Studio One (64-bit) for Windows

Studio One (64-bit) is a digital audio workstation developed by PreSonus for recording, editing, mixing, and producing music. It includes a multitrack timeline where audio and MIDI data can be arranged, with support for virtual instruments, sample libraries, and third-party plugins. The software integrates editing tools such as quantization, pitch correction, chord mapping, and automation control. 

Built-in effects and instruments expand its production scope, while external hardware routing is supported through flexible input and output management. Studio One (64-bit) also incorporates chord and arrangement tools, providing structured ways to manipulate musical media elements directly within its composition and sequencing environment.

Sound and structure

Studio One (64-bit) includes built-in plugins for EQ, dynamics, reverb, and modulation, as well as integrated mastering tools. MIDI sequencing supports quantization, articulation management, and scale locking. Chord track functions enable harmonic content to be defined and applied across tracks. The integrated sampler, Impact XT, for drum programming with parameter editing, as well as presence instruments, and a synthesizer. Recording supports both punch-in/out functionality and flexible routing of inputs, with automation curves.

The browser panel provides access to instruments, effects, loops, and presets, with plugin formats visually distinguished. Mixer and console views can be toggled for signal routing, inserts, and bus assignments. Editors such as the Note Editor and Drum Editor open within the same workspace rather than in separate windows. Track headers provide quick access to channel settings, inserts, and sends. However, it has a limited range of virtual instruments.

When an audio file is placed onto the timeline, it can be automatically analyzed for tempo, key, chord data and can be edited such as slicing, comping, and quantization. MIDI input is recorded directly into the arrange window, triggering instrument devices routed through tracks. Automation lanes expand below tracks and follow assigned parameters across playback. Export functions adapt behavior based on routing conditions, selecting offline or real-time rendering automatically.

One track at a time

Studio One (64-bit) provides tools for recording, sequencing, arranging, mixing, and mastering within a single environment. Its capabilities include multitrack editing, virtual instruments, chord and arrangement functions, integrated mastering, and plugin hosting. The interface is centered around a timeline with editors and a modular mixer. Actions are executed through drag-and-drop, menus, and automation lanes that update dynamically during playback. However, it has a limited range of virtual instruments.
