It’s lifetime activation means that the full version is yours, and you can forget the ongoing subscription fees and random “in-app purchase” charges. Studio One 7 Pro is a comprehensive music production software that caters to both the experienced producer and those just starting out with their journey into music production. Let’s take a look at what makes PreSonus Studio One 7 Pro your go-to music production software.
Features and Benefits of PreSonus Studio One 7 Pro
1. Lifetime Activation – No Recurring Fees
You pay for PreSonus Studio One 7 Pro once and get lifetime activation; a one-time payment accesses all the powerful features without perpetually monthly or yearly subscriptions. Professional producers and musicians, or hobbyists who want lifetime access, can continually create without interruption or more monetary obligations to gain access to some of the best tools available.
2. Drag-and-Drop Workflow
Studio One 7 Pro boasts a drag-and-drop workflow that closely aligns with the way audio engineers work. PreSonus designed the DAW to accommodate the workflow that feels most natural. For example, if I want to add an effect within a track, I can simply drag it from the browser and drop it on the track. If I want to duplicate a sample, I can drag and drop again. Studio One also allows users to move, copy, arrange and create using its intuitive drag-and-drop interface. There are no complex menus or layers of clicking.
This reduces time spent on production, reduces the technicalities of mixing, thus creating more enjoyable time in making music.
3. Powerful Recording and Editing Tools
Everything you need to record and edit studio-quality audio comes with Studio One 7 Pro: record an unlimited number of audio takes – vocals, guitar, drums, entire bands; record in the best quality your audio interface can handle up to 192kHz/24-bit. Every emotional nuance of your performance is preserved in the highest possible resolution for ultimate sound.
Editing is a breeze thanks to Bend Markers for timing shifts, Comping to piece together the best parts of various takes, Slip Editing for surgical precision on every note, and tons of study Advanced Audio Editing features such as event stretching, pitch correction and quantization.
4. Integrated Melodyne for Pitch Correction
(Studio One 7 Pro has Celemony Melodyne Essential integrated directly into the DAW as a pitch-correction and editing plug-in, allowing you to correct wayward notes, correct the timing or even change the song’s melody completely.) In a DAW that takes advantage of ARA 2, Melodyne feels integrated into your audio program. It becomes a part of your project. Once you install it, you can select any audio track in your project, begin to tweak the pitch, and watch the grid reflect your changes on the fly.
Melodyne works best with its simple, powerful interface, which makes it as easy to use for subtle pitch corrections as it is for more creative applications, such as vocal harmonies or experimental sound design. Fixing an imperfect performance or adding a creative touch, you will not be able to do it without Celemony Melodyne.
5. Powerful MIDI Composition Tools
In fact, if you’re into MIDI, PreSonus Studio One 7 Pro gives you all the tools you need to compose, arrange and play with the virtual instruments you love. The MIDI editor is a breeze when it comes to programming drums, lead lines and chord progressions, enables you to convert audio to MIDI in real-time, and gives you access to Chord Track so you can experiment with different harmonies and progressions. Change the entire harmonic structure of your song on a dime, if you wish.
Chord Detection in Studio One’s MIDI editor will even analyse your recorded performances and convert them to MIDI, ready to be dragged and dropped into an elaborate arrangement, and to experiment with new musical ideas. And with MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) support, you can further refine your virtual instrument performance, adding slides, bends and other expressive control to each virtual note, using sophisticated controllers.
6. Virtual Instruments and Sound Libraries
All of the virtual instruments and sound collections in Studio One 7 Pro cover every musical style from realistic orchestral sounds to punchy electronic synth sounds to classic piano tones. When used in conjunction with Presence XT, Mai Tai and Impact XT (all instruments included in Studio One) you have many great sound palettes at your fingertips.
With its 32-band EQ, an array of effects, and the ability to layer instruments, tweak parameters and create your own custom patches, Studio One 7 Pro is perfect for producers who want to expand their creative palette and craft new sounds. The included sample libraries are full of content that will inspire you, ranging from loops and one-shots to full, developed instrument samples.
7. Advanced Mixing and Mastering Capabilities
When you’re ready to mix and master your tracks, Studio One 7 Pro offers all of the tools you need to create a modern, professional-quality sound, with its familiar-looking analog-style Mix Console that includes all the latest digital features such as bus channels, aux sends, inserts and automation.
