Record is now available for Reason. You can get the software as a standalone application or a duo package that integrates fully with Reason giving you audio recording capabilities. It is about time! It is now easier than ever to add audio tracks into Reason by simply creating a new audio track and arming it for recording. I always felt that this was the one feature Reason was missing when I started using it back in 2001, I think it was Reason 1.0? Although the feature is great I still find it very disappointing that it took Propellerheads this long to add the feature.

One thing is not to be confused when you purchase and install Record along side your Reason installation. From that moment on you will be using Record and Reason is essentially a plug in inside of Record. It appears to integrate seamlessly from what I see. For some reason this is just something that upsets me because at one point I was a die hard Reason user but was forced to look into another way to record audio. I heard about ReWire and found out that Cakewalk’s Sonar had it. I had to under go a huge learning curve just to learn the software just so I could integrate audio tracks with Reason. Now, 9 years later I see a feature they should have had back then! Well, all that aside… I am sure many users will be happy with Record. Time to start saving up!

Google announced yesterday that they will be releasing a new operating system called "Google Chrome OS," for the time being. The operating system sounds quite promising and is due to release in the second half of 2010.

Google is designing the operating system for those who live of the web and are always searching for information, checking email, catching up on the news, shopping or just staying in touch with friends.

The OS will be light weight and targeted for notebook computers and focus on speed, simplicity and security. The user will no longer have to worry about downloading updates for their OS either. With the Google Chrome OS, they are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates.

Google will be releasing the source code for the OS later this year so keep your eyes open for that if you are a developer. The new OS should give Microsoft and Linux a run for its money.

People want to get to their email instantly, without wasting time waiting for their computers to boot and browsers to start up. They want their computers to always run as fast as when they first bought them and Google Chrome OS sounds like the answer we have been waiting for.
