yes, I have been a Reason user since version 2 and I am still on 4 right now. I do like many things about it, but I do agree that it isn't does lack a touch of natural sparkle until you eq the hell out of what you are running out of it.
I know I will get 5 because I like the look of a few things, especially the sampling side of matters.
Still, I rewire to Cubase, so I already have the best of both worlds, as far as I look at it.
Mind you, I have just built a new DAw Pc and seem to be getting a few odd anamolies with the midi ? After Cubase has been in use for a while, the midi data I record in has drifted all over the place and hasn't even recorded in the same way I've played it in ( no quantising is used in general ). Done some checks, but this is odd ... My two sound cards are set up and configured in the usual way ( Have an EMU 1820 and an RME, with a redundant 2496 sitting in the unit also ) . I am generally pretty much software savvy, but this really has me stumped at the moment ??
Give a little more, expect a little less ... but always put number 1 first !
Live life and do your best to make it fit around you in a loving and productive way ....
