Moved from PT to S1 almost 2 years ago and never looked back! Now on version 4 and its absolutely fantastic. There's only one thing that i miss from PT though, AudioSuite! I know S1 has Event Fx but i know most people like me who migrated from PT need something that works jus like AudioSuite. Can't wait to see PreSonus introduce something like that in the future updates. Nice Video Ryan. Come to the dark side! 😀
I started with Reaper, which was ok (again, this is many years back) but when I bought the Presonus AudioBox interface it came with the Artist version of Studio One. I upgraded to Pro and never looked back. Very easy to use.
I recently ditched the Mac after decades use to PC so I had to give up Logic Pro X. I looked at all the DAWs and concluded Studio One 4 was the best one to migrate over. Well after several months use Studio One 4 has exceeded my expectations its really intuitive and easy to figure out and start being productive quickly.
Presonus hired the original team that created Steinberg Cubase. They left when Yamaha bought Steinberg that is why it is a lot like Cubase. The original programmer who designed Cubase created StudioOne. If anyone wanted some history. Love you guys.
Been using it since version 1. It's much more than "a DAW that takes this and that from another DAW", Studio One has established many things we consider obvious now that other DAWs took from it too. It's great and it literally changed the game ever since it came out.
As a home recording hobbyist that has tried REAPER, Studio 1, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Cubase, MixBus and Guitar Tracks I have come to the point that I think the most important thing is to really learn one or two very deeply as opposed to the basics of all.
I use and like Mixbus, but I wouldn't use it if I used MIDI instruments as it's not strong in that area. It's great as an audio recorder which is all I want. It's inexpensive to purchase but doesn't come with a lot of plug-ins. Mixbus plug-ins are very good but if you already have a good collection of VST plug-ins, you can import and use them. I've tried to like Reaper, but I just find myself ignoring it after a day or two. I used to use Sonar for years (started at 2.0) and liked it until it became a bloated mess.
Studio one..., I was hooked once I broke down and tried it... I switched... immediately ... don't know how to explain it but it feels smooth and easy to learn.
7:20 Yes you can! Logic has exactly the same thing, it’s called the Step Editor. You also have 2 other ways to edit velocity, there’s a Velocity Tool that can be used in the Piano Roll itself. You can also edit the velocities in the Controller under the Piano Roll. Although I’m a proud Logic Pro x user, I’ve always been intrigued by Studio One.
I started a splice plan for it today and found it a pretty easy going adjustment from everything else I've tried out - most familiar with FL and Reaper. Top notch 😁
Been using Studio One for more than 5 years... It's been great and the fact that I can do some DIY Mastering in it as a full project has been essential for my indie releases
Hey Ryan when your in the midi editor look to the left and click on the little drum icon. You will be in drum edit mode for midi. I know you will love that and Presonus has its own mastering screen as well.
I downloaded the demo. Like you say...it's so intuitive, and I fell in love with it instantly. The pattern editor blew me away with its simplicity and power. The way clone blocks work etc is something that took me by surprise but quickly became part of my workflow. It's insane and this software has got me excited again. It's an enabler that you barely notice and that's what you need. 10 days before the demo ran out I've just gone and bought it.
Im happy this gets your stamp of approval. Studio one was my first real DAW; I switched to Ableton a long time ago but I still have fond memories of It. Lately I found PreSonus is offering cross upgrade for Studo one 4 Pro from all past versions. It’s 150 but I’m so excited to potentially reunite with Studio one (and actually know what to properly do lol) Much respect Ryan 🤘
Interesting how you didn't get a long with pro tools when I'm seeing SO MANY similarities between this and PT. Everything from the ease of I/O setup, to sends and plug ins, to midi notes customisation and velocity changes it's pracitcally the same. I''ve only ever used PT, I've dabbled in Ableton and Logic and the studio I work in is looking to get Studio 1 for the ease of functionality and having devoted hardware. I'm excited to give this a go especially when I see so many similarities to what I know in PT.
I've gotten a version of this DAW with my Studio 192 Mobile. I'm debating whether I should make the switch from Reaper to Studio one 4. I'm looking for the Kenny Gioia equivalent for Studio one, anyone know a great channel to follow for tutorials on this DAW?
The best Daw I've ever used. I am a long time Studio One user as well. I have moved from Sonar to Studio One. Best moved I've ever made. Let me know if you need some tips on some of the functionalities...
Yes, you would need to expand the mixer and drag and drop the plugin on the mixer or the console. The plugin (s) will be available on the mixer screen. Once displayed on the mixer window, single click and the plugin will display on the screen. Let me know if you're able to do it. I will be glad to provide additional info if necessary.
Been a fan of Studio One for about 5 years now. My biggest gripe was the sizeable drain on the CPU. About a year ago they added a new feature where you can adjust (min-max) this (buffer) with a quick couple clicks. Lots of updates and continuously making improvements. Started with Artist, then upgraded to Producer, and then finally Professional. The upgrades are reasonably priced, and the quality is exceptional.
You showed the different ways of organizing the plugins. Just wanted to mention that in Folders view you can make your own folders and organize however makes sense to you.
So happy another DAW user has tried studio one. It is such a well rounded DAW. My #1
5 років тому
Trying to make up my mind on DAWs... I haven't used any for a few years. After looking around over Christmas vacation and painting myself into a corner, I find your video. Thanks! Nice walk through, thoughts, and reasoning! Happy New Year!
I've been using Studio one for well over a year now and I have absolutely no interest in switching to another daw. The biggest reason I went with studio one was the price. 400 bucks got me a fully featured, visually appealing, efficient and effective daw. Not too mention, free feature updates and Presonus is generous with giving away free plug ins. Definitely has earned the top spot in my list.
what about cakewalk which is free and offers some free amp sims and stuff, probably not as good as the free plugins as a paid 400 daw, but hey, if you get the basic platform for free? why not!
Its a free version of the paid thing though, Cakewalk is like a paid version gone free with all the features. Even 3rd party amp sims form TH3 which are pretty good i have to say compared to the free plugins ive been using. I got a presonus interface, and I realy like it so I have no doubts their software is good too, but you cant compete with free, i think it'll take some times for the others to adjust by offering more in their paid packages. If I could afford it i would get FL studio however, just for the effects, which they also sell seperately so theres no point really in spending money on a DAW it seems unless you really like it.
mike jones everyone is always on a budget. I had to save for a few to be able to get studio one. Prior to studio one i had been using cubase le and pro tools 10 for a while. Let me tell you, there is more to a daw than its built in plug ins and virtual instruments. After using studio one, i would never go back to another daw for my personal use. Studio one is very streamlined in its UI which makes song writing easier and more efficient for me. Setting up a session is a breeze compared to others I've used. Midi is easy to edit as well. Bottom line is, if you're starting out and don't need the functionality of a quality daw to start, then anything free is better. Any money saved could be invested elsewhere. I also have a presonus interface, and it's integrated to work with studio one which adda to the convenience.
