Would love to get some feedback if you have. I'm not having a great time with Motu's once yearly update policy and am ready to jump.

Anyone leave Digital Performer for Studio One?

Don't - I tried and didn't succeed. Studio One feels like a dumbed down, unfinished version of Cubase or a needlessly complex version of Live to me.
I'd change to Logic or Cubase. New features like the articulation mapping or the track filters or ... feel half baked and rushed and left me disappointed. But depends, what you need. I'd wait at least another two years before again testing S1 (or Bitwig, you could also look at that).

Yes, me too. But in a good, not a bad, way. So I expected a more elegant version of Cubase and got a dumbed down version. I expected something beautiful like Live with more features and got, well, a program that not even uses the same key commands (numbers) for the same tools in different windows, and you can't change that, because the tools don't have names, but numbers.antic604 wrote: Fri Nov 06, 2020 2:23 pmYou might be surprised but that is EXACTLY what a lot of people are looking forReleaseCandidate wrote: Fri Nov 06, 2020 2:00 pmStudio One feels like a dumbed down (...) version of Cubase or a (...) complex version of Live to me.

Well, that's the problem with "dumbing down" anything - the devs might decide to leave out things particular person cares forReleaseCandidate wrote: Fri Nov 06, 2020 3:03 pmYes, me too.

Regarding keys, I believe Studio One has several default shortcut templates, incl. Cubase's. Doesn't it solve the problem? And I don't get what you mean by "the tools don't have names, but numbers". I'm at work now, but I'm pretty sure you can re-map the tools.

You select mouse tools by numbers on the computer keyboard (Like Cubase)OK but they are different on arrangement and editor.

If the reason is yearly updates, Cubase is the same and you pay for it. Logic is no different. Studio One has at least 3 updates in a 12 month cycle. Same with Bitwig 3 updates.ReleaseCandidate wrote: Fri Nov 06, 2020 2:00 pm Don't - I tried and didn't succeed.

Ableton done updating Live. I think they consider it done and perfect

. Like in Bitwig, each tool (pencil, eraser, ...) has a number as key command, but: pencil is '5' with tracks, '3' in the piano roll editor and '2' in the score view, split tool is either '2' or '3'. The order of tools changes too (eraser is between knife and pencil in the arranger view and after pencil in the editorAnd you cannot change the commands, because the tools are not called 'pencil', 'eraser' and so on, but 'tool 1', 'tool 2', .. and the numbering changes in each and every view
