Soundtoys 5 Academic is the same as the Soundtoys 5 bundle (which includes all 22 Soundtoys plug-ins) but with a student-friendly price tag. If you’re enrolled full-time at a qualifying university or approved audio production program or an educator in the audio production field, you are eligible for this special deal. You’ll get a full, non-expiring license with only one additional restriction – it cannot be sold or transferred to another user.

Soundtoys 5 Academic is sold exclusively via two Soundtoys resellers who will verify your student or educator information before approving your purchase. To apply, you’ll need:

  1. A proof of eligibility document (either a signed and dated letter from a teacher or program administrator confirming your enrollment, or a dated copy of your current course schedule).
  2. Valid government-issued photo identification (like a driver’s license, passport, or national identity card).
