What is Studio One (PreSonus)?
Studio One was PreSonus's flagship digital audio workstation, known for its single-window drag-and-drop workflow, Chord Track, Scratch Pads for arrangement experimentation, and native ARA2 integration with Melodyne. As of January 13, 2026, Fender (which acquired PreSonus in 2021) rebranded the software as Fender Studio Pro, adding native Fender amp and effects plugins alongside the existing toolset. The PreSonus brand continues for hardware like Eris monitors and StudioLive mixers, but the DAW itself now carries the Fender name.
Pricing carried over from Studio One Pro 7: a one-time perpetual license, or subscription plans that bundle the license with ongoing feature updates. It targets musicians, producers, and songwriters, especially guitarists given the new Fender plugin integration. Because the transition is recent, some product pages and listings still reference the Studio One name.
