Is this identical to the Sibelius 7 Academic product offered on the Avid website for $295, including all packaging and documentation? thanks!

Yes it is the full box product, but you have to have an educational email account in order to use this. There is no key in the box, but once you authenticate yourself as a student or teacher they send you a product key in the mail.

Yes, But not any I would , and the Learning Curve seemed really steep. I use it for odds & ends sound but never wanted to devote the hours it would take to understand it. BUT I'm not a Music guy. I do video and Edius 6 meets most of my needs.

This program will function to your needs. I know people whom spend a lot of money on DAW software, and expect professional results. The true aspect is what you need and the price you will pay. Samplitude Music Studio is competitive and produces great results....pending on the users experience.

i don't know anything about "arturia". sorry about that. but you'll be better off with a sound card that has "asio" tech. "asio" tech. doesn't rely on your cpu for the software performance. my acid studio took to it like a hungry dog. i've taken reg. wav. files (songs i recorded years ago", and drag & drop it on a track without a problem. had to burn cd's on the slowest speed, or the program would crash / lock up. its also tempermental with "midi files" and recording them. now, its only $18 so its not a bank breaker. you shouldn't have to get a 2nd mortgage on your home. i have creative sound blaster x-fi platinuim sound card / system. it was a real cool deal about 8 years ago and still is capable of doing a high-end job. you might look in that direction for doing music / computer / studio quality projects. i just invested a small fortune in "avid protools" and a "avid m-box 3". but haven't tried it out yet. i'm trying to get away with what i can on this old computer (os is windows xp with sp3). i don't know how much money your willing to invest or how much you already have invested, so if you can afford better software and have a pc that can handle it, my advice is "you get what you pay for".

Sorry I wish I could answer your question. I had the very same thing happen to me about three months ago. The people at the Sienzo digital music mentor don't seem to care at all about the end-user's trouble. I bought and installed a similar software called chord pickout. It seems to work just as well as digital music mentor however it doesn't give you the bass tabs.

I had the same question when I last purchased this item. I read the technological description on both labels and could not find any difference except outside packaging. I have used both disks and found no difference in recording or playing capabilities. They are frequently on sale thru Amazon and Staples so look around before you buy at $60.

My realization is that there is not substitute for continuos practice and music study. My experience with the Yamaha Education Suite (YES) has been limited, in part because whitout previous trainning it is difficult to take advantage of it. In summary, my opinion is that piano lessons are a requisite and the YES is a complement.

It looks like all Avid products are verified/certified software for Apple OS so you don't even have to install any drivers. Short answer, yes and very easily.

hey thanks for the update! I found this on Avid's website:"You're eligible to receive a free upgrade to Pro Tools 10 if you purchased and registered this product (bundled with Pro Tools 9) on or after October 1, 2011 (register your purchase). If you qualify, you'll receive an email with instructions on how to get your free upgrade."(http://www.avid.com/US/products/Pro-Tools-plus-Mbox)So I went ahead and ordered it from amazon. Hopefully all this is true and we can get version 10 for free!

This is a student flute, in store price is about $530, plus tax will be $580 in store. But this one no tax on Amazon, can save $100 for it.This one is good for beginning. And quality is good. I don't know Misician's Fruend, maybe there has different model, hard to compare.

Moreofless, do you have a link to the Verbatim-branded spindle of 100 DVDs that is cheaper by $10? I'd love to see that.

I changed from Sibelius 2 to Sibelius 7, and while many compositional activities are similar the 7 series is much more complex in that it hides so much more. It takes some serious study to understand and feel comfortable with Sibelius 7. Were I to do it again, I would upgrade to Sibelius 6.

I just bought it at digitalelectronics4less.com for $180. I'm confused since it is listed for about $260 everywhere else (and sometimes much more!)...but it appears to be new and have all accessories. Score!

Hey Rick, I looked at AVID's website (the maker of Pro Tools), and it looks like you have to pay $299 for the PT 11 upgrade, and $599 for the PT 11 HD version upgrade. PT 11 lists for $699 on AVID's website. So depending on what you paid for PT 10, you might want to consider returning it and buying PT 11 outright... If the seller offered you a free upgrade, I'd contact them. Sorry, that's all I got... Hope it helps!

This packaging looks like the one I have. Once installed you may have to upgrade to 2.3.1, but that's a free upgrade. Depending where you buy it, the seller may simply just want to get it out the door. I believe that I paid $179.00 for my version, that was a year ago, maybe longer. Are you buying it from a store or a private seller? I believe Amazon has some buyer protection, you might want to use that. The 2 stores I typically purchase from are audiodeluxe.com and jrrshop.com, when you get on their email list you will receive tons of offers selling this stuff at really low prices. And the price you mentioned would not be out of line in one of their sales. It's to the point where I wont buy anything unless it on sale and at least 50-60% off, and every month or two, you'll find what you're looking for. I hope I've answered your question, if I haven't, ask me another question. I'm happy to help folks with this stuff.

I got mine directly from Amazon within the last month and it shipped with PT 10 & 11. Here's one thing to note - the software packaging inside didnt say PRO TOOLS 11 or anything like that. It's includes an iLok2 USB drive and directions on how to create and Avid/Digidesign online account. Once you log in to your account you input your software registration number and it will tell you that you have Pro Tools 10 and 11. This is how it worked for me (pretty quick, with the exception of the OS change). Hope that helps!
