It’s more a 5.6 than a 6, they should already have CLAP and AUv3 support, plus modulators instead of having to set an automation lane to modulate a parameter, all modern tools for production implemented by Live or Bitwig long ago.
coming to s6 from s3 professional and i cant believe how easy the workflow is now compared to what i've been working with for the last 8 years lol. i havent even thought twice about upgrading my DAW until i noticed sweetwater had a sale for s6. im excited to work on this DAW!
As someone familiar with Ableton and Logic this really looks like a hybrid of the two to me, like they had a lovechild or something! :D Definitely very tempted to grab a license, especially if I can get one on sale. A masterclass would be amazing!
I am a Studio One user, and many features are helpful in my productions. I have almost all DAWs for windows, but I keep returning to Studio, where six of my albums have been made available on streaming services. I believe more features are coming soon, like adding CLAP (CLever Audio Plugin), as U-He, Bitwig, and many others, using open source format as a standard for developing their liberal licenses. CLAP is open source and released under the MIT license: No fees, memberships, or proprietary license agreements are required before developing or distributing a CLAP-capable host or plug-in, and the license never expires. In a nutshell, there are no entry hurdles for developers, and plenty of open source projects already benefit from CLAP. Be encourage.
It looks like this update was created to invite new people, make DAW more user friendly and improve workflow for laptop users. Surround sound probably will drop at 6.3 or 6.5. Personally, I think good pitch-shifter instead of vocoder could be better. Overall, all features are great and will improve the workflow. I just wished that we would get more killer features. Hope to see them in future updates.
The new CEO from fender made a statement a couple of months ago!! That a daw should be plain and simple with No Killer features!! It sounds to me that don’t expect studio one to have exclusive killer features in the near future.
@@99MUZIK Yeah, I've read the interview. It's still to early to judge. In the software world changes are very slow. It usually take years from idea to quality implementation. I think we should wait for a Studio One 7 release to get full understanding of a bigger picture. I believe Dolby Atmos is on their list, they just want to make it in the right way. To make sure that mixing and mastering work correct in surround, to check rendering options, test how plugins work, CPU optimization. There's a lot of work. Compare it to Nuendo (1000 euro, for a minute))). It has video track, but you have to import only Full HD videos or it will appear stretched out.

Hey JM, I recently upgraded to v6 and have been watching YT vids trying to get my head around it. I'm delighted by your overview- you really helped me get the big picture. thx so much.
S1, give me Dolby Atmos and I'll never run back to Nuendo 12 again. The dynamic eq and deesser I get from fabfilter and the likes. All these subtle upgrades are cool but won't cut it in this age. We need immersive mixing damnit!!!
It’s a great daw but the update was not super impressive for film composers except for the addition of the video track which is cool. I hope presonus adds custom click track features like Logic and Cubase have for subdividing 5/4, 7/8 type meters.
Looks like they "rounded off" the look of the elements in the mix console as well. Some cool new features. Still on the fence about upgrading. May wait until 6.5, but i'm nor sure why LOL. Thanks for the video.
Great video man. Thank you for uploading this, super informative! I love studio one, it's the one that works for me to get out all the stuff I hear in my head. The workflow came really naturally for me. Love it!
Yeah, it was almost anticlimactic in a way. But I love the fact there's a new dynamic EQ, and the lyric thing is dope AF. So, for linear recording projects, SO has always been Dope, and 6 just makes it a bit more dope. Plus...chord tracks. Just having a new announcement remind us that SO has a chord track over and over again would be worth watching a live stream for. Ha! . ( These days, I love Bitwig for nonlinear, crazy experimental stuff the most right now. But I could never leave SO...because...chord track 😂)
Ive been using Studio one since version 2. I dig the dynamic eq. The lyric track is hard af to use. I click on the hook type the hook after that im lost theres quantize options. Presonus sphere I wish there was an option to download everything I dont have. Looking for random stuff sucks after you had it for a minute. An intergration in the mastering page with isotope 10 would be dope af
ive been using Studio One 3 for about 5 years and let a friend of mine talk me into updating to Studio One 6....it all looks toyish now. For instance; in the mixer section the faders have "down scaled" to very short 'throws' !! Even if you stretch them it isnt the same and nowhere as nice looking as on Studio One 3. I am very disapointed in the compromise that Presonus has made and hope that they dont throw out the older and better looking version 3. With all of this customzation, you cant get it to look as good as Studio One 3. Ive dumped the newer version 6 and kept version 3.
I just noticed I cannot find the pre count at the bottom it used to be next to the metronome icon which I don’t see as well. Does the pre count feature still exist on 6?
