I have to say in this next update (6,5) they have officially addressed the very few issue I ever had with Reason and added things I thought no company would ever dare do. Now it's all one package with recording and Rack Extensions (plug-ins). Plus the new website/store with a free try button on every new (and old) rack extension. It feels like Reason is one of few if not the only company that listens to and reacts to it's customers. Big thumbs up for propellerheads software. I watched this yesterday morning.

I use the menus for teaching, to slow the process down and make it easy to see. Me going at the speed of right clicking doesn't show where the commands are located in the menus. I right click all the time :-) Totally. I use the menus for teaching, to slow the process down and make it easy to see.

I can see the value of starting with the menu, however, for teaching purposes. Hi Erik,

I usually do the menus in my videos so that the step is slowed down and easy to see. But yes, keyboard shortcuts are great!
