Although this may be a piece of reason propaganda I think the proof is in the pudding!

Great music and nice to see how he's using software to be creative in his work. I'm an analogue nut but Reason is definitely my choice in the digital world.

I'm opening a can of worms here but in my opinion Reason sonically knocks the socks off anything I've ever created in abelton/logic/cubase.

I've got to know the software well but when producing in tandem with ProTools you've got a killer combo!

7:35 ; "I dont even know how I did it..." hahaha!

I like that he uses his wife and his own voice for the samples... makes his own label and creates his own style of house! simple organic beats raw sounds and trance waves = absolute perfection

i have mad respect for VonStroke

[danielusica]

Reason certainly fits perfectly to Claude:),no matter what software you use,but what matters most is what imagination and talent you have.:)Claude is a fuckin genius.:)Peace

Thanks man, i got the jist...... now it's application!

@stereodan I agree with you up until a certain point, Protools, urgh! But yeah I just bought a mac with Logic & although you can do loads in Logic, there is something that keeps drawing me back to using reason standalone.

@stereodan reason has warmth for an all-soft based unit... it does. im an avid fl user, logic user as well... but it has something the people at propellerhead have worked tremendous hours to offer the best samples possible to their customers... everything about reason is really nicely done the only thing that reason doesnt have is flexibility and in my opinion, a well-rounded producer on fl studio can end up with better sounds then any reason production if they have good tools and good skills..

You know what stands this guy apart from everyone else whose ever done a video.. this guy never says umm or aaahh or duh inbetween words... like most people whose brain doesnt hook up so good - this guy speaks slowly clearly intelligently. respect.

This man...IS A GOD.

@stereodan He doesn't use reason, look at his studio :) He uses hardware synths, using reason and them together would be a nightmare. Sonically? really? Wow! Sorry i have to disagree, i use ableton and logic, but have most other daws installed through working with people and sonically theres not to much reason can boast over any other software. Its defiantly not enough to overcome its massive weaknesses. IE bad audio routing, no outgoing midi, no vsts, au, rtas plugins.

what i dont get is people ask what the program is when it is in the description, in the title, in the video. cant you work it out???
