The Awesome Digital Music Software Set-Up, A Simplified Recording

I love the drag and drop and the samples browser, the two makes it easy for the Sound Designers like myself to flow with their CRAFT.I am happy with the Layout and the Work Flow. The best VERSION ever!

PROS

Even I never used Reason 8 speech recognition, but I love its accuracy in voice recording.

CONS

The App is super cool, ease of use. It has the samples browser which improves its speed.

Reasons for switching to Reason8

I found Reason's Work Flow more interesting than the previous App.

Decent Audio Editing Software

Overall, it's a world class production software that's take some time to learn however can be an awesome tool to make hits.

PROS

The playback has no delay, and runtime doesn't stutter using Macbook Pro.

CONS

It takes a little while to learn and the interface needs a little adjusting depending on your editing preference.

Reason 8

Overall experience would be i love it, and could use it to do music.

PROS

I started using reason as another way to create music or compose beats for potential new songs, maybe as a sample or maybe as a new song. As i beatmaker i love my FLSTUDIO (yes i come from that generation) but in a sense i love to go in between software. I used to use reason 3, and I love how the inferface changed, making it easier to find stuff on the daw. Its something i would recommend to anyone that want to use the program.

CONS

I dont have cons just that i use to using my regular software FLSTUDIO that i cant say anthing bad about reason at all, you have to make up your own mind when using the software.

Reasons for switching to Reason8

No reason just i was used to using or fimiliar with FLSTUDIO.

Does exactly what it promises to do.

PROS

It does exactly what it says it will do-it records your entire meeting, transcribes it, and then creates notes for it.

CONS

It takes many hours (I think it took about 4) for the transcription to finish. You need two devices minimum for every meeting.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for the review. We are glad that you liked the service. We are working on improving processing speed and in the next few weeks we plan to launch major update that will reduce the processing time. Reason8 works on at least 2 devices because this feature: 1. Enables the best auto note taking quality on the market for in-person meetings. Using more than 1 microphone makes feasible to separate speakers and identify who said what. 2. Provides mutual trust. Recording a meeting might be illegal without a permission of other participants. With reason8 all the participants agree with the fact of the meeting beeing recorded and all of them have meeting results at the end. We hope that you will continue to use reason8 and would really appreciate more feedback - how we can better fit the app to your needs.

Reason8 offers something we've all been missing

Extremely good! I'm surprised a piece of software like this isn't as well established as it should be.

PROS

The application on Android works flawlessly, with an incredibly easy sign up procedure and tutorial guide. Recording a meeting is simple and includes upto 15 minutes of recording time on their free plan.

CONS

Occasionally, the text would be ever so slightly inaccurate, but it's hard to blame the software for that. I've recorded multiple sessions at work and home and only come across errors very rarely.

The experience was not good

PROS

The idea of recording the minutes of the meeting is good ... the app interface is also very good Restaurant was not busy at night and was very close with a good family night with friends who have decided not that I was

CONS

The implementation... conversations are not recorded properly and transcripted.., the conversations are not properly transcrpted... moreover google docs inbuilt functionality to transcript does things really well

Vendor Response

Hi Shantanu, Thank you very much for your review. Valuable feedback is very important for us. We are glad that you liked the interface - we are constantly improving UI, please stay tuned with the new features. Here are a few tips to get better transcription quality: - record with multiple devices - place all phones in the same room on a table - keep the devices (and participants) stable while recording - place the phones near their owners - make records with little background noise Please check out reason8 tutorial https://youtu.be/rCfe1Yp5s2A to get the best results from your meetings. We would be really glad to hear more feedback from you.
