Welcome to first newsletter of 2010. We hope this finds you rested after the holiday season, and not too troubled by the cold temperatures that seem to have taken an icy grip on large parts of the planet. First off - an important message. 
The survivors of the Haiti earthquake need all the support they can get. Propellerhead Software has made a donation to the Red Cross Haiti relief and we urge you to do the same. You can donate directly to the Red Cross (International | Swedish), or by adding a Haiti disaster relief donation to your next order from the Propellerhead web shop (available on checkout). All donations received will go directly to the international Red Cross / Red Cresent Haiti aid effort. We thank you for your support. In this issue:
Super Adventure Club is Michael Winger and Jake Wood, and they want to rock your world with drums, bass and a couple of laptops. Winger has recorded and engineered for big names like Kronos Quartet and Feist. Wood is a freelance drummer and teacher. The duo plays Reason via ReWire to achieve a wide palette of tones, while playing drums, bass and singing at the same time! They'll be showing us how they use Reason in their multi tasking live performances.
Gary Bromham addresses the subject of selecting the best mic for the job, and then how to use it to best effect in Record. And he should know - he's worked with Björk, George Michael, Sheryl Crowe, and Graham Coxon.
In this, the latest in the series, we're looking at two different ways to hook up sidechain compression using the Record mixer dynamics section and the M-Class compressor to create some sidechained pumping pads.
Just in case you missed it, as of January 1st 2010, Reason is now even more affordable. With a new and lower price for Reason, the Record Reason Duo, and the Reason Premium Edition Bundle, this might be just the deal you have been waiting for! Contact your reseller or visit the PropShop for our new pricing!
There's also good news for Reason Adapted owners wanting to upgrade to Reason together with Record; you can now find
the Reason + Record upgrade for Reason Adapted owners in the PropShop.
