There really are a wide variety of features and it makes it very helpful to have at least basic versions of all these different workflows available. I appreciate how many different “styles” of features they have incorporated outside of those core features as well.
Like Pro Tools, Cubase, and Logic, Studio One remembers the “Audio Workstation” aspects of “Digital Audio Workstation,” and its mixing workflow and browser behavior has been streamlined very effectively over the years. The maturity of the feature set in editing, mixing, and general studio routing places this in the top class of linear DAWs for me. What keeps me in Studio One is their wide variety of features where it’s convenient and their depth of features where it counts. I am a former Pro Tools and Logic user and while I love those programs as well the feature set here is inclusive enough and the general workflow is cohesive and user-friendly enough that I am happy I am using Studio One. Overall, Studio One helps me compose songs, record them, edit them, and export them and it does it well enough that I’ve never felt the need to go back to any of the other DAWs I’ve used prior. Studio One misses some popular plugins found in other DAWs.
Studio One supports unlimited audio and MIDI tracks, VST plugins, automation, unlimited busses, professional quality effects and instruments, MIDI editing with Auto Quantize, time compression/expansion with Tempo Sync. The learning curve is much easier than the competition and the interface is designed to make your job easier.
DDP import/export function for mastering. It has a comprehensive set of features including monophonic and polyphonic tracks, MIDI sequencing, an intuitive interface with drag-and-drop functionality, and 4-band parametric EQs. It's a powerful DAW tool that can be used for live performance, recording, composing, editing, mixing, mastering. The interface is well designed and intuitive and the feature set is amazing, but what really sets it apart is the quality of the built-in effects and instruments. I can say, without reservation, that it's the best DAW I've ever used. I'm an audio engineer and producer, and I've been using Studio One for a few months now. Savvy and smart music producers use Studio One
