Im pretty new to producing and this guy offers to sell Reason 4 and 5, Record 1.5, Recycle 2.1 and an Alesis Photon x25 Midi Keyboard.
He also throws in quite a lot of sound cd's and a Reason noob guide. He sells it for 600$
My question is, is this a good starter kit, and is the price good?

You wont need Reason 4 if you have Reason 5,Rrecycle is cool but honestly I dont use it now because I just rewire Reason 5 into ableton and do my chopping in there. I dont know about the midi Keyboard but I think that Reason is a really good program to learn on. I'm still a bit of a noob to producing but Reason has a very logical interface and once you realize how simple and powerful the routing system is the possibilities are truly endless. My advice - by the midi keyboard off him for a good price, by Reason 5 from propellerheads and then decide on either purchasing record, ableton, protools, logic etc by doing some research and testing them out at your music store. Every DAW has its strengths and you wont know which one is right for you until you try. Reason is a must though - it'll cut back on the amount of VST's you have to buy later on

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it.

The guy selling this probably has the full version of R4 and the upgrade to R5, so you'd need both if you want Reason 5, the upgrade can't run on it's own ofcourse.

Ask him if he's got Reason 6.
