should i......

should I switch to reason 2.0 ? and will that prog be hard to learn? and how did u learn to use it?

coz im using fruity loops 3.5 atm, with a few DXI and VST plugins (fm7, warldorf, pro.52...etc) and Acid 3.0 for mixing loops together (sorry, i dont know whats it called in "one word" in english).

so when u use reason, would u still use Acid 3.0 (or any other prog, like...madtracker, fasttracker...etc.) or u would use the integrated in reason tracker?

im just trying to find out as much as possible about reason functionality...and how it is compared to the setup like mine.

any information will be appreciated =)

Dude .. dont use reason

It dosnt support vsti, and it will limit u alot

i say u should look in 2 logic audio... its the BEST

its kind of a all in one program ( not very easy to learn it )

Posted by -AbsurD- on Jan-03-2003 11:26:

yeah, ive tried logic... kinda messy... ppl say its good, but I need a tutor to help me larn it....lol =)

why switch from FL - reason?

it's your choise really... i'm pretty sure that if you ask a question like this here you will hear like 50% say that you should switch and like 50% will say that you should stay with FL..

if you can handle FL the right way like many here can, and get a good sound of it, why change to something else???

ohh.. and reason users.. this isn't a FL is better then reason becaus of blabablablabla post... so don't go against it.. if there now is something to go against

caus there will probably always be a "fight" between the FL and reason users of witch program that is best...

I actually love those Reason vs. Fruity fights, cause i still haven't made my mind completely

Oh, how ignorant.

You can route VSTi to Reason via ReWire from Cubase etc... you can even sync ReBirth to run with it.

If you want other options, also check out Buzz at http://www.buzzmachines.com -- it's free, for one thing, and very powerful. If you have been using FL for a while, though, I don't see any reason to change.

Ok... by all means try reason out for a while. It isn't hard to use, and you have a big advantage if you're good with floops.

Then use whichever you like best... that's the only answer to these debates. Some like reason the best (why, I do not know, however ), and others like other tools.

It all comes down to how you are comfortable working.

could you do like a connection table on how to start things and what to start first and so on coz I've tried this but I can only rewire reason into cubase and not the other way around

I'm not really sure how it works as I've never tried to do it myself.

mkay damn...I think it only works so you can rewire reason into cubase and not cubase to reason :/

Just because you get reason it doesn't mean you have to stop using fl ? just download the reason2 demo from propellerheads.se and try it out. also, don't forget fruity 4 is just around the corner

Hey .. i got nothing against reason .. and i know about rewire ! but i was talking abuot reason alone.

I myself used reason till about 2 weeks ago.. logic just seems alot more easy and proffesional than reason+cubase

Enyways.. each person and his own opinion right ?

Posted by -AbsurD- on Jan-05-2003 05:37:

i dont know...i just got Logic Platinum 5.01 and .....umm.... the first question I had when I saw it, was.....What ta f**k is this? lol

Fruitty is easy to learn, and very comfortable to work with program... Reason is harder, but... iz alrite I guess... I dont think im gonna use it, tho... Cubase SX, it MIGHT be the most professional, and best music production program of all times, BUT its all messy as hell... i have Cubase SX, and I believe it works as a HOST for VST and DXI plug-ins, or something like that.....so whats so powerfull, and professional about it, if u still have to add bunch of stuff to it, to make it an actuall program? huh? oh well... Cubase SX would be good with hardware... but u can always MIDI IN hardware in Fruitty, and do the same thing....

Logic Platinum... eeeehhh.... worse then Cubase, in my opinion... u need a huge-ass manual to learn how it works.

I guess, Ill stay with fruitty.... and Ill try to MIDI OUT >>> MIDI IN Reason to Fruitty....my friend did it, because he says Reason's synths r powerfull... heh... they may be.... but i like my VST synths that I use in fruitty...

But if ill do that, Ill get User Friendly and easy to use Fruitty interface, and Reason's power combined =))

You can run Buzz machines from fruity.
