Reason 5 Power!: The Comprehensive Guide

Discover the tools you need to get the most out of Reason 5, the latest version of Propellerhead's powerful loop-based music composition application. REASON 5 POWER! is designed to be a comprehensive resource containing in-depth tutorials and valuable insights and tips, in an effort to create a tool that both teaches the program itself and helps readers to make better music. Beginning with an overview of the basics of computer music and essential studio requirements, the book moves on to putting the application to use in creating a song. No tool or synth is overlooked, with coverage of the Sequencer, reMix, Redrum, Subtractor, Malstrom, Thor, NN-19 and NN-XT, the Matrix, RPG-8, the Combinator, the MClass mastering suite, and much, much more. The end result will be Reason power-users, ready to synchronize with other music-making programs, use automation, and mix and publish creations to CD or to the Web.
