I've been looking into getting Reason 2.5 recently, mainly because I have a midi keyboard, hd recorder, as well as Cubase VST, FL, etc., but want a "soft synth" (I guess thats what they are called) that offers the MOST sounds to choose from. Especially high quality or higher quality strings. Any suggestions besides reason?

Feb 12, 2005 06:10 pm Reason is a good choice ,you'd be happy with that most people are . with that said I'm on the Project 5 band wagon . they are very simular programs with slight differences.
Feb 12, 2005 06:12 pm Cakewalk project 5 is real nice, ummm you might wanna check into individual things instead of the "all in one" kinda package, basically there are several types of electronic instruments...
samplers - play .wav or .aiff files and are good for "realistic" sounds because you're playing back a small recording of the real thing. this is where you'll get your high quality string sounds.
synths - there are tons of varables here, basically there are a few major types of syths, additive, subtractive, frequency modulation (FM), granular and there are some more that i don't know of, i'm sure....these are your typical "tecno" or electronic sounds that are used alot in modern music
drum machines - are basically samplers geared twards drums
then you can combine and layer each to come up with some totaly cool soundscapes
anyway i'm gooin' too far here...so yeah reason is a good place to start and so is project 5, but also look into any of Native Instruments stuff like the FM7, or the B4...
peace
