PreSonus Studio One is a line of digital audio workstation (DAW) software used to create, record, and master music, made by PreSonus Software, Ltd., for OS X and Windows.
In 2006, KristalLabs Software Ltd., a start-up company founded by Wolfgang Kundrus and Matthias Juwan, began working on Studio One in cooperation with PreSonus. Kundrus was one of the early developers of Cubase and was the primary author of Nuendo for Steinberg. Juwan had written version 3 of the Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plug-in specification, and written the freeware KRISTAL Audio Engine. KristalLabs later became an integrated part of PreSonus. Wolfgang Kundrus was the Managing Director and Matthias Juwan chief technology officer (CTO). Wolfgang Kundrus left PreSonus in 2014 and is now Head of Software Development for EastWest Sounds. Other members of the team who also originally came from Steinberg include Maik Oppermann and Eike Jonas.
Studio One runs on Windows and OS X computers. It is available in Three versions: Prime(Free), Artist and Professional. As of version 3, Producer version has been discontinued.
Presonus intends Studio One Prime for beginners to digital audio recording. It contains subset of the features in the other versions. However, it still includes unlimited track count and several audio processing plug-ins.
Studio One Artist is for musicians who need basic recording features. PreSonus currently includes it with all hardware products. It does not support most third-party plug-in effects or instruments. Optional Add-ons are available from Presonus store for Prime and Artist to add VST/AU/Rewire support, MP3 Converter, Loops, etc.
Studio One Professional is the top of the line. PreSonus intends it for professional-level music production. It features multitrack audio and MIDI recording, and an integrated mastering and Red Book CD authoring suite. Studio One Professional includes video playback and synchronization, and fully licensed Melodyne essential pitch correction. The top three Studio One versions feature unlimited audio, MIDI and instrument tracks, buses, and effects channels. They provide 26 PreSonus effects, four instruments, automation, latency compensation, 32-bit or 64-bit processing, real-time timestretching and—in the Pro version—Audio Unit, ReWire, and VST support (including VST3). It includes built-in audio effects: dynamics, delay, guitar amp modeling, master effects, equalization, modulation, metering, and diagnostics. It has four virtual instruments: Impact (drum sampler), Mojito (monophonic bass synth), Presence (which can play back SoundFont sounds), and Sample One (sampler). Studio One features what Presonus calls the Control Link system. Control Link lets the user assign knobs or faders from external hardware controllers to Studio One instruments, effects, plug-ins, or the console. A concept Presonus calls "focus mapping" lets the same hardware knob control different functions based on which on-screen effect or instrument is active. A direct one-to-one mapping is also available.
