I have a question regarding Studio One. I am trying to nudge a friend who is a guitarist/songwriter to try out the DAW thing. He is attempting to produce a demo CD on an old school hard disk multi-track recorder (Boss, I think?). Bless him because that thing intimidates me, LOL!!! But he is apparently allergic to computers ...
So anyway, I recently downloaded the Studio One 3 Free edition to see if I could prepare a tutorial for DAW 101 with a free DAW for him. Hard to believe S1 is free. Good stuff! Wish this had been available when I was starting out!
I am a Sonar lifer, so I am not interested in switching DAWs at this point. But I am curious about what workflow advantages that there may be in S1. I also have Reaper, which appears completely functional, but the aesthetics of the GUI leave something to be desired. S1 is nice to look at, and the bundled Presence sampler library is a nice touch.
So do you find any workflow possible between Sonar and S1, or is it simply a matter of doing an entire project within one or the other?
