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

[Craig Anderton]

My point was, Lukas addresses features, understanding them, or where they are placed while combing through the DAW.

Understood! Yes, I can easily see Lukas as the "point man" for giving the big picture on v8. This is particularly true because he can present a wide sweep of topics in a compact format. (My comments about Gregor and Joe weren't to contradict what you said, but to add to it.)

I started a thread in the Lounge on what makes a DAW suitable for guitar players. I really didn't mean to derail this thread, it was a passing comment about something else that I feel needs to be covered with respect to v8 that I suspect Lukas won't be prioritizing (although maybe he plays guitar and I just haven't noticed).

So much so, that from at least my standpoint, (and I'm sure others as well), the actual workflow, we DAW users experience typically at every sit down, is clear towards the application. Heck, I didnt know tabs could be swapped so freely, from the new channel strip plugin view (the way he shows that). That's not info from Gregor, and certainly not from Joe. That and and a slew of subtle movements within the DAW, Inspector view, and such are where we users live. Not bulleted features. Had I not seen that video so rich with content, I might have (and did) consider distancing myself as time moved on. Now, not so much. [TY, Lukas!]

(My comments about Gregor and Joe weren't to contradict what you said, but to add to it.

Understood, but at that juncture, you left Lukas as "fantastic". That's it.
That's where I commented.

You stated what you felt is missing the most from v8 from the guitarist's standpoint. That's fair on a whole. The guy I mentioned BTW is Joey Bircham. Guitarist, Producer, Engineer. That last title unfortunately thrown around like a rag doll in this industry, so we'll have to see. His video was fairly good on the Fender Mustang, Rumble bass, and native plugins.

I'm all for Fender's endeavor to expand their eco system horizons. Still, what I'd like to see occur is that Studio Pro 8 continue to grow from an already vast group of users (of diverse age and background), who are already looking to see the program expand from Studio One 7. These might include EDM, Ambient, Electronica, and such areas that push the MIDI editing envelope and launcher as well. Not the nearest pedal stomp box. Its my opinion, as well as yours, and a good number of folks who know Luke is that ideal DAW function point guy. Gregor also in a less deep, but still excitable way as well. Only Gregor surface dives. Lukas puts on the deep see diver outfit.

Lukas may expand on anything he wants (talented guy), but he likely knows where his talents bode best for the good of all. I guess you missed where Lukas mentioned in this very video [7:03] that he's not a guitar player but that he still ran the Rhodes through some effects an enjoyed them. Something keyboardist do on many levels. Fun stuff!

Yeah, when I can I'd like to read your article on what makes a DAW suitable for guitar players. Talk then.

I think there's a general lack of educational content for intermediate to advanced users. The only people I know who do this type of content are Lukas, Marcus and maybe Max Konyi. Gregor has some good stuff too but lately he focuses a lot on bridging the beginner to intermediate gap and introducing new features. Joe is perfect for beginners, which is good but it also means he necessarily has to repeat a lot. Most other youtubers who do instructional videos usually don't know the software enough to give useful information beyond the very basics. It's a shame because this DAW has a lot of amazing features and is flexible enough to accommodate most workflows, but most advanced and interesting features don't usually get much love. I've been thinking about making a youtube channel myself, haven't decided if I should do it in Spanish or in English yet.

Good call. You, like many would like to see the product build on intermediate to advanced users.

I wonder how many companies beside Fisher Price Toys, that dont support the growing with, or people in it for the long haul.

Studio One, and now Studio Pro will both be faced with the growing development. A good front man will connect with the team to convey those next steps in development seasoned or even new users are looking for. After all, its the users spending actual working time at the wheel. Through time, we often see greater use of workflow.

Yes, and Marcus stopped releasing videos in 2024 (at least on his public channel). That’s a shame.

Agreed. And Lukas has actually worked on a lot of Studio One features himself, which already puts him in a different league. Especially now with Fender and Studio Pro, having someone like him as a visible reference would go a long way in building confidence for power users.

I really love the content from Lukas, and of course from Gregor and Joe. Gregors short takes on a specific topic are amazing. Most of the other educational YT videos (in my very personal opinion) spend too much time to blow up the length to mention things you can say in 1-2 minutes.

S1 and SPro is my opinion still a very easy to use software with a great learning curve but even if you use it for decades (in my case since Version 1.5) you stumble across this very specific situation and problem where you want to go really deep.
And this is, where I miss the expert chat, which was for me by far the best feature of the subscription. There are some things, very specific problems and use cases where you normally don't get a good and qualified answer anywhere else. And the people on the expert chat were amazing, nice and helpful. I had such great conversations about production, tipps&tricks, problems, a short: "is this a bug or am I too stupid" question and so on. I really miss it.

That's what my PreSonus blog posts addressed from 2017 to 2025, but Fender decided not to run them any more and it seems the blog itself has been abandoned. I offered to do the tips as videos instead, but they already had a video team in place. At least The Huge Book of Studio One Tips and Tricks collects all the blog post material.

Yes! I have been thinking this for years. This daw absolutely can be advanced and professional on all fields, but somehow the conception to the public eye is somehow pointed towards hobbyist level. We need more advanced content for sure, marcus huyskens is missed. For example marcus was the only youtuber who could explain drum editing workflow using slicing, in a way that was thorough enough to satisfy more advanced users. On a topic Lukas is absolutely awesome too.

I’ve watched a lot of Studio One content over the years, and Lukas’ videos are consistently the ones where something really clicks for me. It’s less about which exact button to press and more about understanding why Studio One works the way it does. For advanced users, that’s invaluable. And for new users, it prevents a lot of frustration early on.

If Studio Pro is looking for someone who represents depth, long term thinking, and respect for power users, Lukas feels like an obvious choice. He does an excellent job bridging developer thinking and real world production workflows. I didn’t realize for a long time that Lukas is actually the developer of several MIDI features in Studio One. I knew PreSonus brought him in as a MIDI specialist but Gregor mentioned to me that Lukas took things like the macro toolbar to a whole new level.

More videos on power-user features from Lukas please. Absolutely.
