I did the trial and was VERY close to purchasing. The freebie UAD Showtime 64 amp sweetened the deal too! That amp actually ended up being all I really needed for a project I'm working on, and on guitar I'm usually playing (or trying to play) modern metal, so I couldn't justify the spend -- it's a sweet deal though! Really enjoyed it. I am having fun with Mustang Native, but Paradise really incredible (love switching up mics/cabs....so much control!)

I have a ton of guitar amp sims. I'm finding some really nice sounds in the Mustang Native. I wish it had a proper interface instead of a phone port, but it does sound really good.

I'll check it out MisterE at some point. TY. I'm pretty happy on the model sim front. Some of my faves are:
Neural DSP, Mesa Boogie Mk2C+
BlueCat Axiom, and Re Guitar.
Guitar Rig 5 & 6
Scuffham
Jam Origin's MIDI Guitar

A nifty small Guitar modeler I also found last year is the Katana Go2. Its very impressive.
I also have a Marshall Code 50 that Ill mic with Sure SM57, SM58, and Beyer Dynamic M500N ribbon mic.

It could really do with a UI update

BiaB 2026 has a useful GUI refresh.

I'm very upset that my trusted NADIR IR loader, which I've been using for years, is now seriously glitching. It randomly stops working in Fender Studio Pro.
And yet, it works perfectly in version 7, as it did in all previous versions.
I have tons of channel presets with it, and now they all need to be redone, or wait for fixes.

All the way into the 1980s - in dark mode! ;)🤣

Their biggest challenge? BiaB is coded using the Delphi dialect of Object Pascal. To truly modernize BiaB, they'd have to start from scratch with one of the variants of C. When Cakewalk upgraded the excellent DOS version v8.5 to the Skylight graphical interface (SONAR X1, X2 and X3), it wasn't really stable until X3 and then Platinum. I honestly don't expect PG Music to go down that path anytime soon. But heh, maybe they'll surprise us. Maybe they're working on a modern GUI in the background while giving us the normal annual upgrade each December to keep the revenue stream alive. This is one reason why I'm going to give Tonalic Studio a try.
 
I'm only teasing. I'm very fond of BIAB, and have used it for 30 years or so - not often, but enough to justify the occasional update (most recently last year). If it was updated to look like modern DAWs it would lose a lot of its appeal. But I didn't know about the 'under the hood' stuff; very interesting - thanks. Oh, and I was a Sonar X1-X3 user too!
 
There is a glitch where some plugins suddenly stop to work in Fender Studio Pro.
I've noticed this happens when you insert a 2nd plugin on the same track or even on a different track.
It's totally random.
I have come to the conclusion that these crashes and weird behaviours have not to do with specific plugins but rather how the daw handles them. I cannot understand why an update which added some new plugins and some really good workflow enhancements, can break the daw's basic stability. That was not the case from v7.1 to v7.2
Can't wait for the next update which will resolve these problems.
I want to love my new FENDER... Daw!
 
*A little example...
Yesterday when I was working on a song, I had inserted in a track an Acustica plugin.
It was working just fine. Then to sculpt better the sound of that track, I inserted a Fabfiltel Pro-Q4 just before the Acustica plugin.
The Acustica plugin started to behave like bypassed. I move the Pro-Q4 after the Acustica and the sound behaviour became normal.

Very very good option here. But I am all "simmed" out. I did snag the Showman tho.

So it's not just NADIR, but some other plugins that have the same problem. This is bad.

NADIR behaves exactly the same way, randomly going into bypass.

It seems to have worked, thanks. (switching to 32 process precision)

Thanks Vocalpoint, do you know if this will affect the sound quality?

Copy and paste the following into google will give you some relevant info...

difference between 64 bit processing and 32 bit in studio one

I cannot vouch for the veracity of the answer it's just Google Ai doing it's thing

Kindest regards

If it does - you have super human (off planet) hearing capabilities :)

Speaking of why people may or may not move into other DAW's, I thought this was a good time to compliment Studio One's own Cinematic Lights (or was it Deep Flight One). Previously, I've been downright hard on stating those instrumemts are nearly useless, but I added a modified preset, and made many adjustments including the core samples, & envelopes, and I did in fact get a real usable intro and outro ambience to a song I wrote last night. So, I'd like to change my position about those two instruments. Its always going to come down to seek and you shall find. Scroll through presets and you'll largely come up empty. Work at it, and you might be rewarded.
Huh! What do you know, something called work at it. Hear that AI groupies?
Anyway, love-peace, out.
