Im trying to add up things why people are selling so cheap, sometimes its ~20 or even 30 percent of original price.

Its crazy for how cheap you can get such a good high quality DAW

I looked for feedback from one seller and he seems to have sold multiple copies. That was a red flag for me so I am not buying from him.

Because some people got it for cheap.
If I take myself as an example, I bought S1v2 second-hand for about $60 a few years ago. Then upgraded to v3 for about $65 on Black Friday last year. You do the math.

I got the Studio One 3 Pro in the charity auction this year and I just installed it. It took me 10 minutes to add some instruments and make some tracks. It was a happy surprise to see how easy it was to get started. FL Studio is still my main DAW because I know it in and out, but Studio One 3 is a keeper. I got Bitwig also but it's just collecting dust for now.

Yeah, I have always said that there are no DAWs even close when discussing the workflow (especially for beginners). Studio One is as much "point and shoot" as it can get.

I've seen both Reason and Bitwig Studio going cheap as well. I usually do not purchase anything second hand unless it's close to half price. Never seen ~20-30 % of the original price though, which would be 80-120 USD.

Edit: Oh, did you mean 20-30 % OFF original price? That's nothing strange at all, goes for MOST software here. Even more actually. I purchased Bitwig Studio v1.3, 2 years ago for 100 USD, and Reason 9 about a year ago, for 200 USD.

I am more interested in what they are using now to warrant selling it. I owned Studio One for a while and found it a quite capable DAW. So what are they now using instead of it? And why?

Isn't it strange saying "20 or even 30 percent of original price". Should be the other way around if the OP meant of and not off?

Yes english is not my mother language, but i ment 20-30 of the original price. Maybe 20 is a bit exhagerated but ive seen alot so3 pro going from 110 - 150usd.

The latest FS i saw was today at 120 pounds wich should be around 170usd (cant check exchange now). Wich is still very very cheap considering full version costs 399 euro

I picked up v3 pro a while back for 170$ I believe but never really used it. It is a very nice and capable DAW. However, it is one if the last major DAWs with a tendency to crash really hard during the plugin scanning process (Cubase was the other one but they fixed that in version 9). If you ever run into that issue (and I understand many people never had that problem), it is a nightmare. It made it fairly unusable for me.

I think that the low second hand market price has to do with the way they gave away version 2 after the release of version 3. It was bundled up in all kinds of things. But that is only a guess.

The only annoying issue I had with Studio One so far was actually to download all the content. Around 30 files and many of them are >1.3GB in size. I left the computer running over night but in the morning I saw several failed to download and I had to restart the download of those files. In total it took me 2 days to get all the files. It was just annoying and I don't see it as a big deal. It was the same for NI Komplete. It helps to be stubborn

Is it, really - I find you don't need to create midi devices the first thing in any other daw.
Either a generic or specific you want to use for keys.

All other daws I used - just list available midi ports - and do nothing, or activate with a checkbox or similar.

But only ran v1.6 trial many years ago, and never got midi working at all. Then v2.5 Producer for a while having a license.

I think it was still for v3.x that you need Professional to have VST support from start. Something really weird going on at Presonus, I think.

Why Presonus Studio One 3 is being re-sold so cheap in KVR market?
