Lee Mortimer is one of the hottest producers around at the moment, mixing up tracks for various labels including A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold, CR2 and Made To Play. He’s also been on remix duties for bands such as Franz Ferdinand, Bombay Bicycle Club and The Futureheads, as well as knocking out crafty re-edits of DJ Zinc, Dave Spoon & Pete Tong and Foamo. He does all of this using Reason. in the latest issue of DJ Mag (Feb 2012, Issue 506) the magazine asks Lee why he fell in love with Reason.  Here's just one snippet of the two page interview:

What makes Reason 6 a standout product for you?
“It’s all you need in one space, and is so user-friendly. When I started to produce and use Reason, people asked me what I used to make tracks. They would always be a little bit surprised that I would get such a good sound from Reason. Now, this isn’t the case, and so many more top-flight producers use it.

'Literally everything you need to make tunes in one box. Thor is worth the money alone. To get all that’s on offer for around £300 is staggering. Essential!'

The final verdict is a 9/10 for Features, Sound Quality and Ease of Use and a 9.5/10 for Value for Money.
