Studio One

About Studio One
Studio One is an audio editing software designed to help musicians and studio engineers create, produce, record, mix, and compose songs using various virtual instruments, effects, and arrangement tools from production till album release and stage performances. The drag-and-drop interface allows artists to add audio loops, plug-in effects, and presets to music sessions, copy FX chains from multiple channels and convert musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) to audio.
Using Studio One, musicians can create deteriorating echoes with delay, pitch, chorus effects, or retro flanging and use the tone generator to produce noise, frequency sweeps, and other signal types. Producers can search and filter tracks using custom commands or keyboard shortcuts and utilize the built-in video player to synchronize song and video playback. Audio engineers can also reorder, remove or duplicate song sections and arrange soundtracks by swapping sections, changing arrangements, and shortening or lengthening solos according to requirements.
Studio One supports various audio formats including WAV, FLAC, MP3, AAC, ALAC, M4A, AIFF, CAF, and Ogg Vorbis. Other features include transient detection, time-stretching, slicing, audio quantization, and more.

The first and only one
Reviewed on 2023/09/29
Pros
I love everything about studio one. I think I started using this product in 2016 and have not stopped using it. I still have the same version of that year and it is still useful to this day. I will be updating to the latest model because I bought some new hardware that lets me upgrade. I use it to record concerts, recitals, edit audio, cut and splice, mix, master and everything turns out really smooth. I have a lot of plugins integrating and they always connect really easy. If you are looking for something that is easy to understand but that also has a lot of depth to it if you really get into it, this is the DAW to get.
Cons
Iam having a hard time deciding if there was something that I don't like about it. Maybe that you always have to buy the newest model and that it does not upgrade with the one you buy but that is way better than the subscription model that I hate.

Pros
I got this with my AudioBox and in a short space of time I was recording songs with my friends. The ease of use and stability of Studio One is amazing.
Cons
I cant create drum and instrument patterns like I do in FL Studio. It wasn't built for that.
