Reply To: Studio One Pro is now Fender Studio V8

[LinkedMusicians]

@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 least do some marketing research to validate that before I dropped it. It may mean something to some of their users in relation to competitor offerings. While there are no longer different tiers for this line (e.g., Artist, Standard, Pro) competitors may have such distinctions in their lines with Standard and Pro versions and some incorporate the term Pro in the name. For example: Logic Pro and  Avid Pro Tools.  The distinctions, while it may seem silly at first glance, can actually be meaningful to consumers, communicating that this is not the barebones, budget version of the DAW.
