New in Studio One Professional 6.5.0 Build 96106 (Sep 27, 2023)

Recording and mixing designed for Immersive Audio:
Experience end-to-end workflow designed for producing in spatial audio from recording with multichannel microphones to mixing with enhanced plug-ins, and exporting files in a variety of formats. Mix in Dolby Atmos or additional formats that support up to 9.1.6 channels, then create Dolby Atmos masters directly from Studio One – both in real time and offline – and when it’s time to deliver, Spatial Audio Export provides convenient batch export options for ADM and downmix formats.
Dolby Atmos Native Integration:
While other DAWs require additional purchases, plug-ins, complex inter-application audio routing and synchronization for Dolby Atmos integration, Studio One 6 Professional Edition is now Dolby Atmos ready straight out of the box, for free, meaning there is no additional cost to start mixing in Dolby Atmos.
Support for Dolby Atmos Binaural Headphone Monitoring:
Studio One is now the only DAW that lets you monitor the output of the spatial audio renderer on both speakers and conventional stereo headphones simultaneously and independently. Studio One 6.5's new dedicated headphone channel allows for simultaneous Binaural monitoring, eliminating the need for switching configurations.
All plug-ins updated for Immersive Audio:
Effects and plug-ins (+2 new plug-ins) now support processing of multichannel signals or of any individual channel or pair of channels.
OpenAir2 convolution reverb with 7.1.4 HDIRs
OpenAIR2 gets a new look and a brand-new library of true 7.1.4 impulse responses that create authentically immersive 3D spaces.
New Multi-Tap Surround Delay plug-in
Eight-tap delay with individual surround panners can be synchronized to the song tempo for exciting dimensional and rhythmic effects.
Support for DAWproject file format:
DAWproject is a new open-source file exchange format designed to let users share sessions across multiple digital audio workstations. For the first time, users of DAWs from different manufacturers can exchange sessions in a format that includes all critical data.
Starting with PreSonus and Bitwig, .dawproject will be provided as a universal import/export format.
ARA-enabled plug-ins now available as audio editors on Project Page:
With the number of available ARA-enabled plug-ins steadily increasing, there are more and more reasons to reach for them at the mastering stage. ARA-plug-ins can now be utilized easily and in real time without any additional fuss.
Tablature and lead sheet enhancements:
Studio One’s Scoring and Note Editing capabilities have been further optimized for tablature, lead sheets, and drum maps. These features include the addition of rhythm slashes, a chord display that's dynamically linked to the Chord Track, custom string tunings, and more expressive options for guitar tablature such as guitar bends and rhythmic display.
Studio One Remote updated for Immersive Audio mixing:
Studio One Remote for iOS, Android and Windows has been updated to include support for surround mixing, including proper visualization of the updated mixer.
Additionally, a dedicated Surround Panner view has been added to support 3D panning with multitouch; a major benefit when writing pan automation in the absence of a suitable hardware remote controller.

New in Studio One Professional 6.2.1 Build 94935 (Aug 7, 2023)

New in Studio One Professional 5.0.1 Build 59897 (Aug 16, 2020)

