Many professional studios around the world consider Studio One, as I do, the best DAW on the market. I highlight its sound quality which is second to none – a sound that inspires. The sound of Studio One has soul and feeling.
What stops those professionals to jump to Studio One is the comfort that they have with Avid’s S6 and now also the S4 both. The S4 has everything that the S6 has only in a more compact form, geared more towards music creation, mixing, mastering and post production including Dolby Atmos surround, etc.
Six years ago, I bought an SSL Matrix simply to control Studio One. Now I bought an Avid S4. After speaking with Avid, they told me that the EUCON protocol is completely at the disposal of the manufactures of all DAWs and that I should contact Presonus and tell them that Avid is at their disposal in case they would implement the EUCON protocol. Avid stated additionally that the EUCON protocol is at the disposal in the same way it has been implemented in Pro Tools or better as much as the DAW manufacturer wants a perfect implementation.
Studio One with this EUCON implementation would put it once and for all in the highest tier of the professional Music Studios.
The engineers and producers that use the S6 and S4 with Pro Tools will only switch to Studio One if they can use their S4 or S6 and, even though they are a minority, they are an extremely valuable opinion-forming group.
Kind regards
