Question

I want to be able to collaborate with other producers. do i need a Presonus Sphere account,  if I just purchased Studio One 5.

I thought that Presonus Sphere came with Studio one 5. A little confused on this.

Answer 1

You only need a PreSonus account if someone using Sphere invites you via your registered email address to collaborate.

However, If you're the host setting up a workspace for others to join you, then i believe you do need a Sphere account because the cloud storage is related to it.  At least that's how it seems to me.
