Note that both the Artist and Professional versions require 64 bit operating systems, 32 bits is no longer supported.

I will not address Studio One 4 Artist much, the lower cost version supplied free with many of PreSonus’ hardware products, other than to note it is a capable basic DAW itself if you don’t need some of the professional features like mastering, scratch pads, and multi-instruments. I briefly described Studio One 4 Professional in the FaderPort 16 review on this site ( PreSonus FaderPort 16) since it was released in the middle of my FaderPort testing project, but as I mentioned in that article, Studio One was new to me, so I’ve taken time the past month to gain more experience with PreSonus’ premier DAW. This spring Studio One gained a whole new digit to become version 4 which brought some almost unbelievable new features along with major enhancements to the Sample One sample-player and the Impact drum module. It made a lot of users very happy, especially considering it was a free upgrade for any 3.x owners. Aren't we advanced enough for this?Ĭan't think of anything else right now, but IK is releasing TONEX on the same day.In early 2017 Studio One was updated to version 3.5 which included some major additions and performance enhancements.

Almost everything is doable, but it requires extra steps. I'll try to explain, FREQUENTLY I have to use the mouse to click on a plug window (even if it's the only window open) to be able to use key commands I have (like for shifting through a few plugs on one channel) I guess maybe this goes back to the first thing I mentioned.īetter control for odd key sigs, swing, etc. Something else that kinda annoys me that I'm certain will never be addressed, but I would really like the QWARTY to always be active regardless of what is/isn't open. (nobody does that that I'm aware of) But S1 is already better at CPU handling than anything I've tried. chewing up the first core the most? It's not huge here, but considering there are times when one or more can tax the 'performance' meter it would be terrific and revolutionary. Some kinda way to get intensive plugs to be mo' spread over the cores vs.

Maybe some extra things/tighter integration of ATOM or SQ (or both! ) Something to the effect of being able to open them when you launch a song/whatever and they are not open already? (that is annoying to me to always have to double click on a plug from the inspector or mixer)

Although I'm not exactly sure, and wouldn't know how/if they would implement it (vague much? ) I'd really like some other options other than F11/12 for plug windows.
