Hello,
Good question.
The big problem with Studio One is that it seems to have a mind of its own; it only supports a very narrow range of computer hardware in a very limited way.
Another big problem with Studio One is, that the Presonus developers did not pay (or sign) in full the license required to run VST2, VST3, ASIO, M1, M2 (and even Windows WASAPI) algorithms or are ALSO ignorant towards the manner in which those algorithms were put to market.
The developers need not necessarily sign a Windows or Apple license agreement, but the developers also disagree with the 'closed source or protocol' of such agreements and the managers are trying to get a cheap deal.
Groot probleem, moeten we niet hebben.
This has brought Presonus in problematic legal area where the Presonus developers apparently know better and don't seem to care about customers either.
If you check the latest version of Studio One you will notice only 44.1KHz 16bit (Windows Audio) supported on much of the Windows hardware, and Apple not supported at all.
Sooner or later, a company that behaves in such a way towards its customers (because those are the ones that pay in the end) will eventually fade away and be replaced with a better one.
Hopefully Notion can be bought by another company or IPO that cares about these problems more.
Management solutions for Presonus:
* run Notion as a seperate music company
* engineers comply with market regulation
* implement hardware agnostic S1 software
* idealistic interoperability is not the target
* support M2, VST3, AU standards either way
* product is product, not a social network
Given the way things are going with Presonus I don't give it much hope though. Maybe they can become a social media company or make websites or android apps.
