To use Reason or not to use Reason - that is the question?

Propellorhead Reason is a very powerful music production tool in the right hands. However many up and coming producers are not the right hands. I think in many genres and by many producers it is over used and the presets can be heard in every grime record made. The right hands will strive to create unique and original sounds and mixdown with care to ensure that Reason is the talking point of their release.  I myself only use reason as a rewire plugin for Cubase. I have refill packets and try avoid preset sounds.

My key advice to newbies is to process, process and then process sounds generated by Reason. In side the software and in other sequencers such Logic, Cubase, Cakewalk, etc. The following tutorial may give you a starting place.
