With more rounded video support, new sounds, tangibly improved mixer functionality, and friendlier Smart Templates for new users to name only a few, for me Studio One 6 is a HIT.
Luke Goddard
Production Expert
Studio One 6 does a great job of putting all the software tools a songwriter could need in one place…. I’m sold on trying to make Studio One 6 my go-to DAW. It’s the only one I’ve worked with that puts it all together and allows me to tailor the software.
Andy McDonough

Fuller, fatter and more versatile than the majority of DAWs out there, version 6 takes Studio One to the next level, and ably re-configures itself to suit your needs.
Andy Price
MusicRadar, October 2022
Studio One 6.0 has become a complete DAW package with that new video track ticking the final box. And Studio One+ gives you full access to it all at a minimum of cost. Like I said, it’s a no-brainer.
David Hague

Functions such as the global video track or the text integration have really been thought through to the end and implemented excellently. The track presets are also a great feature.
