Am I right that the version of Studio One for making pro-quality music
for publishing would be the $499 "Studio One 2 Professional" version?
It's the USER that makes pro-quality music, not the program. The
difference between the versions is how many goodies they give you. And
they always have sales. Check the PreSonus web site. You just missed
their Black Friday deal, but maybe it's been extended like just about
everyone else's.
Bingo.
I didn't see sale prices there.
Look again....

Why don't you download the free version and try it. It comes with a
handful of instruments so you can play with it and decide if you can
make pro quality music with it, knowing that if the only thing that
doesn't sound "professional" to you is the sounds, you can make that
better by throwing money at it.
Can't I do that using Garageband? I don't have much money to throw.
I dunno.
You're the one complaining about the sounds in Garageband.
Thanks, Flatfish.
What I mean is: Instead of spending $325 for Studio One Professional 2
and then having to spend a lot of time shopping for maybe another $325
to add more instrument sounds to Stuido One for a total of about maybe
$700 or $800, can't I just buy insturment sounds to add to Garageband
for less money than that, since I'm being advised strongly here not to
change my music-making program.
I don't like most of the sounds that come with Garageband and
Mainstage, so I'm looking for a better package of instrument sounds
that I can add to Garageband, if that's feasible.
Tom
Got it!
I would spend the money on sounds and instruments.
The included sounds with just about every DAW are variable.
Some are really good and others not so much.
Also it depends upon what kind of music you are creating.
Someone doing jazz or classical might want realistic sounding
instruments vs someone doing electronic music might want sounds that
don't sound realistic but are unique.
Look at the thread I posted from GS.
