This is my official Studio One 5, will transfer my license to buyer. Studio One can be installed on 5 computers.

Studio One 5 is, without doubt, the biggest single update to PreSonus’ DAW yet, in terms of both the sheer quantity of new features and systems added and their significance.

The Show page, Score Editor, Mixer Scenes and Clip Gain Envelopes are all individually transformative, and collectively broaden the software’s remit; while the likes of the Aux channel, Independent Listen Bus and Keyswitch lane are less profound but still clear in their purposes and genuinely useful. And all of this comes together beautifully within the overall Studio One framework and workflow – the Show page, in particular, could have been an awkward fit, but PreSonus have succeeded in making it feel like a natural extension of the DAW.

It all adds up to make version 5 an unreserved upgrade/recommendation for existing Studio One users and newcomers to recording and production alike, not to mention old hands perhaps dissatisfied with their current DAW of choice. With its responsive, modernist interface, smooth workflow and innovative-but-relevant feature set, Studio One 5 truly represents the state of the art in virtual studio design.

MusicRadar verdict: It’s quite incredible how far Studio One has come in the decade since its launch, and version 5 is mature, stable and an awesome update to an already superb DAW.
