Disagree with both of you, what Presonus should be doing is getting the balance right between different user groups instead of going down this narrow road of segmented focus on one group of users in particular per release.fedesilva wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 4:00 pmAgree. I like that they are focusing more on mixing and musicians, and not adding a bunch of stupid features to help non musicians create more loop based mechanical music. That type of music will be created by Artificial Intelligence in the near future anyway, so... you can just wait and buy a AI software that makes the music for you. And if you just want to push buttons, you still have Ableton.jamcat wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 8:17 pmThat's the best new feature of Studio One 5.
A certain segment wanted PreSonus to add a bunch of gimmicky garbage for bedroom "beatmakers" and other non-musicians. PreSonus took Studio One in exactly the opposite direction.
After reviewing the new features, a clear direction emerges:
PreSonus has taken Studio One out of the bedroom.
ALL of the new features are aimed at working musicians and engineers—either composing, or gigging, or working in professional recording studios.
Forget Bitwig and Live. PreSonus are gunning for the big fish, and they have Pro Tools in their sights now.
When you compare what 5.0 brings in comparison to it's, previous offerings, it's very weak really, with features that one could consider general maintenance additions like mixer scenes, and things which were asked for 5, 6 years ago like some basic notation. Things included which have been standard in other DAWs for 20, 30 years like midi sync.. Fusing midi and audio to be in one track rather than two... fixing problems that should have been fixed in maintenance updates like monitoring.
Five whole years, stuck with an inferior GUI system where you can't dynamically scale the built-in plugins by percentages as you can with other plugins from other developers like U-HE. Fundamental and important stuff like fonts, scalability and visibility quality of them. In previous updates we had core stuff like performance improved, which applies to everyone who uses the software.
What expense is that going to come in development time to things they implemented but still need significant improvement on like scratch pads, multi-instruments node system, workflow aspects like one knob click automation between different effect devices ( LFO Connect to Pro EQ Parameters for example) and a fundamental node system to network all this out.
Out of the bedroom and into pro studio's ? Where is that surround sound support then ? Improvements to the video system to match that of Cubase, Pro Tools and Cakewalk By Bandlab with a video time line....
Cakewalk By Band Lab
Times have changed since the 80s and 90s, the big studio's of yesteryear are now the bedroom studios of today...
