PreSonus Studio One Pro 4 Recording Software

No longer available at zZounds
With tools like the Chord Track, Harmonic Editing, Sample One XT live sampler, AAF import, Melodyne and more, Studio One Pro is what a modern DAW should be.

There's a very good reason why so many musicians have switched to Studio One from older, more rigid programs. Built on a modern foundation that's not bogged down by legacy code, the PreSonus Studio One Pro 4 recording software provides an efficient, creative companion from initial inspiration to final master. Its efficient, single-screen interface houses an unlimited number of tracks, intuitive editing tools, advanced virtual instruments, mastering, and video player, so you spend your time creating music, not wondering what to click next. The 64-bit double-precision mix engine is state of the art, while the smooth, analog quality of the virtual instruments comes from proprietary techniques that provide much higher controller resolution. That's why Studio One just plain sounds better.

The reason Studio One resonates with musicians is simple: PreSonus listens. Many features in Version 4 are the direct result of user feedback, including AAF import/export so users can bring song data from their old DAW into Studio One. Add the most flexible arranging tools of any music program, full integration with Notion for superior notation, over 20 GB of carefully curated content, analog console emulation, advanced step sequencing, unified hardware control with the FaderPort series of hands-on controllers, and much more, it's no wonder that Studio One continues to gain followers every day.

What's New in Studio One 4.5?

Version 4.5 is a no-cost update for all owners of Studio One version read more 4. It includes over 70 new features and improvements that benefit both traditional recordists as well as contemporary nonlinear producers, many directly from customer feature requests. Chief among them:

Multi-processing enhancements for virtual instruments.
CPU load for using combined virtual instruments inside a Multi-Instrument has been reduced by a whopping 70% for Native Plug-ins and by around 50% for third-party instruments like Kontakt. We've also added CPU optimization for Mai Tai and Presence XT, Sample One XT and Impact XT.

Redesigned Input Channel section with gain and polarity controls.
Studio One now features a revamped hardware audio device controller for software control of your PreSonus interface's gain and polarity controls. And if your interface doesn't have these controls, you get software gain and polarity control of every Input, anyhow!

Advanced Group management.
We completely redesigned Grouping for 4.5. Groups can now be nested, (great for drums) named, colored, and assigned to keyboard shortcuts for enable/disable. Furthermore, groups now have attributes for defining Edit Groups or Mix Groups, including Volume, Pan, Mute/Solo, and more.

I/O Setup options, import and export.
Setting up an external audio interface has become a lot easier in Studio One 4.5. You can add any number of new inputs or outputs in a single step and re-order your I/O via drag & drop. You're also able to import and your export I/O setups—great for mobile collaborators or users with multiple interfaces.

Streamlined Plug-in Manager.
Managing huge libraries of plug-ins and virtual instruments in Studio One 4.5 is now faster and easier than ever before. The new Plug-in Manager combines all the tools for managing large systems in one place—hiding duplicate plug-ins or removing individual plug-ins from the blacklist now only takes a few clicks.

Note editing now goes way beyond MIDI.
The Note Actions menu has been completely re-designed for fast, intuitive editing and composition, and includes new creative note editing options for Instrument tracks including Randomize, Apply Scale, Mirror, and more.

Chord Audition
The Chord Selector now has the much-requested Chord Audition feature, ideal for users who compose by ear.

Event and Track Locks.
Individual Audio Events, Audio Parts and Instrument Parts in the Arrangement window can now be locked to prevent unintentional moving or editing. In fact, these locks are independent in the form of Time Lock and Edit Lock, respectively. A complete Lock for Tracks is available as well. No more accidental edits!

Enhanced audio and video format support.
You can now export video in various formats with your mixdown embedded. We've also added support for variable-bitrate MP3, AAC, and ALAC, as well as mono export.

I've loved Studio One from day 1. I started with artist and love it so much I ordered the Pro. The flexibility of it. The extra steps I've had to rage in other DAWS I don't have to take in this one. The rewire is awesome. Even the VST's that it says it couldn't pick up when I was doing research, guess what..... It picked them up and not only that I can adjust as needed with Studio One Pro. The Cord Track. I want to scream... Love it!!!! The step sequencer LOVE IT!!!!
Sound
Love it!!! No cracking no popping.
