Can't imagine how I missed this thread.
So, "Reason" is for digital synthesis, and "Reason Record" is for digital audio....
The fact that they integrate well would be a big plus. This way, you can record and effect your vocals, mix them with your MIDI tracks, and master to digital audio, all inside one computer.
I guess it would be the next logical step....
You nailed it.
I use Audition for editing and for mixing. .but to have Reason integrated in Record is light years ahead of ReWire technology. I am getting Record for that (R)eason.
I have used rewire, but am hugely unimpressed with it.
Since I can export from Reason as audio, I still mix everything in in Audition.
Life is a workaround,

BTW..Reason has a couple of dozen devices that emulate hardware boxes..the joy of it is that you can connect them in the oddest ways you can think of and create new instruments.
Here is a peek at the back of a Reason rack.
