Welcome!
Thank you for choosing Reason!
Reason 11 comes with a number of workflow enhancements in the sequencer, such as curved automation,
multiple notes drawing and muting of individual notes - plus crossfading of audio clips. We also added two
new audio modulation effects - plus three mixer channel strip rack devices, that are now additionally
available as Rack effect devices.
Reason 11 also lets you use the Reason Rack as a plugin in another compatible DAW.
Don't forget to visit the Reason Studios web site at www.reasonstudios.com and read up on all the new
Rack Extension instruments and effects created by ourselves and others that you can add to your rack.
Yours truly,
The Reason Studios Team

About the Reason documentation
This is the Installation Manual where installation of Reason and basic setting up procedures are described.
Detailed features and operations in Reason are described in the Operation Manual pdf and in the on-line
Help system. The Operation Manual and Help also contain reference descriptions of all Reason devices
and commands.
About operating system versions
Reason runs under macOS and Windows (for operating system details, see “Requirements”) and only
supports 64-bit operating system versions. All Reason packages contain program versions for both
platforms. Everything said in the manuals applies to both platforms, unless explicitly stated.
What is in the Reason box?
If you have purchased the boxed version of Reason, the package contains the following item:
Product authorization
The license number and registration code required for the installation are printed on the insert in the box.
The registration code is a one-time code used to register your Reason license to your Reason Studios user
account. Once you have registered Reason to your account and, you don't need the registration code any
more. In the box is also a link to the Reason download section on the Reason Studios web site.
! Note that if you bought Reason from the Reason Studios web shop, it has already auto-
matically been registered to your account.
