PreSonus Audio Electronics’ popular DAW, Studio One Pro 7, has received a powerful update sporting numerous new features for users. An organization dedicated to designing and manufacturing both recording and live-sound music hardware and software, PreSonus and its parent company Fender present Studio One Pro 7 and its update as the “ultimate DAW for music creation workflows, offering a powerful and intuitive environment to record, produce, mix, master and perform all within a single platform,” a statement from the company read.
Some of the new features include continuous cursor options, improved “Realtime” vs “Offline” audio export, and a brand new virtual instrument in the form of the Sub Zero Bass, which takes “low-end to the next level by combining synth basses, organic basses, bass guitars and hybrid textures for a sound that’s deep, dynamic and diverse.”
Other new features include:
- Updated Tuner2 Plugin – Tuner2 now offers support for open tunings and custom tunings. Featuring more than 30 presets for Guitar, this indispensable tool just got more than 30 times more useful.
- Post Roll for Auto Punch – Hands-free recording for musicians just got a whole lot easier! Users can use a footswitch to punch in and out manually or use Auto Punch now with adjustable Post-roll and the ability to use Pre-roll, Post-roll and Auto Punch in any combination. All related features are consolidated in the Record Panel so users can capture performances intuitively and fast with this enhanced Auto Punch/Loop recording workflow.
- Nashville Number System – The Nashville Number System is a method of transcribing music by denoting the scale degree on which a chord is built. This and additional chord display options are available on a per-song basis and can be used everywhere chords are shown (global Chord Track, Editor, Events, floating Chord Display and of course inside the Score Editor). Popular among session players, this new feature is great for creating lead sheets, too.
- Introducing Studio One Pro for Windows on ARM – Designed specifically to run on ARM processors, the first native version of Studio One Pro for Windows on ARM delivers power efficiency and improved performance (public beta version).
- Improved Multi-Processing Performance for Apple Silicon – Users now have a choice to override the default system settings and force Efficiency Cores to be used for real-time audio processing.
