Jun 21, 2017 Working with dual-screens setup can help with both tools. Ableton Live can then display the 2 modes at once, but honestly I still prefer the Presonus layouts, which are more flexible: one screen for the console (not console + clips), one for the arrangement. Or one for console+arrangement, the other one for plugins.

PreSonus® is now shipping Studio One® 4.5, a major update to its powerful yet easy-to-use recording and production software. With more than 70 new features and improvements, this free update for Studio One 4 users adds several of the most requested features from the Studio One user community and adds advanced tools that streamline professional audio and MIDI production workflows.
The redesigned Input Channel section adds updated hardware preamp controls for selected PreSonus audio interfaces, as well as software-based input gain and phase controls to every input. This combination of hardware- and software-based gain controls offers more flexibility and control throughout the entire recording and mixing process. All audio and instrument channels, effects channels, and buses also feature gain and phase controls so you can manage perfect levels across the entire mix without increasing event gain.
Grouping has been completely redesigned: Groups now have attributes for defining edit groups or mix groups using attributes for Volume, Pan, Mute/Solo, Inserts, and Sends. Groups can be nested and can be easily edited and activated/suspended with one click. A dedicated command can globally enable/disable all Groups at once.
Setting up an external audio interface is a lot easier thanks to several I/O setup improvements. Add any number of new inputs and outputs in just one step, including custom naming and coloring. Inputs and outputs can be reordered with simple drag-and-drop. Users who switch interfaces, move between studios, or collaborate will appreciate the new Import and Export options for I/O setups.
A new Plug-In Manager lists all installed third-party plug-ins, including a list of plug-ins that were blacklisted during the initial scan, allowing them to be reset individually or globally. Showing or hiding individual or groups of plug-ins only takes a few clicks.
Honoring one of Studio One users’ top requests, CPU load for using combined virtual instruments inside a Multi-Instrument has been reduced by a whopping 70% for Native Plug-ins and by around 50% for third-party instruments like Kontakt. CPU optimization has also been implemented for Mai Tai, Presence XT, SampleOne® XT, and Impact XT.
Studio One 4.5 takes MIDI editing to a new level with major new features and improvements to speed up workflow. Several powerful new note actions have been added; examples include Fill with Notes, Randomize Notes, Apply Scale and Mirror Notes. Note actions can be used manually and individually, and they can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts and used as part of a Macro command. Shortcuts or Macros can then be added to any Macro Toolbar, enabling even more powerful customization.
The new update adds many other important features and enhancements. For instance, the Chord Selector now offers a convenient Audition mode. Individual Audio Events, Audio Parts, and Instrument Parts in an arrangement can now be locked to prevent unintentional moving or editing, and you can even lock entire tracks. You can now export video with the audio mixdown as the soundtrack. AAC (m4a) and ALAC (Apple Lossless) format compatibility for audio import and export at different bit depths and sample rates have been added.

| Hey guys, if my memory serves me right, a year ago some of you fellows reported this as well: I'm still getting CPU usage-spikes that cause audio dropouts regardless of the dropout protection value. This renders the realtime audio recording process pretty much impossible, also making the mixing more difficult as well. Some few weeks back I sent a support ticket to Presonus (always quick to reply, nice service all in all, BTW) and the support personnel directed me to the cats at SoundToys, a well known plugin developer, since their plugins were ones that clearly caused the 'CPU-spiking', along with crashes when using e.g. their very well known and widely used plugin EchoBoy. Well guess what? Stopped using SoundToys plugins, but still getting CPU usage-spikes big time. I've ran out of INSPIRATION to be constantly reporting bugs to a software developer that regards paying customers as their beta testers. An unfair policy, this one. So... any of you guys as unlucky as I am, to this day?

| Well there isn't enough detail but regardless try some standard performance and troubleshooting advice first: 1) If you have turbo features on your motherboard BIOS turn it off (such as hyperthreading). Also try turning off 'high performance power'. 2) In Windows power saving advanced you will see CPU min/max. Make sure these are on 100% 3) Update your display and audio drivers. 4) Consider updating motherboard BIOS 5) Make sure your antivirus excludes DAW processes and files (do not disable). 6) Goto Intel driver update website (or AMD equivalent). 7) Turn off windows non essential services 8) Turn off non essential startup processes. 9) Try to rule out the issue on a per project basis? Do you have a poorly behaved plugin for instance? (Do things return to normal if you remove a plugin?). 10) In device manager try turning off power saving features for your controllers and audio interfaces. 11) Uninstall applications you are not using. Then troubleshoot with process monitor and latencymon. There are also various optimizations you may be able to do with your display adapter. Always back up.

| one thing i have noticed by all these 'optimization' threads... it seems that most overlook one thing. if i am not mistaken all audio effects and such actually run as background processes and by default on windows computers the focus of the processor is focused on 'foreground' processes or programs giving the best possible performance boost. you can set the priority... there is a setting in computer -> properties -> advanced system settings -> advanced (performance section) click the settings button under performance and then the advanced tab of those settings to focus on background programs rather than foreground (programs) and may help in settling erratic behaviors such as spikes and such. i am sure for the most part with the computers today that is not a major problem (priority focus) but on old machines with less ability it was common to set priority to background on an audio workstation computer... so it is worth a try i suspect. remember it may slightly decrease overall performance of the system if left on (which i leave it on) but you can always go in and turn off background priority when you are done with audio work in your DAW if that is of concern... but in the end ... that priority setting is in fact still there in all windows systems and people seem to overlook it. may help... may not... but is worth a shot. cheers jay p.s. also i mite* add (you know where those are found lol) that many overlook the power profile and by default usb and hard drives will hibernate (go to sleep or spin down saving power and extending life of hard drives) if they do 'go to sleep' and 'wake back up' you can generally get a spike from the power drain needed to fire 'em back up. so check your power profiles too if using windows. you can tell them not to hibernate * Papa always said... mites grow around a chicken's bleep lol the only stupid question is the question never asked Ryzen 5 1600 : Asrock AB350M Pro4 : 32Gb 2400 RAM : Win10 64bit : Presonus 192 Mobile : Audient iD4 : Ultrasone 900 Pro : Blue Lola : Samson Resolv 50a : Ik Multimedia iLoud : Knot Hardly Productions ¯_ { ͡• ͜ʖ ͡•} _/¯ |

Applications and drivers are not services. Effects are not services either. Not sure what you mean by 'effects' but plugins run within DAW applications. The reason why you would give background services priority in Windows is that you intend your computer to optimized as a server rather than as a client computer. Not a good idea for DAW optimization. Sadly the advice is so widespread it's hard to convince people who have been doing this since forever. I even did this myself for a while until it finally clicked why I shouldn't be doing it.

| Hey, running a Mac here. I did use S1 since the first version of v3 with a PC until about a year ago. I wasn't ever happy with the loads of bugs (it seems I run into these a lot as I mix with Studio One many hours daily), but now in hindsight I think the PC version worked better than the S1 on my Macbook Pro.

| PreAl wroteThis is a myth sadly weirdly spread by some audio interface manufacturers..you would think they know better. Applications and drivers are not services. Effects are not services either. Not sure what you mean by 'effects' but plugins run within DAW applications. This is absolutely correct Your DAW loads plug-ins (whether they be effects or VSTi and which are nothing more than libraries that cannot run in their own memory space), into its own memory space in order to execute the plug-in code. As your DAW is running as a foreground process, it has to be to display the GUI, you would most certainly want it to have have pre-emptive priority over anything else that may be running on your computer.
