I thought about this and Live lite. I just wasn't sure if little old New Zealand was on the map in their minds.bosonHavoc wrote:plus with reaper kids could actually get a copy legally.
just a thought but did you think about contacting some companies like ableton, sonar....extc. and tell them you'll be teaching kids and your game plan and all.
they may work something out because you'll be influencing future consumers.
be cool if they gave you a bunch of Light serial numbers to give away to your students.
One other thing that is high on my priority is the quality of the forums for the chosen software. The mac based school is primary so no need to encourage exploring the internet. The other school is a high school. Alot of the kids are smart computor and internet users. I don't see how you can't encourage them to research the net. I actually have not participated in the Reaper forum, but I would not want to be seen dead recomending this forum to these impressionable minds. I'd get my ass kicked from here to Africa, and then some. Loose my job as well.
I know the M-Audio stuff gets alot of groans, but I thought about using the Fast Track USB. The drivers were a bit funny at first but they seem fine now. Cheap unit to get going with.
