PreSonus Studio One 4.5 Adds 70+ Features and Enhancements

May 21, 2019

PreSonus® is now shipping Studio One® 4.5, a major update to its powerful yet easy-to-use recording and production software. With more than 70 new features and improvements, this free update for Studio One 4 users adds several of the most requested features from the Studio One user community and adds advanced tools that streamline professional audio and MIDI production workflows.

The redesigned Input Channel section adds updated hardware preamp controls for selected PreSonus audio interfaces, as well as software-based input gain and phase controls to every input. This combination of hardware- and software-based gain controls offers more flexibility and control throughout the entire recording and mixing process. All audio and instrument channels, effects channels, and buses also feature gain and phase controls so you can manage perfect levels across the entire mix without increasing event gain.

Grouping has been completely redesigned: Groups now have attributes for defining edit groups or mix groups using attributes for Volume, Pan, Mute/Solo, Inserts, and Sends. Groups can be nested and can be easily edited and activated/suspended with one click. A dedicated command can globally enable/disable all Groups at once.

Setting up an external audio interface is a lot easier thanks to several I/O setup improvements. Add any number of new inputs and outputs in just one step, including custom naming and coloring. Inputs and outputs can be reordered with simple drag-and-drop. Users who switch interfaces, move between studios, or collaborate will appreciate the new Import and Export options for I/O setups.

A new Plug-In Manager lists all installed third-party plug-ins, including a list of plug-ins that were blacklisted during the initial scan, allowing them to be reset individually or globally. Showing or hiding individual or groups of plug-ins only takes a few clicks.

Honoring one of Studio One users’ top requests, CPU load for using combined virtual instruments inside a Multi-Instrument has been reduced by a whopping 70% for Native Plug-ins and by around 50% for third-party instruments like Kontakt. CPU optimization has also been implemented for Mai Tai, Presence XT, SampleOne^® XT, and Impact XT.

Studio One 4.5 takes MIDI editing to a new level with major new features and improvements to speed up workflow. Several powerful new note actions have been added; examples include Fill with Notes, Randomize Notes, Apply Scale and Mirror Notes. Note actions can be used manually and individually, and they can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts and used as part of a Macro command. Shortcuts or Macros can then be added to any Macro Toolbar, enabling even more powerful customization.

The new update adds many other important features and enhancements. For instance, the Chord Selector now offers a convenient Audition mode. Individual Audio Events, Audio Parts, and Instrument Parts in an arrangement can now be locked to prevent unintentional moving or editing, and you can even lock entire tracks. You can now export video with the audio mixdown as the soundtrack. AAC (m4a) and ALAC (Apple Lossless) format compatibility for audio import and export at different bit depths and sample rates have been added.

Has to be simple:
When I adjust the 'Volume' of a track, it doesn't seem to change the level of the recording.
I was expecting the input volume to adjust based on how much I change the input slider right below the 'Mute/Solo/Arm/Monitor' buttons (to the left of the track). I see the word 'Volume' in the upper left, plus a value that changes with the slider, but the wave display doesn't change as I adjust that control before or during a recording.
In other words, when recording, the recording volume appears to be the same if the slider is at max, min or in-between.
Obviously I can increase the output from my mixer, but I suspect there's a place in the interface that I'm missing.

The recording volume is going to be determined by the input gain on your interface.

Like Matt said above, the pre-converter gain is controlled by your pre-amp or gain stage before and/or on the audio hardware interface and the channel fader is staged after the recorded signal.
But you can adjust the post-converter / pre-recorded gain level inside of Studio One during recording on the input channel, like if for example you like the level you're hitting the pre-amp and hardware ADC but want to trim or gain the recorded level to disk for some reason. That's all done in the digital domain, after the converter, but before the hard disk.
Look to the left of the console panel for a button labeled 'Inputs' to see the input channels and their faders and inserts panels and all that.
Hope that helps.
