"Of all the plugins I have on my recently-upgraded workstation, CamelPhat and CamelSpace are the most frequently used."
Danny Elfmann

Alchemy provides more scope, flexibility and synthesis options than I've ever seen in any soft synth, yet you never feel you've entered a boffin's lair. This is design at its cleverest! ... Alchemy is a deceptively deep synth, yet its engine remains incredibly easy-to-use, and it's also excellent value for money."
Sound on Sound

"If you love programming amazing sounds - or even just playing them - don't miss Alchemy. It immediately jumped to the top of my short list of stunning, next-generation software instruments. ... Huge factory sound set. Incredibly deep programming. Massive realtime modulation possibilities. "
Key Buy Award - Keyboard

"Camelspace is one of the first effects I reach for when I'm looking to trip a sound out. It's very easy to use and the sequenced gating is just a huge timesaver. I'm using Camelspace extensively on my current tour and I also used it in a piece for Mission Impossible 3 with Tom Cruise."
Thomas Dolby

Hey Ant, have you ever considered downloading Reaper? It's an extremely high quality free DAW that can run VST's and Reason as a plug-in. There are various ways Reason can be used through Reaper - you'll find all of them on them on the Reaper forum. Here's on example:
Getting MIDI out of Reason 4.0+ via Rewire! - Cockos Confederated Forums

You do have a few options however, you could download Reaper (which is a free DAW) and still write the bulk of the track in Reason and use it's Rewire function to connect to Reaper and add a couple of Alchemy tracks in that.

I was just about to suggest that, actually!

I've heard a lot of good things about Reaper, so it's definitely worth a try, and if ya do end up wanting to buy a non-commercial license for it, $60 is very cheap considering the price of most DAWs and it won't skimp you on content for it!

[Amadeus]

I have Reaper on my laptop and it's excellent - it's got everything that ProTools has plus all of the midi capabilities of Cubase. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a quality DAW.You can download it for free and are asked to pay the license of $60 (which is incredible value) if you like the software. The download is uncrippled and unrestricted though so you can get set up and running straight away. Combine Reaper with all of the free VST's you can get out there and you can have a great system for next to nothing

Think I'll get that! Does the target machine have to be on the internet? I don't have my music machine on the net...

[LIQUID]

REAPER hey! Sounds like you chaps may have just thrown me a lifeline.

Cheers

Pretty sure it should be... not sure if the installer is a stand alone executable or if it downloads additional bits and pieces during the installation process. It's a incredibly small download though considering what you get out of it. The one thing about Reaper though is that there are updates almost daily so you would really want to be connected to stay on top of the development. Worth trying to get that machine of your connected Tony, even if it is only temporarily.

[TonyMiller]

No, you download it to your internet machine, then move the entire directory to your non-internet machine, and it runs from there without any further internet connection

[LIQUID]

Took a look at Reaper and it looks pretty comprehensive but for that reason as I`m on hol in a few weeks time and not back till after the closing date I`ll have to skip this comp. Not likely to be around for the voting but I wish everyone all the best and look forward to hearing the entries on my return.
