Incredible Information
Hi Paul....absolutely loved the tutorial. I am slowly unpacking the possibilities but I am going to have to view the material a few more times to digest the amount of information. Excited to travel this journey with you. It's giving me the courage to move outside my technical comfort zone.

Critical Info
This is one of those "must see" videos if you intend to use Reason going forward in a serious way. It is the addition of the ability to use VSTs in Reason that has brought it up an order of magnitude in professional usefulness. So if you want to get the very best you can do out of Reason at the professional level you MUST employ VSTs. This is a GREAT first overview and is also pretty "side" info-rich.

Thank you, thank you, thank you
Much needed intro tutorial to the awesome power just added to Reason. My opinion, it has made Reason the number one DAW out there, but tutorials/manuals on how to use are mostly not developed yet. For example, I spent half a day trying to route multiple instruments in one version of Kontakt to separate MIDI channels (only to come to same conclusion as Paul). Just watching gives me ideas and opens up the world of Reason to me. More please!!!!
