how far are we from v3?

any guesses?

I don't think you will get any "reliable" news about this...

My bet is October.

Something big must be brewing but I remember Jonathon said the tempo track was going to have a face lift in the life cycle of 2 so if thats true it means another major release before 3.

But plans change, I'm sure somethings under the bonnet.

I don't know why developers of daw software don't communicate timelines, it's not just presonus, pretty much all of them.

Maybe they need more hugs

Oh, something is brewing alright, and that would be version 3. Not a point X version. You've probably been away. This was announced (unofficially but in a NAMM vid) about 3 months back.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Jonathan is no longer with Presonus, Not long after v2.5 was out he left and we wish him well. At that time the next major upgrade was 2.6, now currently at 2.6.2.

It's also been commented at Namm 2014, that version 3 will be out between this summer, or by late in the year. Probably the latter being the more accurate window.

Well, that wouldn't be only DAW developers my friend. That's simply smart business/marketing tactics.

Nikon, Canon, Sony (formerly Minolta), etc do it all of the time.

They don't list a release date to laugh at the poor sod who buys something 2.5 months before it's released. They do it so that sales don't decline before hand. If the product is fairly old (comparatively to the competition), then a basic release date or window can be given, because sales are pretty low, and the company wants to stimulate their buyers and prevent them from leaving and going elsewhere.

It's all good business sense, weather anyone likes it or not. Hope this helps.

Here's the official timeline...

now--------------- complain ------------- wait----------------V3-------------- 2.16 minutes of joy-------------- complain

The main reason companies don't publish any release dates is because then when the product release misses that date, there is a customer uproar. Imagine if PreSonus said v3 was coming out on July 4th and then it didn't get released until September. This is not an unreasonable scenario in software development timelines. Can you imagine the craziness of the threads on here starting July 3rd or even sooner?

No - I prefer they decide on a feature set and release the product when all features are working. There's a saying in software: you have three variables - time, cost, and features. Pick two. Cost is pretty much fixed unless you pay overtime or bring in extra help. So if you set a date, you have to cut out features as that date approaches.

Hope this isn't too confusing. I'm still waking up lol

Plenty of software AND hardware developers make this MISTAKE. As mwright137 pointed out:

Based on the following equation:

f(x+y) = F (x) g (y) + (y) g (x) = S1 (3)

I believe that the answer you are looking for is "soon."

I think we also maybe have to come to grips with the reality that "PreSonus Software" maybe doesn't spend 24 hours a day working on Studio One, but maybe also working on other things for PreSonus, and how the hardware side of the company may largely play into S1's development decisions.

It's maybe not - the similarly sized kinda generally small team - like Cockos, who kinda only mostly works on Reaper.

I said "maybe" a few times because I actually don't know either way.
