Even Propellerheads make a very strong claim about Reason being a 100% in the box solution. It can be misleading and is an attempt to disguise the lack of recording in Reason.
"All in one wonder"
"Reason is an infinitely expandable all-in-one music production environment, complete with its own realtime sequencer." That sounds like Sonar, Cubase e.t.c
Don't take my word for it read it for yourself on their own website.
To be fair to the Props they also call it a virtual Rack but clearly they also want to give the impression that it is indeed an "all in one" app which it clearly is not. They would be no ned for Record if that was the case.
Everyone I know that uses reason uses it in conjunction with another DAW like Live via rewire.
Agreed. Pretty much my experience as well.
It seems though with version 4 the Props wanted the perception of Reason to match the likes of Sonar, Cubase e.t.c. some of the descriptions for Reason are definitely misleading.
Maybe Reason 5 within a year maybe will have more focus on the Racks and less info on it being "all in one"...then again maybe it will have a simple audio recording device.
33mins...(hopefully the hype will not backfire) it seems a great solution for Reason users so far but very little else so far IMO. Lets see.
