Upgrade to the new Studio One 5 Artist from any previous version of Artist.

With its intuitive, single-window drag and drop workflow, Studio One Artist will jump-start your home studio productions. Unlimited tracks and buses, a complete suite of Native Effects and instrument plug-ins, and now Studio One Remote, Rewire, and third-party VST/AU plug-in support make Studio One Artist a complete solution for both home recording and content creation - from punk rock to progressive house to podcasting.

Designed with ease of use at its core, Studio One® 5 Artist is your creative partner. The Start Page provides what you need to begin your creative process, including a dashboard with all your songs, plus a personalized user profile that allows you to add custom metadata to all your creations.

Open the Song Page and you'll find everything you need to record, edit, produce, and mix with a complete set of virtual instruments, and effects. Studio One pioneered the drag-and-drop workflow that continues to be a guiding principle in their design philosophy. Audio loops, virtual instruments, plug-in effects and even presets can all be dragged into your session from Studio One's innovative Browser. Copy FX Chains from one channel to another simply by dragging and dropping. New Clip Gain Envelopes let you polish performances or remove glitches with adding a plug-in to your effects chain. Integrate your external instruments with the drag-and-drop ease of a virtual instrument with new Aux Channels. Ease of use is at the heart of Studio One, so you'll work faster than ever before.

The standard for end-to-end production, only Studio One 5 seamlessly moves with you from initial inspiration to full production, final mix to digital release and lets you truly create without boundaries.

What's new in Version 5:

• VST / AU Support and ReWire. Use third-party plug-ins, virtual instruments, and ReWire-enabled applications.
• Studio One® Remote Support. Use the free Studio One Remote app for iPad® and Android™ tablets to remotely control Studio One while you're away from your computer. Great for recording alone!
• Redesigned Native Effects™ plug-in suite. The complete suite of Studio One's Native Effect plug-ins have a fresh new look and some amazing new features. Several plug-ins - including Analog Delay, Rotor and Tricomp - have been updated with a State Space Modeled drive stage for natural analog saturation.
• Key Switches and Note Controllers support. Key switches are now filtered and excluded from any type of playback processing, and Studio One now supports Note Controllers and MIDI Polyphonic Expression
• Clip Gain Envelopes. The newly-added Clip Gain Envelope is the perfect tool for correcting sections of audio that are either too loud or too soft, without adding a compressor or limiter plug-in.
• Aux Channels is a new channel type that allows any external instruments and audio sources to be fed into Studio One's mixer without the need to create an audio track that clutters your session.
• Recording and playback in 64-bit float WAV format. With Version 5, Studio One now supports recording in 64-bit floating-point WAV format, the recommended recording format for audio interfaces with 32-bit converters.
