Fender Studio Pro 8 Released

I'm not sure I follow..

The rationale behind automation clips (or however you want to call them) is exactly the same as the one for audio and MIDI events on the track. You want to treat a certain part as a logical unit, not as an unstructured sequence of nodes, notes etc.

Quite easy, imo. And what do you mean with destination plugin of an automation track? It so easy to set up a new automation lane with any plugin, any parameter.. so changing a destination plugin seems irrelevant to me.

If you have a set of meticulously designed automation lanes for an instrument, say dynamics, vibrato, and filter for some VI, and then you swap out the instrument for another one, you start again by defining new automation lanes and copying over the content one by one. How much easier would it be to just select a new target parameter for the lane?

Yes. You get it 100%

And your source for this is...?

I don’t work for you. But I saw it in a new features video by a fender sponsor. If you desire you can find that out for yourself.

That has nothing to do with whether you work for me or not. It has to do with making a statement without any prove or source.

The Fender site clearly states that the Studio Assistant is an exclusive Studio Pro+ feature. So if you say that this is not the case and it will be available for everyone, you seem to have some other source. Or your statement is simply gossip.

You all are right. I dug up the video and it’s wrong. It said that while it’s in beta it’s only available to Pro + users. That’s not true. On google I was able to find multiple sources clarifying that the feature is subscription only - not just beta.

I would think that any kind of AI assistant is of course going to be subscription, because it is a real-time data center service.

I'm not too keen on such an idea, because it is an incurred monthly cost to Fender/PreSonus, which always has the potential to cost more than subscriptions bring in, particularly if token costs increase. That puts Fender Studio Pro at a higher risk of losing money, which is never good for a product's longevity.

I dont care about sound packs and antique Presonus plugins locked behind a sub, but features that are baked into the native GUI is a bit naughty.

For film music composers using a ton of huge orchestral libraries this might be a different story...

But are they going to want to have multiple projects open at once? I can't really see it.

Should not be a porblem to have multiple projects open since they share the same sources and it is useful for example if you work on different cuts of a commercial.
Also does not matter if you close one project and open another. The point is, the shared instruments are not unloaded when closing the song and opening another one. So that makes closing and opening them instant without waiting for all those libraries to load again. Much like VE Pro.

I have no clue if they do in reality... I only saw a video from Lukas Rutschitzka:

where he used that as an example... if one would really do that... no idea...

In recent IG post of Fender, they indicate this feature is exclusive to the plus subscription. So it's not free for everyone like the some other person indicated in the previous pages.

Of course it won't be a f**king problem, that's what the feature is all about. What I'm asking is if anyone doing the kind of work this is supposedly targeting would actually want or need to have multiple projects open, with the need to switch quickly between them.

Also does not matter if you close one project and open another. The point is, the shared instruments are not unloaded when closing the song and opening another one.

Are you sure? That means you could have instruments open that aren't being used, which works against the efficiency goals of the feature. I doubt it works like that.

I am for one doing that type of work and use it so yes, useful. As I said especially for commercial work where you have different cuts, versions of the commercial on different projects.

For the second question yes, no reloading between songs.
