I use Live rewired to Reason>>>> 2 SEXY BITCHES!!! The rewire between the two is seamless..no drop outs, no glitches, no CPU hoggin...SMOOOOOTTHHH. Ive used Live since 4 and in my opinion..its been an excellent DAW all along. The interface takes a minute to get used to, because it looks so different from most DAW's but once you get used to that (about a days worth of work) YOU'LL BE IN LOVE. The global pitch adjusting is SICK...when you can go from 90 bpm to 60 bpm, ON THE FLY..and not have any artifacts..THATS AMAZING. So in a nutshell..i create in Reason, rewire to Live to Mix where i use the Waves SSL 4000 plugs...CANT GET ANY BETTER ...imo!!!