Live Performance:
NEW! Show Page.Studio One’s new Show Page lets you add backing tracks, virtual instruments, and plug-in racks for live musicians all from a single, intuitive interface that can easily receive content directly from any track on the Studio One Song Page. By the time you’ve finished up your studio session in Studio One, you’re already more than halfway done with your stage production.
Arrangement and Editing:
NEW! Score Editor. The new Score View lets you enter, view, and edit notes using standard notation. You can view multiple tracks simultaneously in a single Score View to work on voicing or use Score View to edit one track while using Piano View or Drum View to edit others. The Score View can be detached from the Arranger Window allowing you to view the same note data in different views. A compact symbol set lets you add trills, tremolos, arpeggios and glissandi, accents and staccato in addition to dynamics that affect playback in real-time.
NEW! Clip Gain Envelopes. Clip Gain Envelopes are the perfect tool for correcting sections of audio that are either too loud or too soft, without adding a compressor or limiter plug-in. Add breakpoints to the Gain Envelope simply by clicking on the curve and dragging the point to your desired location or draw envelopes free-form using the Paint Tool. Changes to the clip gain are instantly reflected in the audio waveform so you have a reliable visual display of the overall level. Clip Gain Envelopes are sample-accurate.
NEW! Keyswitch support, editing, and mapping.Key Switch Articulations now have their own automation lane in Studio One, so you no longer need to worry about note edits or Note FX screwing up your Key Switches. Create and share custom maps for your virtual instruments and save them as part of Instrument+FX presets for instant recall.
NEW! Poly pressure and MPE support. Studio One 5 now supports note controllers for more expressive playback of musical performances using virtual instruments and orchestral libraries. Note controllers affect individual notes, in multiple dimensions if needed. This includes support for MIDI Poly Pressure and MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) with compatible MIDI hardware and virtual instruments.
NEW! Melodyne Essential 5 integration. Melodyne has been part of Studio One since Celemony and PreSonus co-developed the ARA extension in 2011, and the new Melodyne Essential 5 adds vastly improved vocal editing tools, integrated chord detection and a chord grid.
NEW! Timestretch mode: Tape-Resample. With Tempo set to Timestretch and this new mode selected, the audio tempo and pitch are locked for a natural-sounding, “tape-style” tempo tracking.
NEW! Marker Track Inspector. New in Version 5, the Marker Track now features a marker list inside the Track Inspector that lets you navigate, rename, add, and delete markers in one convenient location
Recording and Mixing:
The complete suite of Studio One’s Native Effect plug-ins have a fresh new look and some amazing new features. All dynamic plug-ins now have a sidechain input. Several plug-ins—including Analog Delay, Rotor and Tricomp—have been updated with a State Space Modeled drive stage for natural analog saturation. ProEQ is now ProEQ2, with a new 12th-octave analyzer mode and an additional linear-phase low cut filter. Limiter2is also stacked with new features, including alternative curve and attack modes.
NEW! Extended Mixer Scenes. Capture your entire console state and recall the entire mixer scenes or selectively recall Volume, Pan, Mute, Inserts, Sends, and more on any or every channel. Mixer Scenes are complete mixer snapshots and can be saved at any time and recalled in their entirety or ust filtered to only include volume, pan, mute, inserts, sends, Cue Mix settings, Input controls, or any combination thereof. Scenes can be recalled globally or limited to selected channels, and are automatically saved with the current song or your favorite song template.
NEW! Aux Channels.Dust off that TX81Z! Your classic MIDI synths can now be incorporated into your digital productions as easily as virtual instruments. The Aux Channel is a new channel type that allows any external audio source to be fed into the Studio One® mixer without the need to create an audio track that clutters your session. Add external instruments directly from the Studio One Browser using drag-and-drop.
NEW! Independent Listen Bus.A dedicated Listen Bus adds new flexibility to the Studio One® 5 console. Use the Listen Bus to provide a control room feed, independent of the main output, with its own level control, AFL/PFL solo, and insert slots for your favorite room calibration plug-ins. While active, all soloed signals can be routed to the Listen Bus, while the full mix can still be heard from the main mix output; cue mix sends remain unaffected. A dedicated AFL/PFL option lets you choose between monitoring soloed signals pre- or post-fader (and pan).
NEW! Recording and playback in64-bit float WAV format. Studio One now supports recording in 64-bit floating-point WAV format, the recommended recording format for audio interfaces with 32-bit converters. With this format option, the maximum recording and processing precision now reaches 64-bit/384 kHz, making Studio One the highest resolution audio production and mastering software
New! MTC/MMC Sync. Studio One can now be slaved to external hardware devices via MIDI Timecode. Sync to external video. MIDI Timecode and MIDI Machine Control can be set independently to any available MIDI source and destination
Studio One 5 Artist:
Support for VST2/VST3/AU plug-ins, Rewire, and Studio One Remote now included.

