They definitely won't do that. V6 lands in a couple of days and that will be the end of V5 updates.

Dang! The graphical glitch of Pro-EQ is a kinda critical though. You should turn it on/off every time it happens.

On the bright side. V6 may include some fixes too.

I agree it's very disappointing that there isn't a final "round up" bug fix package for 5.

In my few years as a hobbyist using other daw';s and my humble opinion.

It would be plain stupid for a major release to be full of bugs and issues.Without being fully tested

I would expect some minor bugs here and there,.After all there is no bug or issue free daw out there as far as I know
No daw is perfect thats a certainty
But after the initial launch I would expect a bunch of small bug fixes and improvements after the initial release.
With further behind the scenes testing, and investigation while users report anything they find,

I just hope the Fender company gets behind the developers and testers of Studio One fully
and not just sweep issues under the carpet so to speak.

You should pay for the bug fixes

Aha, I completely forgot Fender is involved now. It kinda makes sense.

Jean L wroteI found the S1 6 trailer today and thought, "What? Releasing 6 without fixing the current bugs?"
Of course, I guessed it to come out by now, but there are so many bugs. I'm gonna stay with 5 for a while, so hope they release another update before 6.

First, what trailer did you see? Post a link.

Agreed.
Surely they'll be a few hiccups (notice, I didn't use the B word) as there are just so many variables among users' own unique hardware or even some general misses potentially in the programing. Let's hope they are few. Enjoy!

There will always be hiccups - both big and small. While I am very excited about what's to come in this week's announcement - per normal operating procedure - I won't be installing anything until 6.01 is available.

This is par for the course for all new major releases.

Cheers!

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, been using studio one since the beginning on a really old computer, never ran into any problems or bugs..

Thanks. Yeah, that's the one I saw, only I thought I may have missed something. The ol' teaser approach. 😍

Same here. It's standard OP for me to wait until at least x.1 or x.2. No need to be a post purchase beta tester. I may wait longer, product depending. Other software updates may prove more useful.

Ima do it right away, unless they changed it and you can't do side by side

I mean, why not? Get me feet wet, discover some bugs, check to see if things work, I have sphere. Long live sphere!

Quite certain that all the usual options (like installing side by side) are all available - but my reasons are completely different for holding out.

I am doing client work and really have no appetite (or tolerance) for any new functions suddenly going south - not to mention making a mistake and opening an existing project with v6 and not being able to go back to it with v5.

I distinctly remember how annoyed I was during the v5 cycle when Presonus suddenly killed S1's capability to properly read/playback Acid Loops - and then it took them several months to get it back again.

Like all software - there is stability and instability - I only work with the former.

Cheers!

Oh, I get it for sure. Absolutely no way should ANYONE think "hey, new, shinny, let's use this"

I just want to test performance, compatibility (especially my Nektar T4) and all the plugs. One somewhat annoying bug confirmed with Arturia Analog Lab just to see if it's there (I think THAT and others should have been fixed for 5 ) ... our OP for example

@ Vocalpoint: Same here, only on this outing, I'm the client. I would be really P'd if my engineer (also me) took a chance on screwing with my end product. I'm relying on my Producer (that would be me) to have a handle on operations for a successful outcome. It's truly a team effort.

In past revs, where I was working on a project and/or client, no way do I change up until projects are completed.

@ Reggie, you could run new and old versions side by side if you have the installations on your computer. If you are solely Sphere (I don't know what down rev versions you have), I'm not sure how that works. I seriously doubt you can run new and old Sphere accounts, but it is likely you could run one Sphere and one oldie. Is my guess.

That said, as Vocalpoint mentions, you cannot save to 6, and use that same file on ANY lower rev Studio One. I only keep my older revs (1 thru 4) for reference. Drive space is not an issue.

Couldn't resist this. Releasing software before it's ready. Been a trend for many years...

Well I still strongly recommend you all buy and install Studio One V6 straight away, so you can find all the bugs and report them to Presonus... so when I finally get the thing installed myself in about 6 months I will have a much easier ride.

fixing the bugs? is it a thing? running 5.5.2, I'm still fighting literally with the same bugs as back in 2017. I'm reporting them, but it seems like I'll have to accept them as my family eventually.



on a side note, where the grass is greener? cubase? logic? pfft
