Didn't know v4 has implemented something similar to asioguard - again I am tempted to switch to studio one! What are your thoughts on latency of studio one and cubase in comparison?

You've edited your question. I'll respond to the previous one. Instruments tracks in S1 = midi tracks too. If you want to route several instruments/midi tracks to the same instrument throught different channels (so for multitimbral instruments) you create first the instrument track holding your instrument and configure it as you wish channel wise, then you create as many supplementary instrumenst tracks as you need to route to your instrument,then you select the created instrument in the newly created instruments/midi tracks headers and you each give them a different channel number (once you select the instrument to route to, you'll be able to select channel) that matches the different channels you have in your multitimbral instrument.

For the latency part honestly I think cubase pro still performs a lot better. S1 has other nice features though.

 

Thanks, but I have 'edited' my post exactly because I have figured it out after installing studio one for the who knows which time. Next - testing this dropout engine and comparing it to asio guard - if it is as good I am finally switching to presonus! (at least because there is no cubase pro cr....!)

 

Tested - and... Not impressed by 'dropout protection' from presonus - asio guard is far better, but I am more surprised of something else I have noticed - studio one used to have better performance on single tracks - now Cubase seems to be better at single tracks as well! It is just that cubase 8 vr seems buggy and I am not sure what kind of problems I may encounter with it - I will keep the studio one installation but it seems cursed for me - tried it many times and always went back to cubase... Thanks Talmi for being the only one who cares!

 

Are you on Windows or Mac ??
Hardcore Reaper user here but i am lurking towards Studio One v4 as a second DAW (which i bought a few weeks ago).
Cubase 9 Pro also in my arsenal but horrible performance in my experience (macbook retina 2015, OSX 10.13.6).
With horrible experience i mean: very laggy GUI, doens't feel "snappy" at all, clunky.

 

Studio 1 Pro 4.1 running sweet here with 100 plugins , monitoring through them as well no noticeable latency whatsoeva . turned on that dropput protection when it 1st came out, haven't visited that setting since. no probz so far. ever. w8.1 x64 offline...

 

Good point.
I also put it to "High" now I can use the "Low Latency Monitoring" it is still good for playing live it's saying my latency is 50 ms but somehow it feels like 18/20 ms it has a really good engine and I set the precision to 64 bit.

 

My overall latency is 7ms (input 4ms output 3ms) - maybe that is why you people don't understand me - I don't care if a daw has good or bad performance on 10+ms latency - I play fast and need the lowest latency possible (I am not edm)

 

Why are you wasting my time with stupid things like 100 plugins and what do you mean by 'monitoring them' ? What are you playing that would need 100 plugins?! Or are you just another edm something - please explain.

 

a project can contain 100 mixing plugins. 25 tracks, each 3-5 plugins. i monitor(listen) a vocalist(singer) through a preamp and a compressor plugin for example . a single channel wouldnt need 100 plugz of course, i meant the whole project . (project=song).

and no, i'm not another edm or something , I AM E D M
