Audio-recording software from the makers of Reason
Propellerhead, best known for their virtual studio software Reason, have announced a new product called Record. Since its inception, Reason has never been able to record audio from external sources, as fully fledged DAW applications can. But with Record, users can capture multiple tracks of audio simultaneously; there’s even an audio mixer with a sound “faithfully modelled after the renowned SSL 9000K” console.
Record is a stand-alone application that comes with a number of Reason’s audio processors, such as the RV7000 reverb processor. It also has a new module, called ID8, which provides the Record user with a selection of virtual instruments. What’s more, there’s a software recreation of the Line 6 Pod, with basic models, to give guitarists a selection of amp and cabinet sounds (although users with other Line 6 software models can access them through Record).
But for those who already own a copy of Reason, Record can access the instruments, effects and processors from the Reason rack, and record an unlimited number of audio tracks alongside the previously all-MIDI parts.
Other features include audio-specific tools, such as a comp editor for joining multiple takes, and a real-time time-stretching processor that lets you “play now and pick the tempo later”. Record will be available for $299 in the US and £249 in the UK when it becomes available in September, with discounts available to current Reason owners and new users purchasing both applications. But if you can’t wait until the full launch to get your hands on Record, you can sign up to take part in the Public Beta testing stage.
