 s1 hit the spot, and has stayed crash-proof (for me at least) and high-performing throughout all the updates since

/ymmv ;)

Same experience here, S1Pro has been rock solid for me throughout my life with it since late 2015. ?

PreSonus have more music production hardware in their catalogue than most other DAW vendors.
Integration with Studio One is part of the selling point of some of their hardware, controllers especially.
So if they dumbed down S1 Pro, it would likely impact hardware sales too.

If PreSonus can provide a free cross platform (Windows, macOS, iOS) that is at least as easy to use as GarageBand, it’d be a go to option for pointing people to for recording.

When I was needing to collaborate with a number of students to record tracks for songs, I tried all the free options out there and Studio One Prime came out the winner (for me).  GarageBand was not an option since it was macOS only and not directly supported to export individual tracks (can to do it one by one for audio but for it’s downright painful for MIDI).

Efforts to make it easier for a newbie to record and share tracks and collaborate would be appreciated.  I’m looking forward to seeing what Fender/PreSonus  comes up with.

I'm not sure I see the *need* for collaborators to be on the same DAW. Citizen Regen has two members recording in Studio One, one in CbB, one in Ableton, and one in Reaper (he used to use Digital Performer).

It's never hindered us. Why? All members transfer full length 24/48 wav/flac files. We don't need DAW specific project/song files to get the collab done.

Sure, but it sounds like you have people who already know what they’re doing.  For those who haven’t recorded before, being able to share a project that has everything set up with guide tracks is invaluable (and there still was a learning curve).

That there is a "Craig Anderton-esque" workaround, and practically the current industry standard! :)

But Imagine if everyone had free access to the same platform for exchanging entire projects? Especially beginners?

If on Windows platform CbB is a great solution for that.  But I have to admit that CbB is at a disadvantage being only Windows DAW.  Fine for my needs but I do know a couple folks from Church that are on MACs .

CbB is not really something that an absolute beginner can just jump into and hit the ground running. It's a complex piece of machinery. I'm still learning new things about it after 20+ years, LOL!

So for Mac's and PC's then, Studio One Prime! Free and cross-platform. Still not a one-pager though, as confirmed by the Fender CEO.

Eventually, whatever dumbed down version that Fender manages to produce may be worth a look... :)

Oh yes, I know, you mean the Scottish folk. MACCleod, MACArthur, MACEan, MACGregor, ... ?

I still have Ireland and Scotland on my wish list to visit.  I was in England as a teenager with my dad, the countryside was beautiful!

Yep you got me on that one. Me too, I have been using Cakewalk products for a long time and I forget how powerful it is and complicated too.  It is one serious DAW that can take you far but you are right not beginner friendly.  Now on Windows side I actually like Mixcraft DAW.

I see this being the goal. A new audio interface that any newbie can hook up and start recording in a flash. Simple one knob plugins, results in a flash.

Digital 4-track in a box. Just connect to PC and press "Go" for instant gratification! :)

It's also what Warren Huart's "Produce Like a Pro" does with the multi-tracks he provides for members to mix. And Steven Slate too.

So yeah.... industry standard.

Studio One customers don't have anything to worry about.

Fender makes Custom shop guitars for Pros, Mexican Strats for Working musicians and Squier strats for beginners.

Studio One will always be our flagship application for professionals. Sure, we may utilize the technology to create new things for entry level recordists, kind of like Apple did with Garageband. But we have a lot of years invested in Studio One and we are just getting warmed up.

Studio tuned....
