Question

Hi i can't seem to find the VST Plugins tab for Studio One? Why is this? Does that mean i cannot use external VST's?

Answer 1

Third Party VST integration is not supported with Studio One Artist. In order to be able to utilize additional plugins, you would need to either upgrade to Studio One 3 Professional or upgrade your Artist version by purchasing the VST/ReWire Add-On; which allows for the use of additional non-bundled Third Party VSTs as well as adding ReWire Support in Artist

Here is a Studio One 3 Version chart breakdown of what features are included in each version of Studio One 3:

Answer 2

This is pretty incredible. 1200 dollars for an audio interface, and it comes with a DAW that doesn't support VST plugins out of the box? I'll be using a different DAW.

Answer 3

That's SUCH a rip off. You mean to tell me I paid $1200 for this?

First off, I had compatibility issues right out of the box, I had to jump through hoops to make it work with my current setup, a late 2010 iMac.

THEN, I find out that you guys no longer support my operating system, so once again, I had to jump through hoops to make it work period, let alone ONCE AGAIN make it compatible.

If all that wasn't enough, you're telling me......... that the DAW that came with it doesn't support 3rd Party VST plugins??? That's straight up garbage. I guess when it comes time to upgrade I'll be taking my money else where & telling anyone who asks to stay away from PreSonus.

FYI, Garageband, a SUPER BASIC DAW that comes ***FREE*** on all Macs... Supports 3rd party VST AND AU plugins. Ya'll are straight up ripping people off with that. $1200 + $200+ dollars just to enable 3rd Party Plugins.......... INSANE...
