I use an SSD with Studio One (and everyone should do the same, it's 2021) and my plugin scan took 3 mins the first time I scanned 400 plugins and now it takes 3 seconds whenever I start Studio One. It's fast enough. And if you don't want that just disable it. Processing, loading/saving projects, loading samples, exporting mixdown, etc. is incredibly fast for me, at least it's much faster than FL Studio. It exports a song of 4 min which is all midi and has tons of plugins as inserts in 90 seconds FFS.
I think I should also mention that I have 9900k and 64gb ram.

I have never noticed the VST tab rack in Cubase and I have owned it for over two years.
I have just messed around with it a bit, and it might be useful - but do I need it now I know its there ?

Not something I’ve ever used or care about, but I’ve got Unify if I really wanted to combine a load of synths and don’t care about having discrete audio tracks from each, but I usually want to keep them separate.

It is up to you! It gives more freedom to organize your midi channels for a multitimbral instrument or an instrument with several output.
For me, I almost do the same with my MODX. I add several midi tracks and assign them to several channels that I have my instruments in one performance, so you can do whatever you want also without it (adding folder ..etc).
For drums like Addictive drums for example, I like just one instrument but assign several audio outputs (you can do the same exactly in Studio One). Here I activate outputs (small icon on the right):
But in the end, I prefer the freedom of choice in Cubase more than in Studio One. I like to choose between midi only and an instrument.

Semantics.
In S1, if you add an empty Instrument Track to sequencer then it functions exactly as MIDI Track in Cubase.

This is the lowest I’ve seen v5 so far.
A few years back there was a 40% off Black Friday sale on v4, bringing the upgrade to $95. It’s currently $105 during this sale. So at best, you might save an extra $10, which is about $3 a month from now until Black Friday. Worth the wait?

Wondering if it is worth upgrading now?

1. That's a pretty slow workflow.THE INTRANCER wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 4:51 amYou can export selections as wav files.
You can change the plugins to gallery mode using the four square icon on the browser so all plugins appear the same width.
Use a faster drive.
2. That completely nixes all categorization for the plug-ins. Everything is in one huge list. Not optimal, or even close.
3. My system is running off a PCIe 4 SSD. My Sample Libraries are on a PCIe 3 SSD. Even still, Cubase loads the equivalent template and projects about 5x faster than Studio One 5.3 on my laptop where the system is on a PCIe 3 SSD and the Sample Libraries are on a Samsung T5 external SSD. My storage speed is not the issue. Shut up with that.

Correct. It also adds the Instrument Outputs to their own Instrument Subfolder within the I/O folder. I love that feature. It just keeps everything so organized and out of the way until I actually want to start working with Audio. Instrument outputs are quite simple to manage, in terms of what you enable or disable.EnGee wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 11:40 amIt is up to you!

Loading Projects in Studio One is a lot slower than Cubase and slower than Cakewalk. The larger the project gets, the worse it gets. So, I'm going to assume you're exaggerating.Fornicras wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 9:34 am I use an SSD with Studio One (and everyone should do the same, it's 2021) and my plugin scan took 3 mins the first time I scanned 400 plugins and now it takes 3 seconds whenever I start Studio One.

The VST scan definitely takes more than 3 seconds on my machines. Both of them, and I definitely don't have 400 plug-ins installed. That sounds awful, regardless of the DAW.
Another thing that pisses me off is the MODAL dialog that pops up if you have a MIDI Controller with an On/Off Switch and start up the DAW with it turned off.

How is the MPE editing compared to other DAWS now?

Thanks I'll be giving this a go tomorrow when I get back to the DAW!
Not been at the Daw for last days so can't check but does that affect how long a bounce will be ?
