The Arrange view employs a waveform display with user-selectable color-coding and sample-level zoom. The Arrange view shows you the big picture, while the Edit view shows you the up-close details; used together, they virtually eliminate the need to zoom in and out.

Studio One’s Browser provides instant access to effects, loops, instruments, and other key elements. You can preview any audio clip, and if the clip has tempo information encoded, it will play synced to the Song tempo. There’s no limit to how many of these assets you can use.

Studio One’s powerful drag-and-drop function allows you to drag an audio clip, effect, or a virtual instrument from the Browser directly onto a track in the Arrange or Console (mixer) view. Time stretching enables Studio One to automatically match tempo-encoded audio clips with Song tempo. You can copy an effect or a whole chain of effects—including settings—by simply dragging to a new track in the Console view. These are just a few of the many ways that Studio One’s Browser and drag-and-drop implementation allow you to work quickly, without scrolling through pages of menus. It’s a lot more fun too! No other music-production program even comes close.

The Console view includes faders, solos, mutes, pans, and other expected elements. It also includes extensive sidechaining capability.

The compact Console view allows you to mix while viewing the arrangement so you don’t have to bounce back and forth between windows. Clicking “Mix” opens a full-featured Console with access to all mixer controls, effects-routing parameters, and automation. Edit and Inspector buttons open detailed views of track events and parameters.
