This new update will combine their popular music production platforms Reason and record.
In my opinion I feel that it would have made a lot more sense for Propellerhead to have combined these two pieces of software from the start.
For many Reason users the ability to now record audio within their favourite music production environment is a big deal and something that many reason users have wanted for a long time (without having to purchase Reason/Record Duo package).
Personally I’m looking forward to the new creative effects that are included in Reason 6 and the ability to finally get my hands on Neptune without buying record.
One thing that I’m not looking forward to is sacrificing one of my USB ports for the annoying security dongle. I use Reason on my laptop and I take my laptop everywhere, I will probably lose/damage this dongle.
The update is scheduled for release on 30th September.

A brief suggestion: if you don't want future Propellerhead products to be dongle-incumbered, pass on Reason 6. If you can live without the new shiny (most of which is already replicable with some creative Matrix+Thor routing), skipping this version would send a pretty clear message.
Personally I don't mind the whole dongle thing. Looking after it won't be too hard, just unplug it when you're moving around and keep it safe. I can't imagine you'd be running a marathon while making music on your lappy lol
Reason 6 is top of my list of things to get now, but then I practically worship propellerheads these days anyway!
If I knew there was going to be a required dongle usb key I would NOT have bought Reason 6. Reason 5 is good enough. Guess it's fine for homebodies but for those of us who gig and travel it's too high a liability and too easy to lose/damage it.
