Anybody using Reason along with the MPC? I took a listen to the new Jagged Edge album (titled, "Hard") which has tracks done totally on Reason as well tracks created only using hardware. I definitely can hear differences in the timbre, especially in the "fullness" of the drum sounds.

It seems that drums from the MPC "knock" much better than Reason's. However Reasons synth sounds & modules are not to be underestimated.
I think using both would be great if you can get your hands on them. Any responses are welcome. Thanks.

I've been programming a lot of MPC/Reason tracks lately, and occasionally mixing in my other gear too. Sometimes I get carried away with adding too much and need to bring myself back though, especially with the infinite rackspace haha.

It's real tight how you can work it, I've also come up with a few ringtones using Reason as a testbed and then adding program change messages to the beginning of the MPC sequence so the sounds will be close enough to what I want on the phone. Reason is great for it's speed and the effortlessness of creating nice beats for tweaking later.
