Using Reason and Real Instruments - The Best of Both Worlds

My friend and I have been using Reason for years now. We both started out rapping and making beats and things like that, and Reason worked out just great.

Later on I got a little bored with what we were doing and I wanted to see how Reason would handle if I brought out my real musical talents on Guitars.

It was still amazing and the way the synthesized sounds meshed with the real instrument was awesome. We actually ended up selling a dozen or so of our sample CD.

Reason had everything we needed to record the way we wanted to.

My favorite aspect is the enormous amount of samples and controls that you have. And it pretty much handles like an actual rack, but takes up so much less space being that it is virtual.
