Virtual studio rack
At the heart of Reason is a virtual rack where you craft the sounds your music needs, from scratch or from Reason’s huge library of sounds. Synthesizers, instruments and effects –as many as you need. Reason covers every need from synthetic and electronic to acoustic and organic.
Add an instrument into the rack and start playing in seconds. Add an effect under it and the components of your rack are automatically connected and routed for you. If you want to shape your own sound, you can dive deeper into Reason’s Combinator and save your own creations. You can even customise the look of your devices choosing which knobs to display and where.
Reason’s rack easily turns into a modular if you just flip it: you can control and change all the routings and customise them.
Reason as a plugin
If you already have a DAW, Reason works as a plugin in VST3, AU and AAX format. You can use the virtual rack on its own or combine it with other plugins to achieve a real music production powerhouse.
Reason Players also allows you to add effects to MIDI notes or generate melodies, drum patterns and chords. You can set it up on any instrument plugin you own and exponentially expand its potential!
Finally, Reason can be an amazing tool to give your mix the final polish. The Channel EQ, Channel Dynamics and Master Bus Compressor have been modeled on the SSL 9000k to faithfully recreate that studio sound.
