Hope posting about another DAW is not mutiny!  Curious who has tried out Studio One (I have Artist -2 version) and some thoughts on it. I recently got it after purchasing a PreSonus interface and maybe I am too easily impressed - but this is surprisingly nice with respect to appearance, work flow, audio quality, presets, etc. It may give others a pretty good race. Not saying a conversion is in the works, but it is worth some kuddos.  Right out of the shoot, the singer/songwriter project template gave me some fx / presets that sounded fantastic with recording my acoustic guitar....

I have S.O.V3 Pro. I've only played with it a little (the same fior Reaper 5.0).
 
I have not recorded anything with it yet just getting a handle on the "mixing" aspects first. The arranger functionality has me intrigued.
 
I bought a one month $15 groove3 pass so that I can go through the S.O.V3 tuts before I really dive in. That was cheaper than paying $48 to own the series. I doubt I need to own the series.
 
I never expect to convert from SONAR but will use all my other DAWs, including Mixbus3, depending on need.

I use Studio One on my Macbook for mobile recording.  It's good, but I much prefer Sonar (which is in my studio)

Its a very good mastering app. I have S1 3 professional. There are lots of things to like about it. Sonar remains my goto DAW. I don't see that changing at anytime.

I also have Mixbus 3 which has some some features - I wish it would display larger.... Anyway Sonar is still my go-to even though I still have the ancient X1 Producer but I will catch up..!

Not many DAWs I don't have. S1Pro V3 is a nice all round program but Sonar remains my go to.

Imho has some nice features but midi (quantize specifically)  seems to not be as intuitive and smooth as Sonar. I have a couple of versions of Studio One on my system, the one that came free with the Presonus hardware purchase and a free upgrade that was given to me shortly after that, a few years ago. The most attractive thing in the most recent version (Studio One 3)that is an enticing incentive is the Scratch Pad and Arranger Track. As for using your third party non presonus plugins in the base version, forget about it, thats a no go. Just my thoughts.
For me Sonar is an easy and obvious choice, in comparison. Depends on your needs and workflow of course.

I use a PreSonus 24 channel board and record into my Macbook live. But sonar is in my studio.  Very easy to transfer wav files.  I do think it has great mastering and cd redbook capabilities.

Several years ago I got a version of it when they had a REALLY cheap sale on. I remember playing with it but not really experimenting too much. Might be time to try and dig it back out.
