I have tried Cubase 12 Pro and SO1 Pro trials and workflow is 100% better in the SO1. I would use the DAW for recording audio (vocals, drums, guitars, cello), a lot of VST libraries (which I dont need from the DAW itself), edm, mixing and mastering (good plugins for mixing/mastering). My options are now limited to:īoth would cost me the same ammount of money.Ĭubase 12 Pro is for me too expensive. I need to make decision about choosing the right DAW which I want to learn. All these little things add up.Greetings, I would like to ask you for advice. The difference between DAWs are mostly little things. You would think in 2020, any curve-based EQ would at least have the option to show the waveform. If you record on a Presonus mixer, the Fat Channel plug-ins are added and given the same settings you had in the mixer. Really mind boggling that they would have done it this way and not fixed it through about 6 releases.Īnother minor quibble, S1 provides the “Fat Channel” plug-in, which corresponds to the same function built into all their digital mixers. With 10 songs in the collection, this is honestly an extra 4-5 minutes of completely redundant effort. If we had that, then one could simply drag the entire folder into the mastering mode and be practically done. The files should be dumped into a single folder with each file inheriting the name of its marker. You will either have to rename the files manually or else rename the corresponding objects in the mastering mode. That’s really lousy because you have to manually import each song into the mastering module. I found complaints about this all the way back to 2013 and it still hasn’t been fixed. There is no way to get S1 to name the files based on the markers. But the big problem is that even though I have named the markers with the song name, S1 creates a separate FOLDER with each of the song names, but the exported file is simply named MIXDOWN. With S1, you will have to go into the mastering mode to finish up. Here’s the big problem with that workflow. Again, that isn’t terrible, just not as quick as what I can do in Cubase. With S1, there is no concept of a range marker, so the best you can do is add a marker between each song and do the trimming and fades in the mastering mode. And then I change the marker name to be the name I want on the final MP3 file. With Cubase, I trim and fade the ends of each song,use the P command and then add a marker for that range corresponding to the song. That’s not a huge deal, but awkward for an operation that can be very common. With S1, you can group the tracks, but you have to use a separate tool to do the splits. They are OK, but not particularly great.įor these live concerts, I want to deliver it as a collection of the individual songs (10 songs in this case.) With Cubase, I group the tracks and then quickly slice the songs using alt+click from the default tool. Because of that, I limited myself only to the plugs that come with S1 Pro. I did this mix in Studio One because that’s what the band leader has and I will be turning over the files to him. And to be fair to Presonus, a good part of that workflow is plug-ins from third parties. I normally do that in Cubase and have a workflow that is really quick. This evening I did a quick mix of a live program with 5 tracks. Regarding Studio One, mostly it is pretty strong, but there are some things that seem surprisingly off. PS: please, don’t quote whole my message to reply Couldn’t find anything like that, I know about Transform Window and MIDI functions though. I wonder if there is something that can color tracks based on name, or name tracks based on something else, delete muted notes, etc. This is what I mean:Īlso didn’t find something about logical editor, but maybe it has some different name. I have just checked some of the previous features, I can say I like the automation curve feature when you can easily make S line, while in Cubase you need one more do for this.Īlso I like that every track has volume slider, and in Cubase it is usually hidden, so often you need an extra click to tune volume.Īlso I kinda not able to find some proofs that you can A/B plugins and copy paste their presets, like Cubase. ability to create macro (like in Massive) when you bind few rotaries to one rotary (Cubase doesn’t have it too though).midi transformer that can transform input into certain tonality ( example).
