Thanks Ivan, good stuff as always. As a looong time S1 user, I must admit that their continued focus on the mix and master side of the equation is disappointing. After version 5 did little for beat makers or producers, I was hoping 6 would give us something to get excited about. I was about to join Sphere, but with 6, I put that off again. I understand that their focus is and has always been the studio engineer and the studio musician, and that hardware is a core part of their business. I was just hoping they would add something interesting to the digital creator side. That being said, and IMHO, I still believe Studio One is the strongest DAW out there and it has been for years. And while it is arguably now well ahead of much of the competition, unfortunately it is rapidly adding features and gaining ground in places that are not that important to someone like me. I have all the video editors, EQs, vocoders and collaboration tools I need, and those feel like point release features. What I want are more interesting ways to create music, not just incremental improvements in the polishing and package of it. So for me, I'll hold off on 6, see what comes up in the next year in the mean time spend my time and money learning some of the other tools that I now wish I had invested in a few years ago. Much appreciation for all your continued contributions. I still use your tools and guides all the time.
Your videos are dope and definitely sealed the deal on me buying studio one 6 over all what out there ! Can't wait to show you what I got here soon keep um coming and appreciate it. 😌
Hello, first thank you for all your informative videos! There are some handy features like the track presets, the dynamic EQ, channel icons(which are very limited by now, especially for electronic music) and the new color picker in version 6.1 But many nice features are still missing which are really helpful like a overall song navigation bar, ONE automation lane for macro knob controls, modulators like LFO, random for these and automations. Also the contrast between event borders, tracks and the playhead could be much better. I hope they will still improve Studio One also for sound designers and eletronic music producers like they did it with pattern editor as example. Especially improving the macro knob controls and adding per track free assignebal modulators would be really nice.
Love the dynamic eq, the lyrics/chord view feature, new panning options, the slight gui changes, and customization. Never going to use the video track, but i think thats an awesome feature for content creators. Definitely a great update for Sphere members, but purchasing your upgrade flat out im not sure if its worth the money in comparison to owning 5 Pro.
I thought the upgrade was mid unfortunately. I liked the mix channel overview, some quality of life tweaks to the starter page is cool I guess. Everything else seemed catered to attracting beginners for the most part. Would’ve loved their own version of a session/live loops, track midi pitching like FL, a better reverb like how they did with their analog delay which I liked a lot, a whole new powerful synth, fixed some crashing issues, and finally made it where each new track isn’t just a different variation of blue lol. All in all I was hoping they’d play more towards the seasoned modern electronic/hiphop/ reggaeton producer. I’ll wait for 6.5
I was just saying that on a thread on Reddit, that if studio one had a clip launcher? session view likw Bitwig and Ableton, it would be the best... still, why don't many people use Studio One? I am fairly new to producing music and wish there were more tutorials outside of studio one for tips and workflows for different genres and all , and electronic music producers to collab with..
I'm still on 4.6 Professional and decided to skip version 5, to hold out for the 6 cycle. Many of the things I asked for and even developed solutions for such as hiding parts of the GUI with a 3D overlay were addressed. Specific requests on Presonus Answers such as a video timeline with basic editing feature, and being able to remove tabs from the browser were implemented. Presonus included a vocoder which I coincidentally mentioned in a Studio One thread, and I complained about the quality of the UI text quality as well. So a lot of what I've communicated has been listened to and implemented in this release. As great as these things are, there really isn't a lot to set the fire alight to make it fun like clip launching, new instruments or updated Mojito, digital audio effects processing, an updated node effects system for audio and multi-instruments, Surround Sound. UI features such as customisable tabbed windows, and being able to detach the browser even and place it where you want on the screen. There is a lot to like but as you say it's not really as exciting as previous releases such as 3.0 / 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.6 and even version 5. It's more like a point 5 release, so until there are some significant updates to version 6, I'll be holding off for now unless I find a cheap offer for it.
I got Studio One 6 as a back up to Cubase 12 pro, Cubase work flow for me is drag and drop Midi with all VSTs and Midi generator Vsts the AI type/ 5 mins i got an idea down. I am on the monthly plan with Presonus Sphere. I own Cubase 12 pro. I love Cubase, but i do like Studio One 6. I am the type that likes the latest versions of what i own, including VSTs, Plugins ect. You rock Ivan and am glad i can connect with you when it comes to Studio One 6. Keep doing your thing bro. Am old school so i have to rock with the Steinberg Cubase Since 1989 being one of the first very popular MIDI sequencers in major studios. Steinberg defined the VST interface (Virtual Studio Technology) in 1996. To me Cubase is the best DAW to use but has issues becuase it does why too much... I enjoy what you do with your channel...One Love....MUSIC...
@@iliravdyli4109 Yes it does major issues with update to 12 earlier this year, took over 6 months to get to normal.... Just this week with the kontakt 7 update 12 is solid..
About listing (foldering) presets for third-party VSTs, the presets for each VST live somewhere on the computer. Could you suss them out and then point at them with SI, thus, making your own listings, maybe?
I have an issue with pricing, especially when you already have Professional from previous version(s). These company are milking us especially when they run updates and new releases round about the same time, Komplete 14, Kontakt 7.
If you've never worked in the big studios with a booth and room for every performance - well, then you wouldn't understand the flip fader feature. It is a highly recommended feature when sending volume to a drummer, bass player | or | vocalist headsets without raising the volume in the mixing room or the rest of the band members headphones. Studio One just made it that much easier to set this up. So . . . it's in fact a very highly useful feature.
We’ve been able to do that already with cue sends though, which work in the same way as FX sends. Fader Flip is just another way to do the same thing but with added steps. That feature doesn’t fit my workflow but if it does for you then that’s great!
@@ImIvanCalderon I couldn't care less about it in my environment. I only have one isolated booth at my home based studio. Never had clients asking for input echoes before - they don't want to hear them themselves.
@@lovemusic942 Well, to start with . . .I couldn't care less about a troll like you. Secondly! I do not use Studio one. Never interested me. PT has served me weel over these years and still do.
Man, I’m a bit torn about it. The look and feel of it is good. But I was expecting more than a “5.7” like update. Plus STILL no Dolby or Surround. It seems like S6 just got a facelift and a few features. I dont see any video content makers truly using the new video features in S6 as well…it’s very minimal.
I would have loved to have seen Live Loops and a better sampler, that’s definitely been great to my workflow in Logic. Though primarily I am S1 user 90% of time, Logic seems to have production a bit more on lock than S1
As a Cubase user I think the mIxer channel overview is cool. It’s like channel settings in Cubase but not as deep. This was one of the reasons that I chose Cubase over S1 in the past. It’s good for the workflow that I like. I always keep an eye on S1 but I have to say that I am underwhelmed at this update. It’s the least impressive update I’ve seen from them.
You should do a studio one 6 masterclass tutorial for beginners and do it by parts. You will tons of views because of the lack of real tutorials were someone like me that never use studio one at all.
@@ImIvanCalderon Swipe gestures? I'd love if you did a video on that. I'm preparing to get a Mac, and i'd love to know about your gestures as a producer... Since it may benefit my workflow as well. -)
I read comments let me tell you music heads today are SPOILED PEOPLE lol bc the tools we get today for the price is great compared to you buying one hardware rack EQ and it will cost about $4000. creators didnt have half of the features we have today and they made big records who people today still love and trying to emulate inside of a digital DAW.
I'm happy about the v6 update, dynamic EQ is a godsend! But why does Presonus still keep BLOATware like connecting with Soundcloud on the front page?? A dying platform with a bad rep, really?? I see that every time I open my daw, Presonus want to be associated with that?? and why pick them out of a hundred others, just because they partnered with them years ago? I would never want to hook up my daw with anything like that, get rid of it pls. Presonus should be able to stand-alone, or add some Fender bling or something. That would actually make sense. Still also need a native clipper, to handle problematic overs, and a widener plugin. I also would love an option for faders with a better resolution while mixing.
They need note panning for sample one. For hi hat midi!!! And also sound previews while the beat is playing(often I cant hear drum sounds that I want to put in my project while its playing to see what fits).
What do we think of this latest version? Is it worth the upgrade?
Lol hell naw its not worth it switch to protools coming from a 2014. Studio one 5 pro user
@@therealmosthated you have to remember other updates coming...but man this ish has 5 serious bugs im having smh

