I reckon that new instrument would cost $200+ if it was from NI, Wave Alchemy or Heavyocity. It seems like a HUGE update, all on its own.Yall excited with this big update? Rendering busses is kinda cool I’ll admit but overall update seems small?
It's all very definitely just you. Does anyone use on-board effects in any DAW? And the new instrument is something I'd be all over if I hadn't already spent $400-$500 on other sample libraries.i don't know if it's just me, but i'd rather them create more effects than virtual instruments... but even if they do release a virtual instrument, a multisampled instrument feels low effort. but that just might be me.
Did you even take a f**king look at it? It is a fully programmable synth with features that at least match any $200 VSTi you'd care to name. Coming out with shit like that, without having looked at the thing, just makes you look like a complete f**king moron.A Native Instruments alike sample based preset synth
That's because it is still relatively new, whereas Studio One is a very mature product. The problem with subscription is that they clearly work or all the biggest software companies in the world would have gone broke by now. Adobe, for example, have been subscription-only for 15 years or more now and it hasn't hurt them. Autodesk 3DS Max, which would be at least as complex as any DAW, is Au$2,800 per year, when it used to only cost Au$5,000 up front and Au$200 a year for upgrades. And it remains the no.1 best selling product in its market. At least Presonus still give you a perpetual license, Photoshop stops working 14 days after my subscription lapses.I have a Bitwig licence and I'm happy to renew that when I see some useful updates but the Bitwig updates are generally pretty solid.
I've had consistent issues with songs crashing Studio One when I close a project for 5 f**king years and they have done nothing to fix it, beyond blaming plugin developers. When those plugins perform flawlessly on every other host, it's hard to see that it's the plugin's fault.Hard to believe given the mature code base that this thing is built on - that this much stuff can get busted during development cycles.
Like what? I just want it to be stable, in every other way it is head and shoulders better than any other DAW I have looked at.I've been holding off upgrading to v7 until they add a feature which is of some use to me.