Can we can finaly access bus channel from inspector view or are there any changes in piano roll like actually highliting scales on a grid not just on the keys? All these additions seem nothing exciting really... It is already done in 3rd party vst that everybody is using. The only cool innovating feature is the lyrics track.
Thanks for the review, i just wish they've added track or take versions like the ones you find in Cubase, Pro tools or logic , i think that's pretty useful also an updated score editor that is independent of notion for more serious editing and print out would have been nice and new instruments perhaps
I want studio one to do well also and have enjoyed it…but no surround mixing and so few key updates does make this a very iterative update at best unfortunately. It’s a shame as wanted so much more than subtle workflow adjustments
@@moviekidtechlife Have you seen the upgrades of other major DAWs? They usually implement way less features than this lol… I think Studio One has given so much in past upgrades/updates, that the users are spoiled and expect too much.. 💯
How's the remapping when you have a new computer in this version? Still that bad? I had to go trough every song, select the new drive for the samples and update the links. All my song had dead links and took a lot of time to remap everything..
Slowly but surely intergrating a little bit of the key points from all DAWS. Really making it easier for users to switch over without feeling like there's a huge learning curve. Nice glasses too btw, switching up the look a little bit.
It's a cosmetic update again... I'm still on 4 and haven't seen anything new from Presonus since, even 4 was not essential as an update... What's wrong Presonus?
Hey, how about "backward compatibility"? Have you tried to do following: - does S1 v5 support files from S1v6? - does S1v6 support the same controllers as v5? Nice presentation, cheers!
The new updates are welcomed but every s1 users know that they are lacking in the native instruments sections since version 3..A new synthesizer and some additional improvements to sample one would had been great ..
That’s for sure. studio one is way behind other DAWs, like FL Studio and Ableton when it comes to built-in ready made instruments. I didn’t realize how bad they were until I started buying 3rd party VSTs like Pigments 3.
@@gawel772 ya but when someone new to the DAW market is in search of one, these things matter.. It's like how much you get when you pay for.. This is the reason why still FL studio or logic ( in the same price range) takes away the cake for beginners.. Personally I want S1 to be @ the top, cause I think it is way ahead of any major DAW in terms of workflow and modern features..but for some one new they are still lured away by other daws and probably they are going to stick with them for the rest of their production journey.
Protools steps up with melodyne Ara and shortcuts/macros also reintroduces a free version and integrates Aux I/O streaming and more as a free update and studio one does very little as a full paid upgrade? I run both but something seems ass backwards with that
Protools is charging you double the cost of this upgrade annually so it was hardly free. Ara support, lol they are literally the last DAW to adopt it. Short cuts/ macros is hardly something to brag about. This update is weak and underdeveloped for sure but Protools for last 10 years has been about the same, always behind everyone else on features and they have a def ear to their base. Lets hope that Presonus expands this update at 6.4 and redeems itself. True multichannel support would make this update worth it alone.
Hi I have a question ⁉️ my PC has low specifications: intel(r) celeron(r) 2957u @ 1.40ghz 4 GB ram Intel(R) HD Graphics 1000 GB HDD Harddisk could these specifications run Studio one 6 artist without having problems❓
If you "Insert Drumset", does it have to be "Impact"? I mean, can you customize it to use a Native Instruments drumset or IKmultimedia drums or something?
there's not a single thing i really care about in there, certainly not anything id even consider paying for, and usually there's nothing that gets me more exited than a daw update.
Its not an upgrade its an update as Studio One continues to catch up on the rest of the DAWs available on the market. I am left scratching my head asking myself what new features I need and why and do I need to pay for them? There is one feature that I would think is CRITICAL thats surround and TH-cam now offers it so Studio One should support and offer it to but it appears its something beyond the capabilities of their developers !! Sure I understand staff need to be paid and Fender need to increase their revenue streams but this "upgrade" does not justify the cost not even close. Studio One is a great learning tool for beginners but once you get past the initial learning curve its whats missing that makes you upgrade but not to Studio One but to another DAW !!
My mixing templates that I created in Pro 5 didn't show up in the upgrade to Pro 6. Any tips on how to get them into Pro 6? Also once the upgrade from 5 to 6 is complete will it be OK to go into my C:// drive and delete all studio one pro 5 files to clean up some hard ware space?

The Lyrics Tack was actually added at the request of former Cakewalk users who were used to it for years.
In addition to the lyrics, I would like to see chords able to be printed as well. Sometimes you want to print out a chart for a musician.
