I accept that it's business as usual (but doesn't have to be) but these companies are cannibalizing each other.

 

[DPrezd Beggar]

Whats so bad about it? Dont know much about both except that Fender makes a few nice guitars. xd

 

[thedreampolice]

You are thinking of Gibson, everything they buy they tank. Fender is going to be a great partner for Presonus.

Holy fuck I almost freaked out for a sec! Like @thedreampolice mentioned, it's Gibson that can get fucked. They destroyed Cakewalk which I cannot forgive.

They destroyed Cakewalk

Ive stumbled upon this, looked interesting and free, how did they destroy it? Just curious to know

Gibson bought Cakewalk then threw them off the cliff to cut costs or whatever. Then a company named Bandlab bought them and offer it for free. I recommend people grab it, it's a really dope DAW.

Damn, i always thought Gibson was cool n shit making good guitars. Gotta read some of that shit up

Gibson is owned by people that don't care one bit about music. Its simply a business for them I try not to give them any money even though they do have some great guitars. Gibson also bought and killed two other amazing companies, one called Opcode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opcode_Systems and a program called Gigaampler/Studio that was amazing. I knew when Gibson bought Cakewalk it was over. I don't understand why Gibson would buy a company just to kill it. Its weird.

Yeah Gigasampler was the shit! I loved it. Fuck Gibson.

Well i hope it's nothing but good or simply business as usual for PreSonus in regards to Studio One. 'cause it's a neat DAW. Real smooth. Don't want to have to hop ship.

Try @Iron Keys either MPC Beats or MPC 2. You won't be disappointed.

think i registered for mpc beats. dunno if i still have access to it or what.

Before Studio One popped up on my radar, I was set to go to Ableton. Cubase was my all-time fave. So have a feeling they would be the contenders if I have to set sail. I've already been considering Ableton to partner S1 so.

 

[OGBama]

If @Iron Keys you find out you have access try it, dopest tutorials for it are from Ave McRee, fcthetruth, doswell beats, Ghetto Styles, SumnSumnSumnHTK, Anubis, thisisalbe

Studio One is waaaaay ahead of the MPC software, it's not even close. And with Presonus they're constantly adding new features to it whereas Akai seems to always be trying to fix their software.

 

[thedreampolice]

yea you can't compare a beat making software to a full blown DAW. They don't even have the same function overall. Just a bit of overlap.

 

[Fade]

Same with Maschine software. They try to make it a sort of DAW but it's not designed for that.

I was going to post about Gibson buying Opcode. Opcode's Vision was one of the dopest sequencers you could buy back inna day and their Studio line of MIDI interfaces were rock solid from what I remember. Then Gibson bought it and all that goodness went down the toilet.

 

[thedreampolice]

Can you imagine where Opcode would be if they had kept going? Would have been cool!

Studio Vision was out front when it came to sequencing and audio. Granted, Steinberg change the game when they dropped Cubase VST, but Vision was still rock solid and probably would have adapted VST and ASIO in the same way Logic did around that time. But my guess would be they would have been a real contender for many years.