Samplitude X Pro 4 and its bigger brother, SEQUOIA X Pro 4 are for me the very best DAW there are, however, watching your video, I will give it a try to Studio One, it looks great and you explained very good, thank you and greetings from Germany, Alfredo
Surround sound support, OSC (and/or Advanced Host Integration with Komplete Kontrol MK2 www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/host-transport-control-doesnt-work-with-komplete-kontrol-mk2-due-to-ni-removing-mcu-support.329081/ ) would make S1 the go-to for most motion picture composers. :- ) I use it, but might be forced to jump ship.
Rick, you guys at Presonus never fail to amaze me. When I get rich (lol!) from song licensing I will build me an entire Presonus Recording Studio. (but don't hold your breath yet...lol!)
Been using studio one for 3 years now. It's the best DAW Imo and very easy to use. I'm self taught on how to use it and became proficient with it in about 2 months.
Honestly, once you get passed the learning curve and get familiar with the key commands in Pro Tools. It is super fast and you can really cruise along doing stuff!
The quickest way to ad plugins in Studio One is to open the Browser and drag and drop them directly into your insert bay. With sends, you can do exactly the same! Grab your fave reverb, drop it on a send, and Studio One creates and routs the send to an FX Channel for you.
I recently upgraded to Studio One 4 and to my surprise it has no fast fwd or rewind on interface. Tech response to this was I need a high resolution monitor. What? That's their reasoning? I am on limited income, cannot afford a new monitor right now but why with all the hype about this DAW wouldnt they make it compatible with everyone's gear? I have used Studio One for 7 years now and loved it, till now. Just my take on it.
Yep, used Studio One 3 for over a year. Being very familiar to other major DAW's (aside from Reaper) this one I found to have the best workflow, especially when switching hats from musician to audio engineer. Recommending it to people is hard tho, they just don't understand until they sit down and try it. Thanks for the review!
As a DAW amateur, using Studio One after FL Studio felt like i was driving a Tractor on a mountain instead of a jeep. It's really easy to use and understand. It's really intuitive as you say. I wonder why isn't it more popular.
Intuitive is right! I'm also a long-time Logic user and Studio One is the only other DAW I'll use in my home studio (and I've tried them all). I bought into Studio One at version 2.0.
Hey Fluff, the Piano roll can be setup like that in Logic no proplem, click the small icon at the top of the piano roll, check out the hyper editor too both similar! Enjoyed the vid though! Easy!
Nice to have a more, shall we say, traveled DAW user give their perspective on Studio One. Studio One 3 Artist Edition was my first full DAW and it was super easy to learn, I really miss some of the features it has now that I'm on reaper. I think you just convinced me to go back to it now. Thanks Fluff.
I would also maybe show the drag and drop feature out of the browser. Its one of my favorite features. I love that there is no work around and even Melodyne is drag and drop!
Coming from Reaper, what do you think Studio One does better, or did you find any feat that does does not exist in Reaper or! a feat that Studio One implemented better? I myself am a Reaper user and i love it, so just want to know why you switched :)
I'm using Studio One Version 2 and I love it. I tried Reaper, but it just didn't "click" with me for whatever reason. As stated, Studio One is very intuitive. Easy to set up and use for those with very little or no experience with other DAWs.
Nice to see you here joe, Another great thing about studio one for a beginner like me is I have a TON of Tutorials and pro guide videos from you joe! Muchh love from Malaysia ❤️
@@TheFunkyCriminal I love it personally.. I use the Mac for tracking because Core Audio is way better with multiple interfaces, but my PC's have way more horsepower so I use those for mixing.... Works beautifully...
I've got a similar history with DAW's and I tried Studio One v2 about 7 years ago? Something like that, anyway. I found it to be very quick and intuitive and have stuck with it since. I was using Ableton Live prior to S1, and I still miss some stuff from Live which I won't specify. Prior to Live I had used Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools, and my first DAW was Cakewalk in around 1996. I like them all to be perfectly honest. Each DAW has something that it excels with and other deficiencies. For me, the most important attribute is stability followed by workflow, then it's a wash of features which I prefer that make life a little easier along with stock plug-ins. I think at one point CPU load was very important to me but these days machines are so powerful that I don't really consider that any longer. S1 is a really good DAW. And while stability issues have started to crop up with Presonus' products which are driving me mad, S1 offers so many quality of life features that I think it far exceeds all other DAWS in terms of ergonomics. Particularly with v3 onward but even more so with v4. That being said, as I alluded to earlier, with each update of S1 I have more problems. Plug in issues, midi issues, audio driver issues, vst3's vst2's, crashing, missing files.... etc etc... it's kind of been a mess for the last year or so with Presonus and my machines. The current version of studio one is not compatible with the latest nVidia video drivers. So I'm running a much older video driver. I have had to migrate most of my vst3 library to vst2 because suddenly S1 has issues with these. There are other vst's which have had issues going back to 3.5 which are not resolved. My Presonus audio interface is suddenly getting errors when used with S1 and support, while they have tried to help. has been unhelpful. My guess is Presonus will iron things out over time. My personal belief is that they're spreading themselves too thin. With the huge success of their DAW they have dove in headfirst into so many other products that they're allowing their QC and attention to detail to go tot he wayside. I hope they sort out these issues. Otherwise, I'll be taking another spin on the DAW carousel soon.
