Reason 3
Propellerhead first gave us ReCycle, then Rebirth, then Reason.
We're now at version 3 of Reason so it's about bloody time TheWhippinpost got on the case... and so it is!
A whole section being rolled out covering the best Reason 3 controllers, Reason 3 tutorial, ReCycle tutorial, the lowdown on Refills plus more.
Propellerhead's Reason 3 Music Creation

Propellerhead's Reason is cool - always has been. Reason 3 however, seamlessly bridges the gap between creative music-maker through to the mixing and mastering process all within an easy-to-use graphical interface modelled on the actual hardware equivalents.
Reason 3 can be operated externally by knob-fiddling a real hardware controller instead of tiny mouse movements! Here are some of the best ones that work great with Reason 3 along with some tips and tricks.

Reason Refills are portable (that is; they can be swapped and/or downloaded) Reason settings that can contain anything from dance-synth settings to drum and orchestral samples.

Propellerhead's ReCycle allows us to slice loops with ease. So if you have a full drum-loop you can whack it into ReCycle and have it quickly slice apart each percussion instrument, then steal, polish or mangle it... or even time-stretch it!
