1. You don't need the refill for a song if you 'save as self-contained'.
It wouldn't let me do that with paid-for refills.
2. You can edit automation using the pencil tool
I mentioned that - it' s not what I need. It's hard enough automating with a mouse. Penciling in every CC# is a good way to kill the creative moment.
4. the built in synths are actually very, very flexible and sound awesome when you program them correctly. stacking them is also a great way to get unbelievable synth sounds.

Each to their own - what are you comparing it to? IMO Subtractor sounds like every other 'techno' subtractive synth. To my ears, it's stale. The grain table one is funky, but still somewhat lifeless. Coupled with the limited effects, and I'm uninspired. I've tended to stick with the samplers, when I've used it, but samples are samples - they can't help being lifeless.

Install Cubase or Sonar 3 first, and then install Reason. From there Reason should be recognized in your VST instrument panel within Cubase/Sonar3.

reason does sound dense. but if you spend time with it you can actually create some quality sounds. you just have to know how to work the hardware in it. i also have to agree with the fact that reason does create artifacts when manipulating with the sounds in certain ways. i have gotten them with the DR. Rex. however in my case when i do use reason. i route it through cubase sx.

if you right click the paramiter that you want to automate choose "edit automation", then hit record. you can edit the automation by just clicking on that button/knob/whatever and moving your mouse around like any other vst or vsti when in write mode. if its something like the mixer though, you may have to set up a new sequencer track and connect it to that piece of gear before it will allow you todo it.

On another note the newer reverb has an awesome tape delay setting on it, and I've tinkered with the forth coming release and it finally has a nice compressor with an INPUT LEVEL!

They really have improved it bunch from 2.0, I didn't like it back then either.
