I have been using Artist for some time now and love it. I have contemplating moving up to the Producer version but am having a tough time justifying it. Anyone out there made the upgrade and can speak to the benefits of moving up to the Producer level? Thanks in advance to any ideas you have here.

1. You get more plugins
2. You get more content
3. The project page alone is worth the upgrade IMO

for me it's worth it just to be able to use 3rd party plugs and vst's. The stock instruments are nothing to get excited about imo.

With Producer & Pro, you also get Track Folders: you as many tracks as you see fit) into a collapsible folder. This can save a lot of screen space, and really help workflow.
You also get a feature called 'Explode to Pitches', which separates each 'row' of your midi tracks into it's own track. This is VERY useful if you use midi drum tracks: You instantly get a separate track for you kick, snare, each tom..etc which gives you full mixing capability for each percussion sound. (There is a workaround if you don't have this feature, but it's pretty tedious)
Multiband compression is an awesome tool as well.
Oh yeah, there are MANY high quality free vst's out there. It is worth 'the price of admission' to be able to use these. Here is one example: http://www.powerdrumkit.com
Another impressive VST set: https://vladgsound.wordpress.com/plugins/
And, one more: http://www.meldaproduction.com/plugins/ .. ectsBundle
So, which a Studio One upgrade, you can use all of these VST's at no additional cost!

My fault, reading is fundamental. I read Producer as Professional. I think everyone should be on Professional though Actually they would be better off with Producer and Professional only IMO

I have both of these features in my copy of Studio One Artist.

Ooops..sorry! I upgraded from Free to Producer, then to Pro. I had forgotten which features came with what. I forgot that Artist had Track Folders & Explode to Pitches (I might not have even known about these when I had Artist!)
But I will say that I love the Multiband Compressor in S1 Pro. I haven't used Melodyn yet, but from everything I've read so far, it is a very powerful feature. And the Project Page for mastering is a great feature..quick video description here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUUQQUarquk

Since the launch of Studio One 4, there's been a lot of talk about some of the new features and workflow improvements but there have also been some conversations from users who claim they have seen performance improvements in Studio One 4, citing faster load times and snappier overall performance. Is this true?

What Does PreSonus Say About The Performance Of Studio One 4?

We decided to check the PreSonus website to see if there were claims of Studio One 4 being faster or having speed improvements.

All the uses of the word 'fast' or 'speed' are used in the context of speeding up the workflow, not the computer, for example;

'Studio One 4 isn’t just about including a world-class drum instrument but also integrating it with an innovative, streamlined Drum Editor to edit drum parts as fast as you can think. Along with hundreds of preconfigured pitch name and mapping scripts available for free from PreSonus Exchange, the new Drum Editor is like an accelerator for drum editing.'

or;

'The step sequencer has served us well for over half a century; now it’s time for Studio One’s new Patterns to step into the future. Tight integration with instrument parts, automation, and Impact XT means that Patterns reinvent step sequencing as a seamless, fast, fun part of making music.'

So there do not seem to be any official claims of the software actually being faster when running on the same computer. However, we decided to test the claims of some users by running a number of tests.

Studio One 4 v Studio One 3 Speed Test

Test One - Startup Time

This test was to see if launch time differed between Studio One 4 and Studio One 3. We ran a stop clock as soon as we launched the app and did this repeatedly to get an average time for Studio One to go from the first mouse click to the home screen.

The winner? Studio One 4 by about a second. Nothing to really claim as life-changing, what it means is that if you launched Studio One 4 ten times per day every day then you would save just under 2 hours per year.

Test Two - Session Opening Time

Studio One 4 Artist Or Pro

In this second test, we launched a Song from an open instance of Studio One. The song comprised about 30 audio tracks, virtual instruments, and plug-ins. The audio tracks has multiple edits and automation. We ran the test multiple times.

Difference Between Studio One 4 Artist And Professional

The winner? Studio One 4 by a few seconds, so again no clear winner in terms of time to open the sessions with either Studio One 4 or Studio One 3.

Our test machine is a Mac Pro Late 2013 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5 with 32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3. Session are kept on an external G Tech Thunderbolt Drive.

Studio One 4 Performance

As you can see from our tests that any computer performance improvements in terms of speed seem to be anecdotal. Windows users may have seen a marked improvement in speed, if you are a Windows user and can try the same tests then we would be interested in hearing the results.

Studio One 4 Artist Vs Pro Review

With all that said, Studio One 4 does feel snappier than previous versions, but we have nothing scientific to prove that. There's a lot of great reasons to upgrade to Studio One 4 with some new features and lots of workflow improvements, both will help you work faster.

But if you are still using Studio One 3 then rest assured that you still have a rock solid DAW with great performance.
