Review - Propellerhead Reason 7

Those of you who dabble in home music production will no doubt be familiar with Propellerhead’s Reason platform. An entirely self-contained digital production studio, it’s been around since December 2000, and it’s managed to gain a huge amount of support from the electronic music production world – even if it did take a little time to become accepted as a “serious” piece of kit.

The beauty of Reason has always been the fact that it comes with everything you need included. Unlike other solutions, you don’t need to run out and buy an assortment of VST instruments to expand your sonic arsenal, rather you can rely on the in-built suite of synths, drum machines, effects units, mixers and utilities. However, with Reason 7, things have changed a little.
