It was back in 2007 when I had my first experience with Reason. It was
version 4.0. I remember I was just so
excited when trying out Reason 6 two days ago as I was when I tried out Reason
4.0 for the first time in 2007. Reason 6 was released on the 30th of
September 2011.
For those who do not know, Reason is a wonderful music recording software
that combines samplers, hardware synthesizers, sequencers, signal processors
and mixers. Reason’s flexibility has always been a point of admiration for me.
Its components can be freely interconnected in a needed manner and you can use
Reason either as a complete virtual studio for recording or as a collection of
virtual instruments which can be used to play and record in other music
recording software.
The first thing I noticed about Reason 6 is that it has grown much
bigger. It has more features: more sounds, more effects, more abilities, more
of almost everything I loved about Reason.
Reason 6 now comes with modeled mixing console, with built-in EQ,
dynamics and advanced routing. I enjoyed it much. It really gives a possibility
to get studio grade quality mixing. I also tried out the “radio ready” master
bus compressor to give my mixing an extra punch.
Puveriser is another new feature offered by Reason 6. I used it to test
how could it put dirty distortion, crunchy compression, flexible modulation and
a multimode filter in a single effect. The result I got was satisfying. I think
this new feature makes Reason 6 even reacher.
The Echo – This new feature is what I loved most of all from Reason 6! In
this playable performance effect the best of modern delays mixes with the
organic sounds of old school tape machines and analog circuitry.
Alligator is another new feature offered by Reason 6. It is extremely
useful for amateur musicians. It can easily turn bland pads into rhythmic
textures, make blockrocking breaks from boring beats and twist loops radically.
It is great both for being easy to use and providing quality results.
Neptune is incredibly interesting new feature from Reason 6.
Unfortunately I have not yet had enough experience with it to thoroughly
evaluate its possibilities, however I like how it can turn the harmonies played
on MIDI keyboard into instant backing vocals. In fact it is a pitch correction
and voice synth tool.
With Reason 6 audio recording has become even easier. This new version of
Reason comes with rock solid audio recording and unlimited hard disk tracks.
Reason 6’s famous feature has always been non-destructive time stretch.
This means that you can record your track at any tempo, then change the tempo
and the track can fit the new tempo without damaging. It was the first feature
I tried out two days ago, I wanted to see whether it has even improved or not.
I found out that mostly it is the same as it has been in the previous version,
but Reason 6 now has non-destructive audio transpose! That is just wonderful!
You can record at first and then change the key whenever you like. It is
incredibly easy!
Reason 6’s Recording Meter lets you tune your guitar.
The Factory Sound Bank of Reason 6 has enlarged by few thousands of new
loops and patches for Reason’s Instruments. It also comes with hundreds of
patches for brand new Alligator, The Echo, and Pulveriser effects.
Reason 6 lets you easily export your songs to another music recording
software. Only one click is needed to move all the separate mixer channels to
individual audio stems of your music recording software. You can either move
the channels with effects or without them.
