When Studio One was released almost a dozen years ago, it instantly became one of the fastest-growing DAWs around. With each dot release and major update, Studio One has grown into a comprehensive powerhouse, offering features and innovative workflows not available anywhere else. We could make dozens of 10 Ten Lists of our favorite Studio One features, but here are the top 10 reasons we love Studio One today.
10. Multi-instruments.
Studio One lets you build a sound as unique as you by letting you stack multiple instruments on a single Instrument Track. Multi-instruments can be built as layers, key splits, or both, and you can record, edit, and play them like a single Instrument. A fully customizable Macro Panel gives you control over any parameter on any stacked Instrument or over multiple parameters on multiple Instruments at the same time.
Each Multi Instrument has its own Mixer channel, while each individual output of the combined Instruments receive full-featured sub-channels. You can process these outputs with plug-ins and sends, and then save everything into a single Multi Preset. There's no limit to the creative possibilities for creative production and sound design.
9. Smart Tool.
Edit fast with audio and MIDI! We've combined the Arrow and Range Tools to boost your audio editing efficiency through the roof. Select, move, split, or duplicate Events; trim start- and end-points of Events; adjust fades; and change the overall Event level in one seamless action-all with the same tool! Simply mouse over the upper or lower half of an Event to edit with the Arrow or Range Tools, respectively. Studio One's smart tools change dynamically to stay in the moment with you!
MIDI Note events can be selected, moved, and resized. Plus, you can change note velocity, mute or unmute events, split events and parts, even glue adjacent notes-all with the same useful tool.
8. One-click Busses and Groups.
Only Studio One lets you add busses and groups on the fly right from the console. Need to add an FX Bus? Just drag and drop the plug-in you want to load to the send of any channel to instantly create the bus and the return and begin adjusting the send level immediately! Creating a drum bus is as easy as selecting all your drum channels, right-clicking, and selecting Add Bus Channel. Channels can be grouped and ungrouped on the fly the same way, simply select, right-click and group. Easy peasy.
7. Drag and Drop Everything.
Studio One pioneered the drag and drop workflow that quickly made it a fan favorite from version 1.0. More than the ability to drag-and-drop an object to a new location on the timeline, Studio One lets you use drag-and-drop to do just about anything:
Drag in audio loops from the Browser to automatically create an Audio Track and start using them in your production.
Add plug-in effects-even specific presets-simply by dragging and dropping them on the desired track or channel.
Ready to add a virtual instrument? You got it. Just drag it from the Browser to the Arranger Window to create a new Instrument Track and open the plug-in.
Need to do a quick stem export? Just drag the audio file from your song to any location on your computer or directly upload to your PreSonus workspaces!
Copy complete insert FX chains from one Mixer channel to another by drag-and-drop.
Complete send chain levels and routing can be copied from one channel to another simply with drag and drop.
Convert audio to MIDI using Melodyne via drag-and-drop.
Convert an Instrument Part to audio simply by dragging it to an Audio Track.
Extract chords by dragging any audio or MIDI object directly to the Chord Track.
Drag Arranger sections to create completely new arrangements on the fly or move them to and from a Scratch Pad to experiment with them before you commit them to your song.
No other DAW lets you work so quickly and efficiently.
6. Comprehensive Plug-in Suite.
Studio One comes loaded with a Native Effects plug-in suite that provides just about any tool you need for mixing, mastering, performing, and producing. These aren't average stock DAW plug-ins, these plug-ins are so good we sell them separately for use in other DAWs. You get State-Space modeled guitar amps and stompboxes with Ampire and Pedalboard; the complete Analog Effects Collection featuring State-Spaced modeled input stages on select plug-ins; Fat Channel XT with two State-Space modeled Compressor and EQ models; a suite of analysis tools to help you fix your mix; plus inspiring effects like Autofilter, Groove Delay, Room Reverb and more!
But we didn't stop with channel effects. Studio One Professional features the unique Console Shaper plug-in. Console Shaper uses our proprietary Mix Engine FX processing technology that affects your music across all channels on a bus, rather than just processing the bus output, as with a traditional plug-in. This allows for vintage-inspired artifacts like console crosstalk, surface noise, and drive. Mix Engine FX apply processing at a much deeper level, across any number of channels-and even in between.
5. Robust Composing Tools.
Studio One is a modern composer's dream come true, and it all starts with Studio One's Sound Variations-the next level in articulation support-so you get the most out of the complex virtual instruments and orchestral libraries. An extended mapping editor provides tools for managing complex articulation maps, and you can drag and drop Sound Variations into any order, or place them into custom folders for lightning-fast navigation. Sound Variations can be triggered by key switches, hardware controllers, keyboard shortcuts, custom macros, or highly customizable custom layouts for Studio One Remote. It's never been easier to use orchestral libraries to their fullest potential.
But we didn't stop there. Modern composers need
