I dont agree, give it a go lad, I use Cubase and Reason, dont find it so difficult. Cubase is similar in many ways to other host apps.

Im sure Thor is awesome, and I know that the Malmstrom is wicked.
Not dissing Reason at all. I actually think the work flow is swift and the program is more than capable of producing quality music. there is plenty of evidence supporting this.
But look at the way things are going.. Logic 8 new user friendly interface - half the price it was - 2wice the amount of content.
Its all very well Reason being 'what it is' - in many peoples opinions its shit, in many peoples opinions it is great.
But propellerhead are going to listen to their users about what features they want to see - and with the comprehensive DAWs becoming much more accessible to new producers they are going to have to add such features as audio support and Vst support etc...
Just look at the start of the thread - Feasible - a new producer - is already asking if he should get Cubase to compensate - It may only be a matter of time b4 he realises that he can do a great deal more in cubase .
Reason "It's a complete music system" apparently - and that is a big statement. They are only naturally going to want to up hold that and progress with technology
I would be interested to find out how you know such things will
never be incorporated?
its all very confusing..... i will probably end up with being osx and installing logic 8.

You can get a copy of SL 3 pretty cheap. It lacks surround mixing, which to most of us, doesn't mean much.
Truly a great sequencer though. Very powerful through and through, and actually, a lot easier to use then you'd think. It's just intimidating, but it's actually intuitive, simple, and very very powerful. If you've ever used live or acid you'll get in there and bang some shit out very fast. Then you'll learn and grow and learn and grow and learn and grow and never feel limited by your environment. Do it one, do it right. I've changed environments too many times, knowing I wanted to land in Cubase, but I was always too intimidated. You'll be up to speed after one painful hour of trying to get it to make a noise, and one hour spent trying to wire midi to your instruments, and one hour watching tutorials on you tube.
