No hassle, fast pitch correction using one of the highest-regarded programs in the industry. Presonus Studio One 2 Professional makes recording, mixing, and mastering easy.

Studio One 2 Pro

by Kris from Las Vegas, Nv
April 30, 2012
Music Background: Musician
So migrating from PC to MAC and from Sonar (only available on PC - so far) to another sequencer was made a lot easier thanks to the expert advice from my friends at Sweetwater.

The fir... read more [+]st impression using Studio One was, "This is to too easy to be good." On the opening window, the setup for audio and midi interfaces were all ready to selected. No pull-down menus, no hunting through different terminology, no need to be a spreadsheet guru or hunt for drivers tagged "suspicious" by the operating system.

From the opening window, things just seemed to be on a firm course for improvement. The idea of having a sample library window at the ready from which sounds and loops are dragged into a track is a boon to the old process of opening a pull-down, searching for and enabling samplers, hunting through the sampler library, loading a sound into a channel and then directing the track . . . well, you know the drill. Studio One is the kind of innovation that says, "you don't have to do it that way any longer". The developers' thinking shows up at almost every point where the old way of starting a session almost beat the creativity out of you. For now, providing a fully detailed critique in the first week of use isn't possible, but I don't think I have to be Kreskin to predict there won't be many reasons for me to be disappointed.

If I'm granted one wish from the developers of Studio One, it would be to create a seamless migration of performance files from other sampler formats.

Kudos to the developers of Studio One and many thanks to Sweetwater for their recommendation! close [-]

Letting the cat out the bag!

by Michael from Lacey, WA

Music Background: Hobbyist, Recording Engineer
Let me start off by saying WOW! I tried out the free demo and was blown away.
Pros: What made me jump on this was the sound quality coming out of this DAW. Yep it wasn't just me who thoug... read more [+]ht so either, people are starting to say it sounds better than other leading DAW.
It's a cross between Protools, Ableton, Logic and Reaper. I've not even looked back to the rest of the other DAW I own and this is only version 2?
Everything is right there in your face which makes it easy to navigate but better with two or more screens to take full advantage of the customizing you can do with this DAW.
It comes with some On-Par built in F.X. for mixing and Mastering with a small drop down window on the mixing console showing great detail with what's going on with e.q, compressor or whatever factory plugin you've installed as an insert on the track.
Crashed and asked if I wanted to recover the last thing I was working on just like Ableton.
With Melodyne built in, sound cloud integration and the Pipeline plugin for outboard gear.. yep, a plugin to route any outboard effects in your DAW as a insert, this was a must have for me!

Cons:
It freezes when I scroll through my samples too fast in the built in browser but might not be related to the DAW itself.
A little refining on the factory instruments but not a big deal if you have 3rd party plugins you like to use.

Overall, this is a outstanding DAW. close [-]

Excellent software for all levels

by Kevin Bruff from Rhode Island

I am surprised by how silent industry has been regarding this excellent application. This application represents the condensed version of leading competitive DAWS, but in a much more elegant and effic... read more [+]ient manner. The work flow is surprisingly obvious, so much so that it takes to believe that it is “that easy”. I am pleased with several factors, primarily CPU management, GUI management and ease of project management. The bundled content is awesome, easily located and easily instantiated. The application has made my work flow much more predictable, stable and rewarding. close [-]
