Propellerhead Reason 6 DAW at a Glance:
  • Record audio
  • New Effects
  • New workflow and technology enhancements


Record Audio
The biggest new feature of Propellerhead Reason 6 is the integration of audio recording. Reason 6 is now a complete DAW. All of the audio and editing features of Propellerhead Record have been integrated, add this to the mixing console, multiple parallel racks, and the killer effects of Reason and you get a new powerhouse in the DAW world.

New Effects
Reason has always been known for its amazing effects collection, and these latest additions in Reason 6 are sure to become favorites. The Echo is a multi-purpose delay tool. Create everything from slight delays to complete stutters, use the filters and envelopes to further tweak your sound and morph it into something new. The Alligator is a three-channel pattern-based gate. When a signal enters it is split into three signals, each of which are independently processed. Next the signals are sent through a filter section and FX section to tweak to your heart's content. Reason 6 also includes the Pulverizer, a crunchy compressor with dirty distortion, a multimode filter and flexible modulation. Neptune is a full-featured pitch correction and voice synth device.

New workflow and technology enhancements
Reason 6 makes recording and creating as simple as possible. Ever have an issue where you record all the back-up music only to have the singer need another key? The new audio transpose function lets you change the key of your piece without re-recording. The legendary time stretch feature lets you pick a change the tempo of you song, even after all the parts are recorded. A huge recording meter allows you to play your guitar across the room and still see what is going on. Being a 64-bit program, Reason 6 is more powerful and robust than ever.

  • Record audio directly in Reason
  • 64-bit software

More Reasons than ever to use Reason...

by Elwood Blues from Ocean County,N.J.
November 18, 2011
Music Background: Keyboardist and recording hobbyist
Reason 4 was always my main creation station for adding synths & guitar sounds to my songs,but bouncing tracks from one PC to another constantly,just to complete my songs was decidedly inconvenient.<... read more [+]br />
I wasn't thrilled with the idea of Record,so I had never bothered with and I was growing really frustrated with having to begin a song in Reason first,to make it easier to sync up to the rest of my instrumental arsenal in my studio.

Not only did Reason 6 streamline & simplify the way I create in my studio,it offer everything I would ever need to get the job done.

The high-points of this version for me,are the flexible customization of all of the windows in Reason 6,the sub windows along the bottom of the audio/midi sequencer window and the Kong drum machine!
The Kong module is probably the most incredible part of this package I think,in that not only is there a nice arsenal of new drum sounds,but the customization,flexibility & built in effects of Kong alone,are worth the price of this upgrade!
Having yet another sample player which is the ID8,is a real joy,because sample-based sounds are such an integral part of my song making.
With the ridiculous amount of effects resources that Reason now has-along with the additional modules added,one can spend the rest of his/her life creating new patches and never make the same sound twice!
If this version had been released a couple of years ago,I would have never bothered with purchasing Presonus S1 or NI K-6.

An equally amazing feature of this program and with this company as a whole,is how amazingly fast & simple it is to install & set up!
I especially like that the license key is already installed on the USB flash drive,that is included in the package.

The depth of this program as well as the low CPU-usage,makes this the best overall value in the industry. close [-]

Well worth the upgrade

I've been using Reason since version 3. Also, I've been waiting since version 4.5 to upgrade. I can say that it was worth every penny to upgrade. Now that I've looked through the software, I'm left... read more [+] wondering what else they could add to this program.
I'm also very happy that they've added audio recording. I've always liked the FX that were in the program and their ease of use. In the past I've had to record a "perfect take" in another software, then trigger it as a sample to access the FX. No more! :-) close [-]

My Reason to finally ditch ProTools!

I bought by Reason upgrade directly from Propellerheads with their "pay what you want offer" and it is one of the best upgrades yet!

I've been a Reason user since version 3 and I have ... read more [+]helped beta test every release since including this one. Blending Record and Reason together was the best thing they could have ever done and the new effects are killer!! The sound quality is great and the 64bit works like a dream on my PC running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

I have yet to try the audio transpose but if it works half as good as the built in time stretching then I'm sure I will not be disappointed. Also, you have not mixed until you have used this mixing section! Modeled after the SSL9000k this thing is a beast and I have been going in and remixing all of my old ProTools sessions and bringing new life to them... I no longer have a need for ProTools everything I need to do in my studio can be done in Reason 6. close [-]

The new "block mode feature" is great for creating a quick arrangement. Also, I actually like the new "dongle or web" copy protection method. It's nice to have the option to install the software a laptop, desktop, etc. My only complaint is that the piano sounds are weak. I will probably purchase the piano expansion pack at some point.

I use Logic and Pro Tools for a variety of projects but Reason is becoming my "go to" application for projects that involve synthetic textures--it's a blast to use! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
