Rap Beat Spot

DAW software from Propellerhead on the horizon?

I found this to be some interesting news:

While Reason is the only way to work for many – with a history of innovation and groove based music creation, as well as being flexible enough to create many other styles of music – one criticism is that it just doesn’t do the regular DAW thing – that is to record regular audio in true DAW style – adding vocal tracks, live instruments and all that.

Rumours are surfacing that there is a totally new dedicated DAW about to surface, to be uncovered at the upcoming Propellerhead Producers Conferences to be held simultaneously at various worldwide locations on May 9th.

I’ve always enjoyed using Propellerheads Reason to produce rap beats, it just works so well. A bit of software from Propellerheads for audio recording would go very nicely with Reason, especially for sampling. If this new DAW software has features to make it run smooth with Reason, even though it’s going to probably be standalone – it could really boost studio productivity for Reason users.

“This will not be an update to Reason, which will retain its own product category, but will be a new standalone product that will have full-on audio recording capabilities.”

I like the sound of that.
