Best Reason/Rewire combo(cubase, sonar, logic, etc.)

**Phase** · 07-04-2003

In your opinion, what is the best combination to use with Reason from the present audio producing software using rewire?? (cubase, sonar, logic, etc.) I just got Reason 2.5, but If I want to use any plugins, it looks like this will be a neccessity. Wondering what others thought . Maybe this has been asked already. Responses appreciated

The most powerful combo is Reason and Logic, due to the advanced midi features in Logic via it's environment. However, learning what it takes to make use of what makes Logic most powerful is quite a steep hill.

The quickest / easiest / pretty darn powerful is Ableton Live 2. Fantastic app, really adds to Reason by giving you nice effects and the ability to work with and timestretch audio clips along with what you're doing in Reason. It can also record from external sources.

Derrick Carter uses Ableton and Cubase via ReWire into Reason.

thats a wicked combo.

Rason and Sonar work beautifully together for me. I have never had any problems and love the functionality of Sonar. But for your info, Sonar uses DirectX plug-ins and synths and requires a VST/DX wrapper to use VST plug-ins which costs a little more although there may be a good free wrapper somewhere. That would be the only limitation to the Sonar/Reason combo.

does Cubase VST work with ReWire/Reason??

**THM** · 07-07-2003

Yes it does. (I suppose you mean Cubase VST 5.x ?)

Watch out; Cubasis is a kind of "light" version of Cubase; you should have a look on the Steinberg pages to see if Cubasis supports ReWire ; www.steinberg.net - good luck !!
