Studio One 5.5 is a free update for registered Studio One 5 users and is included in the PreSonus Sphere membership.Record, produce, mix, master and perform everything from one intuitive app. Designed with ease of use in mind, Studio One® 5 is your creative partner from the studio to the stage. Studio One is driven by tools that expand your creativity without getting in the way we pioneered the drag and drop workflow that is still used elsewhere today. Time-consuming tasks that take five steps in other DAWs usually take… one. A popular example is that you can convert MIDI to audio and back with a simple drag and drop. The plugin Nap feature introduced in version 5.4 is now available on a per plugin basis, providing further optimisation control, and improvements have also been added for PreSonus ATOM-series controllers with Impact XT and SampleOne XT. Other improvements include saving automation with mix scenes, so music-makers can experiment with multiple automation passes without losing work. PreSonus’ Ampire XT guitar amp/cabinet/pedalboard plugin, available in Studio One 5.5, adds faster preset switching optimised for the Show Page, so users can trigger Ampire presets from a MIDI pedalboard during a live performance without missing a beat. Users can now create a strum pattern manually by dragging note events in a selected chord while holding modifier keys. Any MIDI file can now be dragged directly to the Chord Track to extract its chords, and only Studio One’s chord detection works with Audio Events and Instrument Parts. Studio One 5.5 also introduces production and performance features.

In addition, a new, proprietary, custom-designed dithering algorithm minimises conversion artifacts and preserves low-level signals when preparing high-resolution audio for streaming.

The new Target Loudness options let music-makers set target values for loudness and true peak during export, or choose from presets for every popular streaming service to take the guesswork out of preparing a release. Studio One Professional’s Digital Release publishing feature now provides the ability to export multiple formats at once, meaning users can export mastered sessions for high-resolution releases and streaming services at the same time. The new Listen Bus on the Project Page allows for monitoring through users’ favourite room correction plugins or headphone monitoring tools without affecting the master output, while processing power is freed up for complex mastering chains without losing the ability to make adjustments later using Track Transform. Clip Gain Envelopes have also been added to the Project Page, enabling users to precisely fix gain issues while mastering, without using dynamics plugins. Users can also write automation in real-time using a mouse or hardware controller, or by using the Paint Tool.
