Always fun to see the features you don't get after paying for multiple professional versions of Studio One over the years.

Lead Architect is only available to Studio One + members. Even Avid give you the new stuff with perpetual…This stinks…

I can see where Fender are taking Studio One. They will eventually force everyone onto subscription if you want all the new function and features. This is the first time I have been disappointed with Presonus in the 10 years I have owned a perpetual license for the Professional version 😔

Presonus can't force me to pay for annual subscription

This update is more towards + members, perpetual license holder has no cake of it. These trends if Presonus continues and they if move towards subscription plan then I am leaving Studio One to FL Studio for its lifetime free update benefit.

If Presonus believes that we don't deserve the new synth and whatever else they decide in the future, then maybe they don't deserve our money for the next paid upgrade(s). Why are we upgrading, when everything we need is already in there anyways, and they don't deserve our support. The perpetual Studio One Pro is now officially a chopped down version and we are now second class users.

That is not the case. At the end of the subscription, you receive a license for the current version of Studio One available at that time. This license is not upgradable. However, by paying an additional fee-currently €135-you can obtain an upgradable version. The new synth is still exclusively available to subscribers.

If s1 goes that dumb pro tools route, I’m going back to logic pro. I think their main consumer base are home producers and recordists, where dolby atmos is the furthest thing from their minds. Most folks don’t want subscription daws but I don’t think they’re listening. If they force this down our throats I’m pretty sure they will see a decline in income 🎹♥️

No need for subscription. Should be 299 until version 7 comes out and then a $50 upgrade. That's how it normally works

Nice update. I wasn't expected something like this. It's great to have the macro bar and the lyrics track on every page. I'm impressed by the new instrument. I always thought Studio One was lacking in this department, so I'll definitely toy with it. I hope Mai Tai, Impact XT and Sample One XT will be improved too when SO7 drops!

Stock synths are relatevely weak part of S1, yet when they finally make new one, it's subscription only. Not sure what to expect next.

Great info Mike. S1 is really doing a great job with these recent updates. The hybrid pay plan is interesting. I've been with plus for about 2 months.

Thanks for the Video! This is the first I have heard the Fender Tone Master Pro Template and Interface. Looking forward to testing this out.

WOW! New Toys!!!! Thanks for the review on the new goodies!

How does one actually obtain the new synth?. I updated S1 and Lead Architect is not there. I went to the website but couldn't see it under downloads either.... UPDATE: it is only for ''+ users''... THIS IS JUST ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS REQUIRING A SUBCRIPTION IN ORDER TO USE THIS SOFTWARE AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS IM DITCHING THIS INTO THE BIN!!! signed, faithful user since V1...

0:57 Pfft. Yeah it is cool now but I think I actually bought full license over xmas, they had a bit of a discount then. I was subscribing before but it was a waste to me because if I barely used it then I'm just giving them money. I would have subbed to buy no problem but not now. I paid for 6 and that's where I will stay for years to come hopefully, it does more than I ever need it to do. I have been creating for years so going from 4 track to what we have now all in the box is all you ever really need to get the job done.

Really like the fact that macros has been added to the show page. Can’t wait to put this in to play.

Lead architect has a total UVI Soundware quality to the UI and sound. What a nice addition. Plus all the fancier stuff too

Definitely a little disappointed that the new synth is only for subscribers. :(

I don't like the direction this is taking. More towards subscriptions, integrating bloatware like Tunecore ect. Who asked for that? It won't benefit Presonus to be associated with these scammers. Useless like that Soundcloud thing. Happy about the performance improvements, macros and lyrics, but please Presonus, keep it simple. This one made me a bit uneasy.

Automating the out point of a loop set in sample one possible? Waiting for years. Would be awesome.

Cpu usae is a good update. I still believe they can keep adding tools, like multiband saturation, transient shaper, tape sat, etx just ñike cubase. Cubase is improving stock tools and studio one is going to the virtual community. Fender añso can improve ampire.

Thanks MIke, good video as usual. It was really disappointing that PreSonus misleads us by claiming a new virtual instrument is part of Studio One 6.6. It is not, it is part of Studio One+ and it was released during the 6.6 update. Hybrid is interesting, but too little too late.

If you're making music and your happy, that's all I care about man :)

not just lead architect notion isnt included in the pro version either.. im starting tio think i made the wrong choice in my daw. it might be time to change.

I have abandoned S1 as there is still no middle mouse hold and move in the timeline like it is standard in any other DAW or audio software I use like Cubase/Nuendo, Bitwig, Wavelab, Acoustica…

Hi Mike, after the S1+ sub is ending the latest S1Pro Version (at that given moment) will still be accessible, but it will not receive any updates whatsoever (not even the minor ones). AFAIK

I appreciate your balance in the review, Mike. Some reviews and comments have been quite vitriolic, especially about the new instrument being free in the subscription and not in the perpetual license. I don't care, as I have around 9 gadzillion other virtual instruments anyway. Same with the plugins and sample packs available only with the subscription. Many of the people complaining don't seem to realize that the perpetual license is still an option. I bought the upgrade every time since version 2 until I tried the subscription, which I stopped when v6 came out. I bought the upgrade again because I don't like the idea of not having a recent version if I can no longer afford to pay. The hybrid version may solve this problem, if the annual cost is at least close to what I would pay to upgrade every few years. But then again, I don't miss the subscription. There is not much to tempt me back. I also admire your diplomatic mention of the TuneCore integration, as your preference has been DistroKid (as will mine be, if I ever choose to publish a song). I myself resent this "tyranny of the default" a little. PreSonus should provide integration with other major services too, though there will always be someone ticked off that their favorite service wasn't included.

Reason+ did this pricing model too and I was gone. I'm still in mourning years later.

