Propellerhead Record: It’s Alive!

In a previous post about a possible Propellerhead DAW, it was being speculated that Propellerhead was coming out with a piece of audio recording software. I liked the possibility of this because it would probably making recording audio and dumping into Reason a little more easy.

Here’s the official announcement of the Propellerhead Record release:

Propellerhead today unveils its brand new software, Record, which combines effortless recording and a stunning software mixer console with a limitless rack of audio processing gear that builds itself or can be infinitely customized.

I like the sound of that… so it’s conceptually similar to Reason, but for audio recording instead!

Built for independent minded musicians, Record is supposed to have the feel of a million dollar recording studio with the streamlined simplicity of a tape deck.

Simplicity is good, I can dig it.

The bad news is that no third-party plug-ins seems to be supported, but it can be ReWired. As with Reason, Record is a “closed system” but that allows the code to be very CPU efficient.

I don’t think that’s bad news at all, mainly because of the efficiency. I see myself probably running Reason rewired with Record, putting them in sync and running them both efficiently and not sapping CPU processing as much as some other software out there. Sounds like a good thing to me!
