Ok- I understand that the main uses of each program is different, and that there are some (if not many) things that each can and cannot do that the other can, but I was wondering about the "sound creating abilities" of both as a whole.
I don't yet own either program, but was wondering if the synths and plugins in the upcoming Logic 6 PRO version are of any comparison or competition to that which Reason offers. Basically- could I simply buy Logic PRO and accomplish the same things on it's collection of synths, etc. without ever making anything in Reason.
I know it's commonplace to make sounds in Reason and import them to other "more professional" sequencers- but in terms of quality and so as to not waste money on redundant "equipment" purchases- is Reason still the way to go when creating sounds- or is Logic PRO's collection enough of an "arsenal"?

By the way- in case it matter at all- I'm definitely ordering Logic, but don't know if I need Reason for anything- and also what music I'm inspired by most, and might be most similar to in "feel" is music in the same vein as Nine Inch Nails, Prick, VAST, Tricky, Bjork, A Perfect Circle, Radiohead, etc.
Also- I'm more interested in guitars than "blips and bleeps" and making odd, previously unheard or unfamiliar sounds, and throwing them all together to get your head nodding.
Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Corey

Thatant,
Thanks for the reply. My experience is close to none. I've been playing around with some drummachines, keyboards, synths and sequencers for about a year now- either in software or hardware form. I've played around with and made some pretty limited songs with some loops that I modified as much as I could so they no longer sounded like a loop.
I'm definitely just a beginner at all of this- but I have ideas and songs in my head that the equipment I've been "playing around with" just can't support. I need something more serious that I can "grow into" as I learn, and that will still be around for me when I'm more able and knowledgeable, and I seem to have found that in Logic- ESPECIALLY since Apple has now dedicated it to the Mac platform.
I've read many many times that the learning curve for Logic is steep- but at the moment, I've got a lot of time on my hands, and a very strong desire to learn. plus- what's the point of doing ANYTHING if it isn't in some form or another a challenge? hehe I know- I'm going to be "in over myhead" - but I'm really looking forward to the learning experience.
The only gripe I'm going to have about Logic is... NO RIGHT-CLICK... that might slow me down a bit, at first.. but oh well. Adapt or die off, I guess.
Alright- I've decided to not bother buying Reason... atleast for now. But I might at some later date. I suppose Logic will offer enough for me to work with for a while.
Thanks. I'm sure I'll be stopping in here with questions and letting you guys know what's up with my "Logic experience" as I go.
I appreciate the input.
