Why Must You Buy Reason 5.0 Music Making Software?

By Leonel Solei


Reason 5.0 is a computer program designed for making music that was created by a Swedish software company named Propellerhead Software. The program offers the ability to work with synthesizers, samplers, mixers, sequencers, and signal processors to name a just a few things.

Reason is basically a complete music studio but all inside your computer. Practically speaking it loses none of the functionality of a real life studio and is enough to create professional sounding music out of the box. As a stand-alone product it's already enough for the normal sized project, but if you want you can also combine it other audio software using Rewire.

Reason became famous when it was first introduced in the year 2000 for its original interface, most especially the studio rack which was designed to look exactly like the real thing, complete with wobbly cables at the back. You can choose and stack different instruments and effects on top of each other in the virtual rack, personalizing your music creation process.

There have now been four versions ever since the arrival of the first Reason more than a decade ago, and it just keeps getting better and better. Reason 5.0 subscribes to the same standard of excellence with new devices such as the Kong Drum Designer and the Dr. Octo Rex loop player. Of course you can expect significant improvements in the performance of the older instruments and effects as well.

The Neptune pitch adjuster is one of the new effects available only in Reason 5.0, which allows you to auto tune the vocal track. It also contains a voice synthesizer by which you can create new harmonies using your vocal tracks and MIDI keyboard. This is a fitting addition to all the great quality effects of Reason such as the chorus, reverb, vocoder, etc.

The one down side to Reason 5.0 is that it cannot actually record audio, therefore disqualifying it from being a digital audio workstation. However, there are plenty of ways to get around this and to record your audio creations with just a few clicks of the mouse. You will also find that this software does not support third party plug ins which some people tend to criticize Reason for, but this lends itself to the reliable stability of the software.

If you have the budget to buy only one music software, then chances are Reason 5.0 is the perfect buy for you!
