@mustakatu I agree that the Pro part isn’t very important, but Studio One is. My main concern would have been maintaining a sense of familiarity for longtime Studio One Pro users. But yes, “Fender Studio One” would have been a smart choice and I can certainly agree with your logic that they can remove Pro from the name — although, I’d want to at…Read More

@linkedmusicians, agreed, not a good rebranding strategy. Fender Studio Pro has no recognition effect at all, users won’t read it as a former Studio One.

Well-  I should not be surprised, but it gives me pause.  As a Studio One user since V3 it seems like they are throwing away some market familiarity among current DAW users.  Wonder if there is any change to price and licensing model?

Finally something for those who already paid for all those earlier freebies. Smart move.

This deal is still on and I was checking out influencer videos. The Creative Sauce one part that really appealed to me was the delay on vocals.  I liked it on guitars on these two videos:

Has anyone here used it, and if so, I would love to get your thoughts — buy or pass?
