First off, I agree with the last post by MUDI!

Having had a few days with record now I can safely say its a lovely, hassle free environment to work in. I use many different pieces of software and plugins to write my music, and I believe its important to have a variety of work environments to keep your musical ideas fresh and interesting. I use Logic pro, Live, metasynth and reason all at once on occasions or separately on others, what record has given me is a new playground to put down creative ideas quickly, hell I bounced out audio from logic just to mix down in the record mixer and its just so fluid and sounds great. Like peter has said many times in these comments, variety and choice is a good thing, and as for the Dongle…i have a usb Port in my mac keyboard i almost never use, its no biggy! I also work on a laptop when Im away and a dongle just makes things easier with authorisation. I understand peoples gripes with usb space but the internet authorisation to me seems ok and fair, like many have said; reason is a heavily pirated software and it does effect Prop. There losing money which not only limits them to what they can put out but also the development of pre-existing software, if your moaning about lack of support for reason and questioning if there will be any support for it now that record has come along: PAY FOR IT and prop may invest money and time to make it even better!

Bought Record about two months ago, and so far over Pro-Tools and Cakewalk this is easy for anyone to set up and get right in the software. It sounds clear no getting lost trying to assign audio cards this that and the other. I understand that there are no Plug-in’s “yet” Reason has left room to add more rack mounts more synth style modulars and effects. If you understand Reason you will get this! If you are a MAC Pro-tools junkie forget it. This is straight forward-start your recording now. I can’t tell you how many times I have played with bands and the majority of the time is dicking around with the sound-cards for Pro-tools and Sonar, this is annoying as hell. As far as the Donggle Dingle key that is good, it keep people from stealing the software. I can’t tell you how many people I know have hacked a copy of Reason. So good for propellerhead, I recomend this for people who don’t have to rely on dumming up their sound with plug-ins. If your a true synth or keyboard player you will understand that any sound can be achieved in Reason if you know what you are doing. Now all you auto tune hacks might as well stay with your Pro-tools cause I don’t see any plug-ins for this in the near future.

SANTI – I guess you need to come to this site and bitch because you regret spending so much time and money on Logic Pro. How about you just head on over to http://discussions.apple.com where some other wax head may be interested in your tripe.

I have the same question as Annatar:

I have a microKorg. Can I use some sounds from that keyboard in my recordings using Reason 4 or Record???

I have to record them as audio if I understand right???

Just purchase a copy, virtualize the app and the environment it is running in, or just virtual the environment once the dongle is installed! It may get a little annoying having to run the virtualized application before you run RECORD, but you will have a full blown, working copy.

LOL @ sunahura… your right SSL is the ish. But Record can’t touch it either. I would love to hear an A/B comparison of this to the SSL plugs from waves. Lets not get carried away. This software is not the PT/Logic/SSL4000(waves vst) killer that you are implying it is…

Had to have it. Logic is nice, but the learning curve is steep. I’ve had it a while and I’m still learning it. Being an Old School Analog Guy, this thing is just what I was looking for. Looks and acts just like a real studio, right down to buttons and wires! Gotta love it. It took long enough to learn recording the old way. No relearning here.

I don’t have a DAW, I just built a jampad, I have reason 2.5

I paid $150 and got upgraded to reason 4.0 PLUS got Record….

I don’t care about other plug ins as I have none

this is a great deal and very powerful for me

I’m stoked!
