"Propellerhead's Record comes with an intuitive, straightforward interface and a hands-on approach to capturing performances, Record was designed for musicians - not audio engineers"
One should know that Propellerhead is a highly respected audio software developer that has rightfully earned a permanent place in today's audio and music industry. I can't tell you how many times I hear Reason loops, synths and sounds on television, film and music. They literally pioneered virtual instruments with the launch of Rebrith in 1997 taking best of show at it's release at Namm then doing the same with Reason 1.0 in 1999 which is still one of the most ground breaking music production software ever made. To me, when you use their products, it just feels right. Propellerhead always seem to put creativity first with workflow a close second putting the fun back into making music again. Now I don't plan on recording bands, editing, mixing, or mastering in Record. I would use Pro Tools for all of that and wouldn't have it any other way. But I'm talking about music production when it's you in the studio facing your DAW. To me Record represents the possibility of good work flow when writing and sequencing without a lot of thought with the power to record audio. But since I've only read and watched the vidoes thus far, I'll need to get my hands on it. Then I'll do a full review. Check out the video below.

Well being a musician and recording engineer myself. I'm hoping that Record was designed for both of us. Especially when you are both. And when it comes to creativity, look and feel. Nobody seems to to get the juices flowing like Propellerhead. I'm a long time Reason user myself and often find that I being a song there. But the big limitation in Reason has always been no audio recording. Which can be a show stopper especially when your mostly a guitar player like myself.
