Well I use a Midiman Keystation 61 and Reason 2.0 on OS X and works like a dream... I use an iMac DV, probably one of the least powerful macs out there, but still works fine.
To link to a sequencer I would definitely recommend you to wait for Cubase SX, and link via ReWire: in OS X. (I have tried this in PC and works great)
If you're hung up on OS 9, use Reason 2.0 and link to ProTools (even the FREE version will do) via ReFuse... This will allow to do a good job at recording vocals or other instruments.
In OS 9 you can link via ReWire to Cubase 5.xx

QUOTE (Synthetic @ Sep 26 2002, 20:42) I was thinking about getting Reason 2 so I would have the new synth and sampler to use from within Logic but after my rep told me that... i opted to just get the ESX24 sampler for Logic instead. Less features but still love it. Hey synthetic, Does the ESX24 compare to Reason 2. I didn't get a whole lot of info needless to say a demo from Emagic. You said it had less features. What can and can't you do with it? Does it run in OS X? Thanks, Wonx

I'm strictly an amateur, trying to create a small hobbyist's music workstation around a Quicksilver G4 on OSX.2.1. For reasons of economy, I am planning on Reason 2.0 and the Oxygen 8 midi controller from midiman.
What does the lack of multitrack recording in Reason 2.0 mean? From what I've read, it means I'll have trouble with things like recording full-blown vocal tracks. What if I just want to use a few vocal samples? I assume I will be able to record my songs, as in demo version there is a save song as audio option. But what if I should later add Deck LE or another multitrack recorder to this workstation? Will I be able to do multitrack work. For example, could I export song as audio and then use that audio file as a single track in a multitrack recorder while adding other tracks in the multitrack software?

It dawns on me that things like a horn solo or whatnot would have to be added in the same way: by exporting the solo as a song to audio and then importing into a multitrack recorder like Deck LE. Correct?

Don't underestimate the power of both the NN-19 samplers in Reason. I just finished a remix using nothing but 2.0 just to see how it would come out. All vocals and instruments were edited in Peak and then imported into the NN-19 and NN-19xt. Worked like a charm - kinda like the old days when I didn't have digital audio and had to use hardware samplers. Now if Propellerheads will give us a an osX version of Recycle I'll be really over the top...
The dust on my studio just keeps getting thicker...

Well importing samples via sound files into the NN XT is quite crafty, but I do think it is easier to limit the function of Reason and use another app to record tracks from an external source... Deck LE will do just fine, and it allows you to use VST plugs.
I have used to record my bass for use with reason sequences, works just fine...
