Reason to Logic, Cubase or Live?

Post by craste » Sat Aug 22, 2009 1:26 pm

Hello all.

Myself and my mate produce dance music (House) using Reason Version 4 and both of us have been thinking about purchasing Ableton Live, Cubase or even a Mac and a copy of Logic so that we can progress with our productions.

We want to try out some of the fanatastic VST's out there at the moment like the new FXpansion DCAM Synth, Omnisphere, Guru and Battery etc.

Has anybody on here moved from Reason (or rewired it) to Live and how has it been?

I know it could be biased as this is a 'Live' forum but would be interested to hear comments good or bad about Live compared to Reason.

I read Future Music and Computer Music and it seems that most producers tend to use Logic, followed by Live and I know you shouldn't be a sheep and follow the crowd but I guess they use them for a reason.

I've had a little look at Cubase I think it was the SX version and to me it looked over complicated and full of menus.

Look forward to hearing your comments and/or experiences.

it so depends on your taste, workflow, habits, needs, etc. etc.

play around with it and see if it is for you.

...and if your looking at a mac, look at digital performer, it competes with logic and protools quite well but is much more straight forward with some different features and a better learning curve (to me).

rewiring reason to live is something I hate, its just annoying and cumbersome to me, rewiring reason and DP is a breeze to me.

different strokes for different folks and all, but DP rocks hard and rewires with reason and live just perfectly to me.

I really like rewireing reason to live.. Just using the external instrument. Imo it works mutch easier then doing it to cubase or logic.

One time i even rewired reason to live then live to logic :P
