PreSonus Audio Electronics Inc., is introducing the most innovative version of its digital audio workstation to date: STUDIO ONE PRO 7. Bridging the gap between loop-based music production, mixing, mastering and live performance, PreSonus’ DAW offers all the essential tools within a single platform.

Version 7 provides creators with new, advanced production tools, workflow improvements, and extensive sound libraries designed to drive creativity. With over 30 new features, within the DAW, the highly anticipated features include AI-powered Stem Separation, first-of-its-kind Splice Integration, a dynamic Integrated Launcher, a new virtual instrument named Deep Flight One, and improvements on the DAW’s go-to-drum machine, Impact.

Crafted for producers, beat makers, and musicians, Studio One Pro 7 provides the tools to create inspiring music with exceptional speed and convenience, setting a new standard for music production.

“For 15 years, we have worked hand-in-hand with our incredible community of talented Studio One creators. At PreSonus, our mission is to fuel creativity with innovative tools and intuitive workflows,” said Arnie Kaiser, General Manager, Software at PreSonus. “Studio One Pro 7 is the culmination of years of research, development, and collaboration with the musicians and audio pros who bring our software to life.”

FIRST-TO-MARKET INTEGRATION WITH SPLICE:

Studio One Pro 7 includes a FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND INTEGRATION with music creation platform Splice. Splice empowers creators to use samples, and AI sound discovery as the building blocks of creativity. Directly integrated into Studio One Pro 7, users can search and preview millions of samples and ‘Search With Sound’ to find sounds that match, harmonically and rhythmically.

“Putting Splice directly into the creative workflow has been a goal of ours;  so to see the Splice experience seamlessly integrated in Studio One Pro, with our AI driving creativity and sound discovery, has been incredible,” said Kakula Srivastava, CEO of Splice. “We’ll continue to work closely with our community to build new Splice experiences that directly address their creative needs.”

NEW STUDIO ONE PRO 7 FEATURES:

AI-POWERED STEM SEPARATION: One of the most in-demand features, AI-powered Stem Separation allows creators to un-mix audio into four separate tracks which ultimately isolates stems from existing audio tracks. The separated audio events can be bounced again into a single file allowing for quick creation of instrumentals.

SPLICE INTEGRATION: PreSonus has partnered with Splice — the industry-leading catalog of royalty-free sounds and producer tools, to provide the company’s very first in-DAW experience. Using “Search with Sound,” creators can drop in audio or capture a selection within a track and instantly discover compatible sounds from Splice that sync to he project’s key and tempo. While existing Splice users will enjoy this powerful integration, users new to Splice will have access to thousands of Splice samples — hand picked and made free for Studio One Pro 7 users, regardless of whether they are subscribed to Splice or not.

INTEGRATED LAUNCHER: Quickly craft new arrangements with ease using a dynamic grid of audio or MIDI loops and patterns that can be triggered and edited in real time. Now, creators can record or import audio and MIDI directly into cells, edit the contents, create scenes and playlists, and capture Launcher live performances directly on the timeline. Musicians can enjoy effortless drag-and-drop functionality and direct control via Studio One Remote or ATOM/SQ. Best yet, the view is integrated into the arrangement allowing producers to view both the arrange and launch windows at the same time, so users can move content quickly and intuitively between both sections of the arrangement.

PreSonus announces Metro, a new feature for StudioLive Series III Digital Mixers that will revolutionize the way audio professionals mix remotely. Included in the Universal Control 4.2, Metro is the first-to-market solution for remote mixing over the internet. Whether creating a broadcast mix across the country, producing a livestream remotely or convenience and flexibility in audio production.

PreSonus Metro is a free, powerful feature update in Universal Control available for StudioLive Series III mixers. The innovative tool empowers users to transcend geographical barriers and tap into the limitless possibilities of remote audio control and monitoring via a secure, peer-to-peer internet connection.

Whether musicians are tracking vocals in a studio in New York, or a live sound editor is fine-tuning a broadcast mix during a concert halfway across the world, Metro ensures a cohesive and streamlined working experience. This groundbreaking software doesn’t just bridge geographical divides; it also fosters real-time collaboration.

