My sessions are quite large, with many plugins. I can provide a session file that causes almost instant noise bursts and consequently crashes.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

Not seen any mention of Faderports yet.
There are also two new MIDI controllers coming along, clearly based on the Atoms:
I guess there are going to be some decent deals to be had as retailers clear the shelves of the "old" Presonus stuff.

This might actually tempt me to upgrade from V5
Decided to go with it, install as expected painless. Currently all going well... I think I've been luckyOTOH: 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
Kindest regards to Ari and the team.

There's no evidence of the ES and HD ranges being renamed as yet, nor the monitors. The interfaces you link are all at the bottom of the price range, though decently specced. Combined with Ari's statement yesterday that PreSonus aren't going anywhere, there seems to be a realignment going on and it's going to be interesting to work out the new philosophy. I haven't worked it out yet!

I havn't had any crashes but having Slate FG-Stress on my drum bus is causing clipping and making the drums sound mega distorted (open session in 7.2.3 and don't have this issue).
It is to be feared that this will have to be assessed quite differently. 3 years of free updates from today could mean that Fender will no longer offer major updates for at least three years. After all, you want to earn money on the so-called 'big' updates on a recurring basis. Anyway. In particular, Studio One versions 6-7 and now version 8 were no longer major updates for me anyway. But in each case simply inflated marketing campaigns without huge innovations. Absolutely disappointing and unacceptable to me. It's a shame about the initially innovative Studio One product. I don't predict a real future for this software anymore.

Slate and S1 were not the biggest bros in the past. Had several conversations with the Slate Digital Support when problems occured where they've ranted a lot about S1. It was those kind of support conversations where Slate support said: "contact Presonus, they are in charge" and Presonus said "contact Slate, they are in charge".

Having watched this situation pretty closely over the last 36 hours, it seems to me that the intention was for the free update period to remain as it's been since the introduction of v7: 1 year from the date of registration of the purchase. It would appear that the reported 2 and 3-year update cycles some have received are an anomaly and may have something to do with how their v7 licence was obtained (by direct purchase or by hardware association), and whether they were previously on a Perpetual or a Plus account at the point of their previous update period expiring. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Fender contact these individuals to correct the expiry dates, as the Terms and Conditions they signed up to prior to installation are clear that the update period is one year.
Hiya,
had a quick scan for a download. Any chance you could post a link please.
Best of regards

Maybe, but half the producers I know are guitar players, and remarkably enough about half the composers too
Ramin Djawadi and HZ are a couple of high profile examples.
Of all the guitarists I know, the number of them who wear Fender T-shirts, apparel, or have a Fender bumper sticker is zero.
Just like Gibson and Marshall, they're well known to be corporate giants now and are thus firmly in the 'uncool' department for most musicians (This coming from a guy who owns a number of Teles and Strats).
Most guitarists are Reaper/Ableton/Logic/Pro Tools (also some S1) users and have a working knowledge of those DAWs...
I don't see them abandoning what they currently know just because there's a Fender tag on it, if anything quite the opposite, they'd probably actively avoid it, despite owning many of the amps and guitars like myself.
As for guitar players being underrepresented in the DAW market? I highly doubt it, pretty much all of them I know use one of the DAWs listed above... ten years ago maybe but not in '26. In fact I'd argue that modern guitarists tend to be among the MOST tech-savvy of players...
Maybe it's a generational thing?
Does refusing to develop or update features for the professional market (or 'aficianados' as the CEO calls them) not count as 'dumbing down'?
Studio One was always billed as a Cubase alternative in terms of feature set and that's where it largely succeeded, i.e.,
'Cubase but better and much less annoying'.
As a former Cubase user that philosophy certainly worked on me for over a decade as an early adopter of Studio One v1.
Our boys out of Hamburg had great work ethic, great passion for innovation, and by golly I think I was among the first to realize that they had actually bested Steinberg at the DAW-making game.
Fast forward to present day...given the dearth of feature-updates (sorely needed) and new features since v7 it's super obvious Fender have decided to abandon that creed along with its userbase and are instead remaking Studio One -- er, sorry -- 'Fender Studio', in their own image.
Incidentally, does anyone remember this little chestnut?
Back when Fender first acquired Presonus, we had the CEO yapping about stuff HE would like to see in Studio One and I quote:
"The simplest version of Studio One right now has a 150-page owner's manual, which I have said to the team is 149 pages too many,” he says. “Because you should be able to get out of the box, press one button and you're off to the races. So that's, again, a very easy brief, but very difficult to execute. But there has been a gravitational pull by aficionados to just keep jamming more and more features into DAWS when, in fact, I think you need to take away more features, make it simpler and more intuitive and less expensive." -Andrew P. Mooney, CEO Fender Musical Instruments inc., former chairman of Disney Consumer Products (DCP)
It reads like a textbook 'Boomer mad at technology' rant. The dude literally TOLD us he was going to do this and everybody pretended either not to hear him, or that he misspoke... but the first shot often lands the truest.
Anyway, I've read every jot of the release material, and the following items:
- Arrangement Overview
- (This is a genuinely nice QoL feature.)
- Metronome subdivisions
- "Transform to Rendered Audio" converts mono track into stereo track in certain situations
- A nice bug fix.
- [Score Editor] Note duration differs from Note Editor in certain cases
- Another nice bug fix.
15 months since v7 btw.
If we're at the point where we're celebrating merely because features aren't being removed, I think it's safe to say it's the end of an era.

Studio One remote is primarily for mobile devices and can be found in the Apple App Store or Google Play. There was apparently a Windows version too (for ARM-based tablets), which was on the PreSonus website, but I can't find it now.

Have always liked your style. v6.6.4 is the granite rock bed of this app (thus far) and more than once I have sat here thinking about a revisit.
Then again - Axiom 14c of the "How to get Work Done Handbook" clearly states - "It it ain't broke....".
Rock on.

Yeah I have the old version up and running in ver 7.3 on a touch monitor, but from what Daw Stew said there is a New Studio Pro version 2.
I am trying to get it recognise the old version but is not connecting to FSP8 for some reason.
Not to worry I am still using SO1 7 untill I am hooked into the New "SO1 8" .
Kindest regards
