"BUY IT NOW"

Feature:
TONS of effects, tons of soft snynths, an awesome drum machine, an arpegiator. Anything you can think of

Value:
Sure its expensive, but for what your getting it is WELL worth it.

Desirability:
It looks great too!

Sound:
I'm writing this review after about 2 months of use. There are an infinite number of sounds you can make with this.There are plenty of "standard" synth sounds, and you can tweak each one indefinitely.

Ease of Use:
Takes about a week at most to figure most things out. Its a bit overwhelming at first, but its really easy to grasp everything after some experimenting, and read the getting started manual!

Support:
Any questions I had I could find located on their website.

Overall:
I expect to use this program throughout my entire musical career. The possibilities with this are endless. I could not be happier with this purchase

"The rason to buy Reason 4"

Feature:
Tons of features. A bunch of synths plus that new Thor which kicks major a@@! The fx are incredible too.

Quality:
Quality is great. I mean, unless your computer blows up the quality should be unchanged.

Value:
Yes Yes YES! Great buy for the money! Its not the cheapest, but its worth it for what it has.

Desirability:
O, its sexy!

Sound:
The sounds in this thing are bloody incredible! Not only that but there are so many synths to choose from the possibilities are endless, literally. Each synth has tons of sounds and the quality of them are spectacular - not to mention you can tweak them and make them your own.

Ease of Use:
I own Ableton and Cubase as well, and although Reason doesnt accept VST, this is BY FAR the easiest program to use. I learned it in a week. It is so incredibly easy its shocking. Thats probably the reason i still use it over cubase and ableton.

Support:
I havent needed customer service yet, but the 'Help' feature is great. Not to mention the website which helps out a lot on certain questions.

Overall:
Reason 3 was bada@@, now Reason 4 is even more awesome! Even tho it sucks that Reason still hasnt incorporated VST acceptance, this program is still awesome!

Propellerhead Reason 4.0: The ultimate software music production super-system.

For all-around access to pro-quality sampling, flexible synthesis, intuitive sequencing, and killer effects processing, nothing works quite like Reason! Create complex compositions in any musical style without putting a strain on your computer resources. With new Reason 4.0, making music is more fun than ever!

What's New in 4.0?

New modules make Reason 4.0 strong, swift, and smooth for an unprecedented level of user control. The sequencer has been completely redesigned, with sophisticated features and a whole new look and feel. The groove-based mixer can change the character of individual tracks or entire projects, and the new polysonic synth is completely customizable. Streamlined workflow is an understatement!

ReGroove Mixer

For musicians looking to add some personality to their tracks, ReGroove is the answer. You can fine-tune the timing of up to 32 musical elements of your composition, non-destructively and in real-time. ReGroove goes way beyond a basic shuffle/swing control, though. You can pre-quantize tracks on-the-fly, set a start point to leave the intro unaffected, and apply a global shuffle to all Reason modules for a consistent feel throughout the project. Put all your tracks in the pocket!

Thor Polysonic Synthesizer

Take this new module for a spin and you'll see it's the most flexible synth you've ever used! Six open slots hold your choice of 6 oscillators and 4 unique filters to create sounds never before imagined! The modulation matrix lets you control any element in the module with any other element for total customization. The step-sequencer plays melodies, triggers phrases, and creates intense arpeggios. Endless possibilities!

Home-studio producers, professional DJ's, and music hobbyists will all appreciate the flexible, intuitive tools Reason 4.0 brings to their music. Veteran users will love the new features, and beginners will be able to jump right in. Mac and PC compatible.
