This video is about designing music software with a specific focus on Reason, the flagship application by Propellerhead. It's a little different from my others and I'd appreciate feedback on it.

I also just noticed that there's a typo at the end where I thank you guys. It's a miserable typo. Really sorry to both Donal and Jan. Donal, you're 'JDonal'. Jan, you're 'an'. Now that it's up I'm completely unable to make alterations.

Music Software & Good Design: Propellerhead’s Reason (& the Limits of Design Idealism)

My Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/Tantacrul In this video, I discuss the art of designing music software by focusing on Propellerhead's flagship DAW: Reason. How they adjusted to the ever-changing audio production landscape over the last 18 years and the painful choices they needed to make to succeed. --- NOTE: This was not a 'paid for' review. I have had no contact with Propellerhead prior to the release of this video. --- Special thanks to Savith Wadasinghe for his tireless 'proof watching' and editing advice. --- Attribution: The horror music at the end of the video was created by GowlerMusic: https://freesound.org/people/GowlerMusic/
