Studio One Professional Version 4 is packed with powerful professional editing features, including tightly integrated Melodyne pitch correction, yet its uncluttered, intuitive browser and drag-and-drop paradigm let you work faster and more creatively, without wading through menus, so making music is more fun. Tasks that take multiple steps in most DAWs can be done in one or two quick, easy steps. Plus, professional users and respected reviewers agree: Studio One's 64-bit audio engine delivers superior sound.

Load and save audio clips, MIDI files, effects, and VIs by drag-and-drop. Import and export MP3s. Take advantage of multitrack comping, multitrack MIDI editing, transient detection and editing with groove extraction, and Folder Tracks. Import videos and create soundtracks. Use the 33 bundled Native Effects plug-ins, third-party VST and AU plug-ins, and ReWire. Mix, master, burn CDs, and upload to the Web, all within Studio One.

Here are some of the important new features in Studio One 4:

Integrated Melodyne pitch correction. Studio One 4 seamlessly integrates Celemony’s Melodyne so tightly that, for practical purposes, Melodyne is simply a part of Studio One. You hear your edits in context with the rest of the arrangement, and when finished editing, render the audio in place—no track transfers or manual rendering! Furthermore, edits made in the arrangement are seamlessly synced in Melodyne. Want to go back to where you were? It takes one click. Melodyne Essential comes with Studio One Professional 4

Transient detection, editing, and groove extraction. Sure, you can do transient detection and editing in other DAWs—but it can be slow and painful. In Studio One, you simply select an audio event and press Q to quantize. Groove extraction is as simple as drag-and-drop; extract a groove from any audio and apply it to any other audio in seconds!

Multitrack comping done right. Single and multitrack comping are quick and easy in Studio One—and faster than with most DAWs! No tool-switching is needed, and crossfading between takes is automated, although you can edit the fades. Auditioning takes is as simple as holding Alt and clicking on a take.

Find it quickly. Studio One’s Browser offers quick access to instruments, effects, sounds, files, and more. In version 4, you can search within any location in the Browser, making it even faster and easier to find the resources you want.

Organize your tracks. Organizing related tracks and working with them as a group is a breeze with Folder Tracks. Group and bus your Folder Tracks with the click of a button—an exclusive Studio One feature.

Edit multiple MIDI tracks simultaneously. Now you can view and edit more than one instrument track at a time in the Music Editor, including editing multiple parts on different Tracks at once.

A great plug-in collection just got better. Studio One’s Native Effects plug-ins have drawn rave reviews from the media. Now they’re even better. The Ampire guitar-amp modeler is now Ampire XT and features new amp models, a new convolution-based cabinet-modeling section and an effects section. And the new OpenAIR convolution reverb delivers ultra-realistic reverberation based on real spaces and classic hardware reverbs. To top it off, with the new IR Maker, you can capture your own impulse responses.

Enhanced mastering with Studio One Professional. No other DAW offers a truly integrated mastering suite comparable to the Project page in Studio One Professional. To its already extensive list of mastering and distribution features, Version 4 adds DDP Export, PQ editing, and higher-quality sample-rate conversion.
