Do Presonus employees lurk here (even though this is unofficial)?

[MisterE]

No, Gregor was talking about the PreSonus Software team in Hamburg that develops Studio One, Notion, Fender Studio and other PreSonus/Fender software. And he's absolutely correct - all developers and project management members who worked on Studio One 3 are still there.

While that sounds reassuring, inquiring minds might wonder: if you feel that was an untruthful post by an imposter, why didn't you remove it?

Where did I say this?

Do we know how many of them are actively working on Studio One though? It's one thing to have doubled the size of the team, if most of the devs are working on something that isn't realated to Studio One...

Not that I really mind, I'm fine with the way Studio One already is, that's mostly out of curiosity.

You refuted everything the guy said...which implies what I said. I'm not on the warpath, by the way, just curious, too, as I'm also fine with the way Studio One already is. Then again, I'm a guy who can happily stay on one version way longer than most people. I would think people who love regular releases (most, I reckon) may not be.

You have to look into PreSonus' history to understand that the PreSonus Software team in Hamburg grew from an existing German audio software company acquired by PreSonus Baton Rouge in the nineties, so that PreSonus could offer their own DAW with their digital audio hardware (preamps, comps, interfaces and the beginnings of what is now the StudioLive Series III eco system). The German team remained a self-contained unit focusing on software applications alone, where hardware and hardware related software development remained in Baton Rouge. The restructuring (awful word) now seems to have taken place in the US alone, so Studio One development is not affected by this at all, other than no doubt the sadness of seeing those US colleagues go. Hard to tell what this will do to the future of PreSonus hardware including the StudioLive Series III ecosystem though.

Not at all.

Studio One is being developed by the PreSonus Software team in Hamburg (https://presonus.software). The team has grown significantly.

@kvlt was referring to PreSonus USA / Baton Rouge. So it's not a contradiction.

To the best of my knowledge, all tools made for PreSonus hardware (such as Universal Control, Remote, Capture and even Firmware) are based on Crystal Class Library, the underlying framework and infrastructure of Studio One.

If Fender disbands the software team, they will not be able to easily support existing and potential future hardware products in the medium to long term.

Also, software running on a lot of the hardware products (mixers, interfaces, ...) uses CCL components as well. One example is effect algorithms (Fat Channel etc.)

You can see a scrolling list of developers in the About Studio One screen in the app. There are more than there was some years ago.

I counted 14 listed there. I ran Studio One 3 and counted 7 in that list.
