Reason Essentials
The perfect way into music making. Reason Essentials packs in all the recording, editing, effects, instruments, and mixing tools you need to sound great.
Reason Essentials, just like its bigger brother Reason, puts making music in focus. From concept to completion, it has all the essential tools for turning good ideas into great songs.
Reason Essentials comes with a selection of Reason's instruments and effects in a virtual rack, a streamlined version of its masterfully modeled mixer, and all the recording and sequencing tools you'll need. For guitar players, the built-in virtual guitar and bass PODs from Line 6 bring a wide range of top quality guitar amps, cabinets, and effects.
With its generous sound bank and familiar creative flow, Reason Essentials is the software that lets you focus on the music and finish that song. And when you need more, upgrade to the full Reason for more instruments, effects, mixing tools, and sounds.
Create
Recording music is all about seizing the moment. Capturing a perfect performance – or even nailing that idea before it goes away – requires tools that are ready when you are. Reason Essentials is always ready.
Arrange
To help you arrange your tracks in a smooth, effortless way, Reason Essentials comes with a fast and flexible sequencer. Immediate and intuitive, Reason Essentials’ sequencer puts you in control of your arrangements, letting you move and edit parts as you go along.
Mix
Reason Essentials’ masterfully modeled mixing console gives you flexible routing, a built-in two-band EQ on every channel, advanced effects handling, full automation, and that radio-ready master bus compressor gives you a big studio sound.