So you do think and support from your perspective that Studio One Pro is better than Logic Pro X? I used to play drums, been retired many years now and I know not too much about the technical details of audio; not an audio engineer here although I do have the musical ear, so for the sake of having fun, I got Studio One Pro when it was 3.5 in late 2017 and through June 2018 I recorded close to 40 drums cover videos that I uploaded in youtube. My setup is 16 mic preamps coming into the DAW from 2 Focusrite Clarett 8PreX (wish I could afford the Apollos!) I have decent quality for as much as I could afford mics and a nice 7 piece DW set (use 13 inputs) then I use a drumless mp3 file for the song I want to lay drums on; after my inputs are in from the Focusrite, I load this map3 file and play over it recording the drums. that is the basic, now the fun; for the life of me I have not come to fully understand and take advantage of this software; maybe what I do it is too simple for it but know that I am lost on how to use its different tools; the tutorials may as well be in Chinese (remember I am not an audio engineer) the main issue I have is creating a click track; if I use drumless files from karaokeversion.com they provide a click track with their files but those files are depictions of the cover tunes you'd want many times executed horribly and poorly in comparison with the original so I like or would like to use drumless mp3 files provided by Guitar Hero; these at least are the original tunes where the drums track have been suppressed and although not perfect they are the closest thing to be playing that tune professionally as if it was with the original musicians; the problem is that after you convert one of these songs to mp3 to be able to load it onto Studio One Pro, it is almost impossible to create a click track in Studio One Pro that match the mp3 file (I do not understand very well yet no matter how many tutorials I watch how to work with time stretching and similar features like quantize or align the tempo in Studio One Pro) I have to mention the click track in these instance is paramount because it is not the same to play live with a band than to "follow" a recording you are listening in your ears just laying the tempo yourself without an electronic guide; basically as a drummer you are following a clock (the mp3) and you need help from another external clock to match that tempo as perfectly as possible or the differences can be heard on the recording and thus in my book, that would be not a good job (see and hear some of my recordings and mixing in youtube under "Rody Drums Covers") at first, the first experiments, I was having a horrible drums bleeding issues in that the playing of the drums was overpowering the mix in my ears; that was resolved at a very expensive price with Weston in Ears monitors which are custom molded to my ears now providing a perfect seal; I no longer hear the drums "outside" even when I am right there and now I can hear the mix all together in my ears; the difference is night and day but still I face the issue of the click track. Another issue is with the input and master output when the mix is done and faders are played with and effects added etc. In the Focusrite my gain levels are mostly less than a quarter turn of the knob because anything more than that hits the red! then in Studio One there is so much level gain I can allow before distorting, which makes my mix low in volume! I use the levels in the individual channels under -9 db because if I go over that I get clipping; then the master have to be at around those levels which makes some tunes ok as far as level goes but some not so much and no matter what I do, do not seem to get the optimal loud volume without distortion unless I play it safe on the db scale; as you can see, I know a little about audio fundamentals but I am lost on how to use the software properly to compensate for my lack of knowledge on the subject which is why I was thinking to try Logic Pro X before seen your video here (apparently I am better off not doing that!) I have not recorded anything since mid last year but I have many good drumless files ready as mp3 but they need, have to have a click track or it will sound less than perfect; one of these files is Rush song "Tom Sawyer" which has a time signature change in the middle to 7/4; this song is precise and playing it without a click to me is an offense to the original, LOL. I am not sure Studio One has a way for a click track to be created and matched to an mp3 file; I tried before the "follow" command and all that related, like I said, expended time watching tutorials but got nowhere. You think you can help? All advises are welcome, even if it is "ditch Studio One Pro" but at the moment, I think it is the best DAW out there, according to the tutorials I watch from other vendors.
I've been hearing a lot of good thing about Studio one. Even one studio owner I know converted his studio from Pro Tools to Studio one. And by "converted" I mean dumping Avid converters and control surface along with it. That says something.
Yeah! Studio One User here. Just one quick tip that probably makes you like it even more: There is a dedicated drum mode instead of the piano roll, where - amongst other features - you can even name the different lines instead of having note names.
We are now in the day of where people who can communicate well do really well and are much more important than they were before youtube. Some people just have a certain style that works, and this guy does, and so it works well. I really enjoyed the style of this presentation. I am new to Studio One. Subscribed.
I went from Cubase SE-3 to ProFools M8 to Studio One, with a few demos in-between settling on Studio one. Been a Pro user since version 2. I highly recommend the Quantum Thunderboolt interface to use with Studio One!
I've been debating for months about which DAW to get into. Been playing on GB for a while, time to go "pro". I almost gave in and settled for "familiarity" so I was going to go with LPX but now, THANK YOU -- I am 100% going to jump into PreSonus Studio One 4 after seeing your honest review. I'm so excited to order and receive it and get it going!
The good thing about them is that you can try out their free version first to see if you like it and if it works for you. The bad thing about it is, if it cannot tell your audio device is stereo, you're fucked. There is nothing you can do. It won't boot up all the way. It won't let you select no audio device. It won't let you even close it. You have to use task manager or taskkill to end it. The bad thing listed has made this application almost unusable. I had to finagle it and my computer to get it so I can use it, sort of. But it still wouldn't play any audio to me, no matter the device setting. So I would have to render the song after every change to hear it. However, I now have on other issue I have to work around (may be due to me resolving the first), I can't get it to actually program any music, or record off the computer; and I want that resolved before I connect it to my keyboard as I will need that function to make any changes to what I played/recorded.
good little review. ive been using studio one v3 for a few yrs now. i love it, for mixing, production and just for setting up all my ins and having a jam with the boys. all the features you reviewed are available in v3 aswell just for your info. i havent used v4 yet but the chords feature looks intriguing. thasnks again for the video. have a great week . Tommy
The fact you can turn all your midi tracks into wave tracks and save CPU is awesome. Also you can mix down your tracks one at a time with plugins and save them as a wave then delete the plugins to save CPU.
I discovered Studio One on a whim in 2012, when they had a Winter NAMM special on the Artist version for $20.12. My response was like yours - I found it extremely intuitive, so much so that I had a few ditties recorded and mixed before I ever opened the manual. I immediately upgraded to the "Pro" version, and have been happily using it ever since. It's been very stable, and very efficient in terms of resources. I can have 50+ tracks going, with plugins galore, and the little CPU meter never gets past about 30-40% at the most. The only time it's ever locked up on me was after an Avast update, which was solved within 24 hrs after an email to Presonus tech support. So yeah, I love it, and my productivity has quadrupled just 'cause it's so much fun. I used Cubase for years before, and never liked it. Before that it was PARIS by Ensoniq, which was great until Emu bought it and discontinued it. Anyway, Studio One - two thumbs up. (I see you have the Slate Digital VMR, too, which I also like a lot.) Peace.
Hate to say it buuuut, studio one is probably going to be your DAW from now on. Heard people ranting and raving about it for a long time, tried it myself, and I can’t go back to logic. Btw, I’ve been a logic user for about 10 or so years.
Jhoofnail I tried it for a little bit and can’t deny I don’t like it. I’m a long time logic user and love logic. But can def see s1 has some advantages. My experience though was that some plugins took up some more processing power in s1 as opposed to logic. Especially the waves abbey. Does anyone have that experience.
Well I’m never switching from logic. Free updates plus I know it inside and out. Not worth the switch to pay whatever it cost just for a few extra functions. I’m sure the extra functions are excellent but you can’t miss something you’ve never had. Plus I don’t have time to learn a new Daw I have music to make.
I would absolutely LOVE to move to Studio One but there is zero focus for film / video game scoring or sound design which is such a crazy thing as it's two gigantic industries that just don't get a look in. A friend tried to get me on to it and I loved the way it works but it had terrible performance for video playback for picture-sync (like a decoding issue) which probably needs updated video codecs and it seemed to have no support for surround mixes at all. If they resolve those two issues I'd recommend this beauty to everyone.
