Propellerhead just released Reason 7 and Reason Essentials 2, both major updates with deep, streamlined mixing and a complete rack with all types of instruments. Version 7 integrates all instruments--in and out of the box--your hardware synths via the External MIDI Instrument module.
There is now automatic audio slicing/quantize enabling quick fixes or style changes of already recorded audio performances--even conversion of those recordings into your own personal REX loops for further creative possibilities in the rack.
For mixing, Propellerhead adds a spectrum analyzer with visual EQ controls to "see" what your tweaks do to the audio waveform in real-time. I like the one-click group and parallel mix channels feature--it gets you to the world of modern parallel effects and automation.
Reason 7 imports audio in either mp3, AAC, WMA or others and the Factory Sound Bank comes with a fresh collection of loops and drum kits. Audiomatic Retro Transformer adds character to any sound with 16 snapshots going from vinyl and VHS tape to PVC pipe.
Reason 7 sells for $449 and Reason Essentials 2 is $129. For more about it go to: www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/new/.
