Dear all,
This is my first ever post so please be gentle with me  I've been making music with synths (going through amps; recorded onto tape!) for a few years now, but I'm now taking my first tentative steps into the world of computers. I'm planning to buy a new 2Gig MacBook (£130 extra for colour black - why??!!) and Reason 3.0 to get me kicked off. I'll be using my trusty Microkorg as a MIDI controller. My question is this: has anyone got any opinions on my selection? Will this initial setup (plus monitors etc.) be enough to get me making tunes straight out of the box? Your help and advice is gratefully received

Reason is just a big synth module it doesn't record audio, so if you want vocals or add any non-internal sounds it's not the app.
Play around with Garage Band for a while, you will probably conclude that you don't need Reason. The Garage Band Instruments are based on the instruments contained in Logic Pro, and in my opinion Reason's instruments sounds thin when compared side by side. For serious work I'd look at Logic or Digital Performer.