New in Studio One Professional 3.5.2 Build 44603 (Sep 28, 2017)

New in Studio One Professional 3.5.0 Build 43196 (May 24, 2017)

The latest update to the fastest-growing DAW on the market, PreSonus® Studio One® 3.5 includes 60 new features and enhancements, including several of the most requested new features from the Studio One user community. Studio One 3.5 introduces a completely revised Project page for mastering, no-holds-barred Mixer Undo functionality, and a powerful new, optimized, native, low-latency audio engine for unrivaled near-zero latency audio and virtual instrument monitoring with high-speed audio interfaces, such as the brand-new PreSonus Quantum Thunderbolt interface. We’ve also implemented a wealth of powerful workflow improvements, including extended Notion data-transfer options and the new Fat Channel XT plug-in for mix compatibility with the PreSonus StudioLive® Series III console/recorders.
The Studio One 3.5 update is available free to all registered Studio One 3 users:
Native low-latency monitoring:
With the advent of powerful high-speed Thunderbolt audio interfaces such as the PreSonus® Quantum, we are experiencing a new level of performance for computer-based audio production. In the past, you had to decide between hardware DSP-based, near-zero-latency monitoring and processing, with a limited set of DSP plug-ins; or software monitoring with complete freedom of native plug-ins and virtual instruments in a latency-afflicted audio environment. Either way it's a compromise. Using Studio One 3.5 with a high-speed audio interface eliminates the need for expensive hardware DSP by introducing native low-latency monitoring: completely redesigned audio engine latency-management that allows you to stay in the native processing domain throughout the entire production process. Bottom line: You get more performance and better stability.
Redesigned Project page.:
Even today – eight years after its initial release – Studio One Professional is still the only DAW on the market offering a full-featured integrated project mastering solution. With version 3.5, the Project page adds such important features as file-independent track markers, flexible loudness detection options, new Loudness and Spectrum meters, and much more.
Complete mixer undo:
Undo Faders has been the most popular feature-request—and now it’s here! But we didn’t stop there: We implemented “undo” for the entire mixer, including plug-ins, instruments, routing, I/O selection, FX chains, and more. Mixer actions are now added to the Undo History like any other action. Just click Undo or go back and forth in the Undo History. It’s that simple.

New in Studio One Professional 3.3.0.39252 (Aug 26, 2016)

New in Studio One Professional 3.2.2.37876 (Jun 1, 2016)

