Reason is, above all, fun to use. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew R. | Project Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Reason?** Reason is designed to look and feel like hardware. While the skeuomorphic UI may seem 'cute' or even dated, it actually remains one of my favorite things about Reason (which I've been using since v1.0). You can easily see your signal paths and easily route sound and CV from one place to another by dragging wires. It's very intuitive — easy for a n00b to pick up, but powerful enough to be used by professionals (and they do). **What do you dislike about Reason?** The move toward the Reason+ subscription model (which remains optional, fortunately) shook the confidence of the user community. Reason Studios appears to have put a fair amount of push into Players and other widgets to help people generate ideas, perhaps at the expense of core functions like the sequencing and audio editing tools. Any review of comments or user groups on social media will turn up repeated requests for the same features. That said, one of the big complaints for a long while was the lack of VST3 support, but that's finally in Beta and due out soon. The features released often seem to favor electronic music over other genres, even though Reason can be used for any style. **What problems is Reason solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've used Reason for my own personal music projects and remixes, as well as to compose soundtrack and underscore music for local theater productions, podcasts, and corporate videos. It makes it possible for me to produce high-quality music in all genres from my own basement. ### 2.
