Recording

• Unlimited Audio & Instrument Tracks: Audio is recorded to Audio Tracks, while musical performance data is recorded to Instrument Tracks.
• 7 Virtual Instruments Included: Ignite your imagination with 7 included virtual instruments: Deep Flight One, Lead Architect, Impact, Presence, Sample One, Mojito, and Mai Tai.
• Auto Punch: Automatically begin and end recording at specified points and the newly recorded audio is automatically crossfaded at its edges with the existing Audio Event so the transition between the old and new audio is not audible.
• Smart Templates to Start Recording Fast: Quick-start essential workflows for recording, mixing, mastering, beat production, or simply playing a virtual instrument – all with a single click. Load a Smart Template with Pattern editing already open and only the features you need visible, or Open a Smart Template with your favorite channel strips loaded and a drop zone to quickly load stems.
• Note FX: A powerful tool for working with MIDI. Create arpeggiator patterns and complex chords by transforming a set of input notes on an instrument track into a new set of notes that the instrument plays.
• Retrospective Record/Pre-Record Audio Input: Save the audio you create before recording begins. Capture every note you play on your MIDI keyboard or controller - even without hitting Record - and never miss another great song idea again.
• Print Effects While Recording: Place a compressor, EQ, or other effect on a vocal Input Channel in order to save time and computer resources later when mixing.
• Loop Recording on Audio Tracks: Loop a specific section while recording in order to capture multiple performances or takes of the same mussical passage. If Record Takes to Layers is engaged in the Record panel, the takes are automatically placed in separate layers which are expanded when recording in stopped.
• 64-Bit WAV Recording: Experience the highest-resolution audio production and mastering, thanks to PreSonus' support for 64-bit floating-point WAV format - the recommended recording format for audio interfaces with 32-bit resolution. With this format option, the maximum recording and processing precision now reaches 64-bit/786 kHz.
• AI Powered Stem Separation: Seamlessly separate samples into Drums, Bass, Vocals, and Other elements for easy instrumentals or swift and simple sample chops.
• Lyrics Track: Add Lyrics to your audio or MIDI production and use words to navigate your session.

Editing

• Integrated Launcher: Audition new arrangements, experiment with loops and patterns, and effortlessly drag and drop them into your Timeline when they're done.
• Interactive Scale and Loop Tools: All scale-related features are in one convenient spot: Work with preset scales, or create your own; use the time-saving Loop Tool as an intuitive alternative to duplicating events; or use the Event Loop to quickly create looped copies.
• Harmonic Editing: Only Studio One Pro features harmonic editing for both audio and MIDI.
• Arranger Track: Reorder, duplicate, and remove entire Song sections across all of your Tracks at the same time. You can experiment with different arrangements, swap verses, lengthen or shorten choruses, and structure a Song exactly the way you want.
• Pitch correction with advanced Melodyne integration: Time- and pitch-correcting audio made quick and easy with Celemony Melodyne 5 Essential included.
• Video Track Video Editing: Particularly useful for scoring motion pictures, enjoy basic video editing, Audio sub-track and Channel, extended video export options, apply video frame rate to song, Spot option for Events, Timecode overlay, and Video file support for Drop Zones.
• Time Stretching: Tempo changes cause Audio Events on the selected Track to be dynamically stretched so that the Events' start and end times stay in sync with their Bars (bars and beats) positions. The length and internal timing of the Event is affected in the stretching process but the pitch of the audio remains unaffected.
• Comping: Record take after take without ever stepping out of your groove, and when you've built up enough layers, use the Range Tool to promote the best parts.
• Pattern Editor: Effortlessly create drums, basslines, and synth leads using variable sequence lengths, unlimited variations, and more.
• Scratch Pads: Test out remix ideas or capture a synth riff without affecting your arrangement or creating a new session.
• Phase-Coherent Multitrack Quantization/Groove Extraction: Easily detect transients, tab to transients, and quantize recorded audio to match your song.

