Hosts & Applications (Sequencers, DAWs, Audio Editors, etc.) • Re: Why did you leave Studio One?

If the perpetual license you get from Studio One Hybrid is upgradable, then it is actually cheaper for new users wanting to buy Studio One Pro than buying a perpetual license on its own.

Perhaps the reason for this is to boost the number of Studio One+ subscribers on paper, going back to the apparent pressure PreSonus is feeling to increase subscribers. Also, they're probably hoping Studio One+ subscribers become so entwined in the subscription ecosystem during the year they're 'earning' their perpetual license that they stick with it, in particular by making some stuff exclusive to Studio One+.

PreSonus would probably argue that there has always been content exclusive to subscribers, going back to PreSonus Sphere, but that content was only stuff like certain videos from Gregor and Joe. Making an actual production tool exclusive is a bold new step, and for the first time makes subscribers potentially dependent on their subscription with no easy way out. Get the kids hooked on a subscription addiction.
