PreSonus Studio One 7 apparently imminent

[audiojunkie]

And for those who think it's ugly, it is constanly getting graphics updates--you can make it look like pretty much anything these days.

Are you a Mac user? When people talk about it being ugly, it's mostly Windows users complaining about the non-themeable OS-drawn windows/screens. Examples: the FX Chain window, the border of the FX window when floating, or the Preferences screen, etc. This stuff isn't themeable without hacky workarounds and doesn't obey dark/light theme preferences within Windows. So yeah...ugly on Windows and not fixable via ReaperThemes/Appearance Tweaker.

Totally different experience on the Mac where those same OS-drawn windows actually look nice and light/dark mode preferences are obeyed. Reaper actually looks nice on MacOS. I use both and it's a big difference.

That said, the Reaper devs will tell you it's a Microsoft/Windows issue because they don't make it easy to have nice looking OS-drawn screens on the Windows side of the house in a way that's backwards/forwards compatible.

Mac? Pffft.... No! I use Linux! It behaves just like Windows, but I'm always hearing about people complaining about Reaper being ugly. I don't personally find it ugly, I prefer the word functional.

Plus I also see a new synth, a bucket brigade style chorus, ARA2 improvements, a coffee-machine, a bag of fish&chips, a HowTo on homemade bombs, an e-book reader, and a "your daily Haiku"-tool.

I wouldn't do it
but the new tools are calling
coffee a la DAW

Not to mention a lot of the upgrades are pretty small or not relevant to your workflow so are very skippable...its very easy to go 2 years or more and miss next to nothing...no GAS or FOMO, you just get used to it...its their when you want it.

Yes - assuming the development team stays exactly the same, so will its development-pace.

So regardless of whether you chose to renew every year or every second, the whole amount of features after two years will be identical to what it would be if they had stayed with the two-year cycle.

But if this change brings them new funds and they subsequently decide and manange to increase their output, so will your VFM.

I don't see them adding anything for midi. You'll have to pay extra for Harmony Wizard if you want that.

Yes, because it’s a 3rd party product!

Servco>Fender>Presonus

Gotta love shareholders with majority stake. For any that may not understand, when Presonus said in their emails and promos about Presonus 7 that "Your Feedback" was the reason they did this upgrade strategy, what they really mean is "Servco>Fender Feedback". Not your feedback

I think your missing the point

I'm missing the point, too.

It looks like we’ll be getting features for composers and beat makers, new sounds, a new sampler, a clip launcher, and an overhauled pattern editor.

Seems not like clip launcher, but like drumrack opened with pattern editor in the lower zone.

i forgot to mention, this thing between that Deep Flight Plugin and Splice looks like Stem Seperation.

Looks like it could be either a clip launcher or some hybrid sampler track that's similar to what cubase has.

They really are pushing this narrative that it's us users who were demanding this, and not their backers, aren't they?

When in reality users have been soundly rejecting it every time they try to repackage the same subscription model. Reminds me of politicians hellbent on pushing through their agendas regardless of what the public says.

You got all that from the pixelated picture mud? You get clearer statements when you read the tea leaves.

Well they weren't wrong. Maybe they should play the lotto they'd be a millionaire.



Got this off of Reddit btw.

Well that looks like absolute shit. What's with the rounded corners on the audio parts?
They've really dumbed it down beyond recognition. It's a pass for me, for the first time.

So guys who gona handle me the million dollar check?

This piece of shit on the right side with 'Scenes' must be the clip launcher?
Did they replace the vastly more useful Scratchpad with it?
