DAW - PreSonus StudioOne version 5.5 Professional DAW software
Supports recording in 64-bit floating-point WAV format, the recommended recording format for audio interfaces with 32-bit resolution. With this format option, the maximum recording and processing precision now reaches 64-bit/384 kHz, making Studio One the highest resolution audio production and mastering software.
StudioOne version 5 delivers all of the core audio and MIDI recording and editing features, plus a wealth of 64- and 32-bit effects plug-ins and virtual instruments. It imposes no limits on track count and plug-in instantiations, or editing features. It also has support for ReWire and AU/VST plug-ins, MP3 import and export, and additional third-party content and also includes Melodyne pitch correction; SoundCloud™ support; Red Book CD burning; video playback and sync; more Native Effects plug-ins: Groove Delay, Multiband Dynamics, OpenAIR, Pipeline, and IR Maker. StudioOne v5 Professional also includes an integrated mastering solution.
Mastering provides the final EQ, dynamics, and imaging control that can make the difference between a track being “good” and “great.” But you’ll also need analysis tools like spectrum analysis, K-System and EBU loudness metering, phase metering, an expandable level meter, and an oscilloscope to provide visual confirmation of what you hear—as well as to help with conformance to broadcast and duplication standards.
