Studio Pro 8 - Discussion Thread

[Vocalpoint]

My point is, it is very typical that when one company buys another, they start screwing with the original product that was working just fine and eventually it stops working to the satisfaction of many of the original loyal customers who end up with a product that they don't want!

Where - does it say you are required to buy, upgrade or do anything?

If you are happy with SO7 and your Atom - use them and carry on.

Seems like you are going off on a bit of rager here for reasons unknown.

*A little example...
Yesterday when I was working on a song, I had inserted in a track an Acustica plugin.
It was working just fine. Then to sculpt better the sound of that track, I inserted a Fabfiltel Pro-Q4 just before the Acustica plugin.
The Acustica plugin started to behave like bypassed. I move the Pro-Q4 after the Acustica and the sound behaviour became normal.

I'm not sure if it's related but have you noticed FF ProQ4 is not detected in any shape or form parameter wise in the new track over veiw but ProQ3 is picked up. Just something I noticed. I wonder if ProQ3 would of reacted the same with the AA plugin in your case. There's definitely something off with certain plugin chains with regards to passing audio atm. It's above my pay grade but do you think it might be something to do with oversampling from one plugin to another in the same chain.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue in Studio Pro 8 while using Steinberg Spectralayers in ARA mode? It's absolutely awful — I can't work like this.

I’m having the same bug with NoiseWorks VoiceAssist, also via ARA.
The first time I add it to a clip, it sometimes works, but every time I try to open VoiceAssist again afterward to change any settings, the window just stays black.

Anyone else has problems with freezes with "Export Mixdown" after installing Fender Studio Pro 8?

On Windows: After exporting larger sessions, Studio Pro finishes the export and opens the target folder in Explorer, but then the GUI becomes completely unresponsive (export modal seems not released). App isn’t crashed (CPU/RAM still active, even autosaves), but UI thread is blocked and only Task Manager can close it.

Smaller exports often work. Happens across S1 6/7/Pro 8. Not plugin-specific.

Extra clue: While Studio One is stuck and Explorer is open, I cannot drag & drop the exported WAV into RX or other apps. The moment I kill Studio One, drag & drop works again → looks like a Shell/OLE deadlock after opening Explorer.

Only recent system changes: Fender Studio Pro install broke VEGAS Pro 21, so I had to reinstall/update VC++ redistributables. No recent Windows Updates.

Did anyone else see this or find a fix?

Quick check, are you running any of your apps as administrator, if so,.don't.

It's working just fine here. What kind of problem are you having and what version is it? As matter of fact all my ARA plugins are working as they should.

By default, neither Studio One nor RX are running elevated on my system. I also tested running Studio One as administrator, but the issue still occurs.

DynAssist and Melodyne also work fine for me. I only get the “black screen” with VoiceAssist. It works correctly in Pro Tools though.

I also see that you’re on macOS, which could affect the behavior.

Try enabling High DPI Mode

Does anyone know where the multi-out buttons for instruments have gone?

Never run as administrator, unless you have some issue authorising legacy plugins (and only temporarily).

Anyway thanks for clarification.

Drag and drop issues like you specifically explained often points to a permissions issue.

You might try creating a new basic user account and seeing if it works from there. Another thing to try is full reinstall of all the applications you are using which will hopefully refresh file permissions.

Is this what you are after?

Yes, I already found it. It used to be in the plugin window, and it was convenient, but now you have to make a bunch of clicks, then find this VST instrument (and if there are a lot of them with the same name, the task becomes even more complicated).This is the most stupid change.

Oh dear, I'm afraid I cannot help you with that one.

EDIT:
I'm still using ver 7 but loaded up SP8 and did another check there is a dropdown on the instrument, is this what you need...
Hope this helps.

Suggestion: As we've reached the point that discussions are more about specific functions, let's start new threads each focused on a specific issue/function. This should get each item better visibility.

I volunteered for the beta-testing phase of VoiceAssist. This was also a bug back then . Support responded that it´s a known problem and they would fix it, but I never received confirmation that the issue was fixed. Using the trial now and it still shows nothing.

It took me a bit to find it at first (frustrating!!) but it's still there, just moved to the upper left of the plugin window.

Попробуйте включить режим высокого разрешения (High DPI Mode).

Thank you! I can confirm that the issue resolves when high DPI mode is enabled

Yup, can be frustrating, once you know where to look, it's easy enough to use.

Kindest regards.

 

[TheMaartian]

no one can really tell a difference

This ^^^^

I never enabled 64-bit. 32-bit has always worked great for me.

For sure, I agree!

I'm in this rabbit hole now of tweaking/optimizing my workflow for efficiency...something I started in December pre-release of Studio Pro. Now having to make some adjustments. On the plus side, I enjoy this stuff and am learning a bunch (I mean, that's why I'm on the forum!)..on the other hand, it's cut a bit into time I would otherwise be making music, or I've been getting sidetracked!

All the best!
