I got Eventide Ultrachannel for free some years ago and have used the hell out of it ever since. Not sure Shimmerverb is worth revisiting iLok if you've taken a break. Ultrachannel is in all likelihood a lot more versatile, so I dealt with it.

Good luck! I've found the peeps at iLok to be very helpful.

IIRC, when you register the device, everything you're entitled to will be found in your MyFender account automatically.

Wow! Talk about in the dark! Me that is. I log on today and am taken to my.fender.com and all this. I guess folks knew this was happening, but I am a relatively new PreSonus Studio One customer (within the last year) and just dove in to using the software, not reading news, and had no idea of this. Shouldn't there have been some sort of email/account message explaining things somewhere? I am not complaining about the software. Studio One still works great for me. But I am just..... surprised. Is Studio One going away? Do we HAVE to upgrade to Fender Studio?? Where is there an explanation of what to expect as a paying perpetual license holder to Studio One and all that? It's like..... a new woman that I've never met before just got home claiming to be my wife, and she seems absolutely lovely don't get me wrong, I just... didn't know that I was married...

No, you don’t have to upgrade. In any case, v8 will be a separate installation from v7, so you can have both on your system. PreSonus/Fender don’t ever email to tell us anything about what’s going on!

I purchased the $99 upgrade today and my account says I will get updates for 3 years which is awesome.

My 8 works normal on Windows 11.

Same here. This is a very fair priced upgrade.

Yes, the detach arrow is on the top left side of the channel overview. at least on a Windows machine..

Yes, but that overall situation is quite unfortunate, and it doesn’t explain the “gift” tag of some free upgrades - as seen in the Reddit screenshots.
VP upgraded and ended with one year, others seem to have been gifted or are getting exteded upgrade periods. Yet there is nothing official as to why that might be.
It is all very confusing. I wasted a good part of yesterday trying to work out what was going on and am still confused.

Fender have truly F’d up with the deep and silent approach. A large proportion of the user group has been alienated by the name change, which came with no warning, justification or attempt to oil the waters before what was inevitably going to be a controversial move. Things will settle down, but a good few will move away after this - and if the hardware becomes ‘bargain basement only’, as yesterday’s releases might indicate, the motivation for staying with the DAW will be weakened further. There was no need for this ‘slash and burn’ tactic.

OTOH: when fellow users like @Vocalpoint state “l’m happy with my free 7.2.3 for the time being” and buy v8 on day one of release - then Fender has done something right

That’s perfectly true, but the overwhelming feeling among Reddit groups and under relevant YouTube videos is that the name change has gone down like a lead balloon, and there was no need for Fender to have upset the community in that way. A bit of prior preparation and explanation would have gone a long way to avoiding this alienation. Doing it after the event, as may well happen at NAMM, is too late.

Hey Guys,
As far as I've seen, only two people have reported crashes: Absu and wdkbeats. Could you both please create a separate thread where you write down the details so we can get to the bottom of this? From what I've seen so far, one works with Windows 10, the other has no information. One uses Slate, the other doesn't use VSTs. Then Mustang is used, but it is said that no plugins are used.
I would like to sort all this out to find out where the common ground is. The best thing would be to reproduce the problem starting with an empty session. Once I can reproduce your crashes, there's a chance they can be fixed. But if there is no information at all about what the problem actually is, then troubleshooting is nearly impossible.
Many thanks!
Ari
