i've been using reason 3 for a few years and i think its quality but now im getting bored of it.
Maybe this would happen with any software i use but i think its because i cant open vsts with it etc.
And i was thinking about getting Record so i opend a thread on this forum to hear people reviews and it prety much got slated! so going on what i've heard i wouldn't buy it.
My advise would be get reason as its prety easy to use and you can do alot with it BUT when you get it start saving to get logic or something to rewire it with. Then by the time you have mastered reason you will have enough money to get something else to use with it.
(thats the advise i would give me if i could go back in time)
Should i get reason 4?

bull bull !
the only DAW i have used is Reason and till this day am still using it many years on now, its a very hard learning process in that DAW am not going to lie to you. Many people say they regret learning everything on reason and thinks it boring, old, shit and the list goes on and on but i don't believe any of that shit! i dont regret learning on reason one BIT! by the tell you the truth its a personal thing to how far will you push your self to learn the hard things to do within reason, you have a good work rate? can be you asked to do it?
If no don't use reason. Simple

I'm in the same boat. Have run the rule over Acid 7 and Reason for nearly a month now and cannot decide what to invest in as both seem to be slightly consigned to the past according to the consensus on here but both offer me the best for my pc specs.
On one hand i struggle working with midi in Reason compared to audio in acid but i get my drums and bassline down better in Reason. Maybe i should just religously learn the NNXT sampler then i will be good to go. Its frustrating though as i just want to get on with making music! comparing the myriad of features in every daw has certainly slowed any workflow down recently. Soon i will have to decide and i think Reason still offers a great package overall so i will probably lean towards that in the long run

I just wanted to say that I disagree that Reason has a high learning curve...it was the first DAW I learned, back when I knew nothing about them, and I'm self-taught. It's all fairly simple, all of the devices work without any bugs, the sequencer is really laid-out well, and the pseudo-hardware interface is actually easier for me than how other DAWs do it. I'm using Cubase for a couple of tunes right now, and I would be COMPLETELY lost in this program if I hadn't learned Reason (shit, I still get pretty lost).
Reaper is definitely worth trying, and it's really customizable, but I feel like it's got one of the hardest interfaces to use unless you've got loads of experiences with DAWs. You can make shortcuts for everything, but you need to know exactly what you want a shortcut for- the interface isn't going to lay anything out for you like other DAWs.
edit: and as for Reason being dated, in some ways it is since updates don't come along so often and you can't use VSTs, but it all depends on how you make your music. The synths that do come with it are fantastic, the effects are even better (I have yet to find VSTs that give me the same sound as the reverb and tape distortion fx in Reason). However, after using Cubase for a bit, I thought "There's no way I'm going back to Reason after this." Then I went back to Reason to finish up some tunes I'd already started and realized I could easily just continue using Reason.
