Just kidding, latest update really looks good. I'm not on a Mac though, so I will never test it. Well, my work computer is a Mac, but I hate it thoroughly

On topic, I really hope we'll see Studio One 5 soon, but I don't really know what to expect in terms of new features. I've heard that Cubase have really good MIDI features (no experience myself though), but what is Studio One missing that Cubase has?

Yes Logic is one of those updates where everyone is excited for two weeks messing with the features. Then you get bored, and then just wait for another update for Logic to get you inspired again. Sadly, that will be the only update you get a long long while from them.

That's a hell of an update for Logic I'd like to see what Presonus has planned now after seeing that.

I'm guessing a grace period for free v5 for those that upgraded from official shop, rather than bought 2nd hand version

Do upgrades from resellers count?

Consider Studio One's updates never were groundbreaking, I think version 5 won't be groundbreaking as well.

I don't need groundbreaking anyway.

You still buy the updates anyway correct?

Yes it is, and I expect the excitement to last a week or two before people are unmotivated again.

That's plenty of features to keep logic users busy for a long time. I'd love to see some of these features implemented in Studio one.

I did last time (Studio One 4). I'll probably wait a bit this time though, and get the upgrade when it's available for 40-50 % off. Unless Presonus considers the normal upgrade price. IMO, the updates are too expensive. It's almost 50 % of the new price of the "full" product.

Technically they should, but I've no idea. Ask Presonus.

Has Presonus actually mentioned that there's an update coming out soon? Or is this just speculation based on their past releases?

chk071 · Post by **chk071** » Wed May 13, 2020 6:08 pm

The latter.

Presonus like their teasers, so you can be pretty sure there is nothing imminent until you see one!

Did they have sales within the grace period last time?

Few pages back - 2 weeks ago? - a poster (@fairlyclose I think) wanted to get a license 2nd hand, but upon contacting Presonus decided to get it from their webshop instead and he very explicitly made a point of this decision. I asked if this has something to do with possible grace period and he implicitly confirmed it. Next, there was a guy claiming he knows exactly what's in v5 and it sounded pretty reasonable, especially upgrades to 28 (or so) native devices, that indeed still have the pre-v3 GUIs. Lastly their past release schedule suggest big and x.5 releases to be happening in late May.

That's all we - myself, at least - know

You really expect me to do the job for you? Use Google and find out yourself. From the way it looks they have sales few times a year, I'd even say most of the year

I think they sort of treat S1 as a gateway for people to get Presonus hardware, which is where they make money.
