My advice to Mac users is to definitely install 2-channel BlackHole. With BlackHole as its recording device S1/SP won't pester the built-in mic anymore, and as a bonus it can record any audio playing on your system.

Thanks for the tip.
I’ve been fine until now with just selecting ‘No Audio Device’ for Recording Device (not Playback Device ) and not needing any third-party components; but I’ll keep it in mind.
This option has been freshly broken by v8.0.0, so hopefully they’ll fix it soon.

For those who have upgraded to FSP8, how are the color/saturation/contrast options for the overall GUI?

I'm still on S1 6.6.4 and like the default color scheme.

When S1 7 came out, many did not like the new default GUI and the fact that no amount of adjustment would enable getting close to the previous version's default or anything satisfactorily close. I know some improvements were made in the course of updates to version 7, but was it enough?

Does FSP8 make this better or worse than S1 7, or is it about the same? Any feedback is appreciated.

found another bug (the funniest thing is that it already existed with the 7.0 release)...sometimes muted tracks don't play even if the mute button is released) It can be fixed by disabling and enabling the global mute for the project.
Version 8 is definitely a real buggy.

Anybody else experiencing plugins sometimes not having any effect on audio, as if they were not inserted at all?
Seen it now with TBT Kirchoff EQ & PSP Chamber, especially when added via FX Chains made in v7 and when opening v7-songs.

I have a headache now.

btw there's a Gregor video you can find where he shows us his personal colors/saturation for V6 that I've borrowed and am glad I did. In other words, you may love it even more if you use even a few of his selections.

Link?

I have had a complex about colors schemes and extreme whiteouts since v7 arrived.

Would give almost anything to return to my "gun-metal" grey v6.6.4 layout.

I´m missing the group panel/overview in the mixer in SP 8. Really? Who thinks this is a great idea? Why remove this?

SP 8:

SO 7:

Group panel/overview only accessible via the tracklist SP 8:

No, this is opens the channel-list.

I´m looking for the group button, which seems to be gone in the mixer in SP 8:

 

[Wolfger]

Aahh, I got it. It changed location, and is in the mixer-channel list now:
Thanx for hinting me in the right direction Bob!!!

Really?

I just updated and I must say I am rather impressed. They have certainly improved Studio One 7 for sure with lots of things. It is definitely a worthwhile update.

Yes, I think so too - but there are quite a few bugs and omissions affecting people, so I'd hope that we get a hotfix or two over the next couple of weeks so that we can all enjoy it as it's supposed to be.

I agree its just a bit much to take in at first. The free plugin gifts are really good, its awesome they started improving Impact/Sample1 immediately, the amp sims are best in class and if they quickly fix the bugs I guess its really cool they put so much effort into continuing S1. This must of been a crazy project and if Fender has the money to really fix some of the PDC bugs with S1 I am all for it. I am a little surprised they went with Fender studio rather than S1 Fender but what do I know about branding.

 

[Jemusic]

As Ari said himself, same code, same program just a different name. I think its better for sure now. I really like some of the new features.

Sorry to be pedantic, but Fender Studio is a different app. It’s Fender Studio Pro here.

When I look at the icon on my Mac, its hard to even see the "pro" underneath the "Fender Studio". When I put the mouse over the icon, it pops up as "Studio Pro 8". This subconsciously tells my brain that the main way to identify this program is "Fender Studio" (which is also weird considering it could be considered "Studio One 8" but that conflicts with the icon popup label) Its fine to be pedantic, but it might be more beneficial to relay this info to the actual company. (I use an M1 Pro if you want to test the icon on the taskbar for yourself)
