I don't know one guitarist who switched from, say, a Gibson to a Fender. They play both.




I second this line of thought.   I like variety.  I choose to use Sonar which is about 90% of the time, for what its good at. I choose to use S1 for what its good at.  And I am thankful to live at a time and in a place where we have Gibson and Fenders and....

The AR16 mixer will probably lock into Studio One better as well. The Presonus hardware and software is quite integrated.



therein lies the answer to the OP's question.

Ritchie Blackmore, the original grumpy old man, changed from an ES 335 to a Strat in the late 60's / early 70's because (if my memory serves me well) the Strat "was more difficult to play" 😜😜😜

Ok, sorry, i'll get me hat 'n' coat and be on me way ........

Here's the thing I don't get. Why does it have to always be "switch to" or "dump" or any other such thing. It's not like Splat will suddenly be rendered inoperable because you installed another DAW on your system.
 
I currently use two DAWs regularly. SPlat and Reaper. I mostly stay in SPlat for creative process stuff (writing, tracking, mixing) and for more hardcore engineering tasks that SONAR isn't as good at (intensive wave manipulation, intricate tempo mapping and I'd likely use it if I were to track a full live band due to it's low resource footprint).
 
This method serves me VERY well and in fact made me much happier with Sonar. The only thing that made me REALLY cranky in the past was when I needed to perform a specific (and often times extremely laborious) task and the Sonar projects would slowly become more unstable (because I was pushing it too hard in a direction the program did not want to go). Now when that seems likely to happen for a specific phase of my projects I do the work in Reaper then drag the files back into Sonar when it's done.
 
Also, if I had the money I'd definitely try to acquire other DAWs so I could have access to features/workflows specific to those programs (as well as for curiosity's sake and compatibility with other studios if they request it).
 
So my answer is...

Not to mention Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. But never mind, the point was a good one.

Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker, Larrivee, Martin.....

Not to mention 4 different Amp Sims and 3 different drum programs.

That would be Clapton then, maybe Jeff Beck too.
I have some live concerts from John Mayall anniversay, Montrieux Jazz festival, even Cream reunion - all Fender.
Seems to me Clapton has some fallout against Gibson almost - he only praises Fender nowadays.
How he even had a small Fender amp, and some pedals to do Cream reunion - must be something he has against Gibson. That sound on reunion was not even remotely close to Marshall and a humbucker Gibson he used back then - I was severely disappointed at that.
 
I have some concerts with Beck too, Japan and Ronnie Scotts, and never Gibson. I saw still photos of one evening with a ES175 or something at Ronnie Scotts, but those performances were not on DVD.
 
So they both seem endorsed by Fender and not allowed to be publicly with anything else.
 
I mean Knopfler do both in concerts. Mike Campbell do both as well.

Pete Townsend dropped Gibson (and Sound City/HiWatt) for all Fender gear (amps as well). At least he seemed to have gone Fender loco when I saw them at the ACC the tour Entwhistle died. I think that was in large part an endorsement thing but yeah... pretty epic purge.
 
Maybe that's no longer the case but it was certainly odd seeing the cherry SG loaded with P-90's and the HiWatt stacks completely replaced with Strats, Teles and what appeared to be a pile of Fender combos.
 
Sooper peeved I didn't get to see The Ox live. Dood was an animal on bass.
