The PreSonus Studio One 4 Professional 64-bit double-precision mix engine is state of the art, while the smooth, analog quality of the virtual instruments comes from proprietary techniques that provide much higher controller resolution. That’s why Studio One just plain sounds better.
The reason why Studio One resonates with musicians is simple: PreSonus listens. Many new features in Version 4 are the direct result of user feedback, including AAF import/export so users can bring song data from their old DAW into Studio One. Add the most flexible arranging tools of any music program, full integration with Notion for superior notation, over 20 GB of carefully curated content, analog console emulation, advanced step sequencing, unified hardware control with the FaderPort series of hands-on controllers, and much more—it’s no wonder that Studio One continues to gain new followers every day.
PreSonus Notion 6 is a music composition and performance environment using notation software to bring musical ideas to life. Compose traditional notation, tablature, or lead sheets easily and seamlessly on a Mac, Windows, or mobile device, even using handwriting. Create music directly on the staff, record or enter notes quickly with a MIDI instrument, or use the integrated virtual keyboard, fretboard, or drum pad.
Playback can be realised using samples recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, and guitars by Neil Zaza, electric bass by Victor Wooten and a drum kit by Roy "Future Man" Wooten. Other samples include Olympus Micro Choir and Lakeside Pipe Organ by Soundiron. Enhanced VST support and bundled PreSonus effects add further functionality.
Projects can be integrated with any professional DAW via ReWire, or the use of audio/MIDI streaming, along with close integration with PreSonus Studio One. Film scoring is possible with the included advanced video capabilities. New layout controls allow for polishing the appearance of the scores and MusicXML support facilitates transfer between other notation and music apps. Export WAV or MP3 files with instant SoundCloud sharing.
