« Last post by chrisNova777 on April 11, 2026, 12:42:27 PM »what company would be the reason 13 upgrade Canadian distributor??
In a surprising recent development, the "Canadian distributor" for Reason Studios is now actually its parent company. In January 2026, LANDR (the AI-powered music platform based in Montreal) acquired Reason Studios.

Because LANDR is a Canadian company, they are now the primary force behind the brand in Canada. However, for buying a digital upgrade code to "keep on ice," you have several excellent authorized Canadian retail options:
Primary Canadian Retailers
These companies are authorized dealers and will provide you with a digital code and a Canadian tax receipt:
Long & McQuade: They are the largest music retailer in Canada. They carry Reason 13 and typically offer price matching if you find a lower verified price from another authorized Canadian dealer.
Studio Economik (Montreal): Known for being a high-end authorized dealer for pro audio software in Canada. They are very reliable for digital delivery.
Tom Lee Music: Another major authorized dealer with a strong presence in Western Canada that services the entire country online.
Why buying from them helps your "On Ice" plan:
Canadian Pricing & Tax: You'll pay in CAD, avoiding the fluctuating exchange rates and foreign transaction fees associated with buying directly from Sweden or the US.
Delayed Registration: When you buy from Long & McQuade or Studio Economik, they email you a serial number. This number is "unclaimed" until you manually enter it into your account at ReasonStudios.com.
The Paper Trail: Since LANDR is now the owner, having a receipt from a major Canadian retailer like Long & McQuade provides very strong leverage if you need to contact LANDR's Montreal office later to claim your "Grace Period" upgrade to Reason 14.
Recommendation: I would check Long & McQuade first. Since they have a location in Pickering (near you in Barrie/the GTA), their online support is very used to handling Ontario-based orders and can quickly email you the code you need to secure the $99 price before the 14th.

Turned it on after not using it for a while, everything looked normal ... noticed some high frequency buzzing sound ... then I pushed some button ... and all lights went out. Turned it on and of ... dead. If anyone has any idea what the problem might be ... please let me know. I'm wondering if it could be some capacitor dying of old age or something.
