I dont use such software but porting it to linux makes me want to buy it just to thank them for making it available on linux.

Not the worst idea! I have mixed views on presonus. They have made great gear! I use a few bits of it! I haven’t used their software, outside of their drivers. Drivers have been great! But they dropped support for their FireWire gear on mac after 10.14 which was super sad.

You can still plug in a 1st gen iPod via FireWire -> TB2 -> TB3 -> m3 mac and sync it with tunes today. But my very nice mixer doesn’t have drivers for macOS.

I hope they are better with their other software offerings.

Requires Ubuntu 23.04 and Wayland, so not necessarily applicable to many Linux users, but great to see more professional software being ported to Linux in any case! Note: Studio One is a DAW (digital audio workstation). Other offerings that exist on Linux include Ardour, Bitwig and Reaper.

Not sure about the latest releases, but the Studio One v1 was written by a bunch of the original Pro Tools developers, and it was really, really good.

It's also way cheaper than PT, and as an added bonus you don't have to deal with Avid, which is second only to adobe regarding anti-consumer practices.

I actually started recording with S1 v1 in my teens because I got it for cheap. After some longer breaks, I kept coming back to it (and buying updates) - it really is good!

Compared with the Ableton workflow my bandmates are using nowadays, I still prefer S1.

I thought it was by some Cubase developers?

IIRC they were from the Presonus side, the original startup they bought as the basis for the sound engine was indeed ex-steinberg people.
