Sorry you're wrong there. Read the manual and you'll se just what to do. It's just a different process than the usual ones. But the main target for a program like Record are people who don't like the same old working process as every DAW uses. It's mainly a musicians tool.
The fact that it's sounds so good and is so much fun to work with, that’s just a side effect. Those who base their idea on what it sounds like by drawing parallels to Reason are wrong. Mostly because if you can't make Reason (not Record) sound good then it's your own fault. If it's good enough for will i. am and Richard Barbieri (ex Japan) then it's plainly good enough.
Interesting thing in this whole discussion is that George Massenburg recently said (in a Swedish musicians magazine) that if you can't make a mix sound as good in the box as with outboard gear then it's your fault. He wasn't saying that you shouldn't use consoles or whatever. If you enjoy to work like that, then do it. But he said you don't get a better sound with outboard gear. I actually thinks he knows more than most people here. More than me, that's for sure.
So what’s going on here is not a debate about the program Record. It's the same old "Duke Ellington that’s just jungle noise", upset parent 1930. "Elvis that's not proper music. It's disgusting" , upset parent 1956. "Beatles that’s just for boys who need a haircut" upset parent 1964. "Hip hop that's just talk and drums. That's not music" upset parent 1984-2009. But the hit-charts always said something different.
Continuing this thought, I saw a TV-show with Elvis Costello the other day where The Police guest appeared. It was from 2008 I guess. Those guys where excellent musicians all three, and still they where smart enough in 1977 to see what Punk and New Wave was really about. 2-3 minute songs with power and attitude. And they took all their skills into that instead of continuing in prog and jazzbands. (I was a punk rocker myself, so they were sort of a guilty pleasure for me at the time (and I was only13 when I made my first record)) They didn’t hold back on their skills they used it for pop instead of doing something people cared less and less about.
Few years later I played in a band where we had a Prophet five. I love that synth. I love to play with the nobs. It does not sound better than reason though. I’ve recorded with large Neve consoles (not that often though to be honest). Love those nobs aswell. But Record that’s development and an equalizer. It makes as with less means more equal. Now all I need is for someone to create the virtual studio room. With all the acoustics. I’ll always love real nobs and rooms, but I’m more interested in the future (still at the age 45)
I think it would be nice to actually talk abut a new program and not being told by some conservatives that I'm wrong. So those of you who thinks the world is going to hell and there is something wrong with the kids today. I’ve heard all you have to say before and yes I will hear it again.

Dyslektik and awful grammar as usual.
