What’s Up With Propellerheads Record?
You may or may not know yet, but Propellerheads, the makers of Reason, have finally stepped into the new era and allowed audio recording
inside of Reason.
However, it’s a through a separate program make specifically for audio recording.
It’s supposed to be straight forward and made for us non engineer types
you know, the guys and gals that like to press record, and record!
Not having to worry about weird routing and arming and all that crap does excite me.
I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but I’ve heard the mixing is based on an SSL console.
My engineer buddies say it sounds good.
When I get my paws on it, I’ll be sure to let you know.
What do you think about them putting out a DAW?
I’m a Reasons user, my friends use Fruity Loops, I’m still on Reasons 4 though and I am about to step it up to Reasons 5.The only thing I don’t like was having to buy or find the ReCycle to make loops. Is the ReCycle or something similar included in Reasons 5? or do i have to buy it separate. As you know FL does it all already record,sample etc… Do you think Reasons is competing wt. FL?

@Just-Will, you can load regular wave loops in Reason but if you want rex loops yes you would need to have recycle to make them. Reason and FL are both powerful products.

Record/Reason is ALL I use now!!! I used to use cubase with A LOT of plug ins and stufff, but I always seemed messy to me. Now I my workflow is 100% faster and more fun! I can record Guitar, vocals, my keboards, and use Reason sounds all in the same place!!!
The Effects are great, the audio time stretching is just as good as Abbleton LIVE, and best of all… It has NEVER CRASHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am making the beats, recording, and mixing my WHOLE album with it!
Sure, you can find better plug ins and or sounds, but you will NOT find an simpler or more fun program to use!!!! I am NEVER going back to another program!

@Brandon Carter, word bro, you’re not the only one to say this, you know my motto, rock what you like son! That’s all that matters. I’ve had a few tell me how much they love it, and if it’s that simple man I could def see using it as a daw/recording platform. I’m no engineer so I don’t have a gang of plugins and such. Some I love, but I know many that love the sound of Record’s mixer.

@saintjoe, word, the only thing i miss is my Waves Plugin (especially the L3!!!) and the PSP vingage warmer. but thats a small pice to pay! You wont like it cuz you cant use native instruments machine, but you can always export your machine files into Record…. You got me thinking about buying machine now lol

@Brandon Carter, nah it’s coo man, I thought about using it just to export and mix down in. I downloaded the demo, I just wasn’t feeling the layout of the racks and such in there, all over the place lol.
I’m sure it’s dope though, but I’ll stick with Studio One if I need to mix down
Still using Reason as a sound module though!
