you dont understand. but what if microsoft changes the logo of windows 12... how would you feel then?

 

Conclusion.. I will buy the Fender DAW in my next life and you will be still here in the forum for the next 200 years! lol

 

There is a saying rather more of a curse that (probably) originates from China: "May you live in interesting times."

 

Is everyone here that is so upset about the change taking a moment to write to them? Assuming you are a legit owner. if not, do it! It may not seem like it, but they do listen, especially if enough people are speaking their grievances. Be specific and honest, just don't be a jerk.

 

i used cubase alot but then started with studio one because its really good and offers great fast workflow. but this new update is offending.

 

Stick with your beloved PreSonus Studio One version 7. We live in momentous times of great change. Save what worked and be cautious about what's coming next. Only install what makes you happy and benefits you. Please don't spend all week complaining about Fender.

You're not obligated to use their products. This negativity isn't great and can ruin your day.
Just flush Fender down the toilet and look ahead. By the way, Fender makes fantastic guitars and amplifiers!

 

Umnn.....yes, SOME, (i.e....a few), companies listen to their user base. Many others either ignore their customers or, basically, tell them to go piss up a rope.
IK Multimedia immediately comes to mind.

BTW.....Fender makes some fantastically overpriced guitars and amps. Yes, their custom shop stuff is good quality but their
lower tier stuff suffers from a severe lack of quality control. Furthermore, they've blurred the line between Squier & Fender.
I've played many a Squier that was better then many Fenders. Gibson has pulled the same BS with Gibson/Epiphone guitars.
And now Fender's corporate masters SeveCo Pacific have ruined Presonus. When the hedge fund bean counters take over, long
time loyal customers are abandoned in favor of shareholder's portfolios.

 

Everything is made in the Far East these days because the competition also makes good, affordable guitars. Of course, the quality isn't what we had a long time ago. It's always that damn competition and cost pressure. Wage levels are lower in China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia...!

 

Everytime in the past years when the money guys "help" the music guys to create a better business, a clockwork begins to tick.
Firstly they stop making great products instead they only add minor fixes in new versions, secondly they try to implement subscription schemes. Then they begin to fire personnel that has driven success in the past and start to buy other companies in the same business (hello NI and izotope...)
In the end the company has severe problems and starts to die or to be anothe byout candidate:

Reason Studios (former knowns as Propellerheads): https://de.ra.co/news/84368
Steinberg: https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/113399-92#overview
Native Instruments: https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/52282-00#overview
Fender: https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/10865-80#overview

The End of all that sh*t is KI.

That's why everyone loves it when a great company gets sucked up by a formerly great company

Who needs a DAW when we can have Suno and the all new no-effort-music!

Brave new world