Best DAW out period
I agree completely, coming from Cubase after all the crashes there.
Studio One is the complete DAW for everyone!!! Thanks for this overview.. I already installed Studio One 6 from my Presonus Sphere account.
Fader flip is brilliant when creating a separate headphone mix. Much easier to control the artists mix in the H/P.
Ooh, I like the Mixer Channel Overview!
I'm a sphere member , got the update but S1 v6 need an atmos update 😟

The Original Stock Deesser is a function of the stock compressor. Now we have 2 stock deessers.
It took some nice ideas from Cubase that I missed when using S1

I'm still using s1 v4 gotta upgrade
Very cool video. I think the studio One brand should partner with a legit synth company for better quality performance.
That would be super fire. PreSonus, the parent company, got purchased by Fender recently so I’m hoping to see more of an integration there.
Has there been any graphical updates to the VU Meter or Fat Channel vsts?
bro how to colour your whole tracks like that?
This update is a colossal letdown. I'm more excited for .5 updates at this point. All sizzle and no steak.
Too bad Presonus that the Track Presets do not store Audio Clips or Automation, maybe in update 13? 2050?
Should be a pretty big upgrade for me still studio one 3 pro 😂
Yea we gotta get you up to speed lol
What is that to the bottom left of your keyboard... is it a track pad or something?
Yup! I use it for swipe gestures on the Mac. Makes navigating windows a lot easier.

Honestly I think this update should have been a 5.5 more than a 6. It feels underwhelming. I expected way more from such a major upgrade.
yall aint paying nothing but chicken change lol
There's no way I'm paying for a lame update. I'll wait for 7
Feels more like a update not an upgrade…I’ll stick with 5 pro for now…definitely not impressed 🤨
All factual‼ They could’ve done this as a update
Very Small upgrade with a capitol S not supporting creativity anymore
Lame update.. Dead daw
You only make beats?? & don’t work with vocals & yet call yourself a producer OMG
Who said I don’t work with vocals? Lol
I said I don’t write a lot of lyrics when I’m in the studio alone, cause I’m not an artist
