Fender Studio Pro (Formerly PreSonus Studio One) Download

If you have been searching for Studio One, here is the short version: Fender acquired PreSonus in 2021, and the software has since been rebranded as Fender Studio Pro. Fender’s own page says it is built on the Studio One platform, so the workflow will look familiar to existing users.

What it is

Fender Studio Pro is a digital audio workstation for recording, editing, mixing and producing music on Windows and macOS. Studio One was known for its single-window layout and drag-and-drop approach, where you can drop instruments or effects straight onto tracks.

How it is sold

• Perpetual license: A one-time purchase for the current version. Fender says upgrading an existing Studio One Pro 7 or Fender Studio Pro perpetual license includes one year of new feature releases.
• Subscription: A Pro+ monthly plan is also listed on Fender’s page.
• Free options: The older Studio One Prime was offered as a free basic edition, and Fender says a separate free Fender Studio app remains for recording and demo production. Confirm what is currently available on the official page.
