Live organizes multiple passes of an audio or MIDI performance into individual takes. Pick the best moments of each performance and combine them to create your perfect take. Or approach sound design in a new way by splicing together random samples from your library. Link two or more tracks to edit their content simultaneously. This makes editing multi-tracked instruments or performances with multiple musicians easy and fast whilst keeping everything in time across tracks. This feature also works for MIDI tracks. Plug in your MPE-capable controller and immediately add bends, slides and pressure for each individual note in a chord. Add subtle expression variations, morph between chords and create evolving sonic textures. MPE stands for MIDI Polyphonic Expression. This way of using MIDI allows MPE-capable devices to control multiple parameters of every note in real-time for more expressive instrumental performances.

    "Reason"

    Edited 2022-05-03

    Pros: Modular system with almost infinite possibilities. Very good quality devices. Now also able to host VST plugins.
    Reason uses a proprietary format for its plugins. But now all its instruments and effects can be hosted in any DAW as VST3.
    Player devices provide super-inspiring ways to create and manipulate midi.

    Cons: Considerably different from other DAWs. Steep learning curve.
    No 32 bit version. 32 bit VST plugins will not work.
    Routing of audio and CV (conyrol voltages) is great but can be complicated, at least at first.
    The company is currently trying to push a monthly signature model.

    Overall: Amazing music tool that is fun and pleasant to use. Built-in devices look and sound great. It is a modular heaven which is great for sound design and music.
