Put the flow back in workflow
Reason has always been about inspiring workflow. More like a musical instrument than a spreadsheet, Less thinking about software and more happy experimentation. Reason 8 further strengthens this.
The radical redesign of Reason’s user-interface means you can work even faster and with even fewer obstacles to break your flow. The new browser is always there, with access to your full library of songs, sounds, samples and instruments all the time.
Drag and drop everything, everywhere
Drag and drop is now available throughout the Reason rack. Create instruments by dragging a synth patch to the sequencer, drag samples directly to pads in Kong or create effects by dragging effect patches to the rack.
New sounds
Get great guitar or bass tones with the new amp and speaker models from Softube. The two devices come with first class modeling of classic amplifiers and cabinets combined with a selection of great-sounding presets that will help you find the tone you are after.
Many small improvements
They say the devil is in the details, and Reason 8 packs a slew of small improvements to the workflow:
- Double-click to add notes and double-click notes to delete them.
- Tracks are named after the patch you load and the name is the same across all views (Sequencer, Rack, Mixer).
- Nested Create menu makes finding your devices and Rack Extensions easier
