The choices are colourful and inviting with options like Record and Mix, Master and Release, Rehearse and Perform, Play Now, Record Now, Create Content and Produce Beats. PreSonus have now replaced these slightly patronising styles with ‘Templates’ that make a lot more sense. Each style would load up a selection of relevant tracks and plug‑ins ready for that particular style of music making. These were called things like Band Recording, House/Techno, Piano Ballad, Podcast Production and so on. Previously when you hit ‘New’ you’d get a window offering you a list of ‘Styles’ for different song scenarios. They’ve modernised the option toolbar across the top, so it looks a little bit less Windows 95 and a tad groovier. Studio One 6 starts up in a very familiar way. Change is risky, let’s see if it’s worth the gamble. In version 6 PreSonus have brought in some good stuff, expanded into much needed stuff, and messed with the thing that they’re most proud of: the interface. It desires to be all things to all people while filling out the back catalogue with things you may have missed along the way. Studio One is both an innovator and an assimilator of features. It’s been interesting to observe the development, the movement and evolution from a position of catch‑up to a place where it pushes the DAW paradigm into interesting places. I’ve been reviewing Studio One and writing the monthly workshops for Sound On Sound since version 4. PreSonus’ DAW software continues to grow and improve as it reaches version 6.
