I don't know anything about it. Probably no vst support.

Ugh well I feel dumb. I think it's always free. They were billing it as one-day only? Huh.

Nope: http://studioone.presonus.com/compare-versions

Dunno what Presonus has against VST to not implement it in Prime AND Artist.

IMO it's a bit of a joke. Even Cubase LE or Ableton Live Lite have VST support, wth.

1 included instrument and no VST support. Maybe it will appeal to those looking for a minimal aesthetic

Please note if your coming from another DAW and you have the Professional or Suite version of that DAW you should probably check out the Studio One 3 Pro demo over the limited Prime version. The prime version is made for beginners who are looking to learn the basics of recording.

I thought I read somewhere if you order the boxed version (for a small fee) you get a plastic spoon and an empty oatmeal container in the package. Nice deal if true.

Maybe it will work without crashing. Thanks for the tip.

Plugins and options? What's in v2 Free that's not in V3 Prime?

Impact with no vst support is an important plugin...

but who really cares about free when we have bought Pro or Artist. the question is why we need a free version if everything new isn't avialable??

It's the KVR Host Forum. First rule of fight club... "Complain about everything, even stuff you don't actually need."

True and True!

These lite versions, as ridiculous as they may seem to a seasoned user... Keep in mind they're probably not designed for you!

I remember getting Live Lite. I picked up a CM Special magazine that just happened to have been dedicated to Live at that same time and it was exactly what I needed to get started... Once I hit its limits I bought the full version. Great marketing plan if you ask me!

I'm sure other people just getting started do not need all the features of Studio One 3 professional just yet.

Not understanding. Is Impact in Free v2 different from Impact in v3 Prime? You said Free v2 had "more plugs and options" and i was only asking what you were talking about exactly', not seeking an argument.

Or are you saying that Impact came with Free v2 but it doesn't with Prime?

It was more a humorous commentary on the free version rather than a complaint. I am not in the target market for this kind of product obviously

It may actually be very capable from a tracking standpoint rather than a instruments in the box standpoint, I personally wouldn't know as I am not very familiar with Studio One.

But hey, whatever gets me through the workday
