I will post the comments I made to a friend that was going apeshit over Reason. I stand by these words: "It's cool but has some serious problems. First of all, I'm running a G4 400/192MB and all the pretty blinking lights and level meters _still_ lagged! Most of what I've been doing lately has been text based audio programming so all of those stupid care-bear cartoon knob graphics on the GUI really piss me off. I mean, who cares if the back of your "drum machine" GUI has a fucking fan and a "caution, beware of electric shock" warning. I'm not going to get shocked if I touch my computer screen! Most of the graphics are unnecessary, take up _tons_ of system resources and look silly. It's a compromise to what the performance is supposed to go to...audio. I won't even get started on the animation of the "patch cords" you use to connect the machines. That was lame. It would be nice if you could turn the GUI off." Otherwise it's a perfectly good piece of software, except that it takes up all your vertical screen space! The ideal Reason setup would be one computer just to render the stupid synth graphics, another dual processor computer to do audio processing, and eight monitors stacked on top of each other to let you see all the machines you're working with. -l[e^2] on 11/29/00 1:16 PM, DynamiCell@aol.com at DynamiCell@aol.com wrote:
