Lukas Ruschitzka should be Fender Studio Pro's prominent person for product information and capability.

I have to say this. Lukas Ruschitzka should be Studio Pro's prominent person for product information and capability. Period. This has repeatedly crossed my mind and reaffirms itself. Of course his additional and specialized content is just as thorough.

Case in point. I've now seen a good number of the Fender Studio Pro videos from all major content contributors, staff, and outside sources. While I dont doubt each creator have their place, and audience, the coverage is always too vague, or seems to be a rush job. Seriously. This left me and I'm sure all too many others, feeling that we just don't know or have the full story on what capabilities are. This is vital because many experienced and knowledgeable users either with Studio Pro or elesewhere need solid, reliable information, fast. If that information isnt readily available, people move on.
The proof is here. I just saw this video "Studio One is now Fender Studio Pro" by Lukas Rushitzka. I almost fell off my chair and was honestly so grateful someone could add so many useful points in one pass. Clearly (and again), Luke provides rapid-fire, and thorough coverage that I didn't even know was available in this new release. While I'll wait a little on ordering, I love the new possibilities (finally). Now knowing how and where they relate. Somehow, Lukas meets the seasoned or knowledgeable user right where he should.

I'm passing this info to a friend who just purchased the Studio Live Series 3 SE, and that will no doubt be another sale. He's also a decade long Logic user.

Thank you again Lukas! I gave you another thumb, remain a subscriber, and hope that you ARE THAT GUY, to be the prominent technical capabilities guy for Fender Pro Studio going forward.

Please pass along any comments as to how you think Lukas should be that "fit" for this growing DAW. Of course, we know that here in this forum, but Lukas should also better serve a very large community that need thorough information, fast!

Thanks ahead for commenting.

shhhhhhhh ... he will expect a pay raise!
 
+1 on the endorsement!
 
Is there anyone from Fender on these forums?
 
Indeed! Tireless and exceedingly generous with his time, Lukas is as patient and calm in the face of impatience and occasional rudeness here in forum as he is profoundly knowledgeable and sharing of that knowledge. AND he apparently still has time to make music. I certainly hope he is getting paid something! I was under the impression that this forum was essentially a volunteer effort, but in any case, I am happy to add my voice to the praise!
 
Learning styles, speeds and levels differ from person to person and, hot topic nowadays, so do spans of attention. So I'd say nice to have a few sources to choose from when looking for information.

What does put me off in any video is rambling. Nothing worse than watching someone work out what to say and how to say it after the camera is switched on. No amount of redressing can fully cover that up either. Nothing beats proper scripting. So well done :)
 
I watched that video and, while I didn't dislike the new v8 product before, now I'm actually kinda stoked to try out a few new things.

New title for Lukas - VP of 'Splainin Shit.

This.
Exactly what could chase away potentially working people in the industry, when that's coming from....... ehm. . People attempting to provide something of some information. Horrible image towards the product.

Yes, some employees cover their fair share of users addressing beginner or vague needs. Basically, an ok thing. Only Lukas' information should be right at the forefront from members or would be consumers expecting to be fully in the know. A week or two later with such little info and they will either have moved on, being both uninformed or uninchanted.

Another thing I find and it gets a bit repetitios from new releases is that questions come up about the product where users feel an item is missing, only to find from sources here that they're not missing or can be handled a different way. Had the "Studio One is now Fender Studio Pro" by Lukas Rushitzka video been shown sooner, to a mass audience such as at the Start Page (within a fair amount of time), there would be less aloof, or guessed questions.

Anyway, just bumping this.

I'm not really posting here any more but I strongly agree. Every time I need actual information on something I end up finding it from him.
 
Lukas is fantastic. Gregor is outstanding for workflow. Joe addresses the people who are starting out. The mix makes sense.

Probably what's missing the most is v8 from a guitarist's standpoint. There's a lot in there that's of interest to guitarists, however it may not be as relevant to a big percentage of the existing user base. Someone needs to explain v8 to guitarists who are frustrated by other DAWs.

+1 here. Totally agree.

Lukas’ videos helped me more than any “official” walkthrough so far. Things finally ”click” when he explains them. Honestly, I’m kind of surprised he isn’t featured a lot more.

Also gotta say: His Harmony Wizard and the Scoring Tools are straight-up essential for my workflow now. If those tools didn’t exist I’d probably have moved on to another DAW by now. Presonus/Fender really doesn’t focus much on composition/arranging, and Lukas basically filled that gap for me.

EDIT: Forgot to mention his outstanding video database https://s1toolbox.com/tutorials
Every time I feel like having a little coffee and want to discover something new, I dive into the videos (usually one of Lukas’ or Marcus’), and somehow end up learning about features I didn’t even know existed.. Not sure where he took the time to add all these hundreds of videos.

Thank you, Lukas!

What's a guitarist DAW? People mention it but never really say what that actually means.

The mobile app "Fender Studio" was intentionally (Fender CEO Andy Mooney 2022 interview) created for guitarists: simple interface, very limited features and designed to basically just record stuff with built-in amps/pedals. If guitarists actually want more then are they excluded from learning a DAW like every other user group?

That's an excellent question. However, I play guitar and keyboards, and my reply would be quite lengthy. I do not want to hijack this thread, because it's important that people be aware of the awesome contributions Lukas makes to the community. May I suggest you start a separate thread on "What's a Guitarist's DAW?" I'm sure I won't be the only one with opinions on this topic! Then we can delete our posts from this thread.
 
I am a guitarist - I am also capable of operating a computer. Are synth and keyboard players more able ?
 
It's not more or less able but 'different needs' I guess, although I can't see how or where exactly. Amps and stomp boxes is typically guitar focused but we had those before SP8 too (if not natively then 3rd party). But apart from that it's handy to have more native options it will also fulfil expectations: Those who buy a Fender DAW probably expect a good many options for guitar/bass, right? And it's not taking anything away from all that S1 offered already.

There was some guy (cant recall his name) who addressed guitar info that was posted from the start page. So he's likely already in place. My point was, Lukas addresses features, understanding them, or where they are placed while combing through the DAW. Much as we all do. This is important over the snippets that the others do for their preferred viewers. I probably stated now three times that each reviewer/blogger have their place. What would be a great asset for Fender is to include Lukas in the early presentations of both a new release, as well has in-depth subject matter. This informs the masses of those such as ourselves. Not the newbies, and guitar folks (again, all equally important).

If Studio Pro is going to survive the long haul, its going to be people like Lukas providing greater depth functionality of the program itself, keyswitches, large or fine editing and such. And people like Marcus Huchkins where use of Studio Pro are applicable in stemming, or typical studio applications (large and small).

I'm not sure that could be made any clearer.
But yes, If I locate that video of the guitar guy, I'll include the link. Maybe Fender has a few lined up. What theyre missing is depth, and that could pose some crevices. Just my opinion.

As a guitar player, I don't see anything in FSP that makes it more guitar centric than PSP, nor do I see anything more included in FSP for guitar players other than another amp sim.

SONAR was equally good for guitar players as is Reaper.

Back on topic, yes, capitalizing fully on what Lukas has to offer makes perfect sense to me.
