Propellerhead Announces Significant Price Reduction On Reason Essentials

Propellerhead has announced a major price drop on Reason Essentials, the company’s streamlined version of the award-winning music making software Reason.

Propellerhead is also lowering the price on the Balance with Reason Essentials package. The integrated system featuring the critically acclaimed Balance audio interface and Reason Essentials music making software will be available at a new lower price starting today.

Distilled from the core of Reason, Reason Essentials contains a wide selection of instruments and effects in a virtual rack that builds itself, or can be infinitely customized—drum machine, loop player, sampler, synths, reverb, delay, distortion, mastering effects and more.

For guitar players, the built-in virtual guitar and bass PODs from Line 6 bring a wide range of quality guitar amps, cabinets and effects. The built-in audio and MIDI sequencer simplifies the recording and arranging song ideas, loops and full-blown tracks, and without concern about track counts, latency issues or adding that extra reverb or effect.

“We want Reason Essentials to be within reach for everyone,” says Leo Nathorst-Böös, Reason Essentials product marketing manager. “With this new price-point for Reason Essentials we’re opening up the Reason platform to all musicians who want to record, mix and produce their own tracks in a straight-forward way.”

Skills learned and song files created in Reason Essentials are directly transferable to Reason, providing users with a smooth transition to Propellerhead’s full-blown music making platform should they need more instruments, effects and advanced mixing tools.

Reason Essentials and Balance will be available for purchase at the new lower pricing worldwide starting today.

The suggested retail price for Reason Essentials is now $129 USD / €120 EUR, with the street price expected to be $99/€99. And, the new suggested retail price for Balance with Reason Essentials is $449 USD / €429 EUR, with an expected street price of $399/€349.
