Product Description:

Reason comes in the shape of a classic studio rack, packed with all the gear you could possibly need: Samplers, Analog synths, Mixers, Step time drum machines, Effects, and a realtime multi-track sequencer for fast and intuitive music making. Everything is there except the drawbacks, no tripping over cables or locating ground hum. All of Reason's 16 devices have the look and feel of the real thing, but more importantly, they have the sound, the performance and the attitude to rival any hardware out there.. And you can use each device as many times as your CPU can handle.

Reason ReviewThe best got better... - Version: 4.0, 11/4/2007 01:11PM PST

As a beta tester for Reason 4.0, I can now say after using the released version, that the best audio production/sequencing software just got even better. The new sequencer is outstanding, and the new additions to the rack are quite different and useful.

Reason is revolutionary software, and any person at all involved with music production at any level should own a copy of it. Highly recommended.

It definitely seems like during the update to 3.0 from 2.5 some bug cropped up that caused inefficient performance. With this update it seems they've squashed it because now Reason performs splendidly and can even play the Orkester Demo with ease (whereas before it would actually chop up and max out the CPU).

The demo of version 3 won't allow me to access ANY of my old ReFills.
Does anyone know if this is a limitation of the demo or is it a problem with version 3?
I really don't feel like buying all those libraries again once they are upgraded for version 3 :-(
