Over 100 new enhancements
The upgraded and enhanced PreSonus Studio One 2.5 Professional offers over 100 new features that make your recording and mixing duties easier than ever. Presonus Studio One is known for being robust and powerful, but easy to use. This new version adds more function and capability but still keeps it all very easy to use. One new feature is Single-swipe Comping, with automatic beaming into parts that makes comping much faster and more powerful. If your projects have large track counts, you'll really appreciate another cool enhancement, Folder Track Editing, which lets you edit directly on the folder track with a waveform preview for all tracks in the folder. Multitrack transform lets you instantly turn complex multi-output virtual instruments into audio tracks - and back again. What a time (and headache) saver this one is!

More features to juice your creativity
In PreSonus Studio One 2.5 Professional, Ampire XT has has received a complete overhaul, with all-new cabinet impulse responses and reworked amp models for a major boost in sound quality. With 2.5, you'll also enjoy easier and faster editing of automation envelopes, audio export enhancements, the ability to re-record from buses, drag-and-drop effects directly onto events in the arrangement, built-in parallel processing on PreSonus Native Effects, and the ability to instantly apply or remove legato from MIDI tracks. These and many more updates give PreSonus Studio One 2.5 Professional the ideal combination of performance and ease of use.

Transient detection and editing
Transient detection and editing lets you quantize mutlitrack drums in two easy steps: 1) group all of your drums together, 2) quantize. Studio One 2.5 Professional takes care of all the transient analysis and phase-coherent quantization for you. Tons of new features, upgrade and plug-ins make PreSonus Studio One 2.5 Professional amazingly powerful and easy to use.

Handy Start page, friendly navigation
A powerful tool that will appeal to professionals and hobbyists alike, the Start page allows you to access recent songs and projects, create new ones, configure external devices, and access tutorial information, demo songs, and a special PreSonus news feed. You can download updates and support materials directly from the Start page, without ever leaving Studio One 2.5 Professional.

Fix your vocals with Melodyne pitch correction
PreSonus Studio One 2.5 Professional takes the pain out of one of the more tedious processes out there - pitch correction. PreSonus has partnered with Melodyne, one of the most respected pitch correction software companies out there, to make fixing vocals and other pitch issues easier than ever. Instead of having to export the audio, open it up and tweak it, then import it back in, and deal with all the file management issues, Studio One 2.5 Professional has built Melodyne in so it is as simple as turning on a plug-in. No hassle, fast pitch correction using one of the highest-regarded programs in the industry. PreSonus Studio One 2.5 Professional makes recording, mixing, and mastering easy.

Create production-quality masters - in the box
The Project page is a complete mastering solution that is fully integrated with the rest of the program. The Project page includes all the necessary tools to create a production-quality master, including effects, crossfades, volume envelopes, and meters. In addition, Studio One 2.5 Professional creates an intelligent link when songs are placed in a Project for mastering, automatically updating any changes to the original tracks or subsequent mixes. From basic tracking to multiple-release mastering, Studio One 2.5 Professional is the complete solution.

Spice up your recordings with all-new plug-ins
Take your recording to the next level with the new plug-ins included in PreSonus Studio One 2.5 Professional. Ensure that your guitar takes sound the best they can with the new Ampire XT plug-in. New amp models, convolution-based cabinet models, and a larger effects selection give you amazing guitar tones. The new tone generator lets you analyze and calibrate your listening environment for accurate frequency and response.

Amazingly Intuitive

by Wallace McGraw from Kansas City, KS, USA

Although I'm an experienced musician, this is my first DAW. I'm amazed at how intuitive the interface is for something that is so feature rich. I've downloaded plugins only to find that I already had ... read more [+]a more competent feature already within the package. The drag-n-drop interface is most appealing, and I rarely find myself lost. When I do, the community forums are top notch, with many helpful users than seemingly never sleep. I'm trying to purchase Komplete 9, as the S1 Pro comes with Komplete Elements. I'm waiting to find out if I am eligible for a cross-grade or upgrade. If I am eligible, that further increases the value of this package. Melodyne is another valuable addition, and is a breeze to use. Note: If using this DAW in native 64bit mode, you can only use true 64bit VSTs. I have wasted a few dollars on un-useable purchases. This DAW also does not have surround support, though I'm hoping that it can be patched in with a later update. All-in-all I am stoked to be using such a complete solution for recording. close [-]

I can't seem to shy away from writing positive reviews for this product!! Why should I?!!

In addition, the creators of Cubase and Nuendo are the same faces behind Studio One. German engineers at their best!!! This DAW is super light when it comes to CPU processing without compromising any of its professional fuctions and features, unlike any DAW I;ve used. Its marriage to Presonus is a huge plus!! Presonus has been revered as one of the leading hardware manufacturers in the music world, from computer recording interfaces to signal as well as multi fx processors. Studio One also integrates its own multi FX as well as virtual instruments plug-ins. Version 2 automatically bridged all your 32-bit, third-party plug-ins for use in a 64-bit platform. Simply put, Presonus Studio One is destined for the Hall of Fame!! close [-]

The BEST DAW.

by John Littlefield from Tilton, NH
March 14, 2013
Music Background: 20+years live performing, live/studio engineer
Ok, I have been doing home studio for over 12 years, so you can image the kind of dinosaurs I have worked with as far as gear is concerned. I won't tell you all about me because that is a waste of yo... read more [+]ur time, but let me just say I have been around the block a few times. It's not the years that count, it's the mileage.
I have used many different DAWs and they all did ok, but this one leaves them all at the curb standing like fools in the rain.
The features that are included in this program are everything you could want to truly get complete control over your home studio projects. From fx and eq's that really sound great to compressors, limiters, and gates that work like real rack mounted gear, this DAW delivers..! The drag and drop functions makes so many things so simple. I have owned this program for 6 months and it would take me an hour to tell you all the great things about it I have found. What is amazing is I have less than 70% of this program figured out, I have barely even started to learn about the Mastering Section, (a feature not included on the "industry standard" program). I did a Cd for a friend last year on ProTools. When I got Studio One, I recorded his newest song and rough mixed it after the recording session. He was so blown away by the sound he asked me to remix all of the songs from his last Cd..! I remixed the first one already, and the mix I got was 10 times better sounding than the Cd, and it took me less than half of the time to get that mix. If you own a home studio, BUY THIS PROGRAM..! It could turn out to be the BEST investment you ever make. One other thing, I recommend that you have a computer that has some processing power. Once you get used to this DAW you will be able to do mixing and editing so fast that your old computer may not be able to keep up. close [-]
