S³ Studio, the Strands Sound Studio, is the EveryWear folder for the paid creative rail: music, image, and video generation running on your own GPU. Gener8 4ever, Gener8 Pro, Vid Studio, and Creator Studio share one set of rails and one licence ladder; buy in once, pay the difference to upgrade, own it for life.
S³ Studio is not an external applet; it's the EveryWear folder that holds the paid creative suite. Open it and the tiers you own are sitting there, running on the same rails as the free base.
Gener8 4ever for music generation, Gener8 Pro for the heavier generator stack, Vid Studio for video assembly, and Creator Studio for the orchestration layer on top. Everything installs through the same hardware-aware installer as the rest of EveryWear, and everything you make files into your Vault.
The first closed beta shipped at s3studio.xyz and is complete. The second closed beta is integrating S³ Studio into EveryWear now, so the studio, the Vault, and My Mait share one desktop and one memory.
Three tiers, each a one-off lifetime licence. You pay once, you own it forever, and nobody bills you next month: no metered credits, no monthly bleed, no expiry. One licence; pay the difference to upgrade.
Gener8 4ever is the $20 one-off lifetime tier ($25 standard). S3 Studio splits into Gener8 Pro at $49 ($69 standard) and Creator Studio at $100 ($159 standard), one-off lifetime licences; discount prices hold for the first 100 days from launch. Gener8 Pro is the generators tier: Vid Studio Pro, 3nvizen, 1magen edit/upscale, Stem Extractor, and Style Patch apply. Creator Studio is the orchestrators tier (AI Director, DAW, Style Forge training) and includes everything in Gener8 Pro. One licence. Pay the difference to upgrade. AI Director, DAW, 3nvizen, Style Forge, Style Patches, and Stem Extractor are included capabilities, never separately priced products.
The ladder isn't arbitrary. Each tier answers a different question: what makes things, and what directs the things being made.
Gener8 Pro is everything that makes things: heavier music workflows, 3nvizen for video, 1magen edit and upscale, Vid Studio Pro, Stem Extractor, and Style Patch apply. If the output is a track, a clip, a stem, or an image, it comes off this tier's generators, straight from your GPU.
Creator Studio sits above the generators and directs them: AI Director for composition-level control, the DAW for arranging and editing what the generators produce, and Style Forge for training reusable styles. You direct and compose what the generators make; Studio includes everything in Gener8 Pro, so the whole chain lives under one licence.
Style Forge in Creator Studio trains the reusable styles; Style Patch apply in Gener8 Pro puts them to work. Train once at the orchestrator level, apply forever at the generator level. That loop is the reason the two tiers exist as a ladder rather than as separate products.
Every tier in S³ Studio runs locally first. The licence buys software, not access to somebody else's queue.
Generation happens on your GPU. Your prompts, your stems, your renders, and your unfinished drafts never leave the machine to get made.
There is no credit balance to watch and no rate limit to hit. Generate a hundred takes at 3 a.m. if that's what the track needs; it costs nothing extra.
When local hardware isn't enough, API fallbacks add extra power on demand where the applet's registry gate is satisfied. Opt-in extra muscle, never a dependency.
S³ Studio ships inside EveryWear. Install the free base, let the installer profile your hardware, and buy into the creative rail when you're ready; the discount prices hold for the first 100 days from launch.
