I and am thinking about moving to Studio One for a simpler workflow. Can anyone who uses mostly MIDI offer some thoughts or insights? Good idea? Bad idea? Thanks.

Win 8.1/64, 16GB RAM, 254TB SSD system drive. 2TB audio drive, 2TB sample library drive, Studio One 3, Notion 6, Cubase 9, Sonar 2016, Too many instrument and FX plugins to mention.

Hi,

S1 3 is a great DAW for lots of stuff but there are still a few gaps for us orchestral composers!!

They've filled a lot of them over the last releases which is super-encouraging but still a way to go before they match Cubase.

I prefer it anyway - is a much lighter environment with good productivity which I like.

The video is not as sophisticated however you can still do large templates and make some good music. My main gripe is still the tempo track not being a linear thing - is so important for sound to video.

In my opinion for composing S1 is second to none - compose with S1, arrange with S1 and if you need to sync to video move it elsewhere - else S1 will hadle it all ;-)
