Renaming it makes sense.  PreSonus Sphere was always a bad name, as it never really indicated what exactly the subscription was about.

You're not gonna get much more bland than adding "plus" or other postfix moniker than that. Unless you name your subscription service "creative something" or "creative access."

Build one with a box, a hamster wheel and a load of amphetamine. 

Do you still use hamsters? You have to catch on with the times...

Eventually, they'll fix that annoying sustain pedal issue which has been present since version 1.

Why can't I be both?

In practice, the vast majority of people are just plugin owners. But they fall into FOMO by hoarding plugins because what if they need that specific plugin and they don't have it? And said time never comes because they might even forget they own said plugin or even have it installed. Not to say you shouldn't strive for better tools, but those are a dime in a dozen these days and there's very little, if any, innovation in plugins at the present moment.

The main question here is...Can you buy a Leslie speaker with all the money you spent on equipment which only emulates it?

This one was in the original MODO, wasn’t it?

Only difference between this and the original MODO Bass is IKM changed the software so they could charge you for each instrument instead of giving you everything. They did the same thing with MODO Drum as well.

In the end, you gotta ask yourself: are you a plugin user or a plugin owner?

If you change the color of the bus strip, all tracks which are connected to it will change to the same color.

 simple project tracks + BUS routed to MASTER
was trying out the JST SUB DESTROYER and noticed It works as expected on an audio track but not on a BUS (which is the desired setup)

I think it's because it's listed as an instrument, but is there a way to set it up to work with a kick drum for some extra thumpity punch?

 

There's nothing preventing you from adding an instrument to the FX rack then controlling said instrument with a MIDI track.

No one EXCITED about "PreSonus Sphere" being renamed/rebranded "Studio One+"?? Come on... that is original!

They wanted to name it Studio Juan, but nobody could type that without losing their poopoo...

No explanation will be offered:

An alternative contact cleaner would be Tri-Flow, which is a synthetic lubricant often used in bicycles. Even though it is teflon and oil based, dust doesn't stick to it.

...of these marketing derps

 

 

The best one was the "Okay Boomer" one BMW did. It's awesome when your marketing department talks shit about their target audience but are too stupid to notice.

Don't let Don Henley see this or he'll sue you.

Well, you could just use duck tape, which will double as both shaving and skin peeling when you have to take it out.

So this bundle has a bunch of plugins plus a downgrade from Ozone Elements.

Don't use that plugin's EQ.  Just turn it off.

If it was only EQ, but every processing on the plugin is affected. Not that it will make it sound like crap, but you'll be targeting the wrong frequencies instead.

I can't help but wonder if this -- that many people have most or all of the plugins offered for free -- is one of the reasons why this group buy hasn't moved faster.  I'm sure Peter will do his best to present this to the folks at IK who make the decisions. 

Or because they keep doing them all the time and eventually people interested in those have "Total Studio MAXed" their way doing that and don't have interest anymore. Plus the whole disappointment once you get to find out about their shady business practices with the sound library downloads, physical products with drivers hidden behind a paywall, etc.

There was also the other acclaimed product they made called the "Really Nice Preamp." Although nowadays, you're better off with a FiveFish SC-1, which can be purchased as a 500 Series or DIY kit.

For many years, the RNC was touted as the best studio grade compressor which was affordable in comparison to what you had available at the market when it launched.

So, this is essentially a paid version of Studio Rack now, isn't it? Cause the only feature in my opinion and going from Dan Worrall's comprehensive review of the plugin is the ability to load third party plugins and M/S.

You should have received the code by email. Or do you mean the Lunacy website?

I did receive the code by mail, but I can't download it because they're down for maintenance.

I can't think of another company that craps on their customers in this way.

Reason Studios comes to mind with their recent efforts of gently forcing people to subscribe to Reason+ or upgrade to Reason 12. I had to download Reason Limited from a pirate site because they simply removed the download for it. For IK, I had to create another account to download the content on the free versions of SampleTank, and Syntronik, because these also expire.

And now their website is down for maintenance. It took me almost 1 hour to complete the purchasing process now I can't download it...

Is it just me or their site is extremely slow? Some pages take almost 2 minutes to load when they don't time out.
