so much more! All these features come with cool sounding names too.
There are also a number of different effects available in Reason 5.0. Some of the most popular include but are not limited to distortion, reverb, a vocoder, a chorus and even popular mastering effects. There are also plenty of customizable features that come with Reason 5.0 which helps to make your experience a unique one when you're using it.
The only criticism against Reason 5.0 is its inability to record audio. I guess the guys at Propellerhead are still stubborn in that way. You can still get around it though. Another sign of the priorities of the Propellerhead people is that Reason 5.0 still doesn't support third party plug-ins, making Reason 5.0 very self-contained and one of the most stable music softwares out there.
The bottom line is that with the affordable price tag and the quality set up, you can't go wrong when investing in this new software.
