"Made in Studio One" vs. Spotify

[Craig Anderton]

I've been trying to figure out why I enjoy listening to "Made in Studio One" more the Spotify, and I think I have the answer: There's no algorithm. I've heard metal, lounge rock, instrumentals, EDM, soundtracks, world, adult contemporary, electronic, and more.

I'm one of those people who truly enjoys all types of music. With "Made in Studio One," I hear music from people who are passionate about what they do, regardless of genre. I never know what I'm going to hear when I click on a link. For me, that's a feature, not a bug.

Maybe someday Spotify will have a "Please treat me like a 'Made in Studio One' listener" algorithm. Hey, I can dream...

The difference might be that Studio One is a Daw that has been adopted by many old school home studio types. As like many came over from Cakewalk, Pro Tool or Logic . It’s not FL studio, Garage Band or the Bandlab App.
So possibly a higher percentage of musicians .
A lot of the focus of many Daw’s is to attract “Creators “. Not musicians.
I know that you and me were on the ground floor in the 80’s when this all began.
The Home Studio has become almost free and now to the point where a lot of “Creators “ don’t even have a single microphone. Let alone play an instrument.
But Studio one is where a lot of us who started with a 4 track Cassette recorder have ended up after all this time.
We are spoiled rotten and now the only excuse for a bad recording is our talent.

My local music store has a Akai 2 track R-R Im going to trade him for a bunch of pedals for. What the heck. It will at least look cool sitting on the bench.

I think you have a good point, especially because so many of the people here write songs so that adds an extra layer of expression. Then again, I do like the innovative stuff that some "creators" do - I think of them more as arrangers, and some are good at it. But a lot of them are hobbyists, so more power to them - music is a great hobby. However, they also need to be aware it's addictive

I'm hoping we get some K-pop musicians in here at some point. A lot of them use Cubase, but I think Studio One would work well for the kind of music they do. Granted a lot of K-pop is fluff for the teen crowd, but there's a creative minority of slightly older K-pop artists (e.g., Stray Kids).
