Just another FYI with a BIG CAVEAT so read and heed

Studio One Artist with some loop packs on sale for $49, normally $99 – BUT pay attention you need another $80 add-on to use ANY VSTs (or AUs or Rewire).

Presonus has this asinine marketing scheme that you need to buy a separate $80 package to use ANY VSTs, AU and Rewire- again there is NO internal support for VSTs in the Artist package until you BUY this add-on, enough said.

Which is why paying $49 is $49 too much. Particularly when Tracktion 6 is completely free with no nags

Actually, I find the $80 fee encouraging. Until now, to get Rewire functionality, you had to buy the full program, which was several hundred dollars. (Don’t know about plug ins.) So, TO ME, this appears to be a cheaper way in. However, the caveat is essential! Thanks for the heads up.

I went from Sonar to Studio One. The terminology and workflow are different but not that difficult to use. There are a number of instructional vids to watch. MIDI is not as well implemented as Sonar was but it is very usable and in fact there are parts of it I better.
I am still on the lower part of a steep learning curve however most of that is do to the fact that I used Cakewalk products for many years going back to Pro Audio 9. Old habits are hard to break. I like Studio One so I am staying with it. Note that I have Studio One 3.5 Professional.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

As a longtime Cakewalk user I switched to Presonus Studio One Pro almost two years ago. I haven't looked back. Even though the stock plugins that come with the Artist program are good you can get the PreSonus Studio One 3 Professional Crossgrade for under $199 on sale now.

Thanks for the info. I am looking to get studio one because of the ease of recording live with the studiolive mixers.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
