Bring the features of a professional recording studio right into your home with Reason 8, the latest edition of this powerful DAW. Matt Piper shows you how to get set up quickly and then moves straight into making music with Reason: recording guitar, bass, and software instruments, as well as creating beats and sampling audio. He then demonstrates the tools used for MIDI and audio editing, including quantization, pitch correction, time stretching, and tempo and time-signature automation. Finally, you'll learn how to mix your track, and prep and export the mix for handing it off to a mastering engineer or for mastering it on your own.
