Can't Be Beat!!!

Quite simply amazing for $100. So many features standard. Producer is the one though and only for $100 more. I got Artist V1 free with my presonus interface and at the time presonus was giving V2 upgrades for free and they do that often. Just upgraded from Producer to Professional on Valentine's Day when they sent me a 50% off offer...no brainer. Do your home work though and research to find whats best for you or ask Sweetwater, they're the best. Personally, I wish I could control transport duties with my keyboard controller and I need a sequencer for drum parts. There is a way to do it with S1 and its cool but I prefer the MPC way.

WHAT A GREAT PROGRAM!!!

This goes along with my Audio Box USB Review since Studio One Artist was included as a bundle The Studio One 2 upgrade was offered free when I registered, what a nice surprise.
This is packed with awesome features and tools. The loops and effects are really nice and unlike many others totally usable and really user friendly. The tools will need some work on your part to learn and understand how to use them but if you have experience it's pretty straightforward.
The quality of my recordings are unbelievably clean and pristine. They have a quality sound before mastering anything.
If you're new to recording it's well worth the price. Try it and I know you'll be blown away. I like it so much I'm more than sure I'll be upgrading to Studio One Professional before long.

Expectations far exceeded!

Let's just say that this is the best $99 I have spent on anything music related in my life. There is no hype surrounding this product, it is all they say it is and more! I will be upgrading when I can afford to but even the Artist version allows you to produce professional projects.

Seems The Perfect Thing For Starting On The Ground Floor

This is not a really fair review because I've had little time to work with my ProSonus. I will say (1) it looks really good (just like the photos), and (2) allows anyone interested in digital recording & editing to start on the ground floor because it is "not" expensive. The problems, turns, twists, and jumping through hoops to register and get the key you'll need just to load the software onto your computer is ridiculous. Only through the gracious patience of Sweetwater was I able to get it up and running. Also, by the grace of Sweetwater, one of their technicians is the one who convinced (with her patience and understanding of what I hoped the software would do) that I could accomplish what I wanted to do by buying a smaller, less expensive software package. My goals are small. Import recordings from my 16-track recorder for correcting mistakes, and CD mastering for personal use - at least for now, I believe ProSonus is an excellent way to start. Thanks SWEETWATER for introducing me. P.S. my rating may go higher once I really get into the software.
