Well it's interesting.... but have they failed to update Mojito ? Hummm....

Studio One
Flexible Tools for Creative Musicians

Studio One doesn’t dictate a workflow, but provides the tools and flexibility for musicians to follow their own musical path. Songwriters prototyping a song will love the new Harmonic Editing features, which allow Instrument and Audio Tracks to follow chord progressions dynamically. For EDM and hip-hop producers, the next-generation Impact XT and Sample One XT virtual instruments are complete production environments—auto-slice, dice, sample, de-construct, and trigger synched loops with an intuitive workflow. Patterns and a new Drum Editor bring step sequencing and drum machine-style music creation into the 21st century. Studio One is also a complete mastering suite, including DDP import/export for CD duplicators and digital delivery for online streaming and publishing.

There’s a very good reason why so many musicians have switched to Studio One from older, more rigid programs. Built on a modern foundation that’s not bogged down by legacy code, Studio One provides an efficient, creative companion from initial inspiration to final master. Its efficient, single-screen interface houses an unlimited number of tracks, intuitive editing tools, advanced virtual instruments, mastering, and video player—you spend your time creating music, not wondering what to click next. The 64-bit double-precision mix engine is state of the art, while the smooth, analog quality of the virtual instruments comes from proprietary techniques that provide much higher controller resolution. That’s why Studio One just plain sounds better.

The reason why Studio One resonates with musicians is simple: PreSonus listens. Many new features in Version 4 are the direct result of user feedback, including AAF import/export so users can bring song data from their old DAW into Studio One. Add the most flexible arranging tools of any music program, full integration with Notion for superior notation, over 20 GB of carefully curated content, analog console emulation, advanced step sequencing, unified hardware control with the FaderPort series of hands-on controllers, and much more—it’s no wonder that Studio One continues to gain new followers every day.

At every step of the musical process, you’ll spend your time creating music instead of fighting a bloated interface. And the sound quality? Well, simply put, it’s unparalleled. In fact, the most common comments from musicians, producers and engineers who have switched to Studio One are “I can just get things done faster” and “Studio One just sounds better.” Let’s find out why.

It would be incredible if they included fat channel collection with this upgrade.

Other than that, the new features don't add anything to my workflow. I'm going to skip for the first time.

I have a feeling that once people get into this update they are going to appreciate it. Having an embedded sampler and chord tracks could do a lot for productivity for many users. The first time you to push a track in a new direction by popping in some chord substitutions that grab your ear you won't look back. That feature alone has high value.

It would be “incredible” if the mac version got past the load screen... tried to demo a number of times but it hard crashes on start up, every... single... time...

I don't need some chord track to give me substitutions. I can hear them when I'm writing. It's obvious this release is geared towards the home dj crowd and it's trying to take some of the market fruity loops has.

Nothing wrong with going in that direction I guess, just this release is very underwhelming for what it is. It's more like 3.6 instead of 4.

Well, I guess that does put them ahead of Dave Smith.

Awesome. Looks very, very good.

I am really happy to see chord tracks make their way into DAWs. Some EDM music is incredibly inventive from a production point of view but in some cases trapped by simple harmonic conventions and repetition. If the "DJ crowd" can get their hands on this and explore creating tension and release using a more complete musical vocabulary then I am more happy to see/hear this progress. Even classically or jazz trained musicians can benefit from being able to try out different progressions whilst having the arrangement snap instantly to a different chord progression. No matter how good your ear... hearing something in context can be powerful. Chord tracks also show up in Cubase so it might well be they are chasing Steinberg and FL Studio and there is nothing wrong with that in my book. I don't share your opinion but that is fine; I likely don't share your stated musical gifts either.

So it's an upgraded sampler, drum machine and a new chord track...

ok then.

clearly an appeal to the bedroom-producer crowd, which is fine... but.... I'm suprirsed at the lack of anything that's actually, dare I say, New.

this is just...stuff you already have great versions of from third party companies. at least in the case of the Sampler and Drum Machine, anyway.

I've never understood the appeal for "chord tracks" and other chord devices, but maybe that's because I'm a musician

Meh.. I could upgrade for $149 USD... but not seeing anything that really blows my socks off.

Does anyone know if the upgrades go on sale around major holidays?

Like, what would that be?

They have midi editing, audio editing, mixing, shift/stretch, then what??? New instruments and interface tweaks is all that's left. Bells and whistles.

OMG! Chord Track. I am in. I find Cubase so frustrating to work with, but it has chord track. So I keep trying to work with it.

I am happy now.

… and GUI refinements. You can already see in the picture that the way they gave the buttons more depth, it is quite an improvement.

And, in general, i'm quite surprised, as i expected much less in this update. And, for the new features, i was hoping for an update for Impact, and, i was hoping that they do some GUI rework. So, that's already 2 things matched. I'm also not for implementing gazillions of new features. I especially like that Studio One is so streamlined.
