Fender Studio Pro 8.2 - Discussion Thread

[Ken Morgan]

I mean…truth be known there are ways to get it done now without even taking a computer - pretty decent digital consoles with built in micro drive slots capturing waveforms…no need for preamps or anything like that…

But - i just don’t see the need for spending that kind of cash for something I’d use twice a year anymore. I’ll continue to party like it’s 2009

Who said I recorded "rock" music? But even if I did - still have little use for automation.

Oh my bad. Sry.

It's why I have a Series III StudioLive Mixer. I can record with it stand alone and it's an amazing control surface for Studio Pro.. yes, not a cheap solution, but the original blue versions go for pretty decent second hand prices..

Yes - good plan. But until you actually know which items have network checks and which don't - it's a futile exercise.

But now that I know what Ken is leaning toward with not being connected - why am I suddenly getting visions in my head about some other obscure version of Studio One (circa v4-v5) that did this exact thing.

All that version did was act as a recorder - where all you could do was capture tracking with little to no need for anything else?

Am I dreaming? No! It was this:

I do something similar with RME's Digicheck Global record. Its quick and easy to fire up. Noodle away and save to stereo files.

later if I choose I can drag the audio into SO/FSP and continue, or if having a jam with family or friends I just let it run.
RME are solid on so many fronts it's hard to knock them.

Yeah maybe that's all some folk need, a simple interface and the ability to track live playing. It's the stuff Al is never gonna replace, the human interaction whilst being creative together.

Now I suppose someone is going to tell me about brain implants and neural connectivity.

Kindest of regards

Create the simplest song that demonstrates this and file a report with Fender support. If you're looking for repeatability from other forum members, create a separate post specifically for the problem you are experiencing. This gives your post the greatest visibility.

I reported it directly to Fender support, thank you.

Look at it this way… occasionally I would get called for remote recording gigs. I mean REMOTE. 30 miles from a town with populations over 100, 10 miles from pavement. Cowboy gatherings, bands wanting to be away from every distraction. Electric service either from a generator 200 yards away, or a couple of times solar. This IS west Texas,ya know.

Anyway when I was doing these things I’d load up a MacMini, a small video screen, keyboard and mouse, a Presonus 824c and an RME 8 channel preamp bank, do my work. Haven’t been able to do this since dongles went away completely in favor of online license checks…at some point I remembered my Cubase 10.5 was still on their abandoned eLicense system, so it could work, but I had to turn down enough calls that I kind of dropped out of consideration.

All I was doing was capturing raw tracks…no effects, no cue sends, nothing

A Zoom R24 will cope with most of this (no video, obvs), and do it all on internal batteries - at least for a short time! No outside connection of any kind required. Kinda regretting selling mine a couple of years ago.

I have also sold an R24 with regret.
