Has it ALWAYS been like that for every version? I wasn't aware of that at all. Thanks for the correction. Stay learning something new.

:obama:

Version 5 and up. Works the same way as FLstudio does, you have to enable it by pressing F4.

IMO reason is for the more musically inclined. i transitioned for FL to reason with very little trouble. one quick set back for the budget minded is that to use reason you NEED a midi controller. for FL you can just use the computers keyboard.
you can use the computer keyboard on reason as well.

EDIT: just noticed it's already been addressed.

If this is your first time working with a DAW, FLStudio has an easier learning curve imo. Once you get acclimated with FL, download a demo of Reason 7 and see which one fits your workflow. I used to work with Reason 5 and was thinking of switching to Logic Pro or Maschine then Reason 7 dropped :blessed:. The version upgrade was night and day for me. Using midi out , rewiring. As mentioned before, stock up on your VST's and Drums.

You'll never believe this but I've actually never worked in FL Studio. I've heard some great things about it, people say it's really easy to get into but it's hard to imagine anything that offers a higher ease of proficiency than Reason. Especially the new Reason 6, they really did great things with it.
Can someone who's used both explain how they compare? I'm starting to get interested in what people are raving about.
I have used both...This is my opinion...

What I like about Reason
(1) The sounds (Refills) are great

What I like about FL Studio
(1) Pretty much everything else...It is easy to use (relatively speaking), the piano roll, the sequencers, the different effects plugins, HARMOR vst :blessed:

Edison is :blessed: for sample flippers...

If you want to re-recreate that Grimmey Boom Bap sound then the Beat Slicer from earlier version will do the trick, because it chops the samples very awkwardly and distorts the sound quality, so you get a lot of ticks and noises that add to that "raw" sound...

Basically,
Use Reason sounds in FL Studio and you are set...

this is the right answer, if you were to ask me.

cant go wrong with either, fl studio has a easy leaning curve. but if you learn reason it go so much further when your dealing with hardware or any other daw....

if you play keyboard/piano i would tell you to go with reason off top, the quantization and grooves are on point

reason is also the best way...for me...to get whats in my head actually sounding like i want it. its like my 3rd arm really

BUT it took me a lot longer to learn than FL. to honestly answer the question

i don't use FL any more but i can probably still pick it up and get busy.
