in past I used old version of Reason, it was hard to use for me LOL. but I am sure it's a great software. like all the other DAWs, each DAW has it's own features. you do it great Muphy, I am sure you have more knowledge about it. I just do the things and trying to have little bass on everything and trying to don't make them sound bad together and adding a bass for all of it, but I know that a song can also have no guitar bass or synth bass and in those moments we can add bass to the instrument that we are playing with it and when the bass comes we can turn that first instrument's bass off or make it's amount lower.
