Opposite side here: I love the new look, resembles much of the Bitwig look.
After watching several videos to the new Fender Studio Pro 8, I have to agree completely to the cons from the audiofanzine.com review posted above:
As I expected before, this not a major update! Personally, I feel fooled for this. For me, this is like a small update to version 7.3 or maybe to 7.4 nothing more. It's not worth mentioning, and therefor it should represent as a free expansion and as a nice welcome goody from Fender. There is nothing more to say about it.

That tears it. I'm done. This feels to much like the Gibson/Cakewalk wedding. As another longtime user said:
It's not going over well with THIS longtime PRESONUS Studio One user. I used to work for Presonus. Been using Studio One from day one. I was even involved with it's ancestor Kristal Audio Engine. I'll continue to use PRESONUS Studio One V6.4 for the time being but it's time to find another DAW that's worthy of my trust. As was mentioned above Yamaha has been a far more responsible shepherd of the Steinberg brand and Cubase. I was a long time Cubase/Nuendo user before I became involved with Presonus. Maybe it's time to revisit Cubendo land. Back in the day Presonus and its users were almost like an extended family.
The writing's been on the wall for some time. I knew when they shut down the official company Presonus forums it was going south.

Ok, just read the release notes (I didn’t see Ari had attached them to his post) and am now much more confident in saying that this offers me nothing and I’ll stick to v6.
It’s disappointing but not unexpected since Fender have totally abandoned people like me in recent versions. That’s their choice obviously but I just hope v6 keeps working for a very long time as I probably will move away from this DAW when that breaks.

Come on, those mixer fader caps are awful.

Not really „awful“, but I get your point. what I really like is the new 3d look of the buttons and the bright blue focus color.
With a perpetual license you get all updates for a year, so if you bought it 1-11.9 months ago you're eligible for a free upgrade to Fender Studio Pro 8.

My plan ended 2026, just a few Days ago, apparently, i'm not getting anything.

Same here. My plan ended on Christmas Eve.
Same here. Audio Batch Converter is not available in the new version. Works fine in S1 7.2.3.
Thanks, but what I mean is that when we bought an upgrade to S1, it would extend the current licence by 12 months. For example, if one bought an upgrade licence in October 2024, and the current licence ended in March 2025, the new upgrade would add 12 months to the end, i.e. March 2026. That's where I am.
So, will buying a Fender Studio Pro 12 month upgrade extend the existing S1 by 12 months, or start afresh?

I don’t think that’s a v8 issue. I bet you would get the same error message with v7. My assumption: the code for the batch converter is integral part of the core application now, and not an external tool. So there must be another option to open the batch converter in v8.

Considering the hardware/OS requirements have gone up compared to Studio One 7 the changes can't be superficial only.

No. The installer you're showing is for very old versions of Studio One - probably version 3 or 4. You don't have to download Audio Batch Converter. It's already part of the program - since v6 or longer.
