Using Demo's for Production

[V___]

Iv been using Reason 3.0 for a while, which doesnt have VST support. So in order to do some things (eg scratch with the wave traveler, 'vinyl-ize' with Izotope Vinyl etc), i use the FL Studio demo and export a wave sound, importing it back into a sampler in Reason. It was only being used occasionally, but i seem to be using it more recently. Another VST i use heavily is the Firium demo. I rewire Reason through my FL demo, watch the spectrum, try changing things on Firium, and if i like the way it sounds, i perminantly tweak the EQ in Reason.

I wont be gettin FLStudio anymore (project5 seems to be more 'me', and it has the VST support that i primarily wanted from FL6.. more research needed anyway, still need the new FL d), and i feel kinda guilty bout doing these things really. However i'm conflicted because I dont release a majority of the songs in any way, shape or form. If i do, its just a mix on OCR. However i know i'm getting use outta these programs/plugins...

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has a heavy reliance on demo's, and the legalities of using demo software for production.

It's fine if you use the demo versions. It's only illegal if you modify the program to get rid of the limitations of the demo version.

The Acid Pro 6 demo is fully functional. You can save and export and all that for a month. Pretty effin sweet sequencer now too, if you ask me (even for midi and vsti omg). Might wanna check that out. Could make your life easier (for a month).
