Virtual studio rack
At the core of Reason Intro is Reason's famous virtual rack, which builds itself as you build your composition. Pack your rack with as many instruments and effects as your music needs. As you add a device, your rack connects and routes everything for you. Want to roll up your sleeves and dive in? Flip the rack around and patch audio and control voltages freely between devices. Feel free to explore and don't worry — nothing will ever break and you're always one undo away from fixing any sonic malfeasance you may have introduced.
Use any plug-ins you want
Reason Intro includes VST plug-in support, so you can expand your rack any plug-ins you want. Drag-and-drop them from the browser, put them into Combinators with Reason Intro’s own devices or Rack Extensions — the sky's the limit when working in Reason Intro! Worried about latency? Don't be! Reason Intro's built-in plug-in delay compensation keeps your sound in phase at all times.
State-of-the-art recording and mixing
Capture your creative inspirations in Reason Intro’s powerful sequencer. Record and edit audio, MIDI or automation with robust recording and editing tools. Record first and fine tune the tempo later with Reason Intro’s amazing Time Stretch feature. Correct the timing of your audio recording non-destructively with Slice Edit. Or resample, rework, and reshape your recordings into something entirely new.
Fluid creative flow
Propellerhead designed Reason Intro to feel like a responsive, inspiring musical instrument that keeps you focused on making music. The clutter-free interface has no hidden sub-menus to interrupt your creative flow. Everything is integrated; the sequencer and instruments are tightly linked, without the need for connections or configuration. You can drag-and-drop instruments, patches, and audio from the always-open browser to the rack or to the sequencer. Reason Intro takes care of the housekeeping and lets you concentrate on your music.
