Studio One Artist is bundled with PreSonus hardware, so many people can get it practically for free.

It’s better to buy a Steinberg interface and upgrade from AI to Pro at Best Service - especially during sales. That being said, Cubase Artist‘s price makes it unjustifiable, outside of specific wants there. I guess the same could be said for it and Studio One Artist/Pro, as well.Ĭakewalk ~= Studio One Artist < Cubase Artist ~< Studio One Pro < Cubase Pro Less features than Cubase Artist, but does have some features from Pro that can matter more than some of the extras in Cubase Artist. The development pace is impressive, compared to when they were owned by Gibson.Ĭlick to expand.Cakewalk is roughly comparable to Studio One Artist. Generally, I recommend anyone starting out start with it and only move off if necessary. That being said, I consider Cakewalk to be sort of the Logic Pro of the Windows Ecosystem - minus the great content Logic Pro ships with. I don't have an issue using Windows desktops, but I do like having macOS as an option because I simply think their laptops are better from a usability or portability standpoint when you need something high power that can actually work for a decent span of time off the charger (and doesn't force you to play DPC Latency Roulette). Not being on macOS is a legitimate issue for many people.

And you can hardly find a Windows Laptop that will perform on par with an M1 MBA while being as quiet, cool, portable and offering comparable battery life while running at full performance off the charger at a comparable price - and that's assuming you don't run into DPC issues on the Windows laptop. Welcome to the M1 era of $699 Base Mac Minis that perform on par or better than i7 Intel Desktops while generating practically no heat or noise. I'm sorry, but did I miss the memo where people started calling Logic Pro 'industry standard,' or have people really gone batsh*t wrt inventing narratives to fuel their rants?Īlso, Macs aren't expensive.
