hey guys,
i've been producing with cubase for the past couple years.. im really getting the hang of it now, but recently, iv been looking into REASON. i dont want to ask which one is better, because both of them im sure have great qualities of their own, but if i move to reason, would that kinda be a downgrade? i feel like im SO flexible with cubase and i can do everything possible with it... but i dono much about reason..
what do you guys think? |

im sorry of its the wrong forum, i didnt realize that.
i dont want to use both because i want to get the hang of one of them. i want to stick to one and just learn everything on one. |

| Just go with Cubase, more options in the long run. |

...then why are you even looking at Reason if you're already using Cubase? |

| Reason is easy and have a far more inspiring interface...also it does for a strange REASON give you more of that hidden creativity and motivation also. The sound in Reason is excellent. I would rather choose Ableton Live though. |

Reason is a piece of poo imho.
1 ) Sound quality was good in the late '90s, now its FAR behind the competition.
2 ) No external FX or instruments make it very limited.
3 ) Have to buy a separate program to record, which is silly.
4 ) Even though its so lacking in almost every aspect (thanks to no external plugin support) they still charge a hell lot for it.
Saying all that it does have a few decent modules and presets on board, so if you like the sound you can reWire it with other host. |

I'm willing to bet you couldn't even tell the difference. |

You can try to mask the inferiorities and as I mentioned there are a handful of useful tools in there. But can you even get close to, lets say NI Massive with the sound quality of reasons synths ?
The obvious answer is no.
So maybe Sylenth 1 ?
No.
Or maybe some higher end reverbs ?
Well ... no.
How about a more advances sampler like Kontakt ?
... no
Can you use hi end compression ? Analogue tube gear emulations ?
Well ... no.
So that boils down to a question, what and how you use stuff. The synth, effects and sampler quality in Reason is equivalent to free vst and au plugs ... but you have to pay for it. |

| This is probably the dumbest question I've ever seen asked in this forum. |
