Listen to Reason
So just does Reason sound like? Like anything you want it to sound like. Reason is a massive rack inside your computer, filled with equipment and features to help you turn those ideas into tracks. To help you on the way, Reason comes with a huge selection of sounds.
The Factory Sound Bank
Reason's Factory Sound Bank is a gigantic library that gives you instant access to thousands of ready to use sounds - anything from live-sounding multisampled instrument for Reason's NN-XT sampler, to multilayered synth soundscapes for Reason's Combinator device.
In total, the Factory Sound Bank is made up of more than 2900 instrument patches and 900 REX loops. Add a few hundred effect patches and countless samples and you have a pretty powerful array of sounds to choose from.
Demo tracks
It may seem a little pointless showing what Reason sounds like, since it can sound pretty much like whatever you want, but to showcase Reason being put to good use in various genres, we give you the Reason version 4 demo tracks:
Orkester - the orchestral library
The Orkester library ships on the same DVD as Reason and its factory sound bank. Recorded in prestigious Atlantic Studios in Stockholm, these sample patches feature pristine instruments played by classically trained musicians, captured with a top-notch mix of moderns and vintage audio gear.
These slick samples will sound magical on everything from your epic pop ballad to your next film score, and fit like a glove on your Hip Hop and R'n'B. The Orkester Sound Library spans from single woodwinds to complete string sections, and covers all essential playing styles. Add some percussion and tremolo strings to that and you have a library that will last you a lifetime.
