Where is the ********* SCRUB TOOL Presonus?????? What the hell is wrong with you, wake up!!!!! It's really starting to annoy me now, just put a flipping scrub tool on the program it's a basic tool for precise editing and everybody else has it!!!

Does it have midi clock receive yet, so it can be slaved?

[rageix]

Some real nice quality of life updates. Feels like they are actually adding features I find useful in 6.x.

The zoom feature is nice. Copying plugins with automation is very much appreciated. Song End marker with Stop function, not a huge feature but a nice to have. Scale highlighting, not a huge change but also just nice to have.

● Edit - Toggle Note Audition

How does this work? I can't figure out

[SLiC]

Does it have midi clock receive yet, so it can be slaved?

I don’t think so, I have found Bitwig to be the only DAW that has worked for me in this respect, works great.

[liquidsound]

Is the subdivision grid still stuck at max 64?

Yeah Bitwig and Live 11 work well.

It seems they have fixed the mixer 'leaks' as I couldn't reproduce it in my Artist version.
Anyway, I have sold the Pro version. I think I will stay with the Artist.

I really hope that Presonus fixes all the bugs in S1, because it's a pleasure to work with.

Studio One needs the ability to reassign automation data to a different parameter or plugin.

Encapsulating automation data in movable clip events would also be extremely welcome.

Yes that would be nice, although I used to copy/cut and paste when I want to copy/move the automation (in all DAWs not only S1).

The confusing thing is the two independent automations for the same parameter that can exist. One in the arrangement area and the other in the editor area.

I just did a test to see which one has the priority if there are two different automations for the same parameter, and it seems the one in the editor area overrides the other till the end of the editor one and then it goes to the arrangement area one.

I must remember to use either the arrangement area automation or the editor one because it can get messy if I use both!

[jamcat]

Now imagine migrating from SWAM v2 to SWAM v3 and having to copy and paste automation data for 80 different instruments with 20 parameters each. That's 1600 automation lanes that need to be copied and pasted for just one arrangement.

[lights]

Not sure if this is a bug or something on my system.

After Upgrading to 6.2 the metronome stopped producing any sound.

Of course I double checked that the Click is engaged and made sure the click button om the mixer master channel is engaged. Double checked the click volume fader and wiggled it up and down. Went into metronome setup and all my settings from 6.12 looked intact. Pre-count checked, Click in Play checked.

Even tried replacing the click sound with custom samples. Circled through all presets.

Nothing.

Reverted back to 6.12 and immediately the metronome sound was back.

Has anyone else experienced such shenanigans ?

Do you have Listen Bus active? If that is that case, in the mixer you need to activate click on it, not the Main channel.
That is the only thing I can think of.

I can't imagine the need for that sorry! What kind of orchestra is that?