Studio One’s Mix Engine FX adds emulations of consoles, tape saturation and tube drive directly to the mix engine for adding warmth and character to your mixes. The mastering suite lets you finish your project, adjust levels and prepare it for release, doing everything in the same software environment. This tight coupling of mixing and mastering sections with both being seen and controlled from the same console allows the producer to go from the production phase to the mastering phase without exporting files or switching from one program to another.
8. Show Page for Live Performance
Studio One 7 Pro also features a Show Page that’s great for live play. Whether you’re performing solo or in a band, you can use the Show Page to trigger backing tracks, virtual instruments and effects live on stage. Pull up the Setlist, arrange your songs into a set list, and switch seamlessly between the different parts of your songs to make live performances as fun and engaging as ever.
This makes Studio One not just a musical production tool, but also a musical performance platform – the perfect way to take the music you create from the studio to the stage.
9. Collaboration Tools and Cloud Integration
It has become easier than ever to collaborate with other musicians and producers using Studio One 7 Pro’s collaboration features, whether you are working on the same project simultaneously with PreSonus Sphere’s built-in integration of Studio One Artist and Pro (you can save your projects to the cloud and invite collaborators, then switch between versions), or working separately on the same project, but sharing changes as you go. You can also make use of integration with popular cloud services to back up your projects or share them with your clients.
I’ve also used the Note Exchange feature to share notes with other Studio One users so I could get feedback, collaborate on a mix, or simply share my latest creation. If you’re just getting into music and want to collaborate with others, Studio One makes it easy. It can help to keep the creative process flowing, even if you’re working from home.
10. Arranger Track and Scratch Pads
Composing and arranging songs becomes easier by using Studio One’s Arranger Track and Scratch Pads. The Arranger Track allows you to experiment with song sections, move them around and listen to how different arrangements sound, without affecting the original timeline. Create different versions of your song, try out different song structures and explore freely with different variations.
The Scratch Pad is a simple feature that provides you with a separate ‘playground’ area to experiment. Think you’d like to try a new verse? Or change the key of your song? Or perhaps chuck the whole thing away and start a completely new song altogether? You can start as many Scratch Pads as you like. Nothing you do in your new Scratch Pad will affect your main project unless you decide you want to commit it. It’s a safe place to play around.
11. Flexible Workflow Customization
With PreSonus Studio One 7 Pro, you can customize your workspace to suit your workflow, creating custom shortcuts, configuring toolbars and even designing your workspace, so it’s easy to record, produce, mix and master in the way that works best for you. Multi-touch support for Windows touchscreens and tablets means that you can mix and edit by touching and turning your music – and in a natural way that is intuitive for everyone.
12. Integrated Video Editing
For musicians and producers who work on multimedia, Studio One 7 Pro also has basic video editing functions. You can import video content, put music or sound effects in it, and then put your audio on a timeline to line up to the video. This is also a great tool for anyone who needs to score videos, make a soundtrack or add Foley to their film run.
13. Unlimited Tracks and Plug-ins
Another difference with some other DAWs, Studio One 7 Pro has no restrictions on the number of tracks and plug-ins you can use: you can add as many audio, MIDI, instrument or effect tracks as you need or want. Work on an acoustic demo if you want – or a multi-track 200-piece orchestral score. You won’t find any technical barriers to hold you back. Same with third-party plug-ins: you use as many as your system can handle, so it’s a good option for when you need to mix in 50 effects and a whole host of virtual instruments.
14. High-Quality Built-in Effects
There are loads of high-quality effects plug-ins included, including one each of EQs, compressors, reverbs, delays, chorus, phaser, flanger, vocoder, tape simulator and more. Studio One 7 Pro’s Fat Channel XT provides you with a classic studio sound.
When recording, you can use the free Ampire plug-in with realistic amp and cabinet simulations for guitar and bass. Dial in a great tone using one of 26 amps and 31 cabs. You can use one of the 92 included effects, or mix in used ones from any third-party plug-in while you record. When it comes time to mix, you will have all the effects you could possibly need right there in the virtual instrument itself. Not only that, but you will be able to master, Tune and correct your sound without the need to use other third-party plug-ins.
