TheMaartian Posted Friday at 10:02 AM Share Posted Friday at 10:02 AM (edited) Anyone else notice the message PreSonus posted on their forum, that they're shutting it down? They want you to purchase their subscription package or hang out on Bassfacebook. I'm not going to do either. The Studio One Pro v7 upgrade is the last $$$ they're ever going to get from me. Bitwig Studio v5 is proving to be very capable. Time to remove Studio One from my sig. Edited Friday at 10:02 AM by John Maar 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwallie Posted Friday at 10:05 AM Share Posted Friday at 10:05 AM i'm sure another so-oriented forum will appear, altho i've had little reason to hardly ever visit the current one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pragi Posted Friday at 10:16 AM Share Posted Friday at 10:16 AM To bad, Presonus and this comes after Presonus faced criticism for its Pro Users over recent decisions around UG pricing etc. ? In general, I believe that the market for DAW developers is shrinking and that the providers are vying for every dollar etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted Friday at 01:07 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:07 PM Nothing like exorcising the support that creates the community that brings customers. It has been happening here too... you reap what you sow. When money is tight, the last thing you should do is bite the hand that feeds you. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect this forum to be closed before too long and for that decision to be blamed on the dwindling number of users (that they seem to have been doing their very best to chase away).

Shane_B. Posted Saturday at 01:56 AM Share Posted Saturday at 01:56 AM I haven't been there in years. It got really rough for a while, then the censoring and bans started, a bunch left, and it's been downhill since. It was a vibrant as this forum was back in the day. It's sad. But nothing, and I mean NOTHING I have ever seen compares to one of the admin over on teedeepeearreye. Myself and a lot of other left because of him. He would come in to the most innocent of threads and just brutally berate people unprovoked. I completely avoided him and then one day out the blue he started spewing on my replies. I left and never went back. He would block and ban at the drop of a hat. Real garbage. And not the good kind. SWIDT Anyway, I hope they don't shut this forum down. I hope they don't shut Presonus down. But there isn't anything we can do. It will feel like a close relative died if they ever shut this one down. It will be devastating to me. I've been here since they very first switched to the "old" forum. At least 20 years iirc. I was Shane or ShaneB originally iirc. Lost and forgot my password and created Bub, now I'm back to my real name again. We'll, I did make a couple posts as Mickey McFinnegan. Everyone thought it was Ed, Steve, or one of those guys, but it was me. Lol. Oh well. ☹️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted Tuesday at 03:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:37 PM (edited) The traffic in this forum will drop some when CbB is shut off. I don’t have a sense of how many people migrated to Sonar or if it’s drawn in many new Bandlab users. I have been wondering how long DAWs will last as AI takes over. I would assume even Bandlab will drop DAWs once they have an AI song generator working. It’s only a matter of time.

pwallie Posted Tuesday at 03:56 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:56 PM AI still needs creative input from a human (and is programmed by a human in the first place) so my expectation is the likes of top pop stars (eg, harry styles, madonna) will no longer be listing 20 different producers per track in the credits also, live music ftw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted Tuesday at 04:42 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:42 PM At some point, AI will no long require teaching. But someone will still want credit. As it is, the amount of AI flooding the "music" sites is pretty startling plus the number of AI songs created that are released under multiple artist names to gain clicks. But if you look at the amount of content vs the "likes", it's beyond rational. Companies will continue to AI generate songs to maintain royalty income. No need to pay and artist and producer. I agree that live music (assuming it's not just backing tracks) will be the last bastion of Music. We just have to keep pushing our kids to learn to play an instrument with even the slightest skill.
