    I don't understand what's going on with the new version.
    When I want to export a mix, the master fader isn't taken into account.
    Another thing: the name given to the export is no longer the name of the song (but the name of the song + “start” added to it) and a new directory is automatically created...
    Could someone tell me if there is a way to get back to exporting mixes as they were in the previous version of the software?
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't really care much about the name. The real issue is the lack of innovation. All they've done since version 5 is offer a new synth and some presets. They rely too much on third-party plugins like Melodyne, Revoice, and Tonalic instead of developing their own native features. In the end, they only provide us with minor tweaks since version 6, so I just don't feel like upgrading Studio One anymore.
    Look at the competition: Cubase has added VariAudio and OmniVocal. Logic has introduced Session Players, Studio Bass, and Studio Piano.
    It’s like they’re just messing around with 'skins' instead of giving us real updates, just like modern game developers do.
    Come on, Fender! Get it together!

    @all
    Whats your Opinion on the Fender Twin Reverb Amp Simulator ?
    Better than available IR Cabs/ NAM Profiles or Apps like AmpliTube ?

    Ok, looks like AmpliTude is better than THU.
    But my Question is, Fender Studio Pro vs the Rest, Who has the more realistic Caracter of the Twin Reverb ...
    I'm mean they bought Presonus, or is the Fender Name only Marketing ?

    The automation is BROKEN in Studio Pro 8. Not only for master fader, for everything.
    Modwheel, Expression, Volume.. nothing gets exported to the WAV file.

    I had important work - a full album - to export, written in S1 7. A great opportunity to use Fender Studio Pro 8, right? WRONG!
    Older sessions seem to be broken. If users fear opening old sessions, you’re done.

    Fade outs introduce a click at the end. Probably has something to do with the new feature, freeze tracks.

    I also had a couple if epifanies regarding Fender Bender:

    Why did they not change the name immediately?
    Probably a 4 year sell clause that did not allowed them to change the name.

    Fender acquisition of PreSonus: 1 November 2021 (signed definitive agreement)
    Launch of Fender Studio Pro 8: 13 January 2026
    Time Between Them: 4 years, 2 months, and 12 days

    Fender didn’t buy Studio One to make a better DAW.
    They bought it to develop their own ecosystem. Just like Soundwide / NI.