New dimensions to your mix environment along with professional tools and workflow enhancements:
Mix Engine FX - One of our goals with Studio One is to provide you with the ability to craft a sound that’s uniquely yours. While Studio One has been recognized for its pristine mix engine, we recognize that “pristine” sometimes isn’t what’s called for in the heat of creativity. To achieve this goal, we’ve introduced Mix Engine FX. You can now replace Studio One's acclaimed 64-bit floating point mix engine using alternative algorithms that change the sonic characteristics of your music in ways never before possible in a DAW.
VCA Faders - Mixing your biggest multitrack projects just got easier with VCA Faders. Originally introduced on large-format analog mixing consoles, VCA Faders provide remote control of any number of channels from a single fader, complete with relative level control and automation. Imagine just one fader for vocals, one for drums, one for the rhythm section, and one for horns—VCA Faders are so simple, you could get a handle on your mix with just one hand.
Even Faster Workflow - How do you take the fastest DAW around and make it even faster? Studio One’s multi-tasking Arrow Tool has always changed functions to meet the job at hand, but now it’s even smarter by transforming into the Range Tool when hovering in the upper part of events. In addition, the Arrow and Range Tools now provide alternative comping methods for ultra-fast layer editing and navigation–even with a large number of takes.
Tighter Studio Integration - Studio One 3.2 expands the tight hardware integration introduced with the Studio 192 Interface to more PreSonus hardware. StudioLive AI rack mixers and consoles can now use their onboard DSP to power low latency monitoring with Studio One’s hybrid FatChannel plug-in. StudioLive RM rack mixers now also offer remote preamp control and up to 64 channels of high-headroom, XMAX I/O right within Studio One. In addition, Studio One Remote now natively supports iPad, iPad Pro and Windows tablets including Surface and Surface Pro, providing more ways to free you from your desk while tracking and mixing.
Introduced in Studio One Version 3 - The next standard is here! Introducing Studio One 3. New version 3 builds on the blazingly fast workflow, unparalleled sound quality, and rock-solid stability that made Studio One the fastest growing DAW of all time. It adds innovative songwriting and arranging tools, inspiring and unique sound-design capabilities, and a gorgeous new, high-dpi, multi-touch interface that is optimized to keep you engaged, even on extended sessions.
Arranger Track - It has never been easier to work “pattern-style” in a timeline-based sequencer/DAW. Studio One Professional’s new Arranger Track provides rapid and intuitive song rearranging, even with large projects. Simply drag-and-drop song sections in the Arranger track or Track Inspector, and the entire arrangement updates instantly.
Scratch Pads - Studio One 3 Professional introduces Scratch Pads to the Song page, a powerful, yet simple new workflow innovation that will change the way you create music. Scratch Pads provide the perfect way to keep your work intact while you experiment on new ideas. Scratch Pads also are ideal for creating alternate versions of songs, such as radio edits and remixes, and for capturing new inspirations that you wish to save for later development.
Browser 3.0 - Our drag-and-drop browser has helped define Studio One’s ease of use. In version 3.0, getting the loops, effects, instruments, and presets you need is even faster with tag-based musical search. Speaking of loops—Studio One Professional includes nearly 10,000 audio loops, music loops, and one-shots to get your projects started and reinforce your arrangements.
Extended FX Chains - Studio One 3 Professional introduces Extended FX Chains, a fast, powerful, and elegant way to add new dimensions to your sonic palette. With Extended FX Chains, you can route audio effects in serial, in parallel, by channel, or by frequency bands, all via drag-and-drop. Rediscover your plug-in collection as you transform any effect to multiband or to the most precise, narrow band. Combine different effects in new ways to explore uncharted territories.
Multi Instruments - Not long after creating Extended FX Chains, someone in the office asked the loaded question, “hey what would happen if we did this to instruments?” What would happen? Rich, addictive, multilayered sounds. That’s what happened. Multi Instrument, as the name implies, lets you stack multiple synths and Instruments (as layers or key splits) on a single Instrument Track and record, edit, and play them like a single instrument. This opens a huge new range of possibilities for creative production and sound design.
Macro Controls - To facilitate editing the multidimensional sounds that are made possible by Studio One 3 Professional, each Console Channel and Multi Instrument has a Macro Panel with eight knobs and switches that can be assigned to the most critical instrument or effect parameters. These Macro Controls in turn can be assigned to your favorite MIDI controller for hands-on fun with your sounds.
