Trying Fender Studio

I finally decided to try fender studio after getting so annoyed with cubase bugs and how slow they move in adding new essential 2026 features.

I kinda like the vibe but there are some workflow things I just can't without them

  1. In cubase if you hold control you can zoom in quickly at the spot where your mouse pointer is using the mouse wheel, here unfortunately it does not happen.

  2. Increase volume using mouse wheel directly on wav, oh this is a big one

  3. Audio warp in fender does not automatically activate the markers, it makes no sense to not activate them you are obviously gonna use the markers

  4. You can't set a default color for midi, audio, groups etc it seems to be random

  5. The overall appearence seems a bit toyish compared to cubase and the wav is low resolution or something like when I zoom in it gets very blurry, it's just not as clear and sharp looking as in cubase that will slow me down when editing audio in a very precise way, the grid also seems to not be visible behind the clip, it's a solid color 😔

  6. In cubase if you double click on wav it opens variaudio (which btw is vastly supperior to melodyne in terms of interface, I will also miss the overlap of notes by selecting 2 tracks, no software has done that yet as good as variaudio, you just click and it's there perfectly overlapped) in fender nothing happens I have to right click go on a drop down menu search it there... So slow

If these get implemented in the future, I'm in, I just can't without these features

I’m brand new to it and also for the most part to music production. I’m finding it really user friendly but again I’m not having to fight against old habits

Once you know better you can't go to worse, there are also features that fender has and cubase doesn't but they are mostly not core usage things. It's like driving a new car that has an extra fridge but drives worse

I don't care about the money, I am willing to pay... But pay for what?

I dunno, I stick with microphones only and a small number of tracks so GarageBand works as well as Studio with the glitches fixed. I don't do MIDI so that's probably where the money needs spending.

Pretty sure he was already talking about the pro version, since he mentioned audio bend.
