If you do a lot in MIDI and notation, be aware this looks like a problem in Studio One. I could be wrong though; my trial of many DAW candidates to replace SONAR has been too fast.

What about their Notion program?

Bob

Yes, good point. I have looked at that. I'm not looking for a score printing program like Notion in my DAW; I'm looking for a DAW that can show notation for composing and editing within the DAW.

And I want one that has remote control of the transport and arming via iPad.

Mario, do give us a report when you are ready.

Matt, I know you're all over notation so I'll just point out PreSonus talks about tighter integration inside Studio One in the latest version but you may know that already.

Bob

Thanks, Bob. I do know a lot, but the hard part is keeping up! I appreciate any of these tips.

Matt, you might want to read this regarding Studio One and Notion integration:

Very helpful. That explains why I didn’t find notation in Studio One.

Will do but it will take awhile. Super busy week coming up.

hey mariod check out jrrshop 125.00 for same software good for the future buys eric

Thanx Eric but I saw that after I have already purchased it for $149. I didn't think it would go any cheaper! I think this should be a song "Screwed Again"!

LOL - Mario you knwo this time a year you MUST CHECK ALL THE ONLINE SHOPS first


MATT

Not to push you to Presonus as a possible suitable-sub for Sonar but Notation 6 is only $49 to "crossgrade" from Studio One 3 ($79 from things like Finale or Sibelius) you MIGHT be able to get a PACKAGE deal (SO3 and N6) if you email them I don't know

and finally FWIW's the $126 for SO3 is still a good price at JRR shop

https://www.jrrshop.com/presonus-studio-one-professional-crossgrade-v3

it lists $149 on page but when you add to cart there is an additional 22.35 discount in the cart (I do like to buy at JRR they usually add additional in cart discounts.

Thanks for the tip.

At the moment, I’m exploring Mixcraft. I’m ok on notation software, as a former two-decade beta tester for another product.

Good luck I think Mixcraft will surprise you but ....

you might even TRY FL12

PS FWIW I don't think you are a VA or synth tweaker geek (?) but Mixcraft Pro version comes with ME80 Version 2 (a good clone of a CS-80, think Blade Runner a la Vangelis); however, that is NO REASON to buy the pro version. You can get a good CS80 clone for free elsewhere or spend $40 and buy the ME80 clone direct from Memeorymoon
