Propellerhead REASON 8 Music Creation SoftwareReason is an integrated software music recording and production studio with audio recording, million-dollar mixing, and a massive collection of instruments, sounds and effects. Reason's legendary flow lets you stay focused on the music and explore your options as you go along. With a completely integrated environment like Reason, you will face fewer dialog boxes, more inspiration and more music.
Instruments and effectsAt the heart of Reason is a virtual rack that builds itself as you create your song. Create instruments and effects and route them any way you want. Need more gear? No problem. Choose a synth, a drum machine, a loop player or any device from Reason's browser and simply drag it to the rack. And because Reason is designed to go easy on your computer, you can keep adding to your song until you're more than happy.
A single keystroke will turn Reason's rack around, and you'll find yourself in patch cord heaven. When a new device is created it's automatically connected for you, but If you want to go deep, you can repatch by dragging the patch cord plug to the desired connector.
Recording and editingReason's powerful yet easy to use sequencer comes with all the editing features you need. Capture MIDI performances and automation, record and overdub audio, or draw in your notes with the mouse. Any mistakes can easily be corrected, adjusted or quickly spliced together from multiple takes. If your playing is too tight-use Reason's ReGroove Mixer to add more human feel.
With Reason's renowned time stretch you can record first and pick your tempo and key later. Change the tempo of your song on the fly, and the audio follows right along. Change the pitch, correct the timing of your audio recording, or use the automatic audio-slicing to turn your performance into something completely new. Resample your audio recording as REX files and continue working with your sounds and loops in the Reason rack.
Sound bankFinding that right sound is an important part of the musical process. Reason's built-in sound bank is packed with gigabytes of synths, samples, drum kits, loops and effects. Reason's smart browser makes finding the right sound across a huge sample library a breeze.
The mixing consoleGive your tracks that million dollar sound with Reason's studio grade mixing console, faithfully modeled after* the legendary SSL 9000k console. With the famous master-bus compression, full dynamics, EQ and effects handling on every channel, the Reason mixer will be your weapon of choice to tap into the clarity, punch, and analog characteristics of your favorite records. The spectrum analyzer window with visual EQ control makes it easy to fine-tune the sound of your tracks.
