A Feature-packed DAW That's Easy to Use and Powerful

PreSonus Studio One Pro music creation and production software gives you more than simply a powerful DAW; it's made to work seamlessly with your interfaces and controllers — especially PreSonus hardware. You get unlimited tracks within a very easy-to-use single-window interface, with drag-and-drop convenience. In addition to its 64-bit processing capability, Studio One Pro offers great mastering tools and a collection of plug-ins for a start-to-finish "in the box" recording solution! Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today and find out more about the incredible Studio One Pro!

PreSonus Studio One Pro Music Creation and Production Software at a Glance:
  • The quality you need under the hood
  • Wide compatibility with interfaces plus easy configuration
  • Handy Start page, friendly navigation
  • Drag-and-drop simplicity
  • Stunning plug-ins and easy MIDI mapping
  • Create production-quality masters in the box

The quality you need under the hood
Studio One Pro is based on a cutting-edge audio engine that delivers unparalleled sound and automatically switches between 32-bit and 64-bit floating-point processing on the fly (even with a 32-bit OS), ensuring the highest quality audio at all times.

Wide compatibility with interfaces plus easy configuration
Studio One Pro is compatible with any ASIO-, Windows Audio-, or CoreAudio-compliant audio interface, including, of course, the entire line of PreSonus interfaces. Studio One Pro recognizes your PreSonus interface, and preprogrammed templates automatically create software inputs and assign them to the appropriate hardware inputs on your PreSonus interface. You don't have to configure your software to work with your hardware-Studio One Pro does it for you!

Studio One Pro stores I/O configurations with each song, for each computer, and for each device driver. As a result, you can take a song to a friend's studio, use Studio One Pro with their interface, and when you get back to your studio, Studio One Pro will recall the original I/O configuration for the song, as if you never left. This works regardless of the interface.

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 Pro.

Unlike most music-production programs, a single, straightforward workspace allows you to track, edit, and mix in one easy-to-navigate window that you can access with a single click. Or if you wish, you can separate the Console and Arrange views and can even drag them to separate displays. A compact Console view allows you to mix while viewing the arrangement so you don't have to bounce back and forth between windows. You also can switch to a larger Console view-yet another way that Studio One Pro helps you work quickly while giving you maximum flexibility.

The Arrange view employs a waveform display with user-selectable color-coding and sample-level zoom. The Arrange view shows you the big picture, while the Edit view shows you the up-close details; used together, they virtually eliminate the need to zoom in and out. The Console view contains faders, solos, mutes, pans, and other expected elements. It also includes extensive sidechaining capability.

Studio One Pro's Browser provides instant access to effects, loops, instruments, and other key elements. You can preview any audio clip, and if the clip has tempo information encoded, it will play synced to the song tempo.

Drag-and-drop simplicity
Studio One Pro's powerful drag-and-drop function allows you to drag an audio clip, effect, or a virtual instrument from the Browser directly onto a track in the Arrange or Console view. Time stretching enables Studio One Pro to automatically match tempo-encoded audio clips with Song tempo. You can copy an effect or a whole chain of effects-including settings-by simply dragging to a new track in the Console view. These are just a few of the many ways that Studio One Pro's Browser and drag-and-drop implementation allow you to work quickly, without scrolling through pages of menus. It's a lot more fun too! No other music-production program even comes close.

Stunning plug-ins and easy MIDI mapping
Studio One Pro supports ReWire and the VST and AU plug-in formats, including the new VST 3 plug-in specification, so Studio One Pro is ready to use the newest plug-ins as they are released. It also utilizes automatic delay compensation, which keeps tracks in sync regardless of plug-in processing. But the most glittering gems are PreSonus's proprietary Native Effects Suite plug-ins, which include a wide variety of built-in effects, such as compressors, EQs, distortion, delay effects, amp modeling, modulation effects, and reverbs. These are brand-new plug-ins that process audio with 64-bit floating-point double precision. This is truly state-of-the-art technology. Three new PreSonus virtual instruments are also bundled with Studio One Pro , including SampleOne, a virtual sampler that offers the fastest sample mapping available.

When it comes to MIDI mapping, Studio One Pro changes the rules yet again. Of course, you can record MIDI parts and then tweak them in a piano-roll editor. But the real fun starts with Control Link, the most intuitive MIDI-mapping system available. Simply move the hardware and software controls to be linked and click the Link button for instant mapping. In Global mode, hardware and software controls maintain a one-to-one relationship, so a hardware control is linked directly to one software control for the entire program. In Focus mode, control maps only apply to a particular plug-in, so you can make different control maps for each plug-in, and the Focus map is stored with the plug-in, giving you no-sweat, context-sensitive MIDI mapping. This works with all parameters of any VST or AU plug-in. At last, a music-production application that makes controller mapping as easy and flexible as it always should have been!

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. You can make disc images, burn Red Book CDs, and create digital-release albums, complete with metadata. In addition, Studio One Pro 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 Pro is the complete solution.
