    I tried it once. I really like the fact that you can virtually switch the cables/signal flow. However, I hate how it doesn't have recording :( I'd recommend better quality hardware using audacity even. I'm no expert though

    Reason 6 which is planned for release soon will add recording to Reason

    I've once played around with this software and must say its the best I've ever seen in its kind! Instead of buying new hardware for my studio this is now on top of my list!

Dr.REX in a Combi
Many Reason-users are wondering how to trigger a Dr.REX device from within the Combinator-device in Reason. Well, the answer is probably easier than you might think ;)
MONO check for Reason
A free MONO-check Combinator. It can be a quick reference check on mono compatibility within Reason.
Keep the dynamics alive!
During patching for Reason 3, last year, I noticed that when I programmed a patch with full velocity, most other sound designers would tell me to use less velocity. Why is that?
Basic knowledge about the Subtractor
As you might know, the Subtractor is a member of the analog(type) polyphonic synths, using subtractive synthesis.
