I used to say this as well until people started to laugh and point at TPB when I complained about not having any money for production.

A nasty site that we are not to mention

At the end of the day all Daws are great, its just finding ones that work for you, don't let people sway your decision by saying" but this DAW can do this!" I think every DAW does the same thing its just finding the right way to do it

in my opinion its a daw. its digital, it has to do with audio, and its a workstation lol. but imo record + reason is considered a daw since record you can actually deal with waveforms and more..

^^^^
i've always seen DAW as something you can use for multi-track recording and editing. so yeah, Record is a DAW, even though Propellerheads say it isn't (but they still except awards for best DAW).
Reason is all midi in the sequencer.

yeah exactly...its all technicality bullshit. i think its safe to say if you have reason + record, you have a daw. i personally consider reason a daw because i dont do much recording and i can complete a track with it. plus its easier to call it a daw then any other name and people understand what your saying...
i hate when people get all bent out of shape about reason/record being a daw or not. even propellerhead themselves...i dont get what their deal is by not wanting to call their shit a daw

im replying coz i think you've asked 2 or 3 times now, and i thought you would of figured it out.
depends on white type of rise you want and what you want it doing.
but heres a simple'un.
open thor.
initialize patch.
osc 1 - square/sine wave
osc 2 - white noise
link them to a low pass filter.
automate frequency.
automate pitch
add effects.
obviously make sure your sustain and decay are at full if you want this rise to last
simple riser.

You guys are all talking about reason 5: But join this with "RECORD" and you have yourself a DAW that kicks ass...... I used to use cubase long time ago, never could figure that shit out..... with Record, i had tracks coming together really naturally and a thousand times faster with greater intuition!
RECORD offers a few editing options REason 5 does not" Audio editing" with time stretching which is DaBomb.... Records ssl mixer is something NO OTHER DAW has! This mixer can/will make your tracks sound big, bold, and professional..

well ok then, IT FREAKN HELPS ALOT to make your tracks STAND OUT, ...... point is, in my puny little 26 post experience, alot of DAWS do not use an ssl mixer which adds alot of nice options to tweak a sound to help make it sound BIG BOLD AND PRO>
but how should I know anything, I only have 27 posts now.LOl. LOl.

Just cos they modelled the look of the mixer on a famous piece of hardware doesn't mean it's better . Also, what the mixer looks like has no bearing on the sound engine or mixing tools. In my mind the biggest failing of reason is the mclass series. Absolute cack. It takes hours of extra hard work to make a good mix with them and any program where you have to stack several EQ's just to cut the low end really puts me off.

Wise, wise words here.
It doesn't even take forever to learn a synth to a decent level - but it takes fucking forever if you move around from synth to synth constantly without working out how synthesis works. It really, really doesn't take that long if you concentrate. You'll just get frustrated when you don't get instant gratification from the next 'must have' synth if you don't know what you're doing.
Get a rompler if you just want presets!
Obviously some synths are just better than others, but if you have a solid, known synth then learn that shit before moving on - YOU'LL BE VERY HAPPY - TRUST ME! I took this advice a few months back after flicking from one to the other and I can honestly say that making music is 100% more fun now. When you do go to your next synth you'll be better equipped to use it - that's why some of really experienced heads load up a new synth and can VERY quickly make awesome sounds - because they know their way around synthesis!
rant over!
