Propellerhead Software today inaugurated the Propellerhead Artist Patch Charts. Have you ever wondered what the bass sound in that track was? How they made the harp glissandos in that movie, the shimmering strings in that commercial, or why the snare in that track sounds so familiar?

Propellerhead did and asked artists the question: “What’s in your Reason Rack?”
Their top picks and insights are collected into Artist Patch Charts.

I’ve just discovered something that kind of blew my mind.

If you are trying to use REASON 3.0.4 with Cubase of any flavor via REWIRE… IT WILL NOT WORK…

NOTE: Cubase 4 LE can NOT rewire to REASON. This was a policy decision by Steinberg.