According to Presonus promo video for Studio One 6.6, Lead Architect is only available to Studio One + members.

I just got this message! non-updating perpetual license is the catch😏 Thank you for being a Studio One+ member. With the release of our Studio One 6.6 software update, Studio One+ Annual is now Studio One+ Hybrid. With a Studio One+ Hybrid plan, a non-updating perpetual license to Studio One Pro will be awarded at the end of each annual (12-month) subscription period, providing access in perpetuity to the latest complete version release of Studio One Pro available at the end date of a user’s subscription.

Mike, you dropped the ball on the subscription requirements which is CRUCIAL regarding this update. :-(

Just for instruments or also Vocals?

Any CPU handling improvements in 6.6? 🤔

I would love them to put pitch correction plugin,not to use melodyne

The hybrid price might bring me back. My + subscrption stopped when I did not get a notification about the renewal. So suddenly I had nothing - and as they then increased the renewal price I went away and reactivated my Cubase perpetual licence. Having at least the latest version after the subscription ends is a safety bag, so I applaud this.

Honestly I think all the DAWs are going this way. I'm really glad i learned how to actually play long ago. Only virtual instrument i use is drums and whatever is stock or almost free plugins

Still waiting on updates for the show page, mainly midi changes! I can't believe this has been ignored for so long. Building a whole show in the song page is tedious and tiring!

im trying to get back to studio one, but keeps getting error when authorizing the program, "301 error", i tried to activate offline but on the website keeps loading forever, im using studio one 3, anyone can help me?

Have they fixed the broken "dropout maker" mode yet?

I wish they would spend one release only on improving keyboard navigation.

Currently on the demo - considering purchasing S1 but I'm a bit confused. If I understand correctly, the only way to ensure access to Lead Architect is to have an active Studio One+ subscription. It does not appear to be included with any of the standalone versions and if you "purchase" hybrid, you would lose access to Lead Architect after one year unless you opt-in to Studio One+? Is this correct? If so, I'm glad I discovered this before purchasing S1.

The Studio One 6.6 update was rather disappointing, especially the notion that subscribers are now considered the A team, leaving the rest of us as mere spectators without any benefits as Pro users. However, that's okay; it motivated me to make a decision. I've been alternating between Cubase and Studio One for the past few years, and I haven't been particularly satisfied with either. I am a long-time Cubase user. I decided to explore Logic Pro X too. Today, I made the switch and I'm opting for Logic Pro X. It evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the early days of music production software-not necessarily in layout, but in its overall approach. I feel a sense of belonging and comfort in Logic Pro X. I have a feeling we'll become great companions.

Not been a big fan of the last few updates. Time to shop around maybe?

bad update. A veeery few music preducers use surround and atmos! And this subscription thingy is a bad direction, I hate it. Presonus simply can't build VSTis, the new one sounds like a boring 90s rompler synth. Fender quo fadis?

Einklang called. They want their three layer morphing virtual instrument back. Say... its... name... Eisenberg!

There is still nothing that is enticing me to want to upgrade.

Hi Mike, Just wanted to let you know I did download the new Studio One 6.6 Version but very disappointed I have the Professional level program that I've been updating since 2015 and have paid lot's of money to keep it current; now can't have the latest App they offer because all of a sudden there is a Plus version that I have to purchase yearly!!! Ridiculous! If they continue with this subscription nonsense, I'll regrettably be going else where no matter the learning curve. I hear Logic Pro is good. Oh well, nothing like crapping on your customers to send all your clients out the door!

Lame that Lead Architect is S1+ “exclusive”, which I’m willing to bet money means even if you do the hybrid license thing, Lead Architect goes bye-bye when the subscription lapses.

NO SUBSCRIPTIONS! I've already dumped Waves plugins even though they weren't successful in implementing a subscription model. I expect them to try again.

for me studio one is the closest to logic pro or x... its fast.. easy... quality sound and really great in all ways

They're taking the piss

I love updates

Fender is a lifestyle brand. They don't make any product better than some other brand can make, and especially not at a competitive price. I really loved S1 for the time I used it, but as soon as I heard that Fender owned it, I figured it was a matter of time.... I'm out. I have a daily DAW that I use that is really good and isn't turning the corner to subscription yet. Sorry S1.

Let me guess. Still no linking grouped plug-ins across tracks like pro tools and Cubase does in grouping options. Ugh. Linking plugin parameters across tracks is desperately needed for atmos let alone rhythm guitar amp sims… COME on Presonus. Such a simple and great feature when it’s needed. Should have came with atmos.

Presonus are on a slippery slope. I think that there will be a few users that will start to look at DAWS elsewhere. People want to own their products and not have to pay subscriptions.

It's not going in a good direction. The subscription is being pushed more and more, and Tunecore...? Come on. That company's in a bad situation now that they're being exposed basically stealing their customers' money and pulling their songs from platforms based on bogus reasons (Benn Jordan gives a good overview on that). Not a good look. I'm pretty worried about the direction that Presonus has started to go after Fender took over. It's the best DAW out there, but it's not irreplaceable. If they go the way of Adobe, I'm out. Also, the 6.6 update broke some VST3 plugins. I hope there's goign to be a fix for that.

Subscription lol

no lead architect for me the sucker who paid for every update since version 1

I cant even BUY the instrument 😮😳🤨

I am very disappointed that us Professional users have to buy a subscription to enjoy all the updates. I switched to ST-1 because Avid started this stupid subscription thing. Now that Presonus is doing that I may switch back or try another DAW. Sucks!

This new synth is only part of subscription. I have studio one pro 6.6 and it's not in it. This makes the hybrid subscription not such a goid thing. You used to be able to buy the addons but now they're studio + only. So, if you stop paying the hybrid subscription, you can't use any, not even by buying them as addons. Moan aside, good video as always.
