The best just got better with Studio One 5.5
Studio One 5.5 is the newest update to the award-winning DAW, introducing all-new project page features, strum note pattern and draw chord stacks and a whole host of new features to improve your workflow and optimise your Presonus experience live and in the studio.
Track automation in the Project Page is now possible allowing you to take full control of your track and automate aspects including master volume and plug-in parameters. Automation will change the way you work with tracks either in real-time with your mouse or controller or using the powerful tools you're already familiar with in PreSonus Studio. New Clip Gain Envelopes enable you to fix gain issues while mastering, negating the need for compressor or limiter plug-ins and the new Listen Bus means you can monitor through separate outputs without affecting your master output resulting in a vastly improved workflow. You'll also be able to reduce processing power through the Track Transform feature that allows you to create rendered files with all effects and automation parameters included.
PreSonus has also added enhanced features to keep your creative spark alive, including the ability to create strum patterns by simple dragging of notes in a chord stack, making rhythmic embellishment easier than ever! You can now also drag and drop MIDI files to the Chord Track to extract chords allowing you to prototype songs and audition your ideas.
To further improve your mixdown process, PreSonus has included a feature that allows you to export in multiple formats at once, even allowing for different settings and without extra rendering time being added. In addition, you can also select the Loudness setting for digital release so your tracks are optimised for whatever streaming service or digital platform you want to upload to.
Drag and drop philosophy
Studio One was the first DAW to incorporate the drag-and-drop workflow that continues to be a key feature in the latest version. Whether you're using loops, MIDI instruments, plugins, or even presets. Absolutely anything can be dragged into your session from the DAW's revolutionary browser. This is ideal for allowing you to focus on what's most important, the music. You'll no longer have to break away from your creative vision in order to navigate through a sea of mundane, unnecessary menus. Feel free to copy FX chains over from another channel, and even switch MIDI to audio, and audio back to MIDI. Working in the box has never been so easy thanks to Studio One 5 Professional.
21st century composition
PreSonus fully understand the wants and needs of their demographic. They recognise that modern composers need the latest and greatest electronic sounds, whilst also having access to conventional scoring applications. That's why PreSonus have taken the best aspects of their renowned software, Notation, to be included in Studio One 5 Professional.
Notation allows you to view multiple staves simultaneously in order to work on voicing. The inclusion of the score symbol palette allows you to increase or decrease dynamics, as well as, adding tremolos, trills, and much more at any stage in the process. You are also able to adjust your musical editor view on a track by track basis to suit your every want and need. This is a unique tool, not common in the digital domain.
The sky's the limit
When composing and arranging, you want to be able to try out every idea possible. Thanks to Studio One 5 Professional, every avenue is yours to explore. Long gone are the days of monotonous transposition, cutting, and pasting in order to flesh out an arrangement. Scratch pads allow you to test your ideas instantly. Use these to make moving sections as easy as moving individual tracks. Stand out from the crowd. The included virtual and multi-instruments allow you to be innovative, creating sounds that are wholly unique to you. Thanks to the inclusion of auxiliary inputs, you can now incorporate your favourite hardware synths, rhythm machines, and groove boxes into your productions. Give your old toys a new lease of life!
Hybrid approach to mixing
The vast suite of redesigned plugins will give your approach to mixing a whole new lease of life. Plugins with input drives now offer a State Space-modelled analog input. This is ideal for allowing you to create the right amount of saturation, allowing your virtual instruments to cut through the densest of mixes with minimal processing required.
Studio One 5 Professional's inclusion of the ground-breaking Pipeline XT ensures can use your trusted collection of highly-sought-after analog signal processors as easily as plug-ins. By using using the channel editor, you can take your mixes to the next level, creating complex effects chains to process your audio. Splitter mode allows you run various plugins in parallel. This is great for adding power and presence to your work. You'll be in awe of of the Mix Engine FX. It provides you with State Space models of iconic consoles to add unique artefacts, colouration, analog noise,and saturation to your mixes. Achieve the magic of analog hardware in the box - minus the hefty price tag for its up-keep and maintenance!
Devoted mastering suite
Studio One Professional is the only DAW that incorporates songs and stems with mastered projects. If there's any changes you wish to make during the mastering process, revert back to the song page and make your tweaks. You'll find that the revisions automatically update so you can continue mastering without having to restart. How great is that! You'll be free to use your favourite and native plugins for equalisation, dynamic manipulation, saturation, and much more to create a polished, professional sound. With an extensive library of tools to help ensure your track is optimised for playback, you can be confident that you masters will sound good on any listening format. When you're ready, use the DDP export, CD burning, and direct upload points to distribute your music with your fan base, clients and team.
