"Reason 4" is a music- and sound-editing program that allows you to assemble and create digital audio with a few mouse clicks. With "Reason 4," you can import audio files and edit them together using multiple audio tracks. You can also cut out parts of a track or add effects to get them to sound the way you want them.
