Using it here with Nuendo via rewire - works great. There are other synths
and effects that sound better than comparable components in Reason, but for
putting together electronica, dance, and even pop or rap rhythm tracks it's
a cool app. It's also a great app to use for some composing work on the
road on a laptop as it's cpu friendly - you can get a lot of tracks/sounds
going pretty easily for sketching out ideas.
Combinator patches are a bit more applicable for standalone synth use since
you can layer/combine synths and effects to create broader and more dynamic
sounds.
For the money, it's a lot of fun, and can be quite useful. I believe the
track for the show Alias was composed on a laptop with Reason, FWIW.
I'm doing some tracks in it, but remixing in Nuendo for better reverbs, EQ,
etc.

HI Dedric,
You dead on in your description.
Do you notice that it sound better when rewired thru Nuendo?

Hi Chris,
No significant difference when rewired that I've noticed (although I haven't
A/B'd mixes to be sure) - the main differences are using better reverbs,
etc. It doesn't sound bad on its' own, but it does sound better remixed
elsewhere with better fx plugins. I think an earlier version sounded pretty
lame in general due to a limited mix engine, but that seems to be better
now.
Reason synths and effects just aren't designed to be monster emulations, but
rather a compromise between sound and cpu efficiency. That is where I think
Reason shines - you get a lot of sound and creativity capability for a
modest cpu hit - it seems to be a rather efficiently coded app.
Regards,
Dedric
PS: I wrote a review of it for Audiomidi.com if anyone is interested in a
little more info, at least from my perspective (assuming I actually know
what I'm talking about, which is always open for debate ;-).
