GERMAN FULL MANUAL AND TUTORIALS

[PadShifta]

Hey guys...

Luckily, language isn´t my personal problem really, but I am German, live in Germany and have been familiar with the Reason environment for so long, I never missed any German manual or tutorial so far. Recently though, I´ve managed to brainwash a collegue of mine, after he tried to convince me how Magix Musicmaker´d be better than Reason...(Jawdrop)!!!
Anyway, he went ahead and bought Reason 8 full price and was happy until he discovered that there wasn´t one German manual to be found on the net, and not even on the props page...! Which is a no-go in my book! I couldn´t find any German manual, other than the Installation-manual, eighter.
Only thing he found was a Reason Course to book for a couple of hundred €.

Can anybody help me please?

Every new user should find the following essentials once they bought Reason:

1. A full online-manual in their Language on the Propellerhead Page (maybe Pdf download)
2. A help-menu in Reason itself with switchable languages (not only English)
3. Free Tutorial Videos in the most common Languages

I mean, really...I can switch the program to German but the help-menu remains English?? What the heck! I found my collegue using Musicmaker again the next day. I asked him why he wasn´t using Reason he had been so proud of. He explained to me that he couldn´t find a manual, leaving him with the hieroglyphs of the English manual.

I´m sure that this would help quite a few German users, who aren´t able to undestand English well enough and are experiencing Reason in a wrong way. Not good. Please fix that.

hey Andy,

seems like Props have no German translation for the Reason 8.x manual, yet.

Your friend should have a look at the Reason 7 manual as mainly the layout and browser have changed in Reason 8, the devices and concepts stayed the same.

Also, if you know Reason, show your friend around - it helps a lot to have a real human showing some stuff. Furthermore, the web is full of great tuts in this regard.

He should have a look here and start with the basic videos (I know, they are in English, but you can learn stuff from just observing and listening to the music):

I hope that helps!
