Well the PropHeads announced it…. http://www.propellerheads.se/products/record/
There’s a lot of information there. Watching the video is probably the quickest way to get an overview of what it is.
The blog Waveformless (http://waveformless.blogspot.com/) had an initial take:
…my initial thoughts are, this is going to be a tough sell. It looks like it will mainly appeal to people using Reason. But with how long Propellerheads left Reason crippled without audio recording capabilieis, most people using it seriously already use it with Rewire connected to another DAW such as Logic or Live. I’m not seeing anything here that would make most people want to abandon those and learn a new DAW. The Line-6 and SSL-modeled mixing channels are nice, but probably not enough for most people to switch. There’s not much info yet, though, so I freely admit I could be totally wrong. I just think to compete in a DAW market with multiple, well-established programs, they really needed to offer something revolutionary, and at first glance, this doesn’t appear to be it. That interface looks like a cluttered mess, too, in my opinion. So what do you think? …
I think he has a couple of points, but is too harsh.
