PreSonus has announced some pretty big changes for the future of its Studio One product offerings. As of this autumn, there will be “one DAW for all”.

Beginning with the release of version 7 on 9 October, the brand is moving to one, feature-complete edition of its flagship software and will no longer offer Studio One Artist and Studio One Prime Editions. Going forward, Studio One Pro will be the one-stop shop for everything.

According to PreSonus, these changes are the direct result of user feedback. Studio One Pro 7 will be the last numbered version release, meaning in the future version naming will be time-based with the first of these new feature releases coming early next year. No official date for this has yet been given.


However, starting today, all Studio One Pro perpetual licences will include one full year of new feature releases from the time of registration. This means you’ll upgrade your licence on your schedule and still get to keep a full year of new features released after you purchase a licence — without worrying about the timing of major releases.

PreSonus assures you will never lose access to Studio One Pro with any perpetual licence, and that in fact, Studio One Pro perpetual licences will become “more accessible than ever”, with improvements to upgrade eligibility and pricing. Also from today, the brand is offering one upgrade price for all, allowing owners of any previous version of Studio One Professional or Studio One Artist Edition to upgrade for $149.99


As for Studio One+, this will become Studio One Pro+, and is “still the best way into everything Studio One Pro”. All Pro+ subscribers will continue to have unlimited access to cloud-based tools, content, loops, samples, and all the extras.

For subscribers and members on Hybrid plans, your annual subscription will continue to include a Studio One Pro perpetual licence along with all new features released each year of your subscription.
