i just DLd the beta.. and it was cool..
its interface is simple and almost exactly like reason except for more routing options and that Line 6 AMP is REALLY good.. much better than my ampeg imo..
sequencer is pretty much same.. routing is still simple and easy.. i like the mixer, i can't tell if it sounds really good because i couldnt load my song files but i think its solid..
its something is expected from reason 5.. it adds a audio and a couple of new patches and the Line 6 Amp that im really feeling.. when i get home from work, i am going to play with it more.. for me.. i make most of my beats in reason so it isnt a hassle that there is no VST support.. it would be nice though.. i have some plugs that i really like to use but i'll guess i'll rewire record into ableton whenever i mix down beats/songs..
^5 I co-sign what you said. Record is like having Protools at it's finger tips! I have never ever worried about midi out on Reason so why should I worry on Record? Listen, Record is real real nice, that SSL board on it makes it even nicer. It doesn't take up CPU power, and it's crazy. With all the Reason refills out there who needs out board gear? I mean come on. Oh plus, being it can instruments and record them inside of it, I am going to take my Roland 3080, and my Triton Rack and attach it to my 002Rack and use them just like a guitar would get used. I don't and never did rely on midi I play well enuff on time so I don't need it. Did you use the Time Stretch on that bad boy? I am still googoo gaagaa for that thing, it's just what it is, it just works like it suppose to. You lose no artifacts or nothing, I love that thing, I am loving Propel for that. The sound quality is a little better than Reason and to make it better you have the SSL board and you can get the warm and fattness you always wanted. Plus this, I never used rewire, NEVER! when I transfer to protools I bounce my tracks over to a folder WITHIN SECONDS! If I bounce a stereo 2track it's within 5 seconds, who don't want that? Plus whatever you did in Reason or Record is how it's going to come out when you bounce, and if you need to go back you just go back and do what you need and do it again easy! It's way better than me tracking from my MPC into Protools. I am going to do a Video on it soon. I just did two new videos on my myspace page.
Being I have 12 gigs of ram inside my Mac my Record is going to be blazing fast. Now all the sounds I have in my Triton and Roland 3080 I can put into Record and add on sounds with what I made in Reason.
Line 6 amp is crazy !!!
What cats are not getting is you can add vocals and they will come up as wave audio in Record and IT DOESN'T TAX THE HELL OUTTA YOUR CPU! Try that with Protools especially for those that have weak computers! Then you can sweeten your vocals with the SSL and put compression on them, add air if you want,......... man it's just to sick to even think about it lol hahahahahahaa I am going into a seizure just thinking about the possibilities lol I am on the count down I haven't slept comfortable for days on end lol It's like Christmas X's 8 lol hahaha
Dudes are not understanding the sonic quality of this item, it's not a flimsy toy. The fact now that you will see Audio wave form is great, it's like Reason has it's on Protools! I loved the editing in Reason so I love this even better. Let me get a lil deeper into this. People talk about needing midi out ok lets get into it.
I don't need it, for the fact of having:
1. Motif es refill THE WHOLE KEYBOARD FROM HARDWARE! $10
2. Motif xs refill THE WHOLE KEYBOARD FROM HARDWARE! $ 40
3. Roland 5080 refill THE WHOLE KEYBOARD FROM HARDWARE! $20
3. EMU Mo Phat refill THE WHOLE KEYBOARD FROM HARDWARE! $10
6. Acces Virus refill THE WHOLE KEYBOARD FROM HARDWARE! $40
7. Korg Triton refill THE WHOLE KEYBOARD FROM HARDWARE! $10
8. Fantom refill THE WHOLE KEYBOARD FROM HARDWARE! $10
9. AND 75 MORE REFILLS THAT SOME OF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT! THIS EXCLUDES THE FACTORY AND OKESTRAL REFILLS THAT COME WITH REASON! The 70 OF THE 75 REFILLS WERE FREE!
I spent only $140 Dollars for WHOLE KEYBOARDS THAT COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN HARDWARE! And if I need MORE sounds on that specific track, I can bounce to Protools where I have,
1.Philharmonik
2.Sonic Synth
3.Sylenth
4.Omnisphere
5.RMX
6.Velvet
7.Mini Moog V by Arturia
8.Expand
9.Hybrid
10.Sample Tank
11.Sample Moog
12.Storm Drum
13.Symphonic Choirs
14.Goliath
Do I really need to keep going? I mean dammmm for people to believe you don't need Midi out ?
THINK SOME OF YOU!
FOR THOSE THAT DON'T BELIEVE!
I EVEN PUT DA N.O.C. MY NAME THERE!
Now how in the world and why in the world do I really need to have MIDI OUT TO BRING IN MORE SOUNDS? Someone has to come with a logic answer! Only thing is TIME in downloading these refills and they have A TON of Refills everywhere on the market! They dont' need that Midi out thing that will complicate things, I am sure they will get it right though. But I mean I want someone to, I dare them to try and logicize the fact that we really need that midi out when you have so many freakin sounds in the refills and it doesn't take up space!
I am adding my 3080 and hardware Triton just because I WANT TO AND CAN, BUT DON'T REALLY HAVE TO! Oh before any one goes on a tirade yes the quality of the refills is all that and sound just like the dang on hardware, because all they did was mimic from those keyboards into a refill. If you don't know how mimicing works maybe one need to leave the music game.
Get this, I HAVEN'T FINISH LOADING MORE FREE REFILLS! lol There are so many I just get them at random when I feel like it. If I had the Motif XS refill alone I could kill it, that's a whole keyboard and the strings sound just like the real keyboard. If I can't make songs with that then I need to leave the game! Moral of the story is :
"THEY HAVE TONS AND TONS OF REFILLS NO NEED FOR MIDI OUT!"
