Improvements have been made to ProEQ, Autofilter, Mai Tai, Sample One XT and Presence XT, too. There are now sharing and sync options built into the main menu, and a new installation window enables Sphere members to explore, download and install content using a variety of display, search and filter options.įinally, no major DAW update would be complete without some new plugins, and Studio One 6 gets some in the form of the new De-Esser and Vocoder. You can also expect deeper integration with PreSonus Sphere - specifically, its cloud-based collaboration Workspaces. This includes a mixer channel, plugin processing and output routing options.


Thumbnails are generated automatically, and there’s a dedicated sub-track for embedded audio to use as a reference. Clips can be added by dragging them on to the timeline, and the track can hold an unlimited number of clips. On a multimedia tip, there’s now a Global Video Track. In Score and Piano views, lyrics can be attached to notes word by word or syllable by syllable, leaving no room for confusion. Songwriters might also appreciate the new lyric support - you can now add lyrics to a project via a dedicated editor. Beginners can strip things back to the essentials, while more experienced users can put power features right under their fingertips. The Customisation Editor, meanwhile, enables you to show or hide almost all of Studio One 6’s tools and functions, so you can streamline the interface to suit your workflow and for the job at hand. There’s a drop zone for importing audio, video and MIDI files, and interactive tutorials with instructions and links to related video content. These comprise preconfigured tracks and channels with a customised interface and automatic download of required content, with options for basic recording, beatmaking, mixing stems, mastering an album, setting up for a live show and more. New Smart Templates, for example, are designed to make it easy to get started on a specific task right away. Fender CEO Andy Mooney indicated that the software’s future could be “simpler, more intuitive and less expensive,” when he spoke to MusicRadar earlier this year, and you can see some signs of change in Studio One 6.
