What is reason 3.0? IS it a good audio program. Is it free?

I would definetly get that if I had some money and expierence. I am just starting to try out audio.
The two main choices are Reason and Fruityloops. They're both suited to different types of music, and work in different ways. If you want to get started, you'll need to pick which one you want to major in. Since they're so different, even if you get amazing at one program, you'll still have lots of work to do to learn the other.
What is the main difference between Reason and Fruity loops.
Fruityloops is best suited to techno/trance. To be honest, thats pretty much all it can do for beginner to upper-intermediate levels, and needs a lot of expansions and third-party patches to push it. Reason is great at trance and techno too, but its got a much wider field of creativity. It excels are more acoustic sounding tracks, as well as orchesteral.
Fruityloops works off a number of sequencers, piano rolls, drum machines etc. Reason is much simpler in that sence, and behaves more like a midi program (I.e. Cubase VST 4), except instead of assigning instruments from a midi pool, you make your own out of a variety of modules.
As for learning curves, Fruityloops is MUCH eaisier to learn from scractch than reason. fruityloops is perfect for people who know little or even nothing about music creation, as it introduces it in a rich environment. Reason is much more dependant on previous knowledge of music composition, namely the therory. Its almost impossible to make a decent track without knowing the basics of a piano keyboard.
I looked them both up and I dont have the money for either. :( I guess I will have to try free programs.
Reasons more about CPU than memory. The minimum req says 1.7ghz, but i've seen it tweaked enough to run on a pentium 2 with minimal lag. Memory will just effect the loading times of samples, and the load up time in general.
I was going to make one like this but
why 3.0 it should just be Reason because they could come out with new version and stuff...
o well
4 won't be out until late next year, if that, and 2.5 and 3.0 are very different on some key points, noteably the lack of the combinator.

Ok mate, then I suggest we all use the old reason thread that is located here.
You´re welcome

This one is for help and support, the other one is mostly chat and arguments between FL and Reason fanboys :)

Yup, Truth is i'm just using this post to boost my ever-expanding ego.
Would anyone like to explain how to use Reason as a slave for Fruity Loops? I'd like to get into that...
were might i find some beginer tutorials on reason?
The names Food, WillPostForFood.
I have little experience of fruity loops, but to say that one prog has more emphasis on using loops than another is a bit silly IMO, almost all music is made from loops or has some looping qualities to it, so why the hell does everyone keep saying that fruity loops is based more on loops? OPEN YOUR MINDS PEOPLE

When searching for "Reason tutorial", I came across this right at the top:

There are some really awesome books out there too.
Reason 3: Visual Quickstart Guide is probably THE book to get. I own the quide for Pro Tools and it covers EVERYTHING.
The books like 400 pages and only costs like $15.00. Judging from the Pro Tools book I'd go for it. Hell, for $15.00.
I bought this and it sucks. It goes over every damn knob, which is good, but it doesn't really talk about what it does or advantages of using it and such. And, alot of the devices have the same things like Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release. They sorted the book out by device instead of controls and etc. so it's very rhetorical information for each device...
I just got reason and it pretty much rapes Fruity Loops, although I would suggest some hands on computer snythesizing expierence before you tackle reason. But the stuff Im just fooling around with now sounds better than my best fruity loops stuff....so yeah
Developer by day; Deviant by night
All of my older songs were made in Fruity Loops. I don't really have a clue how to use it. For me Reason was easier to learn. I guess because I wanted to. Never really had any interest in FL. I want to buy it to run both programs together. It's hard to sequence vocals efficiently with Reason alone. I just run them through an NN-XT.
yeah, but thats the same with any music production program. You cant record live and have it outputting with applied effects, due to restrictions in feedback and processing power, so you have to record things before. Reason wasnt truely made for the handling of vocals, and they really need to make a module to deal specificaly with them.
how do i convert tracks i made in reason into mp3 format

dude, you asked in the reason thread, why would you go and bump this old thread too?
answer is the same, reason CANNOT convert itself, youll have to find a codec that can convert from .wav (wich is the format you can export reason project into).
wav ---> mp3 codec, check the audio sticky

you guys do things the difficult way "download this and that, all these programs you've never heard of" just get your song exported from reason to wherever you can find it open iTunes play it in there see how it sounds, but wait its still WMA, so go Edit > Prefrences go along the tabs to Advanced then go to Importing and select Import Using MP3 Encoder you should see it working in the play are of iTunes when its done you'll have a new copy of the song in Mp3 format (yes compressed) and there you go

i could basicly say the same thing for your help... he may not have iTunes that you suggested. It´s a good suggestion though, and more suggestions he can find in the audio-sticky that i linked to.
but wait its still WMA,
No songs exported from Reason end up .WMA, they are all .WAV

also this isn´t, despite its name, the official reason thread. this is.
