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?

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

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.

I still think they're working on something significant that's taking time to get right. Whenever there's a fundamental change/addition to a program, testing and debugging takes much longer when that change touches multiple aspects of a program. And, perhaps the bug-fixing emphasis in 7.3 might be because in testing new changes, they uncovered various issues that needed to be tightened down.
I'm just guessing, but I've seen this kind of pattern happen before with software companies. So, I'm not worried. But I am curious about what's next

Yeah, this makes sense to me as well. Good wording.
I'd venture to guess, the business of live support, and sound reinforcement is fairly good. Of course there's competition as well. Studio One recently updated their Studiolive mixers to Series III SE. It shows they've been busy, but now that its out, are they onto some new horizons? Let's hope so. But I think there's some good signs ahead.
FWIW, the backlash from user comments that tend to worry or display anxiety of a Presonus pulse, are usually the same people who need some new major release, but haven't accomplished much on the last three S1 releases. That's just my read, from well..... what I read. : )
It's even seeped into my head, because I'd agree the last year Presonus' "sell" has been flimsy. Both marketing and results wise. But I remain optimistic about the Hamburg team, and the Baton Rouge crowd overall. I'm just having too much fun not caring or needing anything new. Maybe that's an indicator that there's many more overall satisfied like myself. We're simply using the stuff, and applying mileage to the gear. Presonus and likely the industry are in the midst of breaking new ground. Oh Lord, I hope that's not an AI road to hell.

PSL got all the resources they wanted, but the hardware side did not. Quite the opposite. I don't care what Gregor says. Fender 100% only wanted PSL/Studio One from the jump and every decision they have made behind the scenes reflects that. That's why Matthias took his API and separated it from PreSonus (CCL), which is now it's own 3rd party library that you can license, which happened 2023 apparently (post Fender).