I’ve been a Logic user since 2011 and I love it. I’ve tried earlier versions of studio One and couldn’t get the grip on it. But this makes me wanna give it a new try!!! Thanks Fluff!!!
It is almost as if I keep waiting to find the workflow breaker that makes me ditch Studio One v4 and return to Live10. This has not happened. Intuitive is a word that best describes this DAW. I have not opened the manual. Plus, Studio One v4 sounds amazing and seems far deeper for mixing than L10. I did not expect Studio One v4 to be this good. I WAS happy in Live10.
I downloaded Studio One full demo yesterday. I’m a drummer. I have ezdrummer 2. I’m going to buy a Presonus audiobox. I get a free Artist daw when I do. Soon I’ll crossgrade to Superior Drummer 3. I only want to make kits that I can play live with an electronic kit. Also to customize the mix and make or add loops of other percussion to play along with. From what I’ve seen I’m probably good just having the Artist daw. Is there a book like “daw for dummies”? I’m way lost listening to vids for beginners. I don’t think they know what a beginner is. It needs to be much simpler please. Step by step and slow. Thanks
I'm still slumming it in Studio One v. 2. I initially messed around with audacity as a kid then got reaper when I started trying to actually record some music. I've been using Studio One v.2 for about 6 years now and have used it for my last 2 E.P.s with my band as well as a few other odds and ends that I've done with friends. It's a great DAW and if I do change any time soon it'll be to a newer version of Studio One.
I recently learned that Studio One is the successor to an old, old free open source DAW that I used to use called Kristal Audio Engine. The lead developer joined Presonus back in 2009. It's really fun to see what evolved from the what would have been called K2.
I've been a Studio One user since V1, after being a Cubase user since the 90s. Studio One started out essentially as a new version of Cubase for the modern day. What won me over was the "drag and drop" workflow, which you forgot to mention in the video. :)
I gave it a try for a simple project and liked the simplicity and intuitiveness of StudioOne. I used the free version to get started. As I was looking at which version looked best, I noticed some gaps in the lower two versions. I can't remember the "free" version name, but I believe the next version up was "Artist". Even with the Artist version, you have to buy add-ons to ge features like the ability to create an MP3 or use a VST. What version should a person buy to get started? Basically my question would be, in order to be equivalent to say REAPER or Logic, which version of StudioOne does a person have to purchase? Thanks for the time and consideration.
Just buy the pro and get everything you need. For the price you can’t beat it. Protools is $2,499 YIKES!!!! Where as Studio One is around $400 and does more... Hope this helps
7:40 That feature in logic is called the step editor, and you definitely can do that! That being said, I'm really looking forward to trying this and Reaper out as I move away from Logic.
Cool review but most of the functions you mentioned were available in version 3 or 3.5. I dig the workflow of studio one... maybe because I'm used to it by now.
Nice vid. I switched from Cubase to S1 about 6 months ago. It's kind of similar but as you said the workflow just seems faster and more comfortable in Studio One and I feel more at home using it, the learning curve coming from a different Daw is super simple and easy. About the midis velocities : I believe a few DAWs have that, Cubase has also had it since at least version 5 I believe. I find it weird that logic doesn't as it seems like such a basic function to my when using midi and its a big part of making a written part sound humanized and more realistic.
I have been pleased with Presonus Studio One Artist 2. I think the perspective of being a new user and experience with other DAW software and the comparison of features, really shows the value of Presonus's development.
You actually CAN do the velocity curves in logic with the drum map!! is just different instead. Press A in the piano editor, select velocity parameter, change the second tool with the curve pencil and you are good to go.
What are some features you get with the professional version that you don't get with the Artist version? If you get artist and later want to upgrade to professional, do they allow you to pay the difference and upgrade?
How are you able to resize your 3rd party plugins? Mine, for instance Slate VMR plug-ins, are too large and cut off the bottom. Is there something I’m missing? Thanks for the video btw!!
Thanks good buddy!
Moved from PT to S1 almost 2 years ago and never looked back! Now on version 4 and its absolutely fantastic. There's only one thing that i miss from PT though, AudioSuite! I know S1 has Event Fx but i know most people like me who migrated from PT need something that works jus like AudioSuite. Can't wait to see PreSonus introduce something like that in the future updates. Nice Video Ryan. Come to the dark side! 😀
PreSonus Audio Electronics
How about making some of those channel strips affordable all the add ons are too expensive
Just bought the full proffesional along with the audiobox itwo , only one last request , make a powerful modular vst for S1 :)
And there's the sponsor ;)
Please dudes , make a native version for linux users 😭
I’ve been using Presonus Studio One for 7 years or now and on my 4th album using it. Love it!
same
Yep, me too. Bought Studio One Pro as soon as they released it. Best DAW, love it. Switched over from Cubase.
I started with Reaper, which was ok (again, this is many years back) but when I bought the Presonus AudioBox interface it came with the Artist version of Studio One. I upgraded to Pro and never looked back. Very easy to use.
I was using Reaper when I first started, so I don't have experience with anything else.
I use Studio One too and I'm in love too
I recently ditched the Mac after decades use to PC so I had to give up Logic Pro X. I looked at all the DAWs and concluded Studio One 4 was the best one to migrate over. Well after several months use Studio One 4 has exceeded my expectations its really intuitive and easy to figure out and start being productive quickly.
Presonus hired the original team that created Steinberg Cubase. They left when Yamaha bought Steinberg that is why it is a lot like Cubase. The original programmer who designed Cubase created StudioOne. If anyone wanted some history. Love you guys.
Been using it since version 1. It's much more than "a DAW that takes this and that from another DAW", Studio One has established many things we consider obvious now that other DAWs took from it too. It's great and it literally changed the game ever since it came out.
As a home recording hobbyist that has tried REAPER, Studio 1, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Cubase, MixBus and Guitar Tracks I have come to the point that I think the most important thing is to really learn one or two very deeply as opposed to the basics of all.
I use and like Mixbus, but I wouldn't use it if I used MIDI instruments as it's not strong in that area. It's great as an audio recorder which is all I want. It's inexpensive to purchase but doesn't come with a lot of plug-ins. Mixbus plug-ins are very good but if you already have a good collection of VST plug-ins, you can import and use them. I've tried to like Reaper, but I just find myself ignoring it after a day or two. I used to use Sonar for years (started at 2.0) and liked it until it became a bloated mess.
I love the drag-and-drop of plugins in S1. I usually leave the sidebar open and you drop what I need.
Been a studio one user for several years now and it's hands down the best DAW on the market.
TheGemini Curse TEAM STUDIO ONE BABY! LOL now if we could get a built in tape stop I'd die and go to heaven!!😂 lol cheers bro!
