Reply To: Studio One 30% Off until Jan 3

[Brian]

I only bought and installed V7 yesterday, so I am learning the newer features.  The feature I am most interested in is the clip launcher. and loop features in the timeline  I always used the scratchpad extensively to do the same kind of thing, but it was not nearly as fast to jumble clips.  The new launcher makes S1 work like (a MUCH reduced features) Ableton/Bitwig, and bonus for me- it supports my Launchpad X for mouse-less clip fiddling.

Mentioned elsewhere, I was also really discouraged that Presonus killed the forum- BUT:  Presonus only paid the light bill.  They never participated.  All of the “wizards” that actually solved members issues were 100% volunteers, although several do have pecuniary relationships with Presonus. Sidenote- if you want to see actual deep developer/employee involvement, nobody tops IL / FL Studio on their forums.  All of the Presonus wizards have joined Lukas Ruschizka’s forum at https://studiooneforum.com/  Highly recommended.

I don’t understand why Presonus didn’t just leave the old forum up, but closed to new posts.  There was a wealth of helpful information there for people that want to keep using versions before 7.  They shot themselves in the foot.  On the one hand they seemed to be pushing people to 7 or a subscription, but on the other hand Studio One supports CLAP and DAWProject open source features and runs on Linux, all of which are very “customer friendly” features.
