Thanks, Rimshot... more than two is quite awesome... gonna have to think on this... both daws have so many unique and awesome things.... And the more I've thought of the scratch pad it really would be nice for exploring new choices for song parts.  
 
The live stream was really a good sales pitch.  The bakers should do more of these, as Platinum has just as many uniquely powerful features, just different ones... I think Platinum is so uniquely powerful and don't really see being able to many things I currently do.  Plus, trying the S2 demo left me cold a long time ago.  Maybe it was my mood or lack of clarity at the time, I don't know... they say it's so easy to use but I felt frustrated after so long with the baked goodies...
 
Vegas pro is next on my list for the moment, anyway!  Gotta start videoizing my songs.... but hope the bakers reflect on some of these enhancements as they are really cool, workflow wise (could care less about the sampler, synth)

I use Studio One exclusively for the Mastering/Project View, and so far I haven't seen any enhancements in 3.0 for that feature.
Really, it's so good, I can't see what they could add without "damaging" it.
 
So I'll stick with 2.6 Producer for now.

 
The Mastering view is cool, but it would be really nice to be able to automate effects parameters in it.  At first glance, it seems this still isn't possible in v3 -- if not, boo.
 
Cheers,

Pretty much the same here. Midi doesn't seemed to be improved & is lacking compared to other daws.
For mastering it's great though. Not upgrading either.

You have always been able to do it. You just float the mixer out of the dock and drag to where ever you want including a second monitor.
 
Actaully on  27" screen it is so well designed you don't need two screens. It is so easy to show/hide the mixer with just one keystroke.
 
New version is very good. An amazing program has just got seriously better. Rock solid too.

Thanks for the info - might have to give the demo a go then - I don't think I could go back to a single screen now, whatever the size.

Crap....
 
It's what I get for hanging onto ancient technology.
Have a rock solid win XP system.
 
Downloaded the demo and hard halt on win 7 and above required.

 I need to lay off buying software upgrades.  Hardware is where I need to go.  X3 was to be my last version of Sonar. Well that didn't work out.  I'll hold of on this one.  The bundled instruments in S1 are meh. I wouldn't even try to market that as an upgrade feature.

Hey Tak T., 
FYI, the colors are now user defined in S1 V3.

 
Oh, cool. Thanks for the info. I guess CW now needs to work even harder to compete with this DAW.

Groove 3 already has Videos up...

Presonus has just made one happy customer! 

I tried the demo but Studio one can't recognize my midi sustain pedal from my Korg Krome. It is also a hog trying to configure midi controller A500Pro. Sonar never gives me this type of problem.
