Certainly no congrats are owed to me, I'm just a Joe-user. But I'm guessing they're popping champagne bottles at PreSonus over this release.

If I put my project manager business hat on, I'd be thinking about selling/leasing their stem separation code to people like RipX, SongMaster and DAWs that haven't yet matured this technology. But only their middle-shelf version; you never want to share your top-shelf stuff. It could be a meaningful revenue stream if done right.

I also like to think about and find info on what degree they collaborated with other entities to achieve this. I haven't found any press releases but my AI assistant says this:
PreSonus has a history of both in-house development and collaboration with external partners for various projects. While specific details about the development of the stem separation feature in Studio One 7 haven’t been publicly disclosed, it’s common in the industry to leverage both internal expertise and external collaborations to achieve complex technological advancements.

My guess is that they worked with at least a University, AI consulting firm, or a heavyweitght like Microsoft or OpenAI. It would seem to be a lengthy, expensive project to grow the required AI talent in-house. Kudos to PG if they collaborated with PreSonus, as David has said they are well positioned to do.

If anyone finds info on this, do share.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
