So me. Brian, first off thanks for the tip my audio is working now in S1 4your a Studio One 4 user. I own Studio One 2.65 and have S1 4 as a demo. I also have Cakewalk by Bandlab downloaded. I am deciding whether to buy Version 4 or try bandlab which is sort of free. I prefer studio one, but could save $150. What is your thought on Version 4 upgrade.
I will say Bandlab is not working as well as studio one for me with the plugin.
Rob I started with Cakewalk back in the 90's and Midi sequencer stuff before that. I had the lifetime Sonar X3 upgrade and I really did like Sonar. I also own Reaper and others. I bought Studio One Pro 2 and I really fell in love with it. Studio One Pro 4 is very powerful and very simple to use. Most of the stuff is Drag and Drop. The Chord track is way cool and powerful and fast. The Arranger track makes rearranging a song a breeze. Also Presonus and Celemony are the developers of ARA which is now included in Sonar, Reaper, and others. All I can say really is download the Demo and try it out. DAW's are a personal thing really and it all depends on your workflow and of course your budget. Bandlab is free and it is a great program. I used it for many years.
