What is it? Features Sounds The mixer What's new?
There's no fucking with VSTs, they don't use them in Reason (so the system can stay super stable)
There are soundbanks included, all ready to compose any style, but if you need more it's an easy download.
When you save your project, you don't have 56 audio files stored in folders, you have a single *.reason
You don't need to know how a DAW works to use it, it's straightfoward for the simple musician, but you can go very very deep in details, tricks and production as you learn more.
