Reason, the reason (no pun intended) most of us electronic music producers can get anything done, is about to enter its next phase. Version 4 of the program is set to hit the streets, as usual, "when it's ready." This is what I love about Propellerhead Software, the company that makes Reason and ReCycle. They don't do anything half-assed. They consistently put out the most stable piece of software I've ever worked with, audio or otherwise.
I'd been haunting the site for a few weeks when the beta tester signal appeared. The company was ready for public beta testers at least a few weeks ago, and I've been privileged to be on their list for the last few days.
While I can't talk about my beta testing experience, I can tell you that before I started, I was very excited about some of the new features in Reason 4. These include the totally rebuilt sequencer that allows changing time signatures and tempos, as well as the new ReGroove mixer and the arpeggiator. I've used it for only a few hours, but I can't tell you how it's going.
I can tell you about how excited I am to fork out my $129 USD to upgrade from version 3 to 4. I see the promised features in version 4 as an even bigger improvement than version 3. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a huge proponent of Propellerheads, but if I was 100% ready to upgrade to version 3, I'm 10,000% ready to upgrade to version 4.
