Then again, if Steinberg is successful and is selling more licenses then the amount of posts will likely go up as well. Ultimately, I’ll be keeping a very close eye on next versions of Cubase and Studio One, for now if I can get Cubase 9.5 Pro to not lock up almost every time I close a project … I’ll be happy ![]() S1 is relatively deep too, I find the MIDI in it excellent for instance, in some ways better than Cubase (the way CC data is drawn in is far superior for me). ![]() I think I could use and be happy with S1 for pretty much everything I do in Cubase, with some pros and cons on both ends. No worries at all, and I can totally relate which is also why S1 appeals to me personally. Moving to something else is more than just changing software it’s putting part of my past up on the shelf. I’ve grown up with cubase and I feel a certain affection towards it. But as I believe I said earlier, I do not take this change lightly. Right now S1 seems to be more in line with my needs. Still, after using cubase for years I don’t think I’m ever going to graduate to a pro level user. But I’ve always found that knowing there is always more to grow into gives me a good feeling. I know that logic would dictate I should get one of the more remedial programs from cubase. Personally, I probably only use about 40% of the features in cubase pro. But in my case that is probably a good thing. I realize cubase pro is a much deeper program, at least it looks like that from what I’ve seen so far. I have been reading through the presonus forums along with anything else I could find online. Oh and I should say that I’ve had ZERO stability issues while trying S1, not a single crash at all. You can also get a 30 day trial of the Pro version, which I would highly recommend before spending the cash. Ableton Live and S1 both are much more solid on my system.Ĭubase is a very deep program, honestly quite a bit deeper than Studio One in some areas, so it’s always a good idea to be sure you know what its limits are. It seems to be the most affected by bugs in my experience. Instrument layering is the #1 feature I really want in Cubase as it is incredibly useful for EDM production when building thick sounds from multiple layers.Ĭubase also seems to be very picky with plugins. I’m looking for creative tools, influenced from hosts like Ableton Live or Bitwig Studio. I’m still on Cubase 9.5 because the last two updates haven’t really appealed to me personally. In saying all of this, I’m so happy than S1 exists because it gives many of us a viable alternative if Cubase was to ever get too unstable or Steinberg were to take it down a path I wasn’t interested in. Expression Maps are more powerful in Cubase (mainly the ability to send Note and CC at the same time which is important for some libraries like Cinematic Studio Strings).I prefer the way Cubase can transform automation, there are some things I can’t figure out in S1 here thus far … perhaps I just don’t know how to do what I want here.ASIO Guard works a lot better than Dropout Protection, I actually recommend turning Dropout Protection off in S1.Ability to have ruler tracks (and see time and bars/beats at the same time).General appearance imho is much nicer in Cubase, and text is a little larger and easier to read (of course this is subjective).However in saying all of this, I personally prefer the following in Cubase: I’ve also noticed that plugin UIs open faster too. There are also just lots of little clever things throughout the workflow which makes it feel more polished and modern. I much prefer the single click to open a VSTi interface in the mixer compared to the long click of the E button in Cubase, that’s honestly quite clunky and annoying.A better inspector which requires fewer clicks to get to things.Tabbed plugin view (you can easily tab through all plugins on a track, how handy is that!).Overall, I have found it more reliable than Cubase (no lock-ups when closing projects, no random crashes) and there are a few things I desperately wish Cubase had: I’m also interested in this topic and have been trying out Studio One Pro 5. ![]()
