Presonus Studio One 5.2 vs Cubase 11

[xbitz]

the scratchpads and the arranger clips in the main arranger can be connected together, workflow will be similar to the blocks one in Reason

Can they, though? Last time I tried (which was 5.0 or 5.1), changes made to clips in Scratch Pads wouldn't be carried over to Arranger, even though I was linking them.

seems but the millionaire dollar question is it a feature or bug

Neither.

Scratch Pads were never meant to work like Blocks in Reason

Although it would be a killer feature if one could duplicate-shared segments from Arranger Track

anyway this is how Bitwig should work

not S1 this S1 guy is quite an interesting a DAW, it needs some additional modular fx like RapidFx by default which has its own modulation framework

but after seems pretty usable for me, uff

Ahh interesting - yeah this does work for me. When you moved an already shared section to a scratch pad it retains the link across both the main arranger and scratch pad! Very cool...though I think it might be a bug? There is no way to copy it shared, only move something that is already shared...

I have been thinking of trying Linux. Why did you move ? and how are you finding it ?

I like - or need, actually - constraints.

Not having access to all the "toys" that I have in Windows feels more liberating and freeing, allowing to focus on a more limited palette: Bitwig stuff + (comparatively) small selection of native Linux plugins from U-He, TAL, Vital, Surge, Bom Shanka, AudioDamage, illformed.

Also it feels safer, more under control, runs better if you're not affraid to google your way through inital stumbling blocks

Give it a go - just install it on a removable SDD or USB drive and see how you feel about it, without taking any risk or commitment. Any of the Ubuntu flavours will probably be the easiest to find your way around initially, with pop!_OS being my favourite right now, but there's something for everyone there.

I tried POP OS, which is very nice, but it would not dual boot windows. After much messing around with terminals and the rest I gave up and installed Linux Mint to an external SSD which is now dual booting. It turns out that POP OS does not use grub but some other system. I have tried Linux in the distant past, but I now remember why I gave up on it. You either like fiddling around with the terminal or hate it. I am the latter.

I'm not a fan of terminal either, but nowadays you don't need to do that very often and usually it's just a copy & paste from some Google search

The only thing I'm surprised about is how many people run Linux, but actually use WINE and VST bridges to run their "normal" DAWs and Windows plugins on Linux. I completely don't see the point in that, unless someone really has an axe to grind with Windows

Frankly, I'm still in 2 minds about it, too.

It might deceive a bit. All the statistics I've seen rather hint on 1 or 2 % of the common population.

That's the issue with the internet in general. It doesn't reflect the common population.

The Linux folks are great at thematising their stuff though, as this topic shows. I mean, I really wouldn't think that a topic Studio One vs. Cubase would end up in OS talk usually, but, with Linux, it's all possible.

Did anybody mention Reaper on Linux yet?

Or Bitwig in Linux? Works like a dream.
And yes - If you only use the instruments in Bitwig, there is no need for VST emulation. However - If you want some extra instruments you sadly have to use that VST bridge, because there is no Linux native version available.

To go back on topic. I personally like Cubase for a lot of reasons, but the Control Room is one of my main reasons to stick with Cubase (as said there are a lot more reasons, but I want to keep it short here).

Yeah, I did plenty of copying and pasting in the last couple of days to try to get it to work, but to no avail.

Thsi morning I fiddled with the grub setting to try and get windows to have priority and ended up nuking both windows and Linux ! grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Anyways, I had a recent windows backup and have reinstalled and given up on Linux for the time being.

The joy of Linux. Always problem solving.

In Linux you are always the root.
Of the problem.
