What is everyone's thoughts on reason 5?!?! Likes, dislikes?
Best ver. of Reason thus far IMO.
And I found no use for any of the advertised stuff like Kong, Blocks, OctoRex, and Sampling.
this might sound dumb.... but if you dont like those features then why is reason 5 better????????? besides it 24bit now
They should consolidate reason + record + recycle in just 1 program.
Then they should make something that allows you to use VSTi.
And they should give it for free to everybody
a really sucky piece of software.
Kong is a crappy MPC style sucker software like BPM or other shitties.
Live recording is hella useless
Dr Octorex was better when was just Dr Rex
SUCKA!
They should consolidate reason + record + recycle in just 1 program.

put the vaporizer down...
please!!!
8. Self Contained Songs.
1. BETTER FACTORY SOUNDS - Just a few additions of sounds and it's a full sound bank for producers now. While I don't use kong, I do load the Kong libraries into Redrum and would honestly say I wouldn't have most of the refills and drum libraries I have today if Reason sounded like this from day 1.
2. 24bit mixing environment - Alot more manageable mixes, you can push alot of stuff that used to sound harsh to way further limits. Better sounding FX and patches. I can now get a better quality out of a template for production in Reason than I can out of ANY other program.
3. Loads quick as hell(could just be my comp, but I think they added disk streaming of some sort.
4. Tap Tempo for the times I want to 1 button sample inside Reason rather than time stretching to a tempo in Pro Tools to add the chopped loop to the NNXT. It's more like sampling with traditional gear(don't use it often, but still good to have).
5. Improvements to the GUI(cosmetic, but I like it), new sequencer scroller to make it easier to pinpoint parts of your song. New meters that make it easier to read than having to look at "reds, yellows, and greens".
6. Velocity controlled QWERTY keyboard. Perfect for turning my Mac Keys into velocity controlled drumpads.
7. New functions in the Dr. Octorex(even though I never use it for multichannels)there are good improvements that even if incorporated into the regular Dr. Rex would have been cool.
8. Self Contained Songs. To hell with "tracking out". I can now send someone an entire Reason 5 session with all my sounds packed in it so they can reopen it as a lossless file even if they don't have the sounds I have. Amazing tool for production teams, makes it easier for me to mix beats for producers who use Reason, and once exclusive rights are sold to an artist, they have the session to do as they wish with. This also cancels any wants of vsti support, because being able to do this is worth the sacrifice. With vstis it would be no more useful than saving a .rar file from FL or song files from Logic.
