Reply To: Studio One 7.2 Released

Has Studio One improved since it went semi-sub in v7? The last version I upgraded to was v6.

To be honest, I haven’t had much time for making music lately, but I felt a little irked by the new direction they seemed to be going in.

 

I went back to Cubase a couple years ago because I started using MPE devices and Studio One never worked with them, even though I think they said it was added in version 5.x.  Only a couple weeks ago a user on the Studio One forum posted the “*Fix” that had been there all along (unbeknownst to Presonus support).  Now that MPE can be recorded, I picked it up again and, so far I am enjoying it.  It’s kind of slow loading projects still, IMO, but improved a bit with version 7.2 and the plug-in manager.  I decided I am fine with the perpetual licensing that they implemented last year.  It is very similar to Bitwig.  Updates for one year and then you “freeze” the version until you buy another one year term.  I have not yet used the clip launcher that came with Version 7.0, but I know I will at some point.  I like having that option to work non-linearly (like Ableton/Bitwig).

 

• MPE fix- Studio One / Options / Automation / Set “reduction level” to zero (0)”.  Numbers > 0 ( I think the default was 5? I forgot) will apparently throw away some of the MPE data stream, resulting in janky data recording that will NOT play back what you play in.
