Flexible music production software in standalone or plug-in mode
Propellerhead's music production software Reason is now in its eleventh round and once again delivers workflow improvements as well as new virtual instruments/synths and effects. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced user, the extensive collection of sounds, intuitive workflow, and incredibly varied editing options will impress and surprise you time and time again, taking your productions to the next level. The presets and interface alone provide inspiration at every turn, but once you switch to the rear view of the virtual rack, you'll quickly find yourself in modular heaven.
Note: This version in particular is an upgrade from Intro, Limited or Essential versions. (Not from the Lite version)
What's new?
Reason's Rack delivers tons of legendary synths, instruments and effects that you can easily integrate into your projects. What makes version 11 so special is its compatibility with other DAWs. Reason 11 can be used as a standalone application for recording instruments and MIDI data, or as a plug-in version in the music production software of your choice. This gives you full control over hundreds of sounds and features without the need to get used to a new DAW.
New Effects
Quartet Chorus Ensemble: This virtual effects unit runs four different chorus and ensemble effects, ranging from classic vintage chorus to granular ensemble.
Sweeper Modulation Effect: This is a true multi-talent that combines phaser, flanger and filter with dynamic modulation capabilities.
Mixing Console Modules are now available as Rack Devices
Master Bus Compressor: Reason's "ready-for-radio" compressor can now be integrated anywhere in the rack!
Channel Dynamics: Whether it's a compressor, expander or gate, you can now use Reason's Console wherever it's needed.
Channel EQ: the legendary EQ unit heard on various Platinum Recordings now becomes its own rack device.
General improvement for an even faster and easier workflow
Curved Automation: automation curves now look even smoother and can be used more selectively
Audio Clip Crossfades - adjacent audio clips can now be crossfaded to quickly avoid unnecessary clipping during playback
Improved and individual vertical zoom
Mute MIDI notes - mute individual midi notes to add variation to recordings and try things out without having to immediately change the position or delete the note itself.
New "Pen Tool" - write multiple notes in your regions in real time. This is especially useful for drum programming.
Played and selected notes can now be displayed in Key Edit
Additional workflow improvements: Absolute Snap function, drawing automation points at the same volume, shortcut for MIDI note shifts of one octave.
