Agreed, I’ve never understood why people point to Bitwig and Ableton as great browser examples. There’s tags and favorites, sure, but everything else is a little more messy and clunky in comparison.

I'd welcome slight GUI changes for sure, but things like Tags in the browser and other workflow changes would be further up on my list for sure!!

I'm going to take the position of someone who uses Studio One on a day to day basis to make money. I and lots of others like myself don't have time to relearn a significant GUI change. It would be like learning a new DAW and while that happens I'm not making any money.

It's always perplexed me how many users spend the bulk of their time in front of Studio One or any other DAW for that matter playing with colors and making things pretty. When I start up Studio One it's for one purpose only to make music.

I have to agree with that, except for the part about making money from it :D

What makes you think you have to re learn anything? Points have been made that nothing is needed to actually have to use Studio One for what it's intended for. If you don't like recommendations about enhancimg color, dont worry about it. Basically, I have the same position about just using it, but there is room for improvement. Improvement happens. Largely due to feedback from people who use that product or tool.

I think a good GUI nudges users to a more effective workflow. Rather than sticking to old routines you want to give it some time to get used to. Then if something in the GUI still keeps slowing you down you can bring it up here. You may get suggestions how to adjust your workflow in a way you hadn’t thought of yet, or you may get support to have something changed. But workflow has to stay the main focus. IMHO eye candy isn’t directly related to workflow and should take a backseat.

Reading through this thread I do like the idea of tabs on the Inspector, as I keep dragging the handles to see what I want to see there. So in the spirit of what I wrote before I’m open to suggestions on how to get to the various sections in the Inspector faster. If a better workflow isn’t available then we may start a campaign to have that addressed, maybe with tabs ;)

That is such a superior tone - I am surprised you have the time to comment on this thread.

Regarding the Inspector. I discovered that double-clicking the handle, will maximize that section. Double-click again sets it back like it was.

However the fader section has quirk. Double-clicking the fader handle sets it too small (after maximize). So I just double-click the lower section and don't fiddle with the fader section. This is just a tad better than dragging the handle around. I'm all for a tabbed Inspector with ability to assign hot keys to the tabs.

I really like the GUI. I use Pro Tools too and the dark theme is such a joke. I really wish S1 would show momentary peaks in the meters. I use the Level plugin for now.

At least they do tags,favorites, no one says Bitwig is perfect, but AT least they offer us ways to tag our own content, and for content creators, and production this is important. Cubase is my Main DAW until Presonus make S1 a more efficient browser. I know plenty of others that feel the same about S1's lack of a proper browser as well. I'd rather have options then none.

I'd love to see a fresh new GUI with 5.5, there are lots of things I like about the look, but in general I think it looks very cluttered, sharp and 'Line-y'. Could do with softening up maybe?

To be honest though, I don't like the look of any of the DAWs on the market, I think they could all learn from film/photo editing softwares, which seem to have a more fluid and cohesive look.

I make money with my job and I do care about the GUI. Also, you said 'a GUI change is like learning a new DAW and while that happens I'm not making any money'.

It's weird. I make money with my music, I took 2 months of break to learn Studio One after working in Ableton for 4 years and FL for 3, and I was also making money in the meantime thanks to my music.
If I had to learn a new daw, it wouldn't worry me. Some slight GUI changes are not the same thing as learning a new daw, I can tell you that.

Just wanted to add one more thing to this topic.

I think I would really like thicker autiomation lanes. Sometimes they are so thin that it's hard to see them.
Additionally, I also find it hard to select one automation point if it's close to another one, it seems like the automation lanes/points need a better resolution/precision.
