I used it a few years ago, not looked at it for a while now though. It was easier to use if you had all the real gear in your spare room

If you have a pukka copy, the help file is excellent. There are loads of forums as well.

But as with all music, it's very much a suck-it-and-see thing, play about and see what you get. Don't skimp on your output devices though!

Bush an Jud. Reason 4 is a music creation software.

Using a controller keyboard (basically a keyboard but with no speakers and no sounds)

You use the built in sounds and sequencer to piece together music.

Its mega bl**dy handy as its got thousands of sounds and instruments all of which i dont have the money or space for!

Im a bit 50/50 on my speaker choice at the moment mate.

There Creative Gigaworks T40's. Clarity and quality is fantastic but its a very restricted sound. With no subwoofer you dont 'feel' the music.

With the system i have in the truck you feel every little bit of the music. I guess its just getting used to it really. At least i can crank the volume an my parents dont complain because the house wont shake from a sub.

Using reason an the Pod Farm and Gearbox software from Line 6 for my guitar/bass inputs im pretty rigged up here for any kind of recording.

so im well chuffed!

[JUDWAK]

so its like ejay type programe?

I think the reason 4 pod farm is line 6 to be honest, with a manual gearbox.

Feck, what the chuff are you on about? My missus thinks I'm a geek cos I want a virtual radar system hooked into my scanner!

Seriously, get a guitarport cheap with gearbox software an grab yourself a cheap bass mate. Then when your tinkering on the net you can be playing bass! Great fun

Dont get me wrong!

Its not a subsitute for an amp. Mine is sat behind me! 150w Line 6 Spider 2 teamed up with a Hughes and Kettner cabinet!! Veeery tasty!!!


But still, Loads of different sounds an the ability to just have a quick jam without blowing your ear drums!

I'm only an amateur as far as creation goes, but I'd be looking at your maximum budget and spending 20% on a sound card, 20% on speakers (you ned a sub!) and 60% on amps. Then build up from there.

What you play it back from, or on, isn't a huge issue. The mistakes are made and quality gained at creation. Think Prodigy and Faithless, you can bet your ass they spend more on their creation equipment than they do on their laptops and soundstages?
