GETTING ON STAGE WITH REASON 10

Getting your music out there and playing live has become increasingly essential, as the way music is consumed changes almost month-by-month. More people are making music than ever before, but fewer are paying for it in the traditional way, so you need to find other ways to raise your profile – and building a live following is one of them.

Reason is obviously a great DAW for music-making, but is perhaps not always seen as an option for live performance.

This is a shame, as there are many features within it that lend themselves to the live arena. Even if you use another DAW, you could consider using Reason as your live outlet, especially as it now plays VSTs and runs as a relatively lightweight option in terms of processor strain. And as you can probably guess, anything that lessens your CPU load on stage has to be a good thing.