Mixing

• The Dolby Atmos Renderer: Studio One Pro 7 provides essential mixing tools for mixing, monitoring, and exporting in Dolby Atmos. All audio and plan information routed to the Main Output of the Console is processed by the Dolby Atmos Renderer before being passed to your speakers and headphones.
• Advanced tempo detection: Find the tempo of a loop or performance and match the song tempo with a single click.
• FX Chains: Store presets of an entire chain of effects plug-ins as an FX Chain, allowing quick recall of complex effects setups on any Track.
• Fader Flip: One-click, intuitive fader control of all Channel Sends to effects or Cue mixes.
• Groups/Folders: Group multiple tracks together so that any edits done to an Event on one Track in the Group are automatically done to all Events for all Tracks in the Group, and organize existing tracks in Folders.

Mastering

• Made for Mastering — The Project Page: Studio One Pro is the only DAW with an integrated mastering suite—called the Project Page—giving you everything you need for professional Mastering, including a Spectral Analyzer, Goniometer, Level Meter, Digital Release Maker, and more. And only Studio One Pro links Songs with Mastering Projects, so you can update mixes as needed without losing Fades, Clip Gain edits, or any other mastering work.
• Target loudness options: Choose from several Target Loudness options to automatically adjust your digital releases for Apple Music, YouTube, Spotify, and many more.

• Record audio or MIDI directly into Cells
• Edit Cells content using all available editing tools.
• Combine Cells into Scenes to create patterns or complete song sections.
• Create any number of Playlists from Scenes.

• Hands-on control, directly from an ATOM or ATOM SQ controller, or Studio One Remote (update required).
• Native support for Novation Launchpad mini [MK3], Launchpad X, and Launchpad Pro [MK3].

Scenes & Playlists

Part of the Launcher—and unique to Studio One Pro 7—is the ability to arrange Scenes into Playlists. Like the Arranger Track on the Timeline, Playlists are a quick and easy way to create, edit and test arrangements, and can also be used for live performance.

Scene Playlist Inspector

The Scene Playlist Inspector is located conveniently between Launcher and Browser. Creating Playlists is as easy as dragging Scenes into any order and setting a number of repeats.

Live Performance with Scenes

Scenes can be set to loop indefinitely until sending a command to continue, which is great for live performance.

Loop Tool for Events and Parts

The Loop Tool for Pattern Parts is now available for any type of Event or Part. As an alternative to duplicating events, the Loop Tool is a timesaver for intuitive arranging and production.

Event Loop Option

A new Loop option has been added to the Event/Part context menu. Enabling this option loops the Event or Part to the Song end marker, or to the next Event or Part on the same track, filling empty space.

Easily Play Sessions in a Different Key

Often, a session needs to be played in a different key, either temporarily to help the artist recording his/her part, or permanently for creative reasons. In both cases, the new Global Transpose feature, which is part of the Transport Bar, provides a stunningly simple solution.

Real-time Transposition

Thanks to the exceptional quality of the élastique Pro pitch-shifting algorithms used in Studio One Pro 7, both Audio and Instrument Tracks can be transposed in real time, simply by checking which tracks should follow transpose and then entering a (relative) transpose value in the Transport bar.

Tool bar for scale tools in Note Editor

Studio One Pro 7 provides several new features and enhancements for editing note events in-scale/key. These have been consolidated into a single panel, conveniently located in the Note Editor tool bar.

Scale Editor for User Scales

The Scale feature inside the Note Editor now supports custom user scales, which consists of a scale keyboard for editing and a dedicated preset manager. User scales are shown inside the scale menu, below the preset scales.

Filter Notes to Scale Option

Editing note events in scale is now faster and easier than ever with the new "In Scale" visibility filter option. When activated, pitches outside the currently selected scale are hidden, allowing note events to be added, shifted, or copied exclusively within the scale

“Hide Unused Pitches” Option in Piano View

A new Loop option has been added to the Event/Part context menu. Enabling this option loops the Event or Part to the Song end marker, or to the next Event or Part on the same track, filling empty space.

