"The perfect tool for personal or professional music production"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Studio One?

The price is what made me switch from Digital Performer. There's a completely FREE version for you to use without time limits. It's really basic and comes with limited features, but at least you have all the time you need to gain experience and feel comfortable before purchasing the full version.

There are 3 different version with different features, but the price range is low compared to other DAW, and every once in a while PreSonus releases good offers to upgrade.

Clean, slick and visually appealing UI. Hundreds of built-in features to speed up your workflow, powerful built-in virtual instruments even for the basic version, smart tools with handy shortcuts, fast and reliable software.

Even with lots of tracks and effect, I never experienced a slow rendering/playback or crash, on a 2011 MacBook Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Studio One?

The amount of options can be overwhelming at first. You can literally do everything you want, and this much freedom can confuse you and loose you inside small options windows or editing panels.

An aspect not directly connected to the software is that, because it's a fairly new DAW, it's hard to find good resources or tutorials online, compared to other products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Studio One"
3/5
What do you like best about Studio One?

Visually clean, works well, functions properly. Can import shortcuts from other DAWs. Is fairly intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Studio One?

I dislike having to select a piece of audio before being able to select all the following audio pieces with key commands. I wish I could click anywhere and then use key commands to select all following audio.

Also, it is hard to find some things in the menu, when trying change options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
