PreSonus Studio One 2.5

This free (to Studio One 2 users) update adds nearly 100 changes and features, as well as bug fixes. All versions of Studio One 2 have been updated, including Studio One Artist, Producer, Professional, and Free.

Although the update adds some new features, it mostly builds on existing Studio One 2 features.

New features and changes of particular interest include:

• Comping Improvements. Single-swipe comping with automatic beaming into parts designed to make comping faster and more powerful.
• Folder Track Editing. Edit directly on the Folder Track, with a waveform preview for all tracks in the folder.
• Track Transform Improvements. Multitrack transform for virtual instruments. Designed to let you turn complex multi-output virtual instruments into audio tracks and back.
• Ampire XT has been overhauled. New cabinet impulse responses, matched with reworked amp models.
• Automation Enhancements. Designed for faster editing of automation envelopes.
• Audio Export Enhancements. Rendering multiple outputs at once results in faster exports.
• Re-recording from Buses. New feature that enables you to use the output of virtual instrument or bus channels as the input to an audio track. In this way, you can print from buses or instruments to new audio tracks in real time.
• Drag-and-drop Event Effects. New modifier key that lets you do things like drag-and-drop effects onto events in the arrangement.
• Wet/Dry Mix and Mix Lock for Effects. Built-in parallel processing on PreSonus Native Effects.
• Legato and Overlap Correction (MIDI).Instantly apply or remove legato from MIDI tracks.

Studio One 2.5 is available immediately and is free to all users.
