PreSonus Studio One Professional 2 Music Production Software Reviews
Been hopping around from DAW to DAW for a while looking for one that suited me. Hated FL and Sonar, didn't care much for Pro Tools either. Was recommended this by a friend who owns a studio(I'm building my own), and am so glad I decided to grab it. I use lots of MIDI in my music and have 2 sound sets(East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Platinum and Spectrasonics Omnisphere) and so sound set integration was key. Using Mixcraft bogged me down with tedious work as it didn't support multiple MIDI channels so I would have to put the preset on, turn it into an audio file, reimport it back in as a track, etc. and it was just a major pain in the ass, especially if I ended up wanting to change something(especially in Omnisphere which has so many presets and options that I still haven't gone through even half of them). Not a problem with Studio One. You can even load in a VST more than one time(so for example, you can load 16 MIDI channels on Symphonic Orchestra, but if you load more than one instance of it your limitation basically becomes your system memory). Anyway sorry for the rambling on that, but the MIDI integration is a huge factor for me. Professional also comes with dozens of individual effects, presets for them, etc. including a pitch correction(auto-tune) program. I have used it once and it worked pretty well in that time I used it(though to be fair, I was working with a very talented vocalist and she wasn't off noticeably at all). Some of the effects I haven't used yet(delay, filters, distortions, stuff like that) but if they're the same quality as the ones I have used they're probably pretty good. Sound quality is excellent, the program gives you various options on bitrates and all that jazz based on what formats and whatnot you're recording in. I'm doing my recording in a small bedroom and it sounds almost like the songs are being done in a full studio(I don't kill the dynamics with overcompression, that's why I say "almost" ;P). As for manufacturer support, there is an active forum for the DAW online where people swap presets, loops, etc. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a good easy to use DAW. Seriously, it took me all of 10 minutes after setup was complete to get my crap in order and get ready for making recordings. If you've used Mixcraft or Garage Band, the setup is pretty similar. The interface is very clean. If it had an integrated standard notation viewer for the MIDI a la Sibelius or Finale I'd be very happy but it isn't a big deal that it doesn't.