Randy Fleming word! Lol cheers!
Ableton
Studio one..., I was hooked once I broke down and tried it... I switched... immediately ... don't know how to explain it but it feels smooth and easy to learn.
7:20 Yes you can! Logic has exactly the same thing, it’s called the Step Editor.
You also have 2 other ways to edit velocity, there’s a Velocity Tool that can be used in the Piano Roll itself. You can also edit the velocities in the Controller under the Piano Roll.
Although I’m a proud Logic Pro x user, I’ve always been intrigued by Studio One.
I went from Cubase and Pro tools to Studio One. It's a very smooth DAW. No hiccups.
I started a splice plan for it today and found it a pretty easy going adjustment from everything else I've tried out - most familiar with FL and Reaper.
Top notch 😁
Yeah, I fell in love with it.
I used Reaper for a decade and have completely switched over for my linear DAW needs.
Just bought Studio One, my first DAW. Your great review has helped me understand it better. Thanks, Ryan!
2beornot2bable I’m a dummy, and I have a question. Do you need internet access during use or can it run without internet?
Been using Studio One for more than 5 years... It's been great and the fact that I can do some DIY Mastering in it as a full project has been essential for my indie releases
Hey Ryan when your in the midi editor look to the left and click on the little drum icon. You will be in drum edit mode for midi. I know you will love that and Presonus has its own mastering screen as well.
I've been using studio one since version 2. Great product for sure. Currently on 3 but 4 is definitely upping the ante.
I downloaded the demo. Like you say...it's so intuitive, and I fell in love with it instantly. The pattern editor blew me away with its simplicity and power. The way clone blocks work etc is something that took me by surprise but quickly became part of my workflow. It's insane and this software has got me excited again. It's an enabler that you barely notice and that's what you need.
10 days before the demo ran out I've just gone and bought it.
Im happy this gets your stamp of approval. Studio one was my first real DAW; I switched to Ableton a long time ago but I still have fond memories of It. Lately I found PreSonus is offering cross upgrade for Studo one 4 Pro from all past versions. It’s 150 but I’m so excited to potentially reunite with Studio one (and actually know what to properly do lol)
Much respect Ryan 🤘
Interesting how you didn't get a long with pro tools when I'm seeing SO MANY similarities between this and PT.
Everything from the ease of I/O setup, to sends and plug ins, to midi notes customisation and velocity changes it's pracitcally the same.
I''ve only ever used PT, I've dabbled in Ableton and Logic and the studio I work in is looking to get Studio 1 for the ease of functionality and having devoted hardware. I'm excited to give this a go especially when I see so many similarities to what I know in PT.
I've gotten a version of this DAW with my Studio 192 Mobile. I'm debating whether I should make the switch from Reaper to Studio one 4. I'm looking for the Kenny Gioia equivalent for Studio one, anyone know a great channel to follow for tutorials on this DAW?
if you are looking for studio one 4 content, look up Johnny Geib on youtube
The best Daw I've ever used. I am a long time Studio One user as well. I have moved from Sonar to Studio One. Best moved I've ever made. Let me know if you need some tips on some of the functionalities...
Yes, you would need to expand the mixer and drag and drop the plugin on the mixer or the console. The plugin (s) will be available on the mixer screen. Once displayed on the mixer window, single click and the plugin will display on the screen. Let me know if you're able to do it. I will be glad to provide additional info if necessary.
Been a fan of Studio One for about 5 years now. My biggest gripe was the sizeable drain on the CPU. About a year ago they added a new feature where you can adjust (min-max) this (buffer) with a quick couple clicks. Lots of updates and continuously making improvements. Started with Artist, then upgraded to Producer, and then finally Professional. The upgrades are reasonably priced, and the quality is exceptional.
You showed the different ways of organizing the plugins. Just wanted to mention that in Folders view you can make your own folders and organize however makes sense to you.
So happy another DAW user has tried studio one. It is such a well rounded DAW. My #1
Trying to make up my mind on DAWs... I haven't used any for a few years. After looking around over Christmas vacation and painting myself into a corner, I find your video. Thanks! Nice walk through, thoughts, and reasoning! Happy New Year!
Hey, this is the one I use! I love it. Has some shortcut EQ stuff to throw on your tracks, it’s super cool.
I've been using Studio one for well over a year now and I have absolutely no interest in switching to another daw. The biggest reason I went with studio one was the price. 400 bucks got me a fully featured, visually appealing, efficient and effective daw. Not too mention, free feature updates and Presonus is generous with giving away free plug ins. Definitely has earned the top spot in my list.
what about cakewalk which is free and offers some free amp sims and stuff, probably not as good as the free plugins as a paid 400 daw, but hey, if you get the basic platform for free? why not!
StudioOne also has a free version called Prime..
Its a free version of the paid thing though, Cakewalk is like a paid version gone free with all the features. Even 3rd party amp sims form TH3 which are pretty good i have to say compared to the free plugins ive been using. I got a presonus interface, and I realy like it so I have no doubts their software is good too, but you cant compete with free, i think it'll take some times for the others to adjust by offering more in their paid packages. If I could afford it i would get FL studio however, just for the effects, which they also sell seperately so theres no point really in spending money on a DAW it seems unless you really like it.
mike jones everyone is always on a budget. I had to save for a few to be able to get studio one. Prior to studio one i had been using cubase le and pro tools 10 for a while. Let me tell you, there is more to a daw than its built in plug ins and virtual instruments. After using studio one, i would never go back to another daw for my personal use. Studio one is very streamlined in its UI which makes song writing easier and more efficient for me. Setting up a session is a breeze compared to others I've used. Midi is easy to edit as well. Bottom line is, if you're starting out and don't need the functionality of a quality daw to start, then anything free is better. Any money saved could be invested elsewhere. I also have a presonus interface, and it's integrated to work with studio one which adda to the convenience.
What do you mean giving away free plugins? Are you talking about the ones that come with the DAW or other ones as well?
Samplitude X Pro 4 and its bigger brother, SEQUOIA X Pro 4 are for me the very best DAW there are, however, watching your video, I will give it a try to Studio One, it looks great and you explained very good, thank you and greetings from Germany, Alfredo
Thanks for checking out StudioOne Ryan! I'm glad you are digging it and we appreciate you giving it a try! (I'm the SVP of Sales for PreSonus)
Surround sound support, OSC (and/or Advanced Host Integration with Komplete Kontrol MK2 www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/host-transport-control-doesnt-work-with-komplete-kontrol-mk2-due-to-ni-removing-mcu-support.329081/ ) would make S1 the go-to for most motion picture composers. :- ) I use it, but might be forced to jump ship.
