[kj] [OT] Propellerheads' Record (add on to Reason) beta invites

[folk devil]

oh gimme back my 909,303 Juno and 101! ;)

 

I think it's cos I have produced A LOT of techno in my time, that I find it 'generic'.

I had much more fun with Octamed :P (although my eyes didn't)

Can you travel away from the rigid timing, with this version?  i.e. anything but 16s, 4/4 etc..

However, these days I am more into found sound and field recordings...

And in my experience, getting beneath the hood generally means hitting Tab by mistake, thinking “ooh! Virtual cables!”, disconnecting everything and plugging them back at random and either getting no sound at all, or more rarely blowing up a monitor speaker (true story).
 
I think Reason’s great, and its main shortcoming was the inability to easily use recorded audio, addressed by Record. I imagine it’ll take the place of my Boss HDD multi-track for getting things down before I forget them.
 
I too resisted Reason for a while (until v3) as I associated Propellerheads with this:

and had, and have, no interest in technobollocks.
 
But Logic does my heavy lifting.

It is a lot more than that 
 
I think the problem is that it is very easy to do that sort of stuff with it (in much the same way as it is quite easy to hammer out power chords on a guitar) 
 
Get beneath the hood and have a poke around and you can do some amazing stuff with it

Back when I used Reason, it worked fine on PC. Truthfully, I found it limiting and got bored with it quickly. It seems to be another piece of software for people to do very generic carbon copy techno.

Yes, although Reason on OS X works better than Reason on the same hardware under XP via BootCamp, in my experience.

Fair point, ever since Macs went dual platform ;)
Logic is Mac only? Although it was a few years ago now, I was running it on my PC..
Waves have some nice plug-ins, I concur :)

Trueish, although less so than a couple of years back. You can use Reason, Cubase, Live, and in my view all the decent plugins (Waves, NI, ImpOSCar, etc. etc.) on both platforms these days. Logic’s the Mac-only (and is fantastic – I was dumbstruck when I saw what you get for the money with Logic Studio), versus Sonar being PC-only.
 
What have I missed?
