I bought 6.5, I should be able to get this as an upgrade for about 100 quid, and most likely will do.

Best thing I see is the spectrum analyser. Big useful tool when mastering. Also, its nice to know they've added to the sound bank, Not that i use it much but its good for ideas.

Looks nice, I'd say more of an improvement than a complete overhaul, but they already did that with the gap from 5 - 6 / 6.5.

At first its like using a completely new program but really worth the leap.

I genuinely think Reason is an excellent program to learn if you actually care to know " why " you have to do certain things, instead of just doing it.

I don't have much hardware tbh, just my Novation Remote SL-25 Compact.
Certainly thinking of getting a kaosscillator pro soon though

KAOSSILATOR Pro and KP3 together are a 'tour de force' !

I wholeheartedly recommend them , individually , but most definitely as a pair !

Korg are really pushing the envelope these days , leaving Roland in its wake !

Integrating hardware is a massive leap , unless all you have as outboard is record decks and mp3 players .

I have several choice pieces of gear that will benefit from this update , especially with cv !

I think in general Propellerhead are really making good software these days.

They've really nailed it now that Reason is a fully fledged DAW.

You know in about 8 years using reason, I've never had it crash on me or glitch up. Not once.

Good program but have they sorted the sound quality yet. By that I mean rewire it to a DAW or it sounds muddy.

What DAW is it rewired to ?

What audio interface are you currently using ?

I think Reason sounds as muddy as you make it.

I'm pretty sure some of the Prodigy albums were made on Reason 3. The muddyness didn't stop those selling.

You're referring to "always outnumbered, never outgunned" ,and it's not a 100% Prodigy album either, more like Liam on his bedroom laptop then meeting other artists to record instruments, drums/percussion and vocals. Some of the synths came out of reason and that's about it, each and every track was bounced and reworked in pro tools.

Mc burgers are rubbish but that doesn't stop them selling either. AONOG barely sold silver when all the other albums are multi platinum.

They probably improved the sound algorithm, but I'll wait for the feedback before I consider putting some more dollar towards something I don't necessarily need. I used reason a lot for synths, but now there's also things like massive and reaktor. At least now you can record instead of having to pay extra for the plugin. Quite a leap indeed, they're selling it as in "omg omg, you can plug your gear in now". Meanwhile, every other DAW has been doing it for decades.

Also going to cost a fortune if you want the full package, essentials and refills. Big fat meh from me.

Too many to list, here for you today.
