My comparison was with regards to "being too big for your britches"...not anything else...sorry you misunderstood...

Nope! I agree...the interface leaves a lot to be desired, as does Cubase's. I don't know why they can't get to a "better place" with their interfaces...especially with today's CPU's and Graphics cards!

I think the days of "half off" for Studio One are long gone...they've grown too popular, which tends to give them the "too big for their britches" attitude...like IK has...but at least IK still have great sales...so they've got that going for them!

I'm sure VSM-4 is improved...but $14.99 vs $149.99...I don't think it's "that" improved...LOL

I think the 90% price differential (if you have a voucher) would be a big factor here...

Well, that saved me $14.99 and my $25 voucher!

I didn't see it released by PA, so thought it wasn't released...my mistake... I wonder if it would be free upgrade if I got the VSM-3 on sale?
