Thank you for your reply damann. Say, I've been playing arround with the reason 2.0 demo and am growing to like it. I don't own a midi interface so I can't get the synths to work, but they sound great in the demos. How about the MidiMan USB key stations, namely the oxygen 8? I was happy to see they have 10.2 drivers. Will they work well with Reason on my PowerBook G4 550? Can anyone give me their two cents on these product? Thank's all! This Agora is such a great resource. -W

sounds like my thread!! Ti book 800, OSX 10.2.1, Reason 2.0, Oxygen 8. Runs like a dream. A nice budget set up (if u don't include the Ti book!!). Reason is great. Obviously no multitrack audio, but you can use some trickery to work in vocal etc.. I record live audio using either my Korg Triton or Deck LE 3.5 on the Mac. Then chop it up, & insert it into a Redrum module or two. Synch is hit or miss, but it works well.... Nice running vocals through Reason's effects. Effects aren't much good for mastering, I run all my final mixdowns through IK Multimedia T-racks..... It's the daddy!! Especially for the kind of sounds that Reason produces. Anything specific u want to know about the setup, ask away. BTW...... best Ti book upgrade EVER.... IBM 40GNX 40Gb hard drive.... the speed difference over the standard PB G4 drives is amazing when working with apps such as Reason / Logic etc. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all Ti-based audio freaks!!

Ah, go on then - I'll chuck in my two cents! iBook 600MHz, OS X 10.1.5, Reason 2.0, Oxygen 8 - works fine (and sounds great). The only problem I've had is with USB conflicts, in that occasionally my Oxygen 8 drivers have "disappeared". This tends to happen if I unplug it and turn my Mac off at any time. If I then download the drivers again and reinstall, everything's cool. Odd, but no big deal. Happens with my Edirol interface, too. Just waiting for ReWire implementation now so I can hook up Reason 2.0 with Logic 5.3.0. Looking forward to that!

I'm using Reason 2.0 on my Powerbook G3. I've got a midiman 2x2 USB interface to my Alesis 7.1 controller(via midi cables, of course). Everything works perfect. For the first time, I actually have everything working in harmony. Even my outboard USB diskette drive doesn't fight my USB stuff. Reason is the balls. Every day I'm learning something new that it does. The keyboard sounds are excellent, and I love watching the tone wheels move on the screen when I move them on the controller. Doesn't seem to be much of a latency problem either, but I'll find out when I'm performing with my tight drummer who won't put up with any latency bullshit when I siwtch from "live" to "loop" so I can solo.

Wow! thank's for the info. Just a quick question. Could someone verify that Reason's Rewire interfaces with logic audio 5.3. Is it truly"seemless". Can you still change the parameters on each track from reason while in logic, or did i miss understand the promo material . Basically what I'm looking for is a virtual band. Step by step I want to put Reason 2.0 w/ Logic 5.3 + Oxygen 8 + firewire interface. Hope I'm on the right track I apprciate the help. -W

I don't know why you need any of the other stuff because Reason is my whole band. I hook up the midi, record tracks, play it back with all the istruments. Maybe I'm simplistic, but I think it's got to do with the music, not the technology. It's got a nice loop feature, great drums, editing of the notes, everything I need, but, hey, I'm not Stravinsky either.
