Studio One Pro 7: PreSonus’s Current Flagship DAW

Studio One Pro 7 is PreSonus’s current flagship DAW, released October 9 2024 with over 30 new features and improvements. Version 7 added AI-powered stem separation, native Splice integration, the Launcher for grid-based clip triggering, Global Transpose, advanced tempo detection, user scales in the piano roll and a CV Instrument for controlling analog hardware. Pricing changed with version 7 — perpetual purchase for approximately $199 with one year of updates.

What’s Inside Studio One Pro 7

• Splice integration: direct access to Splice Sounds in the browser with “Search with Sound” that syncs to your project’s rhythm, key and tempo
• Launcher: dynamic grid of audio and MIDI loops and patterns next to the timeline for improvisational composition
• Global Transpose: change the key of an entire song with one click
• Advanced tempo detection: extract the underlying tempo from imported audio with one click
• User scales in the piano roll: define exactly what notes you want to use or display
• CV Instrument: control vintage or modern analog synthesisers directly from the DAW
• Batch Converter: previously a paid add-on, now included in Pro 7
• Presence XT Editor: previously a paid add-on, now included
• Lead Architect and Deep Flight One: previously paid add-ons, now included

Who Is It For?

Producers who want a modern DAW with fast workflow and AI-powered features. Sample-based producers who use Splice constantly — the native integration replaces browser-hopping. Bedroom producers who want the Launcher’s grid-based composition for jam-based track building. Film composers using the tempo detection for scoring to picture. Anyone who values a DAW that adds features rather than sitting on the same feature set for years.

System Requirements

• macOS 11 or higher, 64-bit, Apple Silicon native
• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
• 8 GB RAM minimum
• Approximately 40 GB free disk space including content

How Producers Use Studio One Pro 7

Producers who sample regularly use the AI stem separation to pull vocal takes, drum breaks and bass lines out of source material. Beat makers use Splice integration to browse samples that automatically sync to the project tempo and key. Electronic producers use the Launcher for jamming ideas next to the timeline — closer to Ableton’s Session View than the traditional linear DAW. Film composers use Global Transpose to change entire cues when the director wants a different key. See our DAW templates collection for related content.
