Known Issues

Please use another compositor until a Mutter fix is available.
● [Linux] Web-based user login is not available
● Non-Latin characters used in Event or Track names may cause display errors when the

Reason Studios in 2020, and while ReWire may still be usable in Studio One 5 and earlier,
we cannot guarantee that it will work as expected since the technology is no longer
updated.
● Since version 6.1, Studio One requires Windows 10 20H1 or later (64-bit only). See system
requirements for more information.
