Whether you’re a Grammy-winning producer or just getting started making music, there’s a version of Studio One that’s right for you. Studio One comes in three flavors: Artist, our flagship Professional version, and Prime, a fully functioning free version. There’s no subscription model with Studio One, so you know what you’re getting today but you can customize it with add-on features and content as your needs grow.
