The work spaces functions look excellent, trouble is my current collaborators don't use Sphere so I won't be using it anytime soon. I am confused... is this implying Sphere is not compatible with Studio One or just that they do not have the FX you are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person that goes the Sphere route will have everything, all the FX, everything. A person who goes the perpetual license route will only have what he/she has purchased. So the Sphere person could possibly use stuff that the Perpetual person doesn't have Edited March 10, 2021 by Fret Flintstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I have misread it you only get an online workspace if you have Sphere. It may be possible for me to give them access and have them access the files with a Web browser. I will have to check.

But the workspace thing looks pretty good in the videos, there is a lot of stuff that looks good. I'm thinking of getting a sphere account as well, it is apparently kept separate from your normal account stuff on your PC, so you could use either or, it seems that it is set up not to upset anything you already have.

Respect due to the guyz aexepte that some features are link to sub !!! shame The only thing I picked up on that was linked to Sphere was sharing tracks via their Cloud service which makes sense to me. If you want to use Cloud storage beyond the 15G you get free from Google you have to pay. But maybe I missed something else. I opened up a large song I was working on in 5.1 in 5.2 last night. Without a doubt it loaded quicker and seemed to work better. This has happened before with their updates on my system. A new version will be noticeably better then the next will seem sluggish. 5.2 is definitely working better than 5.1 on my system in my opinion. The midi and virtual instrument features do not really apply or appeal to me much but it is amazing what they are doing with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I was amazed that the 5.2 update download was only some 200MB or so in size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What amazed me was I had it downloaded and installed in about 90 seconds. That was a first for a Presonus download for me. Probably because at the point I got it it was Sphere members only and there wasn't much of a hit on the servers. Plus I just happened to fire up S1 right at 11 and I think read somewhere afterwards that it was released at 11. IOW, I didn't rush right on at release time. It was just coincidence. I may have been in the #1 slot on the server. I'm going on about this because they are notorious for server problems during update time and I was so shocked that I had no problems at all. I was fully expecting a half day long ordeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe yours was a "Sphere" version. I seem to recall my download being around ~250MB. Edit: Just located my Studio One 5.2 installer download file. It is 195,626 KB. Or 195.626 MB, to be precise.

As I was downloading it through S1 it said the file size was 149MB. I just looked at the actual downloaded file and it says something very different. I'm still shocked at how fast I got it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that they ramped up their server capacity, especially with the extra load that Sphere in general might generate (e.g. people downloading subscription products, online shared space, etc)?

Shane_B. Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 OMG! FULL SCREEN MODE! YES! LOL! Shift + F. If you're like me and assigned a macro to Shift + F so it worked like CbB then make sure you re-assign full screen mode toggle to another key. F seems to not be used by S1 for anything so I used that. I manually went in to full screen mode by clicking View on the menu area and scrolling down to Windows and then Fullscreen. Problem is, once the menu area is gone while in full screen mode there is no way to bring it back. I had to hit the Windows key to bring up the task bar then close and reopen S1. ?? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 On one system it is acting like Cubase. It doesn't shut down right away then when I open it up it gives me the extra screen because it didn't shut down properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
