Studio One 6 is the sixth major update of the Digital Audio Workstation (or DAW) Studio One by Presonus. In the recording studio at the version we have installed is Studio One 6 Artist, which has most the major features that exist on the Professional addition, with the exception of a few specialized tools. Due to it's relatively intuitive workflow and user interface it is often recommended as a starter DAW for people new to audio production.
What is a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)?
DAWs are feature rich tools that are most often used for music, but can also be useful when wanting to work with spoken word audio (e.g. a podcast) especially when you need to handle multiple people talking at the same time. There are a wide variety of virtual instruments and effects that come with most DAWs as well as access to even more via the internet.
