I'm assuming that if you want to record in Reason, you have to have a controller keyboard. Do you? I mean, you can do drum loops and stuff, of course, and you should be able to import MIDI (can't do it with the demo) and select from there. I don't know if your VG-88 will work as the controller for Reason.

Since you have to use Reason's instruments for all the sounds, you'd want to make sure you have the sounds you want. It seems to me that Reason is very dance orientated, and if that's what you're looking for, I guess it's okay. From the demo, I wouldn't use it.

Since Nuendo is 1.6, and the lastest version is 4.2, I'm not even going to guess.

My Opinion is that with the VG88, the JV1010, Real Band and Real Instruments, you probably have enough to get started on what you want to do, and then we can start working with Reason later on to export the audio and import it into Real Band.

Give me some details on kinds of music, etc.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
