Studio One / PreSonus craftiness

[Iron Keys]

Studio One / PreSonus (Fender) have been trying to force subscriptions subtly but getting a lot of backlash and people spotting it early.

They've now released their new pricing model, which is essentially a subscription hiding in plain sight -

$200 for full Studio One fully featured. However, in one year the next version of Studio One is released and you need to buy it again for $149 upgrade.
Subscription is $179 a year and comes with a bit more.

This is very disappointing and a clear result of the Fender takeover.

Typical modern bullshit. All these companies are going to do is force people to turn to cracked versions that don't need to be connected to the internet.

Wooowwwww

Man, thats disappointing, especially since Studio One is pretty fuckin legit. Its exactly as Fade said - its gonna force people to use the cracked versions. Not that theres anything wrong with that imo, but, Ive noticed that more people are inclined to buy after they've used the cracked versions and actually get to a stable spot to afford the legit version.

Cubase is currently 50% off and 50% further off for crossgrade (going from one DAW to another).

Tempted to pick it up, really cheap. Will feel identical to Studio One to use tbh. Tempting. Will have to look at what the software itself is offering these days.

2G you use Cubase right? What's it saying ?

I love cubase, it does everything I want. I wish pitch shifting individual chops was a little bit easier like Acid Pro was but that said, that's the only thing that bothers me. Good for production with vsts and recording.

Still have to pay for each update.

incremental updates, like 6.2, 6.5, 6.7 or just main versions like 6, 7, 8, 9, X whatever?

HOw often they bring out those new updates?