Rick, you guys at Presonus never fail to amaze me. When I get rich (lol!) from song licensing I will build me an entire Presonus Recording Studio. (but don't hold your breath yet...lol!)
I have used Cubase, Sonar, Ableton Live, Reaper and Logic. I still have and use Logic and Reaper, but Studio One is my favorite, my #1.
Are you paid by Presonus? If you had to recommend one DAW to someone (singer guitarist songwriter) Logic or StudioOne? Thanks.
Been using studio one for 3 years now. It's the best DAW Imo and very easy to use. I'm self taught on how to use it and became proficient with it in about 2 months.
I just got the download key. Was on 3.5 as a newbie so now the new version and everyone is praising it. So I'm excited to try this.
Honestly, once you get passed the learning curve and get familiar with the key commands in Pro Tools. It is super fast and you can really cruise along doing stuff!
The quickest way to ad plugins in Studio One is to open the Browser and drag and drop them directly into your insert bay. With sends, you can do exactly the same! Grab your fave reverb, drop it on a send, and Studio One creates and routs the send to an FX Channel for you.
I recently upgraded to Studio One 4 and to my surprise it has no fast fwd or rewind on interface. Tech response to this was I need a high resolution monitor. What? That's their reasoning? I am on limited income, cannot afford a new monitor right now but why with all the hype about this DAW wouldnt they make it compatible with everyone's gear? I have used Studio One for 7 years now and loved it, till now. Just my take on it.
Yep, used Studio One 3 for over a year. Being very familiar to other major DAW's (aside from Reaper) this one I found to have the best workflow, especially when switching hats from musician to audio engineer. Recommending it to people is hard tho, they just don't understand until they sit down and try it. Thanks for the review!
As a DAW amateur, using Studio One after FL Studio felt like i was driving a Tractor on a mountain instead of a jeep. It's really easy to use and understand. It's really intuitive as you say. I wonder why isn't it more popular.
Loved it - clear, honest and the RH vid of you makes it feel like we were chatting. Cheers!
Intuitive is right! I'm also a long-time Logic user and Studio One is the only other DAW I'll use in my home studio (and I've tried them all). I bought into Studio One at version 2.0.
Hey Fluff, the Piano roll can be setup like that in Logic no proplem, click the small icon at the top of the piano roll, check out the hyper editor too both similar! Enjoyed the vid though! Easy!
Nice to have a more, shall we say, traveled DAW user give their perspective on Studio One. Studio One 3 Artist Edition was my first full DAW and it was super easy to learn, I really miss some of the features it has now that I'm on reaper. I think you just convinced me to go back to it now. Thanks Fluff.
I would also maybe show the drag and drop feature out of the browser. Its one of my favorite features. I love that there is no work around and even Melodyne is drag and drop!
I'm using Studio One since 2013 and it's awesome!
Coming from Reaper, what do you think Studio One does better, or did you find any feat that does does not exist in Reaper or! a feat that Studio One implemented better? I myself am a Reaper user and i love it, so just want to know why you switched :)
I'm using Studio One Version 2 and I love it. I tried Reaper, but it just didn't "click" with me for whatever reason. As stated, Studio One is very intuitive. Easy to set up and use for those with very little or no experience with other DAWs.
Come to the dark side. 😂
Nice to see you here joe, Another great thing about studio one for a beginner like me is I have a TON of Tutorials and pro guide videos from you joe! Muchh love from Malaysia ❤️
I am so fed up of MacBook and it's new laptops I was stuck to Mac because of Logic. I am shifting to Windows and getting myself Studio One.
same dude. i was so happy when i found out about this DAW cant wait to be done with mac
One of the beautiful things about S1 is it's cross platform... I use it on both my Macs and PC's.... works amazingly well....
@@miltonrob what do you think so far?
@@TheFunkyCriminal I love it personally.. I use the Mac for tracking because Core Audio is way better with multiple interfaces, but my PC's have way more horsepower so I use those for mixing.... Works beautifully...
that's why I'm doing research on Presonus too! I love Logic but I can't be part of Apple's captive market anymore. This is very promising.
You can manipulate velocities in piano roll even easier if you hold Cmd. That will activate pencil tool while you hold.
I've got a similar history with DAW's and I tried Studio One v2 about 7 years ago? Something like that, anyway. I found it to be very quick and intuitive and have stuck with it since. I was using Ableton Live prior to S1, and I still miss some stuff from Live which I won't specify. Prior to Live I had used Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools, and my first DAW was Cakewalk in around 1996. I like them all to be perfectly honest. Each DAW has something that it excels with and other deficiencies. For me, the most important attribute is stability followed by workflow, then it's a wash of features which I prefer that make life a little easier along with stock plug-ins. I think at one point CPU load was very important to me but these days machines are so powerful that I don't really consider that any longer.
S1 is a really good DAW. And while stability issues have started to crop up with Presonus' products which are driving me mad, S1 offers so many quality of life features that I think it far exceeds all other DAWS in terms of ergonomics. Particularly with v3 onward but even more so with v4. That being said, as I alluded to earlier, with each update of S1 I have more problems. Plug in issues, midi issues, audio driver issues, vst3's vst2's, crashing, missing files.... etc etc... it's kind of been a mess for the last year or so with Presonus and my machines.
The current version of studio one is not compatible with the latest nVidia video drivers. So I'm running a much older video driver. I have had to migrate most of my vst3 library to vst2 because suddenly S1 has issues with these. There are other vst's which have had issues going back to 3.5 which are not resolved. My Presonus audio interface is suddenly getting errors when used with S1 and support, while they have tried to help. has been unhelpful.
My guess is Presonus will iron things out over time. My personal belief is that they're spreading themselves too thin. With the huge success of their DAW they have dove in headfirst into so many other products that they're allowing their QC and attention to detail to go tot he wayside. I hope they sort out these issues. Otherwise, I'll be taking another spin on the DAW carousel soon.
