Why are you telling him that? Reason 2.0 has the malstrom synth and version one doesnt have it. The malstrom is dope as fuck. Also I have version 2.5 It has the best reverb reason has ever had plus the Scream Distortion which is very dope for making drums and synths sound old school, and a vocoder which is complicated but dope as well. I'd recommend getting reason 2.5 its free from their site since you payed for reason.

Also, there's the NN-XT sampler with 2.0...if you know how to work every inch of it then it's dope too...

anyone know i can use my keyboard as a direct audio in source on reson instead of midi,i have absolutely no concept of midi record all my drum ppatterns and synths as wavs ,also is the a way to import mp3s or wavs into reason so u can work with them

[themucka]

yes.... though u need an audio interface.. usb quatro is cheap affordable...
as for importing i have no idea read the manual can't be to hard... i only used itwith the mpc... and keep the mpc as the sequencer... i don't like the sequencer in 2.0 just the sound and moudles in it...

[The Bastard]

cool ill look into that,i cant use the audio in on my soundcard?

i have no concept of midi i have a midi slot in my soundcard and i have the cables but im not sure how to use my keyboard with reason,can anyone help me with this
