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.

This is not a curious comment, but I'll make it anyway. I spent some time clicking around on that website, and I couldn't figure out how much the product(s) cost. All I could do was "sign up."

A google search brought me here: https://shop.presonus.com/studio-one>.

Installed it on one of the PCs in the studio when it released. No issues getting it connected to Jack. It was able to see VST plugins but no GUI. This limitation was pointed out in the release notes. The bundled plugins worked without issue.

It didn't function correctly with the control surface bits of the ioStation 24C either.

Still, I do hope we see official support for their thunderbolt interfaces on Linux.

Yeah, that bit was annoying.

They also used to offer a download of their free basic version. Now you have to download a trial version to get access to the free version apparently.. https://shop.presonus.com/studio-one

FL Studio is its own thing. If you're used to the workflow there, every other DAW will feel very (very) different.

That said, Bitwig is probably the least orthodox of the others, and so although it is really nothing like FL Studio, that might be a place to start.

ps. I'm the lead developer of Ardour.
