About
Reason 4 Ignite! helps you get up to speed in Reason by dropping you right into the action. This book is not hard work. You will not find long lists of features and difficult theoretical explanations to wrap your head around.

At the end of each short exercise, you'll hear the results of your work---instant gratification! You will experience in real time what it feels like to make Reason work for you, and your understanding will grow. You'll learn to take control of the synths, such as Thor, Malstrom, and Subtractor; the NN-19 and NN-XT samplers; and all the effects and other devices that make up this incredible music-making program. Screenshots and step-by-step instructions guide you through the various new features of Reason 4. With this book's guidance, you'll get into the Reason groove before you know it!
