Nice that they were able to add the staff view into Studio One latest version. Now I have to update to the latest version. Still waiting for the 50% off sale. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you get it before 11:59 PM CST tonight, Dec 31st, you can get the current PreSonus S1 5 Pro upgrade sale price at BestService for $99. Still not a bad deal. https://www.bestservice.com/studio_one_5_professional_upgrades.html Then enter the Promo Code HNY2021, and get voucher for additional -$20 off. Total = $79. 50% off would be $74.98, so that's pretty damn close! 😁 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to have it as my other to go to DAW. So when it is a great sale I will upgrade. Happy New Year everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's weird, because I tested it in the cart right before that last post, and it was $99 base price. Sorry it didn't work out when you tried! Maybe PreSonus pulled their sale early for UK? Happy New Year as well! Edited January 1 by abacab Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially since Cakewalk received a "Highly commended" mention. Hilarious. And yea, you're probably the only one that noticed. I stopped reading these types of articles, anyways. They generally aren't at all objective (but what "news" or "journalism" is, anymore). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeGBradford 493 Posted January 1 I noticed it (but knew already) - at least they didn't put it first - that would have been very dodgy! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would really appreciate them and I think a lot of others would to if they release the synths and prochannels that they have the code to. Not for free but as $$. But you are right, Bandlab has really given us a great(er) DAW and now for FREE! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marshall 159 Posted January 1 So, like many here I “left” Sonar Platinum three years ago and have used Studio One Pro ever since. When I started using SO, within a week I preferred it to Sonar, even though I’d used the latter for years. For those of you who know both these days, how would you rank CbB now vs. Studio One Pro? Are there features that you prefer in CbB? I’m sure there have been many improvements since the Sonar days. Above all, is it rock solid from a stability viewpoint? Like many here, I have stacks of external plugins so I’m not bothered about an extensive list of onboard FX and instruments. Two of the things I love about Studio One - Melodyne ARA integration, and using it with my FaderPort 16. Also love being able to chop up audio and drag the gain up or down on individual clips. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially since Cakewalk received a "Highly commended" mention. Yeah, that was what I was alluding to initially... you would *think* their own media division would actually write a review of the program rather than link some old feature. But then again, the "review" for SO is also just a bunch of links (4 pages of them), with the newest being May 2019 as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