Per-Pitch Resolution & Step Count in Melodic Patterns

Another highly requested feature, Patterns in Melodic mode now offer per-pitch resolution and step count, previously available only in Drum Mode

Note Editor – Note Selection Improvements

When selecting Note Events inside the Note Editor (Piano and Drum views) using the Arrow tool, snapping is disabled to allow for more precise selection. Also, selected Note Events are highlighted immediately when touched (instead of at mouse-release).

In-App Sample Discovery Tool

Users can also utilize the all-new Splice Search with Sound tool to find matching loops and sounds for an existing session by selecting one or more Events/Parts and dragging them into the Search with Sound drop zone in the Splice tab.

A mixdown is created and uploaded automatically, prompting the Search with Sound tool to find content that matches the reference audio's style and key.

Thousands of Premium Samples Included

Studio One Pro 7 users can create a free Splice account to gain access to a premium, hand-picked library of 2,500+ curated loops and samples, with more to be added regularly for all Pro 7 users.

Add Access to Millions of Splice Samples

To maximize the new Splice integration, Studio One Pro 7 users new to Splice can sign up for a plan starting at US$12.99 per month to gain access to millions of samples in Splice's extensive library.

Existing Splice users can easily sign into their account from the Splice tab in Studio One Pro 7 for full access to the entire catalog.

7-Day Free Trial of Splice

Splice has also partnered with PreSonus to provide Studio One Pro 7 users with free 7-day trials to test the new integration to the fullest in the DAW.

New CV Instrument

Hybrid studio users with vintage or modern analog hardware or modular synthesizers are now able to control their instruments directly from Studio One Pro 7.

When combined with a compatible, multi-out audio interface, the CV Instrument can translate note trigger and pitch information from Instrument Tracks to analog triggers and control voltages, which are sent from the assigned interface outputs directly to the synthesizer’s control voltage inputs.

The output signal from the external instrument can be monitored directly from the Studio One Pro 7 mixer. The CV Instrument even provides a calibration option to tune the connected oscillator and eliminate pitch drift.

Lead Architect Now Included

Lead Architect is now included with all Studio One Pro 7 perpetual licenses. This virtual instrument combines post-processed synthesis and sampling, integrated audio and effects, and an intuitive new user interface to generate powerful leads and sizzling solo sounds for hybrid melodic sequencing.

Presence XT Editor & All Presence XT Add-on Sound Libraries Now Included

Presence XT Editor is now included in Studio One Pro 7 unlocking powerful sample editing, mapping and even scripting functionality to Presence, effectively turning the sample player into a powerful sound design workstation.

In addition, all Presence XT Add-On Sound Libraries including the Deep Flight One sound set, the XT Core Library, Studio Grand, and PreSonus Symphonic Orchestra are now also included. Samples may be imported into Presence directly, or by opening one of many supported third-party sampler formats.

CLAP Plug-in & Instrument Support

CLAP (CLever Audio Plug-in) is an open-source audio plug-in format designed to provide greater flexibility and efficiency for developers and users. This new, open-source format—already supported by developers such as Fab Filter, U-he and Plogue—is now available in Studio One Pro 7 for all platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux).

CLAP plug-ins and instruments are presented inside the Studio One Pro Browser side-by-side with any other installed formats. The Plug-in Manager can be used to filter duplicate plug-ins as before.

Since CLAP is a new and evolving format, additional features and options will become available with future Studio One Pro releases.

Improved Auto-Gain Option for Plug-ins

Several Studio One plug-ins now include an improved Auto Gain (Automatic Gain Compensation) option, which ensures better results. This relates to how gain changes are determined, which varies between different plug-ins.

The updated Auto Gain option is available in the Bitcrusher, Channel Strip, Compressor, and ProEQ plug-ins. Importantly, these changes do not affect existing sessions or presets; they only take effect when Auto mode is newly enabled.

Audio Batch Converter Now Included

The powerful Audio Batch Converter, previously available only as an add-on, is now included with Studio One Pro 7 at no extra cost. This tool handles automated file format conversion, audio repair, volume adjustments, and even plug-in processing for multiple files simultaneously. Audio files can be sent directly to the Audio Batch Converter from the Browser.
