For the past 10 years music producers, beat-makers, sound designers, and game composers have made Reason’s highly creative environment a mainstay of their toolbox. All the while Reason has become a mainstay of the education process as well.
To see how Propellerhead Software’s Reason 5, Record 1.5, and Recycle are being taught in the classroom, we visited some top institutions around the world. These educators let us into their classrooms and studios to discuss how they’re leveraging the power of the Reason rack to teach not only in-the-box desktop audio production, but hardware-based studio production and even studio wiring/design as well.

Most producers use Apple logic,Pr Tools,Cubase,Sonar,
Fl Studio.
Ableton live is a good DJ software. Reason is not really sequencer per say.The easiest one to use is Presonus studio one,logic,fl studio,pro tools.
Test a demo of each to see what you like. Some sequencers like logic run only on MAC.Fl studio,Sonar only on PC. Sequencers that run on both platforms are:Cubase,Pro Tools,Ableton Live,Reaper,Studio One.
Most producers use Mac because they give less conflicts such as latency issues and computability issues. Macs cost more than PC and not all software run on Macs.
If you planning to build PC based DAW check rain recording or adk pro audio or sweetwater creation station PC ready. Audio processing and running multiple plug-ins drain down the cpu and ram. Get at least 8gb of ram and dual /quad core cpu.

When James goes out to give Reason presentations and demos, he gets one question more often than anything else: “How do I hook up this very cool Vocoder that makes no sound when I try to use it?” Vocoders are neat but they don’t work the way we’re used to synths working at first glance. There are no oscillators or LFOs… there are instead Carriers and Modulators… bands… and other weirdness. But this week James breaks it all down simply and he’ll have you getting in touch with your inner-robot in no time!

Think Thor is ONLY a versatile and amazing sounding synth? Think again because Thor is also one of the coolest audio processors you’ve got… you just didn’t know it.
