FULLY INTEGRATED PRODUCTION WORKFLOW
Recording and mixing designed for Immersive Audio
Experience end-to-end workflow designed for producing in spatial audio from recording with multichannel microphones to mixing with enhanced plug-ins, and exporting files in a variety of formats. Mix in Dolby Atmos or additional formats that support up to 9.1.6 channels, then create Dolby Atmos masters directly from Studio One – both in real time and offline – and when it’s time to deliver, Spatial Audio Export provides convenient batch export options for ADM and downmix formats.
MONITOR UP TO 9.1.6 CHANNELS AND 96 KHZ
Dolby Atmos Native Integration
While other DAWs require additional purchases, plug-ins, complex inter-application audio routing and synchronization for Dolby Atmos integration, Studio One 6 Professional Edition is now Dolby Atmos ready straight out of the box, for free, meaning there is no additional cost to start mixing in Dolby Atmos.
INTEGRATED IMMERSIVE AUDIO TOOLS
Support for Dolby Atmos Binaural Headphone Monitoring
Studio One is now the only DAW that lets you monitor the output of the spatial audio renderer on both speakers and conventional stereo headphones simultaneously and independently. Studio One 6.5’s new dedicated headphone channel allows for simultaneous Binaural monitoring, eliminating the need for switching configurations.
All plug-ins updated for Immersive Audio
Effects and plug-ins (+2 new plug-ins) now support processing of multichannel signals or of any individual channel or pair of channels.
OPENAIR2 CONVOLUTION REVERB WITH 7.1.4 HDIRS
OpenAIR2 gets a new look and a brand-new library of true 7.1.4 impulse responses that create authentically immersive 3D spaces.
NEW MULTI-TAP SURROUND DELAY PLUG-IN
Eight-tap delay with individual surround panners can be synchronized to the song tempo for exciting dimensional and rhythmic effects.
NEW OPEN-SOURCE FILE EXCHANGE FORMAT
Support for DAWproject file format
DAWproject is a new open-source file exchange format designed to let users share sessions across multiple digital audio workstations. For the first time, users of DAWs from different manufacturers can exchange sessions in a format that includes all critical data.
Starting with PreSonus and Bitwig, .dawproject will be provided as a universal import/export format.
ARA PLUG-IN SUPPORT
ARA-enabled plug-ins now available as audio editors on Project Page
With the number of available ARA-enabled plug-ins steadily increasing, there are more and more reasons to reach for them at the mastering stage. ARA-plug-ins can now be utilized easily and in real time without any additional fuss.
STREAMLINED SCORING AND NOTE EDITING
Tablature and lead sheet enhancements
Studio One’s Scoring and Note Editing capabilities have been further optimized for tablature, lead sheets, and drum maps. These features include the addition of rhythm slashes, a chord display that’s dynamically linked to the Chord Track, custom string tunings, and more expressive options for guitar tablature such as guitar bends and rhythmic display.
TOUCH-ENABLED SURROUND PANNING
Studio One Remote updated for Immersive Audio mixing
Studio One Remote for iOS, Android and Windows has been updated to include support for surround mixing, including proper visualization of the updated mixer.
Additionally, a dedicated Surround Panner view has been added to support 3D panning with multitouch; a major benefit when writing pan automation in the absence of a suitable hardware remote controller.
