Companies That Offer Academic Discounts

Lets be real. Audio school is not cheap, no college is really. So as a student (and even after graduation) you're always looking for a bang for your buck deal. One thing a lot of people forget to take advantage of is academic discounts while in school. This should be listed right up with perks for going to school with hands on experience and networking opportunities. If its one thing I know besides audio it's how to save when making purchases, even if its 10%. (Yes 10% does make a difference). Some academic version purchases I’ve made while I was enrolled at Art Institute of Tennessee Nashville include Sonnox Elite bundle and Digidesign  Avid Pro Tools upgrade. I know I got more but thats what I remember off the top of my head right now. If you're wondering what an academic version is its the full version of a software or plugin offered at lower price to students and teachers.  Below I’m listing some companies I know that offer academic discounts as well as links to find out more information. Normally all a company or dealer needs is a copy of your student ID and your most recent schedule and you're good to go. So if you're a student, next time before you buy a plugin or software, check to see if they offer an academic discount. Be sure to read fine print. Some academic versions out there are only for schools and not students. Of course this isn’t everyone so check with dealers and companies before purchasing to see if they offer academic discounts.

Apple Buys Redmatica!

many have not heard of Redmatica but to me this is a big deal. I bought all of redmatica products about 5 years ago and they are basically steroids for Logic. Keymap Pro adds incredible useful features to the EXS24, pro manager lets you arrange all your sounds for Logic, and auto sampler samples hardware and automatically maps it as an exs24 instrument. I sampled all my favorite korg triton sounds with it. I thought this company was dead because its been many years since I received a update to any of the programs. If Apple ties this into Logic it will be a huge step in the right direction for them to show they are still serious about Logic. With other daws like Studio one and Pro Tools updating to new versions on an annual cycle Logic is way over due for a new version. But if they tie this into the next version of Logic now, how much longer will we have to wait for Logic 10? Check out the videos on Redmatica's site to see what it does and why I am excited about this. http://redmatica.com/Redmatica/Videos.html
