Studio One Artist is €100,- which has more features than the free version and the full version Studio One Pro is €400,. With the professional version you can use ARA, VST and Audio Unit plugins and a slew of pretty good stock plugins. There is no track limit or storage limits in the free version.
What I like about Studio One is that you can search for plugins and sounds and drag and drop them on the timeline. There are loops and sounds bundled with Studio One Prime, so you can get started quickly. Producing on a 13” screen is not really convenient, especially with Studio One. I always recommend a computer screen larger than 13" (rather 27" or higher) for music production. On the right side we have the plugins (instrument and effect) and a sample browser.Īnd on the bottom we have the transport controls. The tracks are in the middle, the mixer, audio editor and the piano roll on the bottom. On the left side we have the track overview (handy for a quick overview and hiding tracks) and the property viewer. The interface is far from uncluttered and can be pretty intimidating on the first glance, I Know! The other obvious limitation is the limited amount of busses, but that is maybe less of an issue when you are starting out. Developed by a group of volunteers as open source and offered free of charge. Audacity is an easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. No proper compressor and no way to add those yourself, that means that the DAW is pretty handicapped. Free, open source, cross-platform audio software. You can add the Mai Tai synth if you pay for it, but there are no samplers included, The stock plugins are by no means bad, but the only instrument plugin is Presence, which is limited. The first one is obviously the lack of 3rd party plugin support and you are stuck with the stock plugins. The payed version of Studio One is my preferred DAW of choice.Īnd out of familiarity for me it’s really easy to say that it is therefore the right choice.īut I’m not going to do that, because the Prime version has some major downsides.
