Does anyone here use Reaktor 5?

and i really don't use it's sequencers...i do all that in live.

good luck. i hope you can find use for it. i love it.

Yeah, I think part of my problem is that I've been spoiled by the whole Reason set-up. I knew from the demo that this wasn't going to have many similarities but you'd figure that they'd at least take some sort of nod from their competition concerning stremlining things and making stuff intuitive. I'm quite certain though that as I continue to dig through this beast that I'll get to where I am with Reason...

Since you've only had your copy for a couple of weeks let's make it a point to bounce stuff off of each other, if that's cool.

Also, am I really missing out with not having Ableton? That's all I hear people talk about; I know that Cubase is friendly with midi and the sound engine is about as good as it gets but would I be better off trying out Ableton before I really commit to it?
