Sooo I decided I will invest a little more and get a DAW that can do what I want to do without trying to teach millions of unnessecary before I can create a simple beat. Maybe you ask whats your experience well you are right let me explain: I started out with Reason 3 about 4 years ago and then wasted a year on it until I could do something exceptable with it, but then I realised my productions were sounding very much alike to the other reason users. You mean you were able to mess around with Absynth as a standalone application not as VST, right?ĭo not waste your time with Reason (no offence to hardcore fans) it may seem little cheaper with all the limitation that they put around that application means, there are thousands of people using the same sound same synths, same arpeggiation (Thor the reason arpeggiator, probably the most limited and not user friendly one out there).

Look on the Web: make sure that you get something that will work for the things you want to do. If you are looking for a computer, I would say search the Web for some tip, but basically, the faster the CPU the better. If you are new to this, I would suggest that you start small, with only Reason, or with a simple DAW (like Reaper for example) with a few VSTs (like Absynth). This way, you can use Reason inside the DAW, and alongside VSTs like Absynth. If you want to use Reason AND VST plug-ins, you can use a DAW (like Cubase or Sonar) that supports ReWire (a standard by the company that makes Reason) as well as VSTs. ) that will run in a production environment (DAW) that supports VSTs (of course!). It is a specification that allows companies to develop programs (synthesizers, effects. VST is a standard that was developed by Steinberg (maker of Cubase). Reason is a closed production environment, meaning you can't load VST plug-ins.