In addition to remote control, musicians and audio engineers can remotely monitor both the main mix and the solo bus from a StudioLive mixer in real-time using their local audio device. Metro’s low latency audio enables instantaneous feedback, allowing for precise adjustments and creative input, as if everyone involved were physically present in the same room. PreSonus Metro revolutionizes audio production by making collaborators more accessible, efficient, and dynamic than ever before.

“The past few years have witnessed a transformative shift in the landscape of back-end audio production, with a significant emphasis on remote work,’ explained Adrian Haselhuber, VP of Product at PreSonus.

“While offline remote collaboration, mixing, and mastering have become routine for music creators, the realm of real-time live sound production demands a higher level of precision and reliability. Our new Metro software update not only offers a dependable, low-latency level of precision and reliability. Our new Metro software update not only offers a dependable, low-latency gateway to live sound production environments but also provides an effortless means to mix and monitor from virtually anywhere in the world. Whether you’re engaged in training, troubleshooting, or crafting a broadcast mix for a live show, Metro offers a swift and seamless solution to accomplish your tasks with upmost efficiency.”

While remotely controlling a StudioLive mixer, users will be able to configure their audio device to not only mix with precision and without lag, but to monitor the audio with pristine playback as well. From there the capabilities are endless – all from the comfort of a personal home office or studio.

PreSonus announced the Revelator microphone. It is “a studio in a mic” and more than a USB microphone. PreSonus describes it this way:

Every musician knows the secret to a great sound is a great microphone, and at its core, Revelator delivers the professional performance you’d expect from a studio microphone. But we didn’t stop there. Revelator’s mixer features compression and EQ modeled on world-class analog processors. An independent reverb bus lets you add just the right amount of shimmer to your sound. Two stereo loopback channels make it easy to add backing tracks and more. When you’re looking for the ultimate live streaming and home recording set-up for singer-songwriters, look no further than Revelator.

Studio Sound Made Easy

Revelator is the first USB microphone to provide State Space-modeled analog processing onboard with the same Fat Channel gate, compressor, and EQ their StudioLive Series III mixers offer. You can enjoy extensive, studio-style processing whether recording in the studio or streaming live. And once you’ve dialed in that perfect sound, you can save it as a preset to use over and over again at the press of a button. An independent reverb bus lets you add shimmer to your performance with ease. Like what you hear? All processing can be printed to your recording, or just used for your monitor mix, you decide.

A Mic For Any Occasion

Professional studios feature a locker full of different microphones so audio engineers have the right tool for the job. Don’t let the single-mic recording set-up fool you, Revelator features three different pick-up patterns for maximum flexibility.

For performances when you’re recording solo, use Cardioid Mode to pick up the sound you want and remove the sounds you don’t.

Recording with a friend? Change to Figure 8 Mode to use one side of the mic for you and the other for your partner. This is ideal for duos where one person is singing and the other is playing guitar.

Recording with a few friends? Switch to Omnidirectional Mode to pick up sound all the way around the microphone, perfect of those campfire-like jam sessions.

Whatever you’re recording, Revelator can adapt to fit your needs.

Add Some Backing Tracks to Your Live Stream

Gigging musicians know that a powerful way to add backing tracks to a performance is with a digital mixer. That’s why PreSonus built one into Revalator! Open up Universal Control and you’ll find an easy-to-use loopback mixer that lets you quickly route backing track audio from your DAW of choice to your live stream. This is also a great rehearsal tool; letting you listen to sketches, new songs, and more all while monitoring at zero latency through studio-quality compression and EQ that will bolster your confidence.

Apple Silicon, iOS, And iPadOS Compatibility – Standard

The PreSonus Revelator is natively compatible with Apple Silicon-based Mac computers, as well as iOS and iPadOS devices, including iPadPro, iPad, iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPod Touch, and iPhone. Because it’s USB class-compliant, there are no special drivers or applications to download and install. You’ll be able to produce on the go – everything from podcasts to folk rock to trap – wherever sound takes you.

PreSonus Audio Electronics Inc. announced the global launch of the AudioBox GO, the smallest, lightest, most portable PreSonus audio interface yet. The perfect solution for musicians and producers seeking an easy and accessible way to start their journey in home music recording or content creations,

PreSonus has released Studio One 5.5, a major update to its award-winning recording and production software (DAW). Studio One 5.5 adds improvements for production, performance, and especially mastering. The first and still only DAW with an integrated mastering environment, Studio One 5.5’s Project page is now even more powerful.

