Propellerhead has announced the release of Reason Record Education - new packages consolidating the Reason Record application suite at a special price for schools and institutions. Available in license packs of 1, 5 and 10, Reason Record Education pairs the music production environment Reason with Record, the recording software for musicians.

Propellerhead say "In the classroom, the Reason and Record combination has many distinct advantages over other music software programs, allowing students to focus on music creation and production, not system maintenance and software incompatibilities. Students can freely experiment and find solutions to audio problems while maintaining creative flow during music production, invariably spending more time on their projects and assignments."

"Reason and Record's studio simulation metaphor allows students to configure (and reconfigure) a complete sound studio, selecting and wiring audio processors and generators, while the large format console model provides a rare chance for students to prepare for work in large, professional studios."

Propellerhead's network multi-license system lets schools install the Reason and Record on as many computers as they like. With an Ignition Key connected to the USB port on a server or a computer on the network, the system will allow students launch the software on any computer on the network until the license limit is reached.
