It would save some frustration if there were some guidelines for maximum stability. I have no problem with limitations like these as long as they are known and clearly stated. In other words: plenty of processing power. My new computers are a brand new MacBook Pro (16 inch) with 64GB of RAM and my desktop computer is from XI-Machines and is equipped with a 10 core Xeon(R) W-2155 processor and 128 GB of RAM. However, it seems that Studio One can still just freeze at any moment if the workload is too great. On my new computers the stuttering doesn't happen. I had the stuttering as well on my old computers. For me problems start appearing when I have for example 100+ tracks, many layers, many plugins, unrendered Melodyne edits, etc – large projects. I have found out that this can happen when you load Studio One with too much stuff. Especially since I really like the software and have been planning to buy Fader Port 8 and dive deeper into the PreSonus universe.ĭo any of you have experience with these issues and potentially fixing them? The combination of these issues basically makes Studio One unusable for me which is incredibly frustrating as you can imagine. I do not experience these issues in other DAWs (Reaper, Ableton, Cubase) I have experienced these issues on both of my computers (Laptop and a desktop PC). This sometimes requires 2-3 restarts of Studio One to fix.

On top of this, approximately every 4 th startup of a busy project will start with a 100% CPU usage even though the project should comfortably be under 40%. However sometimes this can happen with 3 rd party plugins also. Most often the problem plugin is a native PreSonus 'Sample One' plugin. If I go through the project switching off all plugins one by one at some point I will find the one that is causing the issue (this process takes a long time, constantly restarting the program after freezes). I originally thought that this was caused by a faulty 3 rd party plugin. For example bar number 85 will from now on always trigger this. Once this problem appears It happens in exactly the same spot in this project every time. This is accompanied by a loud stuttering sound. I can move my cursor and click on things on my screen, I however can't play, stop or record. If I'm working on a larger project I reach a point where the project freezes. I'm having huge issues working with busier/larger projects in Studio One because of freezes and crashes.
