Reviews of Reason Compact

  • Great for veterans and newbies

    Whether you’re well acquainted with Propellerhead’s Reason or never used any DAW or even a phone synth or drum machine or whatever; this is a powerful app that is great for laying down ideas before they slip out of your head.

    It’s a simple 3 module set up, drum sequencer, synthesizer sequencer and bass synth sequencer but the possibilities are endless! It’s of quality samples in the free version and you can seamlessly export it as a file or straight to Ableton or any other app.

    It’s dope. As an audio engineer and musician I love it. It’s pretty sturdy and only froze like once sometimes the audio drops out but I have an older iPhone so it’s 100% awesome. GET IT NOW. you’re missing out if you don’t have this tool.
  • Awesome beginnings

    Great tool, very customizable. I enjoy it quite a lot. My only gripe is the synths are limited. if I try to play a lead over a riff on the same synth, (which allows for a much fuller and dynamic sound with bass, riff, and lead as opposed to bass and lead) the lead notes are played but the riff underneath is literally silent, or if I play a powerchord on the baseline the root gets ignored. I like the simplicity, but I feel like there is a lot more to build upon here. Perhaps optional complete in depth control over the synth sound for us more experienced homies. Maybe a separate lead option. I like the simple ness of it because those who don’t have the know how and experience, but accessibility options to control these things would be great also, and I would consider buying the sound packs, assuming I could demo them first. Also, being able to export the tracks through midi and/or garage band would be cool too. Haven’t tried it yet, but shredding over and epic synth riff sounds pretty cool to me.
  • Bad

    I spent $30 to just be able to use the synth, bass, and drums. Then $10 on some sound packs. Nothing fun, new, interesting, or mind blowing to see here. Just a money grab from Reason. I love the computer programs but the app is embarrassing.
    I bought this on day of release and have used it a handful of times. NO UPDATES in two years on a $30 app? I call shenanigans. If you’re not going to update the app, at least release the sound packs for free to the people who have paid full price for this app. I was already burnt on native instruments app and I have hundreds of audio apps that I don’t mind paying decent money for but when money grabs come around like this, it makes me very angry and it also makes me not want to support companies that helped to change the face of electronic music (in the software realm not hardware). I would pass on this one and buy Abeleton’s Note. It is a third of the price and is way deeper than this. Wasted $40 on a boring and uninspiring app. Reason you can do better.
