Reason+ - subscription music making

[Rhythm]

Just seen they released this today. I'm relatively new to the music making scene so hadn't really settled on a DAW/tool yet. I tried Ableton for a couple months but couldn't get on with it. Currently using a freebie copy of Studio One 5 that came with my audio interface but my workflow isn't exactly established, so I have to say this has really piqued my interest.

So for £19.99 per month you get:
- latest version of Reason
- all 70+ of their instruments/effects etc
- access to a sound library that will have new shit added every week

If you're already a Reason owner then you get 50% off your first year.

How many Spotify plays before you start making a profit?

I think you missed the memo, aren't we supposed to only be doing this for fun?

No, silly, it's for *exposure*

What is Reason? The website makes it look like it a bunch of soft synths.

Is there a step sequencer in there too?

I've given my FL licence to my son. Wondering about what to try next...

[Rhythm]

It's a full DAW, yes. The Reason+ pack comes with a stack of instruments and tools behind it (including sequencer).

First time I heard about it was when they pushed their virtual rack stuff a few years back. It's like those virtual pedal packs (like Bias FX) but for rack instruments. You can even flip the rack to change how the shit is wired together.

Haha, shit. Just found out Studio One, the software I'm already using, has a similar service for £13.40 at the moment. Might be a better fit for me given I've already started learning to use the base pack :-)

For the home DAW user Studio One all the way IMO (Ableton for more live maniputlation stuff).

Originally coded by Steinberg Nuendo coders who wanted to focus on super slick workflow..

Most other DAWs have been playing catch up with S1 innovations for a while now.

Check out the Sphere license.. some of the bundled stuff is great!
