greetings,

I'm looking for a comprehensive set of soft synths and drum machines running on os x that will likely be compatible with what ever platform I eventualy decide to invest in (logic 5.3, cubase sx, digital performer) I have limited experience working with midi and am wondering if Reason 2.0 with a midiman usb keyboard would be a good way to go.

Thanks all,

W

Twelve - I've actually got Reason 2.0 and Live (as well as an Oxygen 8) and you know, I've never actually tried recording that way. How stupid am I? I've been using them separately for specific tasks, but the idea of Rewiring Reason's output and then recording audio in Live alongside it sounds like a good one to me.

I listened to the song Canoe on your website - nice vibe. What software was doing what on that track? Just interested to know.

As to Sandfordmay's original question, I think everyone has covered the topic so far. Reason 2.0 is excellent for rhythms and synth sounds, then you can use the samplers to add other sounds (there's a massive orchestral sample CD included, if you want anything from a trombone to a string section). Synthetic got it right when he said it's a great program, but you will soon find yourself wanting other software to complement it. Personally, I'm waiting for emagic to sort out the Rewire issues in Logic 5.3.0. Then I'll be a happy bunny.