The number one user feature request for the Project Page is now available. With Studio One 5.5, the Project Page now provides full track volume, master volume and insert-effects plug-in parameter automation. Write automation in real-time, using a mouse or hardware controller, or by using the powerful Paint Tool. Clip Gain Envelopes have also been added to the Project Page, enabling you to precisely fix gain issues while mastering, without using dynamics plug-ins. Use the new ListenBus on the Project Page to monitor through your favorite room-correction plug-ins or headphone monitoring tools without affecting the Master output. Free up processing power for complex mastering chains without losing the ability to make adjustments later using Track Transform. It’s all new in Studio One 5.5 Professional.

Studio One Professional’s powerful Digital Release publishing feature now provides the ability to export multiple formats at once so you can export your mastered session for high-resolution releases and streaming services at the same time. The new Target Loudness options let you set target values for loudness and true peak during export – or choose from presets for every popular streaming service to take the guesswork out of preparing your latest release. A new, proprietary, custom-designed dithering algorithm minimizes conversion artifacts and preserves low-level signals when preparing your high-resolution audio for streaming.

Studio One 5.5 also introduces production and performance features. Any MIDI file can now be dragged directly to the Chord Track to extract its chords – and only Studio One’s chord detection works with Audio Events and Instrument Parts. You can now create a strum pattern manually by dragging note events in a selected chord while holding modifier keys. PreSonus’ Ampire XT guitar amp/cabinet/pedalboard plug-in, available in Studio One 5.5, adds faster preset switching optimized for the Show Page, so you can trigger Ampire presets from a MIDI pedalboard during a live performance without missing a beat.

Other improvements include saving automation with mix screens, so you can experiment with multiple automation passes without losing work. The powerful Plug-in Nap feature introduced in version 5.4 is now available on a per plug-in basis, providing even more optimization control. Improvements have also been added for PreSonus ATOM-series controllers with Impact XT and SampleOne XT. Studio One 5.5 is a free update for registered Studio One 5.5 users and included in PreSonus Sphere membership.

PreSonus has released Studio One 5.3, the latest version of its award-winning recording and production software (DAW). The second update in less than three months, version 5.3 adds major new features for scoring, creative production, live performance, and general workflow, many in response to feedback from Studio One users and PreSonus Sphere members.

With the addition of musical symbols playback in Studio One 5.3 Professional, composers working in Score View or Piano View can now connect musical symbols and dynamic markings to Sound Variations, which were introduced in version 5.2. Musical symbols playback works with any orchestral library that features corresponding articulations. A tab in the Sound Variations names of the currently-selected instrument.

A new Musical Symbols lane for the Note Editor lets you view symbols and Sound Variation events side-by-side. Apply musical symbols in either the Note Editor or the Score View, and they will render accurately in both. Output mapping of Sound Variations has been extended to include MIDI channel information as part of the activation sequence, enabling instruments such as Native Instruments’ Contact to address specific articulations.

Version 5.3 also adds several new save, export, and archive options, including the ability to upload Zip archives directly from Studio One 5 Professional to a PreSonus Sphere workplace – great for backing up Songs, Projects, and Shows and sharing them with other Studio One 5 users. A consolidated “Convert To” option on Studio One Professional’s File menu enables exporting and archiving documents for easy transfer and backup, including all referenced media files and alternative versions, with optional lossless audio file compression Save Songs as AAF, Capture Session, MIDI File or Open TL from the same menu.

The Show Page in Studio One Professional drag-and-drop support for FX Chains and seamless patch changes between sounds, so sustained notes are not cut off during patch changes. MPE support for VST3 instruments has been implemented using Note Controllers in Studio One Artist and Professional, and shortcuts have been added to quickly open the External Device Editor from a PreSonus ATOM or ATOM SQ pad controller.

Studio One 5.3 is a free upgrade for registered Studio 5 users and is included in PreSonus Sphere membership.

PreSonus is now shipping Retro Mix Legends, a collection of three Mix Engine Effects plug-ins for the company’s popular Studio One Professional DAW. Retro Mix Legends is the followup to PreSonus’ groundbreaking CTC-1 Pro Console Shaper Mix Engine FX plug-ins, significantly expanding PreSonus’ Mix Engine Effects library. The three plug-ins – Alpine Desk, Brit Console, and Porta Cassette – may be purchased individually or as a bundle and are also included in a PreSonus Sphere membership.

