![]() ![]() That isn’t to say they don’t work well- they just remain basic or unrefined for longer than some programs have, as if the team is spread very thin and just trying to enable lots and lots of new capabilities across all their software products. As I mentioned in the “Pros” it is nice to have so many inventive features or features inspired by competitors such as Patterns, alternate Song Versions, Remote, NoteFX, Control Link, harmony editing, alternate arrangements, and complex Channel routing, but many of these features will go years without improvements past their first implementation. The only downsides (and they aren’t major) are non-“core” features lack a certain depth, and new features tend to go a number of cycles without improvements. I credit this to their emphasis on pulling a large number of new features from submitted user ideas. For my work, that means that Studio One can help with a song in so many ways from start to finish, with the editing and mixing of it being the most streamlined and well conceived. There really are a wide variety of features and it makes it very helpful to have at least basic versions of all these different workflows available. I appreciate how many different “styles” of features they have incorporated outside of those core features as well. Like Pro Tools, Cubase, and Logic, Studio One remembers the “Audio Workstation” aspects of “Digital Audio Workstation,” and its mixing workflow and browser behavior has been streamlined very effectively over the years. The maturity of the feature set in editing, mixing, and general studio routing places this in the top class of linear DAWs for me. What keeps me in Studio One is their wide variety of features where it’s convenient and their depth of features where it counts. I am a former Pro Tools and Logic user and while I love those programs as well the feature set here is inclusive enough and the general workflow is cohesive and user-friendly enough that I am happy I am using Studio One. Studio One misses some popular plugins found in other DAWs.Ĭomments: Overall, Studio One helps me compose songs, record them, edit them, and export them and it does it well enough that I’ve never felt the need to go back to any of the other DAWs I’ve used prior. Studio One supports unlimited audio and MIDI tracks, VST plugins, automation, unlimited busses, professional quality effects and instruments, MIDI editing with Auto Quantize, time compression/expansion with Tempo Sync. The learning curve is much easier than the competition and the interface is designed to make your job easier. DDP import/export function for mastering. It has a comprehensive set of features including monophonic and polyphonic tracks, MIDI sequencing, an intuitive interface with drag-and-drop functionality, and 4-band parametric EQs. It's a powerful DAW tool that can be used for live performance, recording, composing, editing, mixing, mastering. The interface is well designed and intuitive and the feature set is amazing, but what really sets it apart is the quality of the built-in effects and instruments. I can say, without reservation, that it's the best DAW I've ever used. Comments: I'm an audio engineer and producer, and I've been using Studio One for a few months now. ![]()