So you do think and support from your perspective that Studio One Pro is better than Logic Pro X? I used to play drums, been retired many years now and I know not too much about the technical details of audio; not an audio engineer here although I do have the musical ear, so for the sake of having fun, I got Studio One Pro when it was 3.5 in late 2017 and through June 2018 I recorded close to 40 drums cover videos that I uploaded in youtube. My setup is 16 mic preamps coming into the DAW from 2 Focusrite Clarett 8PreX (wish I could afford the Apollos!) I have decent quality for as much as I could afford mics and a nice 7 piece DW set (use 13 inputs) then I use a drumless mp3 file for the song I want to lay drums on; after my inputs are in from the Focusrite, I load this map3 file and play over it recording the drums. that is the basic, now the fun; for the life of me I have not come to fully understand and take advantage of this software; maybe what I do it is too simple for it but know that I am lost on how to use its different tools; the tutorials may as well be in Chinese (remember I am not an audio engineer) the main issue I have is creating a click track; if I use drumless files from karaokeversion.com they provide a click track with their files but those files are depictions of the cover tunes you'd want many times executed horribly and poorly in comparison with the original so I like or would like to use drumless mp3 files provided by Guitar Hero; these at least are the original tunes where the drums track have been suppressed and although not perfect they are the closest thing to be playing that tune professionally as if it was with the original musicians; the problem is that after you convert one of these songs to mp3 to be able to load it onto Studio One Pro, it is almost impossible to create a click track in Studio One Pro that match the mp3 file (I do not understand very well yet no matter how many tutorials I watch how to work with time stretching and similar features like quantize or align the tempo in Studio One Pro) I have to mention the click track in these instance is paramount because it is not the same to play live with a band than to "follow" a recording you are listening in your ears just laying the tempo yourself without an electronic guide; basically as a drummer you are following a clock (the mp3) and you need help from another external clock to match that tempo as perfectly as possible or the differences can be heard on the recording and thus in my book, that would be not a good job (see and hear some of my recordings and mixing in youtube under "Rody Drums Covers") at first, the first experiments, I was having a horrible drums bleeding issues in that the playing of the drums was overpowering the mix in my ears; that was resolved at a very expensive price with Weston in Ears monitors which are custom molded to my ears now providing a perfect seal; I no longer hear the drums "outside" even when I am right there and now I can hear the mix all together in my ears; the difference is night and day but still I face the issue of the click track. Another issue is with the input and master output when the mix is done and faders are played with and effects added etc. In the Focusrite my gain levels are mostly less than a quarter turn of the knob because anything more than that hits the red! then in Studio One there is so much level gain I can allow before distorting, which makes my mix low in volume! I use the levels in the individual channels under -9 db because if I go over that I get clipping; then the master have to be at around those levels which makes some tunes ok as far as level goes but some not so much and no matter what I do, do not seem to get the optimal loud volume without distortion unless I play it safe on the db scale; as you can see, I know a little about audio fundamentals but I am lost on how to use the software properly to compensate for my lack of knowledge on the subject which is why I was thinking to try Logic Pro X before seen your video here (apparently I am better off not doing that!) I have not recorded anything since mid last year but I have many good drumless files ready as mp3 but they need, have to have a click track or it will sound less than perfect; one of these files is Rush song "Tom Sawyer" which has a time signature change in the middle to 7/4; this song is precise and playing it without a click to me is an offense to the original, LOL. I am not sure Studio One has a way for a click track to be created and matched to an mp3 file; I tried before the "follow" command and all that related, like I said, expended time watching tutorials but got nowhere. You think you can help? All advises are welcome, even if it is "ditch Studio One Pro" but at the moment, I think it is the best DAW out there, according to the tutorials I watch from other vendors.
I've been hearing a lot of good thing about Studio one. Even one studio owner I know converted his studio from Pro Tools to Studio one. And by "converted" I mean dumping Avid converters and control surface along with it. That says something.
Yeah! Studio One User here. Just one quick tip that probably makes you like it even more: There is a dedicated drum mode instead of the piano roll, where - amongst other features - you can even name the different lines instead of having note names.
We are now in the day of where people who can communicate well do really well and are much more important than they were before youtube. Some people just have a certain style that works, and this guy does, and so it works well. I really enjoyed the style of this presentation. I am new to Studio One. Subscribed.
I have been on Studio One since version 1. It really is intuitive and awesome. Been rock solid for years with my UAD apollo.
i was taught to use studio one at college because its fairly cheap yet has huge functionality and looks dope
I went from Cubase SE-3 to ProFools M8 to Studio One, with a few demos in-between settling on Studio one. Been a Pro user since version 2. I highly recommend the Quantum Thunderboolt interface to use with Studio One!
Most things Live have for years and years, the part about the vst view tho, not having to close one and just open the next one, gold.
I’m way off the topic of the video, but what keyboard are you using? Looking for a decent backlit keyboard myself.
I've been debating for months about which DAW to get into. Been playing on GB for a while, time to go "pro". I almost gave in and settled for "familiarity" so I was going to go with LPX but now, THANK YOU -- I am 100% going to jump into PreSonus Studio One 4 after seeing your honest review. I'm so excited to order and receive it and get it going!
The good thing about them is that you can try out their free version first to see if you like it and if it works for you.
The bad thing about it is, if it cannot tell your audio device is stereo, you're fucked. There is nothing you can do. It won't boot up all the way. It won't let you select no audio device. It won't let you even close it. You have to use task manager or taskkill to end it.
The bad thing listed has made this application almost unusable. I had to finagle it and my computer to get it so I can use it, sort of. But it still wouldn't play any audio to me, no matter the device setting. So I would have to render the song after every change to hear it. However, I now have on other issue I have to work around (may be due to me resolving the first), I can't get it to actually program any music, or record off the computer; and I want that resolved before I connect it to my keyboard as I will need that function to make any changes to what I played/recorded.
good little review. ive been using studio one v3 for a few yrs now. i love it, for mixing, production and just for setting up all my ins and having a jam with the boys. all the features you reviewed are available in v3 aswell just for your info. i havent used v4 yet but the chords feature looks intriguing. thasnks again for the video. have a great week . Tommy
The fact you can turn all your midi tracks into wave tracks and save CPU is awesome. Also you can mix down your tracks one at a time with plugins and save them as a wave then delete the plugins to save CPU.
Aaron Chaltraw well their is a freeze option in Logic as well !
I discovered Studio One on a whim in 2012, when they had a Winter NAMM special on the Artist version for $20.12. My response was like yours - I found it extremely intuitive, so much so that I had a few ditties recorded and mixed before I ever opened the manual. I immediately upgraded to the "Pro" version, and have been happily using it ever since. It's been very stable, and very efficient in terms of resources. I can have 50+ tracks going, with plugins galore, and the little CPU meter never gets past about 30-40% at the most. The only time it's ever locked up on me was after an Avast update, which was solved within 24 hrs after an email to Presonus tech support. So yeah, I love it, and my productivity has quadrupled just 'cause it's so much fun. I used Cubase for years before, and never liked it. Before that it was PARIS by Ensoniq, which was great until Emu bought it and discontinued it. Anyway, Studio One - two thumbs up. (I see you have the Slate Digital VMR, too, which I also like a lot.) Peace.
I just like the name, it sound profesional....Studio One. Im getting it.
Been using it since the 2nd version so this is exciting to see you check this out!
Hate to say it buuuut, studio one is probably going to be your DAW from now on. Heard people ranting and raving about it for a long time, tried it myself, and I can’t go back to logic. Btw, I’ve been a logic user for about 10 or so years.
