PreSonus Studio One Pro 7 will be released on 9 October 2024. But a little information about the DAW is already available. The focus is on a fundamental change.
PreSonus Studio One Pro 7
With the release of PreSonus Studio One Pro 7, there is now only one version of the DAW. Studio One Artist and Studio One Prime are now history. The manufacturer wants to make the line-up clearer, which is a good idea!
One DAW for all – this is the slogan PreSonus presents us with with Studio One Pro 7. All virtual instruments, effects and tools are included in the DAW update without any restrictions. These include Audio Batch Converter, Presence XT Editor, Deep Flight One (including a new Extended Soundset) and Lead Architect.
In addition, from version 7 onwards, the DAW will receive major feature updates on a regular basis and at a new pace. PreSonus is talking about four major updates per year – so a new feature update for Studio One Pro 7 is planned for early January 2025. So far, there has been a major update every two years or so, so this is good news.
However, there is a small caveat: from the time you buy Studio One Pro 7, updates are free for one year, after which you will need to upgrade again. However, the manufacturer makes it clear that the DAW licence will not be lost if the ‘upgrade plan’ is not renewed. In other words, you can continue to use the software without restriction, but you will not benefit from any further updates. And if you think an update is worthwhile, you can renew for another year and get new features as they become available.
New pricing
The DAW is now $199.99 for new customers, with upgrades (from any previous Artist or Pro version) and the aforementioned Upgrade Plan available for $149.99.
Those who purchased Studio One 6 Pro after 1 August 2024 will receive the latest version, including a 1-year upgrade plan, when PreSonus Studio One Pro 7 is released.
A subscription model is still available for $179.99 for one year.
PreSonus Studio One Pro 6 is available from Thomann*.
What is new in PreSonus Studio One Pro 7?
The big question, of course, is what new features PreSonus has in store for Studio One Pro 7. Unfortunately, there is no further information on this yet, so we will have to be patient, but there will be an update with more news by 9 October at the latest.
