I started with Reason and found using ableton very confusing in comparison, fruity loops i got the hang of pretty quickly and seemed easier. I remember a lot of things by photographic memory for things like creating music, and the layout of reason is awesome.

Anyone tried Reason 5? Reason 4 is a bit outdated in the scheme of other competing softwares which seem to update more regularly (not to mention VST's always coming out) i have a cracked version of Reason 5 just finished downloading which i'm yet to try out because i still have so much to learn on 4!

All comes down to personal preference IMO, although some people go on reputation ie. a few of my friends sort of look down on me almost because i still use Reason and they moved on to Ableton (probably because these particular people just like recreating other peoples sounds for the most part).

I've been using Ableton Rewired to Reason for last couple of days, and I'm still finiding it quite confusing, I found Reason quite easy to just jump into. But I think both in rewire are a great combo.
