Propellerhead Reason 4 (No Longer Available)Item ID: Reason4Soft Synth Workstation - Mac/PC Sorry, the Propellerhead Reason 4 is no longer available. We've left this page up for reference only. Check out the great alternatives on this page or call toll-free (800) 222-4700 to speak with a Sweetwater Sales Engineer about similar products. From Our Research Team:A Musician-friendly Music Production EnvironmentReason 4 is far more than a virtual instrument or even a collection of virtual instruments, it is a complete music creation and environment loaded with powerful tools such as synthesizers, samplers, and drum machines. Reason 4 has all of the effects, signal processors, and complex routing options of a full-fledged DAW and more. From its simplest subtractive synthesizer “Subtractor” to its complex “Thor” modular synthesizer, Reason 4 will inspire you to create the sounds, textures, and sequences you need to express yourself with music. Its analog-style, virtual rack environment is incredibly intuitive, and its flexible routing and automation options are nearly limitless. So, whether you’re scoring films or making beats, add Reason 4 to your toolbox and let the inspiration begin.What makes Reason 4’s user interface powerful is its sheer intuitive design. There are two parts to Reason 4’s environment, a control section with all of the main transport controls and sequencer tracks, and the virtual rack. The control section is simple to navigate and as straight forward as possible, but the astonishing aspect of Reason 4’s design is the virtual rack. Reason 4’s rack appears to be an endless virtual 19” equipment rack, into which you load its devices. With the push of a button, you can flip the rack around and access these units’ cables. The cables are color coded to keep them separate, and by simply dragging and dropping from one unit’s output to another’s input, you can rout Reason 4’s signal paths. Reason 4 is primarily a music production program (though it’s a favorite amongst sound designers as well), so synthesizers and samplers make up the bulk of its devices. You get an impressive selection of sound modules, including subtractive, wavetable, granular, and modular synthesizers; simple mono-timbrel and complex multi-timbrel samplers; a loop-based sampler; and sample-based drum machine. You get an enormous library of sounds and preset options, so you never have to make your own patches if you don’t want to. However, each of Reason 4’s sound modules has advanced signal and control options to satisfy anyone who wants to go beyond the stock sounds. When it comes to signal routing and effects, Propellerhead certainly doesn’t hold back. You have access to an unlimited number of console-style and line-style mixers, allowing for sub-mixing and grouping with a clear visual distinction between groups. There are simple and complex versions of reverb and distortion units, as well as creative extras including a “Combinator” that lets you create advanced layers and splits between instruments, and a vocoder that lets you create some crazy sounds. On top of that, Reason 4 gives you a powerful set of mastering-grade dynamics processors that you can use to pump up your mix. Once you start exploring the endless possibilities of Reason 4, you’ll never make music the same way again. Propellerhead Reason 4 Music Production Software Features at a Glance:

I am in love with Reason 4. I am fourteen year old touring (don't laugh) keyboardist and I have loved gigging with Reason.

I picked this up about a month ago and i picked up a copy of the reason 4 power books and dug in. This program is all in all top of the line. I love the swing and sound you can generate with reason 4.... read more [+] I also use FL studio 8 and i just picked up a copy of live 7 LE... But so far reason4 and FL studio are my favorite. Live 7 LE might be on that list soon as well... but if you can only afford $400 then reason is the one to get. close [-]

with the new features in reason 4 (reason 3 wasn't as appealing without them) including thor and the new sequencer you can make almost any kind of music in reason 4. i use primarily to come up with so... read more [+]ng ideas and often my whole instrumental if creating a hip-hop beat. with external refills it becomes a hardware ether-ater. i no longer need any keyboards!!! if you're into wanting to create hip-hop beats and you think software is only for people who can't afford hardware and if you think it's only for semi-pro's here's a list a pro's using reason 4: dj khalil, dj toomp, wonder arillo, etc. close [-]

by William Mcknight aka fatboy aka da beasts from nashville, TN
What can't you do with this thing? Score a movie check lay down the next pop, hip hop, RnB hit check, write a commercial jingle check, design some sounds, check. Okay here is the point; I layed down a... read more [+] hip hop track for a client using Reason logic and the Duende mini plugins, my competition used a fantom (nothing against roland) and guess who sold their track yeah that was me. Now of course the bass line was killer and I used Ampeg for it, but the point is music now a days is done inside the box (where I live) and Reason 4 is my fantom and my Akai drum machine rolled into one. Plus this thing is unlimitedly expandable through refills (i think a new one comes out daily). Forget what others are talking about if you do hip hop or RnB Reason 4 is the BEAST you need, but do me a favor and stop using the stock sounds. For real people spend some money on a refill or 2 or 3 or 4 or like me 32 and counting, or at the very least learn to tweak the sounds. close [-]
