having trouble telling if I'm buying the right version of reason
Hey guys, i'm trying to buy Reason version 3.0 online at
http://www.academicsuperstore.com, but some of my friends have told me that the version they sell may be the academic version, which is much more limited in uses than I would like. I even called guitar center and that's what they thought, only because $199 is so much cheaper than the $449 they sell it there. Here's the link for efficiency's sake: http://www.academicsuperstore.com/ma...qk_srch=reason Is anyone familiar with this site? If so, do you know if this is the full version of not? Because nothing in the description leads me to believe it isn't. Thanks. -- Matt |

Fred Is anyone familiar with this site? If so, do you know if this is the full version of not? Because nothing in the description leads me to believe it isn't. Thanks. -- Matt |

I am not aware of any "academic version" of Reason. There is a "lite" version called Reason Adapted that ships with some sound cards, but that would probably be explicitly stated if this site were selling that version. For what it's worth, I've ordered a few pieces of software from various vendors with academic discounts, and I've never received anything other than the fully functioning professional versions.

Thanks fpr the advice. I agree i think they would have made it really
clear if it wasn't the full version. I guess the price got me. It's rare that you can get $450 software for $200. But thanks again. -- Matt |

Manufacturers/publishers hope to get the students addicted early so they'll keep preferring and buying that brand later in their careers, and they realize that students often decide primarily on price. |

I did go to the propellerheads website and they had no mention of any
"reason academic". There's a teaching package but I don't think it comes with the software. Anybody even seen an academic version? -- Matt |