Mai Tai - Mai Tai, Studio One’s new polyphonic analog modeling synth, gives you the ability to create monster electro and bass sounds that cleanly cut through your mix like a scalpel, inflict punishment like a jagged rusty blade, or bludgeon listeners with bass that will leave them reeling for days. Not unlike the effect you experience after a few drinks that share the same name, Mai Tai’s sounds can change character and produce drastic morphing changes and unique timbres. Its Multimode filter offers sounds ranging from vintage analog (a la Moog or Oberheim) to state-of-the-art "zero-delay filters" sounds only found in virtual instruments costing hundreds of dollars. Mai Tai’s oscillators and LFOs have a free-run mode, like an analog synth. Get modular-synth-style operation for enormously complex sounds, through Mai Tai's 16-stage modulation matrix. And Mai Tai is guaranteed to sound amazing because it’s built on Studio One’s dynamic new synthesis engine.
Presence XT Sampler - Presence XT represents the evolution of the original Presence sample-player, which has transformed into a robust, full-featured sampler. Rather than thinking of this as Presence “+ 1,” think of this more like Presence on steroids. Your old presets and song files will load, and some of the controls are the same, but that’s where the similarities end. Load any new Presence XT sound, and you will immediately hear the difference, thanks to an entirely new, first-class sample library; disk streaming for large samples; and Studio One’s dynamic new synthesis engine. Start to play, and you’ll feel difference, too, because Presence XT is equipped with articulation key-switching and powerful scripting capabilities for nuanced, lifelike sounds. Thanks to a powerful scripting engine, many instruments have custom controls for unique sound parameters. Many Guitars and Basses have adjustable fret-noise; Acoustic Piano has custom controls for sustain pedal noise; all Hammond Organ presets come with drawbar controls and switchable percussion; and Strings and Brass presets feature legato scripts, to name a few examples.
Reinvented Synthesis and Instrument Engine - Studio One's reputation for flawless sound quality started with 64-bit audio processing and now extends to its instruments and the way they play sample content. Mai Tai and Presence XT are based on this new engine and feature the same great-sounding filters, effects, and powerful modulation matrix, with more instruments on the way.
Note FX - Studio One 3 adds Note FX, a new way to bring Instrument Tracks to life. Patched in a similar fashion to audio FX, Note FX process the instrument note data, rather than the audio output signal. Note FX introduced in Version 3 include: Arpeggiator, Chorder, Repeater, and Input Filter.
Rotor Audio Effect - Rotor re-creates the classic sound of a Leslie cabinet. Besides typical motor controls (on/off; slow/fast), Rotor also offers a virtual tube preamp featuring controls for drive and tone (Horn-Q), as well as mic positioning. Changing the rotor speed re-creates the authentic acceleration and braking effects. This is the perfect plug-in to complement Presence XT’s new B3 sounds—or try it on guitar for a psychedelic effect.
Bitcrusher Audio Effect - By popular demand, we present Bitcrusher, a powerful low-fi plug-in. Bitcrusher combines overdrive, bit reduction, down-sampling, and clipping into a single, corrosively toxic tool.
New, customizable, high-dpi User Interface with multi-touch support -
Studio One 3 has a fresh and modern look that invites you to reach out and touch it. And for the first time ever in any DAW, whether you are on Mac OS X or Windows 8 (with a suitable multi-touch display), you can do just that to control your mix, arrangement, effects settings, and more. Studio One 3 gives you the flexibility to customize the look to your taste or for different work environments. We also wanted you to enjoy Studio One no matter where you used it, from a small notebook to a 5K or Retina Mac or PC display, including multi-monitor setups. Studio One delivers thanks to its new high-dpi graphics, which takes advantage of a new Direct-2D graphics engine on Windows.
Studio One Remote - With Studio One 3 Professional, you can unchain yourself from the studio desk and record and mix away from your computer using new Studio One Remote for iPad, iPad Pro and Windows tablets. Control your mix, effects, and transport; trigger commands and macros; edit inserts and sends; and access audio fX. Studio One Remote is also available to Studio One 3 Artist users via an additional add on.
Mixer Improvements, including Track/Mixer Sync - Studio One 3 includes the mixer improvements you have been asking for: resizable faders for more mix granularity; color channels for easy identification; synchronized timeline track and mixer channel order; and track selection and channel focus.
Automation Curves - Another popular request, automation curves have been added to Studio One to give you much finer control and smoother transitions of your mix, instrument, and FX settings.
Smart, User-definable Tool palette - The Arrow tool in the tool palette is now enhanced with configurable alternate options that can be accessed using a modifier key for faster editing.
More of everything—except the bloat. Studio One boasts scores of new features and enhancements, yet manages to be even faster and easier to use. As much thought went into what features to add as how to add them so that Studio One could stay true to our developers’ original vision of a “bloat free” music-making experience.
