You've heard about PreSonus Studio One's incredible ease of use, now try it out for yourself. This crossgrade offers an easily affordable way to experience Studio One Professional for owners of full versions of ProTools, Performer, Reason/Record, Cakewalk/Sonar, Samplitude, Cubase, Nuendo, Live, and Logic.
Studio One is a new, integrated approach to recording music, from tracking to mixing to mastering and distribution. It’s a creative environment built for intuitive use, speed, and efficiency–and yet it’s robust enough for the most complex productions.

PreSonus Studio One Professional has everything in Studio One Artist and Producer and adds the Project page, an integrated mastering solution; fully licensed Melodyne Essential pitch correction; SoundCloud support; Red Book CD burning; video playback and sync; and five more Native Effects plug-ins: Groove Delay, Multiband Dynamics, OpenAIR, Pipeline, and IR Maker.

How Studio One was Born (the Inside Story)

PreSonus had a clear and simple goal: Wipe the slate clean and apply decades of collective software and hardware experience to bring the DAW back to the musician and producer. After years of development by some of the world’s finest programmers, followed by two years of free updates to Studio One 1.x, we are proud to offer Studio One Artist 2, Studio One Producer 2, and Studio One Professional 2.

PreSonus has been creating digital audio interfaces and bundling third-party software with them for years and have spent a lot of time thinking about how hardware and software should work together. Almost everyone in PreSonus is a musician, and they have tested their hardware with as many software applications as possible -- and weren’t entirely happy with any of the choices. Most DAWs, in PreSonus' opinion, are so cluttered with features that only a handful of people actually use that it’s difficult to access the tools you use constantly. PreSonus decided to provide their customers with software that is powerful and easy to use, integrates tightly with PreSonus hardware, and works well with competing hardware that supports Core Audio or ASIO.

At the same time, PreSonus was developing the StudioLive 16.4.2 digital mixer, and needed a really simple but great-sounding recording application that would integrate with it. They found great partners in Wolfgang Kundrus and Matthias Juwan of KristalLabs in Hamburg, Germany, who had previously worked on such Steinberg mainstays as Nuendo and Cubase. So PreSonus teamed with them to develop Capture, the StudioLive 16.4.2’s software mate, and started working together on Studio One at the same time.

New-Generation Audio Engine Under the Hood

Studio One employs a state-of-the-art audio engine that delivers incredibly clear, accurate sound. Studio One Professional features a 64-bit floating-point version of this audio engine that automatically switches between 64- and 32-bit operation on the fly to accommodate 32-bit plug-ins. This means you always get the highest possible sound quality and blazing speed. Studio One Artist and Studio One Producer feature the same audio engine but it always operates in 32-bit mode.

One of the reasons veteran DAW designers Wolfgang Kundrus and Matthias Juwan jumped at the chance to create a new program was because they could totally start fresh, instead of having to deal with old code that wasn’t compatible with a next-generation audio engine.

For Studio One, they designed a highly optimized and streamlined codebase that makes minimal demands on your CPU. Studio One Professional’s 64-bit, double-precision, floating-point audio engine produces fidelity that is equal to or better than that of the other leading DAWs. And with the ability to automatically switch between 64- and 32-bit operation on the fly, Studio One Professional can accommodate any combination of 32- and 64-bit plug-ins and still maintain the best possible sound quality. Studio One Artist and Studio One Producer use a 32-bit version of the same engine and provides sound quality that is very nearly the equal of their 64-bit sibling.

Real-time auto/manual time-stretching and resampling capabilities are seamlessly integrated. You don’t see them, you just use them.

Compatible and Easy to Configure
Studio One is compatible with any ASIO-, Windows Audio-, or Core Audio-compliant audio interface, including, of course, the entire line of PreSonus interfaces.
