Better than the Included Docs but Try Reason Ignite
AS You may know by now, the ability to create a product and the ability to write documentation explaining it often do not exist in the same building.Luckily in the software world you have so-called third -party documentation. Hence this very useful book. I put off uprgrading to Reason 4.0 until this book became available. This book will really help you dive into the program. The weird thing is I was actually waiting for Reason Ignite which has more page space devoted to pictures than text. Turns out this book came out first so I got it. I would everything in ignite is covered in POWER, BUt Power goes into actually recommend" Ignite" because it is even simpler especially if you NEVER owned reason. Power and Ignite totally overlap in the sense that slightly more depth -more textand examples -but Ignite will make it easier and more enjoyable to learn. I have both but if I had to buy one it would be Ignite.

A MUST HAVE 4 ANY REASON 4 USER
Reason 4 Power is hands down the best resource for any Reason 4 user. For those just starting out it guides you through the basics. This guy does everything, but make the music for you. For the seasoned or exprienced Reason 4 user he give such a close up view of each device in Reason 4 that even professional users will learn more about this music making software. I have been using Reason since Version 3, produced music that has been commercially released, but this book rekindled my fire for this software. The book reads as if the author is standing right next to you pointing at the screen tellin you what to do to and how to do it.

Excellent guide to Reason
I bought this book as a completely new user to Reason. This book was very helpful in understanding the baiscs of Reason and how to use all the specific tools. However, this book goes into great detail about the more subtle aspects about Reason as well, so it is useful for advanced users also. The book is written well, so it is easy to follow. Highly recommended.
