Presonus has released Studio One Free, a stripped-down free version of their Studio One 2 digital audio workstation.
Intended for beginners who don’t yet need the advanced features in Studio One™ Artist, Producer, and Professional, Studio One Free provides all of the recording and editing features needed for basic music production—and as its name implies, it’s free.
To use Studio One Free, download the Studio One installer by clicking on the link for your operating system below, install, and then click on Run the Free Version when the activation dialog comes up. You can then immediately use Studio One Free, no Internet connection or user account is required, no product key is involved, and Studio One Free will not time out.
Studio One Free is available for free download via Presonus. To learn about the limitations of the free version, check out the Studio One comparison chart (no VST support, no MP3 export, no transient detection, etc.).
