Most exciting feature for me are Aux Channels. Using external hardware has always been a pin in S1. You had to create a midi instrument, then an audio track. Now we can have that in one channel.

Yeah the external instruments changes look really useful, also from the quick demo I saw online it seemed to suggest you can use external effects as part of an aux send loop too so you can reroute through a hardware reverb etc. That could be fun. And expensive.

Isn't that the case in most DAWs, though?

Also, are they actually connected? So if you select MIDI track in arranger the Aux track gets selected in console? Or if I'd drag an audio FX onto the MIDI track, will it be added to the Aux track? I was frankly very surprised in the way they've handled it. It's much more elegant in Bitwig, for example.

Wasn't that the point of the Pipeline XT?

This is getting ridiculous - like all of you I couldn't register the upgrade (or it seemed like I can't), but I just received an e-mail from Presonus thanking me for ...registering my Studio One 5

Now where do I d/l it?!

Lord have mercy - FINALLY. Same as antic, got an email thanking me but couldn't download it. After the 500th refresh of the "products" screen in my.presonus, there it was - along with a download link. Downloaded and installed - activated and working. Looks like the website is working efficiently now as well.

-Integrated Score Editor

-Mixer Snapshots
-Hardware Instrument Plugins
-Control Room software
-Clip Gain
-MPE/Poly Pressure
-Tape-style time stretch
-MTC/MMC Sync
-"Live Performance" mode

Hmmm... Hate to be "that guy"...

I'll have to spend some time watching the version 5 features launch videos as there is nothing in that list above that I really find interesting for me - certainly not for the cost of upgrading from 4.x.

Don't worry, you're not "that guy". I took the role first.

It's like they added ALL of the top requested features EXCEPT for #3: Custom Colours.
Why?

I wonder if the Studio One 5 upgrade has caused an outage at JRR Shop:

They probably should not have disabled the FORUM and GROUP checkout discount codes.

clip gain is exactly the sort of workflow enhancement I want. I am now waiting a few days tho to see about my grace period deal

Pipeline is only for hardware audio effects it doesn't work in "empty" Instrument tracks if I'm not mistaken.

Same here, I have to say it's one of the most unexciting releases ever...I'd struggle to justify throwing 50 quid at it. Version 4 wasn't hugely exciting but it did have things that I wanted and have found to be useful...but version 5, has pretty much nothing...worth talking about.
