I hope they have some good stuff. I expect something big. Live looping and midi improvements alongside an UI update would be very good.

That would actually be the only thing I really wished for: Some GUI refinements. The GUI isn't bad, and it's practical, but, it doesn't quite play in the league of Logic's and Cubase's.

Regarding ergonomics and stability, it all depends on how it will be integrated.

So far Presonus has been able to do things with intelligence and brilliance.

By precisely prioritizing ergonomics and the ease of use of their Daw.

So if this kind of tools/function is added, it will be done as for the rest with intelligence.

I am well aware that this addition will not appear in this version 6, but who knows...

Your guess is as good as mine. I would be surprised, but, who knows.

So do you think this new version will mean it's almost as good as Cubase??

I mean, it might be right?

I switched from Cubase many years ago, no regrets and never for one moment thought about switching back.

S1 was better than Cubase at least 2 versions ago (if not more) - I dumped Nuendo in 2012 for it. Never looked back in anyway.

I switched from Cubase LE/AI/Elements/Artist to Studio One some years ago. I "looked back" by installing Cubase AI a few times again, mostly to see what the new version is like, but, quickly remembered why I chose Studio One. It's by far the more streamlined and better experience for me.

That's why I'm a bit defensive about new feature additions. I want it to stay streamlined. I don't want it to become Ableton or Bitwig. A DAW has to retain its character. Otherwise I can just use another DAW to get the kind of experience I'm after. Or, if all DAW's are the same, I can just use any DAW. And have a complete clusterfuck experience.

I also don't want Studio One to become like Cubase, because there is a reason why I switched to Studio One.

There, you have it. 3 people who switched from Cubase to Studio One. It's gotta be the better DAW.

I couldn’t tell you if it was better, but it was for me V4 much less cluttered and easier to use…let’s hope 6 doesn’t change that to much…I don’t mind if they add new features I don’t need, just don’t make it to cluttered and menu driven. It takes a lot more effort to make things context sensitive and intuitive to use (Bitwig are really good at this), not so much to just drop in a dozen new drop down menus or tabbed pages…

I could be wrong but I believe in version 6 it will possible to see ARA2 extensions like Acoustica and Spectralayers in the list of audio processing options when you right click on an audio clip. Right now you have to hold the alt key while dragging and dropping these plugins on audio clip in order to use them as a ARA2 extension. Only Melodyne and Revoice Pro are currently listed as ARA2 extensions when I right click an audio clip in S5. Anyone else has this problem?

At some point, it's gotta be more cluttered, if you want to force all the features in it. There's no other way, unfortunately. The only way would be to actually get rid of features at the same time. Which is probably not a very good idea.

People always argue like "Well... then they should just hide the feature somewhere, then it won't be cluttered!". Well, no, the features have to reside somewhere in the GUI, otherwise you won't be able to access them.

It's inevitable to get more bloat when you add features.

I switched from Studio One to Cubase. You need to subtract me.

Still a positive balance.

No. If you notice, the 6 is a slightly different shade of blue than the circles around it.
In other words...

CUSTOM COLOURS ARE COMING!
