So first impressions on studio one remain pretty good. After the first several days of playing with it in little bits of free time I'm still finding it to be stable, organized, and easy to use.
Some quick notes: The layout is very logic like, but the folder and file system with searchable plugins acts more like Reaper and Nuendo which I think is a good thing. Being able to favorite and create folders is a feature I feel is badly lacking in Pro Tools. Two non-negotiable must have's for me are the 1176 and LA2A emulators, and I like both of the better than the stock Logic ones. The BF blackface in Pro Tools is horrible.
The first thing I did when I installed Studio One Pro 4 was find the key commands and load the Pro Tools mappings which are conveniently included in the software. I still had to modify a number of key commands to get it to match Pro Tools closer.
Studio One's workflow editing and navigation commands are not as deep as those in Pro Tools HD. The tools are simplified for ease of use. I'm ok with this, and I was well aware of it ahead of time. So I didn't waste too much effort trying to get Studio One to operate on the same level in that regard.
I can't find any references to S1 having a node based design Midi design GUI like Logics environment, or Max for Live. I'm also not going to bother trying to get S1 to perform any film or video related functions. I'm looking forward to checking out some of the arranging tools, but I'm not expecting much from the score editor here.
I did get some of the VI's up and running. It took me a minute to figure out the drag-and-drop to instantiate stuff. But I kind of like it. Reminded me of Reason in some ways. Over the next few days I'll be messing around with VI's and midi recording, and seeing how the vocal/guitar take comping works. Another of the big questions I have is how it will compare to Logics audio editor engines. In other words....how capable is this DAW when you isolate a clip within a track, in terms of tuning, warping, time stretching, processing that isolated clip.
