PreSonus StudioLive Series III 32SC Digital Console Mixer

The Personus StudioLive 64S hardware system has received mixed reviews from customers. One user, a frequent customer of Personus products, commended the hardware for its excellent performance and functionality as a stand-alone mixing unit. They mentioned that the system exceeded their expectations and allowed them to create amazing sounds. However, the same user also encountered issues with the software that came with the system, StudioOne 6 Artist. They found it difficult to set up and test, especially when connecting external devices and MIDI. Additionally, they highlighted that the software lacked important basic features such as video import for scoring and music notation software. Comparing StudioOne 6 Artist to their previous DAW, Cakewalk by Bandlab, the user found that Cakewalk offered more features and ease of use out of the box, including built-in video import functionality and a score editor. Despite this, they noted that Cakewalk did not integrate as well with the StudioLive 64S mixer hardware as StudioOne, leading to difficulties in controlling operations between the deck and the DAW. The user expressed disappointment that the video and notation features they desired were only available in the more expensive StudioOne 6 Pro software. They felt this was unfair to customers who expected to receive the best software with their top-line hardware purchase. As a result, they may need to switch between multiple DAWs to access all the tools they require for their music production. In conclusion, while the Personus StudioLive 64S hardware system delivers excellent performance, there are concerns regarding the compatibility and features of the accompanying StudioOne 6 Artist software. Customers are hoping for improvements to be made to provide a more comprehensive and user-friendly software experience. **
