Reason Subtractor & Thor, Arturia CS-80, Digidesign Hybrid. All very very useful.

Justin, do you have any experience using Reason live? I'm just getting to know and understand Reason 4.0... I think it's extremely powerful but I'm not sure how it would work as part of a live rig. I hear for live sequencing, Ableton live is where it's at... any thoughts?

With the Beck show, we use Reason and Live all the time. With Ima Robot, by the time I left two years ago, the entire keyboard rig (formerly four actual synths and a Rhodes) were being handled by one laptop with Reason. Macy Gray uses Live for all her tracks. Very common these days.

It works incredibly well, both pieces of software for different things.
