![]() I do not understand Presonus rational behind this sequencer behaviour given so many wonderful things they have created for this DWA, which made me at the beginning of the pandemia and the confinement to change from years of using Logic Pro X (since its inception on the Atari when they started the revolution with Notator). Also, notation is incorrect no mater what time signature I choose. However beats are clicked on every beat, not in every dotted 1/4 note as it is customary. The only way I found for bars to be counted the way this music is written, is setting the metronome to 6/16 or 12/16. Then I found this 2017 sad news, 3 years later Presonus have not care to fix this. I love Studio One so much that it took me a while to understand that the metronome wasn't working right. Today I noticed the problem explained here while testing Toontracks Cuban Percussion 6/8 groves, watching how the grooves are counted in Studio One. ![]() I am using Studio One 5 for a few months now, since it arrived. PS - I'd love to work with PreSonus to get this set the way musician need it to be musical. Be the ONLY DAW created in modern times that does this correctly. Do they come back? Nope, who wants to work with someone doing all these work arounds "wasting" their time while on the clock? That's what the client leaves with as their impression of me (thankfully compound meter stuff doesn't happen too often). Now after 40 minutes of wasted time on this, we start the project. This is because these programs were created in the 1980s with the help of professional musicians, and are/were "musical". 30 years later, the ONLY DAWs that do this correctly are Digital Performer, CuBase, and ProTools (and Finale, not a DAW though). So I explain, back in the 1980s EVERY SEQUENCER did this correctly. Now that the client understands why it is set wrong to be right, I now have to answer the question why I, as a professional, would use a program that can't handle the most basic of basics, day one stuff when you first start studying music, tempo. Then import it into Studio One and presto, Studio one will give the same incorrect tempo marking I already had to make it come out right, quarter = 80. Next it's off to Finale, where I set up the tempo as dotted quarter = 120 (because Finale is from the 80s, it can click compound meter correctly). I start Studio One, then client hears they are both clicking at the same tempo, but still is not convinced, so. Next, it's off to the net to find an online metronome set to click at 120. ![]() ![]() I show the calculation (120 divided by 3 times 2) that gives us the correct tempo BUT must display the wrong tempo marking to make it come out right. So I start the long explanation on how the program bases the tempo on quarter notes (or two 8ths, not 3 like we need here). Now I have to "prove" I have it set to come out right. but client sees tempo set at quarter note = 80.įirst thing out of the gate, client thinks I have the tempo set "wrong". a client brings a chart in 12/8 with a metronome setting of dotted quarter = 120. Plus, it makes me look like I don't know what I'm doing. Yes, this is maddening (especially when EVERY sequencer in the 1980s could do this correctly, including those in DOS).
