Studio One 6.5 is now available as public beta version for Ubuntu Linux

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!<p>Note: Studio One is a DAW (digital audio workstation). Other offerings that exist on Linux include Ardour, Bitwig and Reaper.

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.<p>It didn&#x27;t function correctly with the control surface bits of the ioStation 24C either.<p>Still, I do hope we see official support for their thunderbolt interfaces on Linux.

This is not a curious comment, but I&#x27;ll make it anyway. I spent some time clicking around on that website, and I couldn&#x27;t figure out how much the product(s) cost. All I could do was &quot;sign up.&quot;<p>A google search brought me here: &lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;shop.presonus.com&#x2F;studio-one" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;shop.presonus.com&#x2F;studio-one</a>&gt;.

I&#x27;ve used Studio One for over 3 years now on Windows. Fantastic DAW software and the dev team is very responsive. Can&#x27;t wait for the full version on Linux.

I dont use such software but porting it to linux makes me want to buy it just to thank them for making it available on linux.

Not sure about the latest releases, but the Studio One v1 was written by a bunch of the original Pro Tools developers, and it was really, really good.<p>It&#x27;s also way cheaper than PT, and as an added bonus you don&#x27;t have to deal with Avid, which is second only to adobe regarding anti-consumer practices.

This is a great news. Their RFC on their new plugin API , for plugins to render their GUI was interesting to read:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fenderdigital&#x2F;presonus-plugin-extensions&#x2F;discussions">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fenderdigital&#x2F;presonus-plugin-extensions&#x2F;...</a>