Mix Engine FX is a plug-in paradigm exclusive to Studio One Professional that can subtly alter or completely transform Studio One’s native mix engine. In contrast to conventional plug-ins that must be inserted independently on each channel, with limited or no interaction between channels, activating a Mix Engine Effect on any bus in Studio One will simultaneously affect and cross-process all channels feeding that bus, using one plug-in. Thanks to State Space Modeling technology and the Mix Engine FX architecture, these plug-ins deliver thorough and true-to-life emulations of real hardware behavior, including inter-channel crosstalk, noise, drive, saturation and character. Any bus, including the main stereo bus, can have its own Mix Engine FX assigned, allowing for limitless sonic possibilities.

The new Alpine Desk plug-in faithfully reproduces the complex sonic textures of one of the world’s most coveted American consoles. Its Drive control allows you to hit the console’s preamps as hard as you like, resulting in satisfying saturation and compression, while the Crosstalk and Noise controls can be used to glue your tracks together so everything sits right where it belongs in your mix. Unique to Alpine Desk is a variable output transformer that lets you switch from a 1:1 to 3:1 gain ratio for higher drive settings and a unique dark and dark tonal contours.

Brit Console lovingly re-creates the sound behind arguably more platinum-selling records than any other console. Inherent signal noise plays an important role in defining the sonic character of any analog console; the modeled analog noise in Brit Console is different on every channel being processed, making your mixes more cohesive. Brit Console features three Style options: Vintage, Super, and Modern. Vintage offers a bit of top-end roll-off and a smoother character that defined the sound of British pop in the 1980’s, while those interested in an ultra-clean sound may prefer Super. Enable Modern to switch to a more contemporary dual design with variable harmonic distortion that yields a gentle bass boost, letting you dial in everything from nuanced second- and third-order harmonic saturation to edgy transistor bite.

Perhaps the most unusual offering of its kind, Porta Cassette replicates the smooth, analog, slightly off-kilter, lo-fi mojo of the four-track cassette recorders of the 1980s and ‘90s. Its Character control functions dramatically different than that of any other Mix Engine Effect: Low settings govern the amount of coloration, while cracking it up introduces tape wow and flutter. The unique Pitch control allows you to detune or up-tune every element of your processed bus. Unlike hardware cassette machines, however, the Pitch control won’t affect your playback tempo.

The Retro Mix Legends bundle is available now at the PreSonus Shop at a U.S. street price of $79.95. Alpine Desk, Brit Console, and Porta Cassette can be purchased individually for $29.95 each. All three Mix Engine Effects plug-ins, as well as CTC-1 Pro Console shaper and every PreSonus Studio One add-on are included in PreSonus Sphere memberships.

Compact, convenient, and stylish, the new PreSonus Microstation BT Bluetooth 5.0 stereo monitor controller receives audio from a phone, tablet, or other Bluetooth source and feeds it to your full-range powered speakers. The MicroStation BT can also be hardwired to a powered subwoofer to create 2.1 listening environment.

Quickly pair your Bluetooth-enabled device with the press of a button. A stereo 1/8-inch input enables hardwiring your audio source when you don’t want to use Bluetooth, and a Bluetooth On/Off button lets you toggle between Bluetooth and analog sources. Balanced left and right 1/4-inch TRS inputs route audio from pro audio hardware, such as an audio interface, to your speakers and subwoofer.

You can connect your favorite powered subwoofer using either the balanced 1/4-inch TRS or unbalanced RCA Subwoofer outputs. An 1/8-inch stereo headphone/aux output lets you connect headphones or send stereo audio for streaming, recording, and more.

Controlling the MicroStation BT’s features is fast and easy. A large, ergonomic Volume knob lets you simultaneously control the overall level of your speakers and subwoofer. A Sub Bypass button mutes the subwoofer feed so you can quickly toggle between your 2.1 system and just the full-range speakers. A main Mute button with an LED status indicator let you silence your speakers or headphones without stopping the tunes.

The PreSonus MicroStation BT is available now at your favorite PreSonus dealer for a U.S. street price of $129.95. For more information, please visit HERE.
