Thanks,
Im a Reason 4 fanatic as well. I use Audtion 3.0 alongside of it and its great.

Having an all-in-one workflow would be even better. Theres a high degree of "follow the idiot" in what we all do. Meaning, theres alot of people who use certain DAW's, etc, because some other guy is using it. With a bit of advertising, Propellerhead could make Record the DAW it should be.
And Propellerhead makes solid, reliable, low-CPU intensive software. Reason is so well coded, you can have multiple Reason sessions open, not that you'd want to other that to transfer some modules or tracks between songs/projects, but your CPU will hardly fidget ~ Its like a 10 ton program thats running that your CPU hardly knows is there. As far as software coding goes, ive been extremely impressed with Propellerhead and Reason.

So Records quality is certainly there. Reason has suffered a hit, of sorts, in its reputation early on, as it was known for making techno/electronica so well. Well, Reason 4 allows you to make seriously organic and natural sounding sounds. Theres so MANY sounds, its really youre own fault if the overall sound ends up cheesy, or too synthy.

I cant afford Record right now, and Im not a fan of the dongle. Right now, I work with Reason 4 and Audition 3 and its a great match for what I need. Be assured, that 'quality' is something you get with Propellerhead ~ gotta give the devil his due, there.
