Editing Reason (software) (section)

==Release history==
Reason was first released in November 2000. MusicRadar described it in 2011 as "broadly similar to the likes of [[Logic (software)|Logic]] and [[Cubase]], but" with its "user interface mimick[ing] a rack full of equipment, allowing instruments, effects and mixers to be linked together in order to create a complete production setup".<ref name=":0"/> Subsequent versions came out in September 2002, 2005, September 2007,<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=February 2011|first=Future Music02|title=A brief history of Propellerhead Reason and Record|url=https://www.musicradar.com/tuition/tech/a-brief-history-of-propellerhead-reason-and-record-359849|access-date=2021-02-27|website=MusicRadar|date=2 February 2011 |language=en}}</ref> August 2010,<ref name="reason5review">{{cite web|url=https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/tech/propellerhead-software-reason-5-273062|title=Propellerhead Software Reason 5 review|date=25 August 2010 |publisher=[[MusicRadar]]|accessdate=10 July 2023}}</ref> September 2011,<ref name="youtube">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQA3vvuugGU|title=Reason 6 for Record Reason Duo Users|date=18 September 2011 |publisher=youtube.com|accessdate=29 November 2024}}</ref> April 2013,<ref name="musictech">{{cite web |date=3 April 2013 |title=James Wiltshire teaches Paralell Processing in Reason 7[sic] |url=https://www.gearjunkies.com/2013/04/james-wiltshire-teaches-paralell-processing-in-reason-7/ |accessdate=10 July 2023 |publisher=Gearjunkies.com}}</ref> September 2014,<ref name="synthtopia">{{cite web|url=https://www.synthtopia.com/content/2014/08/07/reason-8-a-radical-rethinking-of-reasons-workflow/|title=Reason 8 A 'Radical Rethinking Of Reason's Workflow'|date=7 August 2014 |publisher=Synthtopia.com|accessdate=10 July 2023}}</ref> June 2016,<ref name="factmag">{{cite web|url=https://www.factmag.com/2016/05/20/propellerhead-reason-9-announced/|title=Propellerhead creates new musical tools for Reason 9 update|date=20 May 2016 |publisher=Factmag.com|accessdate=10 July 2023}}</ref> October 2017,<ref name="soundbytes">{{cite web|url=https://soundbytesmag.net/review-ten-best-things-about-reason-10/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180524062243/http://soundbytesmag.net/review-ten-best-things-about-reason-10/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=May 24, 2018|title=Review - Ten Best Things About Reason 10|date=9 May 2018 |publisher=Soundbytesmag.net|accessdate=10 July 2023}}</ref> September 2019,<ref name="Gearnews Reason 11">{{cite web|url=https://www.gearnews.com/propellerhead-becomes-reason-studios-and-releases-reason-11-as-a-plug-in/|title=Reason 11|publisher=gearnews.com|accessdate=21 March 2024}}</ref> September 2021,<ref name="macprovideo">{{cite web|url=https://macprovideo.com/article/audio-software/reason-studios-announces-upcoming-reason-12|title=Reason Studios announce the release of Reason 12|publisher=Macprovideo.com|accessdate=10 July 2023}}</ref> and June 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Reason 13 is coming in June – with a host of workflow improvements and thousands of new patches, samples and loops |url=https://musictech.com/news/music/reason-13/ |access-date=2024-06-22 |website=MusicTech |language=en-GB}}</ref> Early versions of the program lacked the ability to record audio, and in September 2009, Propellerhead released [[Record (software)|Record]] to work alongside Reason;<ref name="cdm">{{cite web|url=https://cdm.link/2009/05/propellerhead-record-in-depth-preview-recording-reason-style/|title=Propellerhead Record In-Depth Preview: Recording, Reason-Style; Beta Test Now|date=11 May 2009 |publisher=Cdm.link|accessdate=10 July 2023}}</ref> Record was later merged into Reason 6.<ref name="soundonsound">{{cite web|url=https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/propellerhead-reason-6|title=Propellerhead Reason 6|publisher=Soundonsound.com|accessdate=10 July 2023}}</ref> The success of the program prompted Propellerhead to rebrand itself as Reason Studios in August 2019.<ref name="gearnews">{{cite web|url=https://www.gearnews.com/propellerhead-becomes-reason-studios-and-releases-reason-11-as-a-plug-in/|title=Propellerhead becomes Reason Studios and releases Reason 11 as a plug-in|date=26 August 2019 |publisher=Gearnews.com|accessdate=10 July 2023}}</ref>