Jhoofnail I switched from logic as well. The only thing Logic has on it is their plugins
Jhoofnail I tried it for a little bit and can’t deny I don’t like it. I’m a long time logic user and love logic. But can def see s1 has some advantages. My experience though was that some plugins took up some more processing power in s1 as opposed to logic. Especially the waves abbey. Does anyone have that experience.
Well I’m never switching from logic. Free updates plus I know it inside and out. Not worth the switch to pay whatever it cost just for a few extra functions. I’m sure the extra functions are excellent but you can’t miss something you’ve never had. Plus I don’t have time to learn a new Daw I have music to make.
I would absolutely LOVE to move to Studio One but there is zero focus for film / video game scoring or sound design which is such a crazy thing as it's two gigantic industries that just don't get a look in. A friend tried to get me on to it and I loved the way it works but it had terrible performance for video playback for picture-sync (like a decoding issue) which probably needs updated video codecs and it seemed to have no support for surround mixes at all. If they resolve those two issues I'd recommend this beauty to everyone.
I’ve been a Logic user since 2011 and I love it. I’ve tried earlier versions of studio One and couldn’t get the grip on it. But this makes me wanna give it a new try!!! Thanks Fluff!!!
It is almost as if I keep waiting to find the workflow breaker that makes me ditch Studio One v4 and return to Live10. This has not happened. Intuitive is a word that best describes this DAW. I have not opened the manual. Plus, Studio One v4 sounds amazing and seems far deeper for mixing than L10. I did not expect Studio One v4 to be this good. I WAS happy in Live10.
I've been using Studio One 2 (Pro) since 2013, and I love it. If only v2 was more black, less gray.
on V3 the audio engine has change on a really good way, go for v3
I downloaded Studio One full demo yesterday. I’m a drummer. I have ezdrummer 2. I’m going to buy a Presonus audiobox. I get a free Artist daw when I do. Soon I’ll crossgrade to Superior Drummer 3. I only want to make kits that I can play live with an electronic kit. Also to customize the mix and make or add loops of other percussion to play along with. From what I’ve seen I’m probably good just having the Artist daw. Is there a book like “daw for dummies”? I’m way lost listening to vids for beginners. I don’t think they know what a beginner is. It needs to be much simpler please. Step by step and slow. Thanks
Been using Studio One for a few years. No reason to switch. It's awesome
I'm still slumming it in Studio One v. 2. I initially messed around with audacity as a kid then got reaper when I started trying to actually record some music. I've been using Studio One v.2 for about 6 years now and have used it for my last 2 E.P.s with my band as well as a few other odds and ends that I've done with friends. It's a great DAW and if I do change any time soon it'll be to a newer version of Studio One.
I recently learned that Studio One is the successor to an old, old free open source DAW that I used to use called Kristal Audio Engine. The lead developer joined Presonus back in 2009. It's really fun to see what evolved from the what would have been called K2.
I've been a Studio One user since V1, after being a Cubase user since the 90s. Studio One started out essentially as a new version of Cubase for the modern day. What won me over was the "drag and drop" workflow, which you forgot to mention in the video. :)
I was a Logic user from 3.0 up until Emagic sold it off to Apple, I'm on Studio One now a couple years or so and love it!
I only have experience in FL studio, will it be too complicated for me? Used to be into electronic sounds but I'm more into guitars and rock music now
I gave it a try for a simple project and liked the simplicity and intuitiveness of StudioOne. I used the free version to get started. As I was looking at which version looked best, I noticed some gaps in the lower two versions. I can't remember the "free" version name, but I believe the next version up was "Artist". Even with the Artist version, you have to buy add-ons to ge features like the ability to create an MP3 or use a VST. What version should a person buy to get started? Basically my question would be, in order to be equivalent to say REAPER or Logic, which version of StudioOne does a person have to purchase? Thanks for the time and consideration.
Just buy the pro and get everything you need. For the price you can’t beat it. Protools is $2,499 YIKES!!!! Where as Studio One is around $400 and does more... Hope this helps
7:40 That feature in logic is called the step editor, and you definitely can do that!
That being said, I'm really looking forward to trying this and Reaper out as I move away from Logic.
it is now months later.....how are you with Studio at this point. still with it, or did you go back to Logic. thanks
Cool review but most of the functions you mentioned were available in version 3 or 3.5. I dig the workflow of studio one... maybe because I'm used to it by now.
Nice vid. I switched from Cubase to S1 about 6 months ago. It's kind of similar but as you said the workflow just seems faster and more comfortable in Studio One and I feel more at home using it, the learning curve coming from a different Daw is super simple and easy. About the midis velocities : I believe a few DAWs have that, Cubase has also had it since at least version 5 I believe. I find it weird that logic doesn't as it seems like such a basic function to my when using midi and its a big part of making a written part sound humanized and more realistic.
I'm a diehard Pro tools I switch studio one
You got to get the fadedPort 8
If you love studio oneIt's a must have
I have been pleased with Presonus Studio One Artist 2. I think the perspective of being a new user and experience with other DAW software and the comparison of features, really shows the value of Presonus's development.
I learned in logic originally. But I had downloaded studio one 3 when it was still new and I love it.
I just got an audio interface from prosonus and it came with this DAW, and I've got to say, after try other days, this was by far the best.
whats the difference between the "Artist" version and the "Proffessional" version? other than price of course
You actually CAN do the velocity curves in logic with the drum map!! is just different instead. Press A in the piano editor, select velocity parameter, change the second tool with the curve pencil and you are good to go.
What are some features you get with the professional version that you don't get with the Artist version? If you get artist and later want to upgrade to professional, do they allow you to pay the difference and upgrade?
I’ve been using Logic Pro for 4 years ... I’m thinking to change ... would you recommend????
Namz Kay studio one blows logic out of the water imo.
How are you able to resize your 3rd party plugins? Mine, for instance Slate VMR plug-ins, are too large and cut off the bottom. Is there something I’m missing? Thanks for the video btw!!
great review, just wondering what you happen to use the software for and can see people using it for, podcasting?
I've been using studio one 3.5 pro for years now.. it's amazing!
I have used it since the first release. Love it too.
Can I take off the the mixer window out from the main window ? For placing mixer window to second LCD monitor ..
I've been using Studio One for ~5 years now. Check out the arranger track! It's one of the best features.
Might have to look into trying this out, been on Reaper for about 3 years now so I think a change is due.
Trying out again. Tried it at 2, but now at 4 it seems next level. Coming from the Logic Pro X side.....Lets see what happens.
What DAW are you currently using? Did you stay with S1?
I’ve been using Logic 9 for 5 years now. This is very interesting . Will have to give it a try!
