No. I will definitely not update. Version 6 is enough for me. I don't need any more functions that I won't use anymore. As a 60-year-old amateur musician, I get along just fine with Cubase, S1 and FL.
Another long-time Studio One user here. The hybrid license terms are.... interesting. It is still a subscription for those who want to stay current. What I don't like is the upgrade pricing. I've been using Studio One Pro since verison 4,, and folks who have the lowest version are paying the same upgade price as I would?? Where is the loyalty to those who have been Pro for years? I feel like $149 is too much, although we dont' really know what we are getting. From the leaked screen shots it doesn't look like a compelling update for me; I have no need for stem seperation. The $149 upgrade to Version 6 did little for me as well. I am thinking of moving to Ableton, which I have a license to. I'll keep Studio 6 as I can use the mastering pages. But my day-to-day DAW may not be Studio One going forweard.
@@lousyracuse I can understand but why Ableton it actually cost more and has a higher upgrade fee..🤔 I would say just keep what you have until they come with something that will spark you to upgrade... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
@@ylamoon they are trying to stream line the product so that there are no more disputes about tiers you get what I get to force everyone on the same path... If that makes sense... We will see how it goes I might get it myself but we shall see...😀🙏🏾
@@ylamoonbut why ain't pro users understand they are getting all of the S1 products which are not included in the pro version. why are pro users feeling so entitled....if they don't like the offering they should move on to another product.
I don't have a problem with subscriptions - I tried Studio One Sphere (as it then was) but found I didn't really use all the extra features, loops and sounds. So I bought a perpetual licence for version 6. I'm happy with what I've got, but if v7 offers me functionality that I "must have", I'll be happy to pay to upgrade. Then I'll review every two years and see if another upgrade is worth it. I think the new pricing model is pretty reasonable.
@@grahamtruckel agreed ... I think it's reasonable but some are not liking it at all and I don't see why... It's cheaper than than Ableton .. Cubase ..bigwig.. and ProTools and they will do 4 updates a year and you get to keep it with the perpetual license and you can cancel it and still keep your license not sure what the issue is...😀🙏🏾
@@grobinson9352 Cubase has a tier system and they are more expensive than Studio One... I have heard good things about mixcratf I might need to check it out one of these days...😀🙏🏾
Long time Studio One user here. It's a great program but I've come to realise I don't make enough money from music for me to justify constantly paying for upgrades. I want to be in the latest version but seriously, I can't name many features added since version 2 that really has made a true difference for me. Even though there was some good stuff. So I'm not upgrading. I'll either stay on 6.5 as long as it can run on my OS. After that who knows..
I have been using Studio One since Version 5 and I have been using the subscription since version 5.5> Personally it has exceeded expectation of all my needs. I have tried a lot of other DAWs in the past and to me Studio One blows the others away hands down.
I think Studio One is a good DAW I have seen many people use it... I have seen people say it is buggy at times but all in all a good DAW. It sounds like you will continue with the Studio One subscription and that's cool I don't see an issue with it but many do... Good luck with the subscription... Thanks for the comment...😀🙏🏾
I have been on Studio One since Version 3. I have no problem with Artist versions paying same upgrade price. Those people are not hurting me. I can never hate in another man's come up if it is not hurting me. I know I have benefitted from sale prices or freebies of products othera paid full price for. I got what I willingly paid for and have been satisfied . I feel bad that I have one less free option to suggest as a possibility to beginners. I see the new pricing model as a compromise of maintaining perpetual licensing . $149 is the usual upgrade price. The only thing they are "taking away" is the extra year of free upgraded features in between version numbers. The tradeoff is perpetual users will get many add-ons previously available as paid or subscription-only add-ons. I think Presonus made a huge mistake in not showcasing details like new features and full list of add-ons that will be available. Leading with pricing change is a good way to derail excitement.
@@rano12321 yea that's kinda the idea... If you are a person that likes updates and features then I say go for it annually but if not just pay the one year and keep what you get... I think that's a fair deal...😀🙏🏾
Its a NO for me. I spent a small fortune on Pro tools years ago, then moved to Cakewalk, then to Reaper and have been using it for almost two years now and it does everything I need and more!

Cubase Pro Competitive Crossgrade $ 164.71 @best services better value for bucks. Just upgraded to S1 Pro 6 about a year. This new model cost for current pro user sux. I rather get Cubase for now.
@@sagsounds4509 I don't understand why you think it sucks... You can still do perpetual license for under 200.00 and you get a bonus of 4 updates through 2025 .. I don't see the issue if you buy Cubase and the decided that they want to release 14 next year you will have to pay 200.00 to update it again..🤔
They are not forcing you to upgrade you have the option to stop at any time and you still get the perpetual license for the current version so you can just keep what you have.. I don't really see the issue people have with this...🤔
@XELOhh1 Let me clarify! They are forcing you to upgrade yearly to continue receiving new features. You can still use the DAW but without updated features. Given the price they are charging for their annual feature updates, it is a less affordable DAW, in my opinion. They have adopted the highly unpopular Waves Update Model.
@@XELOhh1 I have Cubase Pro 13 and yes , it cost more but worth the money. I did use Studio One but is has to many bugs. And now this stupid subscription plan, new versions every year so that means that subscription will never end if you want to stay up to date. No thank you. This Steinberg ex-workers who create Studio One should take more attention to the customers.
@@MrSimonjan78 it's kinda the same as getting Cubase or any other DAW except FL Studio... They put out a newer version and charge you 200 bucks for the upgrade... I don't really see the issue with this plan if you feel you don't need the update don't pay for that year you will still have the perpetual license for the DAW to use it as long as you want...🤔

I just don't understand why pro version users and artist version users pay the same price for the upgrade. That's unfair.
