maybe because it's full of bug under OSX , it seems stable under WIN , but it is a nightmare with osx : crash , freeze , some vst are not compatible....If this were true, I wonder why licenses of S1 V3 are continuously being sold via the Market Place lately? There's a new license up for sale every other day...
Hate to disappoint - But I'm on a mac and it's fine for me anyway (2.5 was the nightmare). Worst GUI for me was Logic 9 it had so many bugs and crashed a lot too. Can't speak for 10 tho'.TheoM wrote:Robmobius wrote:Think with the release V3 they deserve a lot of credit.
sure features wise and on windows overall, but they deserve a big fat razzy award for the disaster of the mac version and also an extra special award (imho), a unique category, for making an already average but functional gui the worst in the business
S1 licence are continuously being sold, as are Bigwig, Cubase, Reason etc etc. UHE's stuff is also a commonly traded stock, doesn't mean they are no good, it just means people know if they need the cash they will sell!!hivkorn wrote:If this were true, I wonder why licenses of S1 V3 are continuously being sold via the Market Place lately?

I have a feeling that developers are getting tired of trying to keep up with this crap. It's almost as if Apple does this knowingly. Who knows.SLiC wrote:I think some of the MAC OS updates have caused issues with most of the major DAW platforms.
The real software market has been aimed at Windows and PCs? Surely you can't be talking about music software here? In the 3d Graphics industry you'd have a point.TheoM wrote:award for most ignorant person on the entire forum! By a landslide.

You have to remember, Mac, OSX and iOS are afterthoughts. The real software market has always been with the PC and Windows.
Feel lucky they even develop for the Mac. It's taken Image-Line almost 20 years and they're still working on it.
Your issue isn't Studio One 3, it's Mac and OSX compatibility and debugging.
S1 was dual platform feature parity from day 1.. logic at V2 was likewise mac/pc over 15 years
Image line don't code their daw in C .. nothing more nothing kess.. they use delphi and delphi was not on mac until recently.. if delphi was on mac 20 years ago then IL would have done it then. Same with plugins.. 99% of the plugins NOT on mac are in the "save as" environments the devs of THOSE haven't ported to mac. people who program their own stuff in the most common languages have both mac and win versions.
Feel lucky? They should feel so lucky for the privilege to be graced with such a wonderful OS as OSX to work with
Case in point...You yourself in this thread said this below, and I fully agree with your comment there actually...I don't see how it could possibly win best daw
The polls and awards mean nothing, literally, to an intelligent shopper doing their own homework. They, industry awards, are for the creators, as every industry gives out awards for whatever they do. At best, it might cause a person to demo something they've never actually heard of or tried before. At worst, some kid who doesn't know any better yet will run out and buy something just because it won an award....on every one of these sites and polls it's always a different daw that wins.. none of them are the "best"..
Especially when PT wins one, people go batshit. You do actually know, I hope, that little Johnny is not the best player in the world... right? But you still take pride in the trophy... right?
tbh I haven't had a single crash since I turned off VST support and now use just VST3 and AU. I was getting crashes even just dragging VSTs onto tracks before.hivkorn wrote:maybe because it's full of bug under OSX , it seems stable under WIN , but it is a nightmare with osx : crash , freeze , some vst are not compatible....If this were true, I wonder why licenses of S1 V3 are continuously being sold via the Market Place lately?

Cubase is REALLY more stable on OSX.
My apologies Theo, not my intent.TheoM wrote:you've taken that comment out of context lawrence....
