Studio One creates an effect track in the mixer with the preset applied to it and routes the send for you.
Maybe you want to send a signal to a send effect you haven’t created yet? Drag a preset (delay for example) to the send of the mixer channel you want to use. So pick an effect preset from the browser and drag it on to the arrange space and Studio One immediately creates the appropriate audio track, mixer routing, puts the effect in place, loads the preset and opens the effect pane. In Studio One many such tasks are completed automatically. It’s often a fiddly process requiring repetitive tasks and clicking on small buttons. Normally in a DAW such as this tasks such as adding a track with effects would involve a number of stages such as, right click on a blank area, create a track type of the desired format, add an effect to an effect rack, select the effect from within the chosen track on your mixer and so on. Essentially most of your needs are accessible directly from the working area without digging into menus. The Browser is a core component to Studio One and provides quick access to your instruments, effects, sounds, files and most items in your Browser can be dragged straight into your project. To the bottom is the transport bar (sadly undockable as far as I can tell) and bottom right, three buttons directly launch the Edit, Mix and Browser sub windows(which you can rapidly toggle between with the function keys). Top left of the arrange area are quick access buttons for track list, inspector, automation, tempo and marker tracks.
Beneath the menu is your toolbar (shortcuts being the 1-8 keys) and common functions e.g. If you look top right you’ll see the three buttons to switch between the environments. This is where most of the action happens.įirst a word about the layout and quick access to key features. Choose a title and location for your work click OK and you are progressed to your main working area : the Song page. In this instance I have chosen an empty template. When creating a new project you may choose from a number of templates, and if necessary specify audio formats, song duration, time signature and so on. Here is where you configure your hardware (as you can see the iTwo interface which was recognised automatically is displayed graphically), modify your profile, create or open existing songs or projects, and access the integrated social media features, NimBit and Soundcloud, updates and demos/tutorial feeds. (You can even near-instantaneously switch between multiple song instances loaded concurrently from a drop down box.) Fire up Studio One and you are greeted with the Start window. There are three main environment pages : Start, Song and Project which you can skip between at any time. Many actions are performed by simple drag and drop operations or in efficient steps, in contrast to alternatives which may take a more convoluted route to achieve the same result.

Studio One takes an uncluttered single window approach (some windows can be undocked) and the emphasis is on workflow from the start to finish.

It is however indisputably a professional grade solution in terms of functionality which runs on 32bit or 64bit platforms, PC or Mac OS X, and the Pro version offers a premium 64-bit double-precision audio engine. First released in 2009, Studio One is still considered a new kid on the block compared to established market players like Logic, Pro Tools and Cubase which have evolved over decades. In co-operation with PreSonus and a team including other ex Steinberg programmers Studio One was developed, promising similar traits to Nuendo in a recording environment : stability, streamlined features, a highly efficient and fluid workflow and lack of ‘legacy bloat’. In 2006 Juwan founded KristalLabs in partnership with Wolfgang Kundrus, primary author of the first iteration of revered post-production Sternberg DAW Nuendo. Studio One is a development of the KRISTAL audio engine, coded by Matthias Juwan formerly of Steinberg. Following on from his recent reviews of the PreSonus HD7 headphones and AudioBox iTwo interface, in this article Paul takes a look at PreSonus’ Studio One DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software.
