Studio One 7.2

You mean their "targets".

If you say so. But that sounds like nitpicking. And for Day 1 buyers like you, the year is over and you've hardly gotten any significant value for the money you spent.

Yes - I do say so. As that was exactly what was stated in that infamous video from Sept 29, 2024 where the word "promised" was never uttered.

Also in that video - the "3-4" major updates were slated to occur within the "fiscal" year 2025 - not the period between Oct 9, 2024 and Oct 9, 2025.

By my calendar - they have until Dec 31. 2025 to deliver another major update.

At this point - I am not concerned. My updates end on Thursday (like many others) and I will simply chill (with no cost) and see what the next update brings.

Meantime - I realize that others are still expecting vast "shiny" updates full of more things that no one really asked for but for me - v7.2.2 is about as rock solid as it gets - well worth the $149 I paid.

The whole "fiscal year" thing is pretty laughable, imo.

They came out with v7 in October, why would any customer be focused on the 'calender year end'? I'm buying a product, not buying shares in the company.

Furthermore, a 'fiscal year' is not a 'calender year' those terms don't, at all, mean the same thing.

Claiming they have till the end of the year 2025, is complete BS. October to October, is a 'fiscal year'

It is common for businesses to use a different fiscal year than the calender year.

I really didn't want to have to drop this into this thread - again - but here goes:

First FROM this video:



Then the key lines from Gregor (@ 1:16) :

"We are targeting 3-4 "major" releases - every year - with the first of these drops coming early next year (since this video was released on Sept 29, 2024 - "next year" IS 2025) - and going forward - version naming will be time based"

Laughable? Not really.

It cannot be more clear that these so-called "3-4 major releases" are scheduled to begin in 2025. They have delivered 2 updates thus far and have 85 more days in 2025 to deliver a third.

Sounds bang on to me.

Either because they messed up the merger with the Fender accounts, or because they are unwilling or unable to keep their promises.

You mean their "targets".

No "promises" were ever made about anything.

VP

Those target dates sounded promising to me. The sound of it was so full of promise to me, in fact, that I plunked my money down for the 7.0 update on 10/13 (I did wait around a few extra days to see if there would be a decent EDU upgrade discount -- like which had been done for previous versions -- but alas it never came).

[Vocalpoint Studios]

Those target dates sounded promising to me.

As they did for me too.

But not once did I start an imaginary clock running wondering when I could start counting updates with the sole purpose of holding Presonus' feet to the fire.

These guys are pros and pros will deliver.

But right now - Studio One v7.2.2 is not holding me back in any way - I am just fine playing wait and see.

So those of us who felt underwhelmed by the initial Studio One 7.0 release should have simply played "wait-and-see" until after the first major Studio One 7 update dropped in 2025 before pulling the trigger on the upgrade (or at least until Black Friday, or whenever the first major discount on Studio One 7 upgrades finally occurred).

I wonder if such mass abstinence would have actually had any effect on their bottom line.

Tons of folks played the waiting game. Most likely thousands (maybe tens of thousands) have still not made a move to v7.

That said - the first "real" test of the bottom line - starts on Oct 10 (for many of us) as this will be the date a user can either renew (blindly) or start to play the waiting game now our first year of "updates" is complete.

I know exactly what I am doing.

Sorry, but what you just wrote is illogical and draws conclusions based on your assumptions.

If October to October is a fiscal year and the first release is scheduled for the beginning of 2025, that does not, at all, imply the updates are occuring over the calendar year. Nothing about the update being released then implies that it couldn't be part of the year running October to October.

You saying "it could not be more clear" is simply gaslighting. Go nuts defending Presonus all you'd like, doesn't change anything.

[Vocalpoint Studios]

Sorry, but what you just wrote is illogical and draws conclusions based on your assumptions.

Well - if we would have gotten the first major update in Fall 2024 (between Oct 10 and Dec 31) I might be inclined to rethink it a bit. But that did not happen nor was any major update for 2024 mentioned anywhere in the video.

But hey - believe what you want to believe. Set a timer if you want - but I will bet money there is no update coming in the next 36 hrs.

In the end - who cares anyway? What are you going do - quit using S1 if they don't give you something by Thursday?

Is anybody else wondering why they still haven't used the "time-based version naming"? After all, this whole video more and more looks like their idea and plan how to move on ... and then something different happened and the whole thing got a little bit messed up.

[J Veronica]

Presonus have essentially taught the day one upgraders not to waste their money.

It's a bold sales move, lol.

Lots of users wondering about lots of stuff lately. My take on version naming is that it needs to be done with very good comms and logic or else it will be a debacle from the start.

This and other "wondering" abound.

Yet, not all require you to respond.
