This is my official Studio One 3 - I will transfer the PreSonus license to the buyer. Studio One can be installed on 5 computers.

Studio One 3 looks prettier than ever, with its new high-DPI graphics designed to work better with touchscreen displays - multitouch is now also supported, and Slate Digital are planning to support it with their Raven MTI.

iPad users, meanwhile, can take advantage of the Studio One Remote controller app, available for free from the App Store. Finally, further tweaks include a much-improved browser, a second user-selectable edit tool, coloured channels, resizable faders and automation curves.

On the down side, even with its improved graphics, Studio One's single-window interface demands a fairly large monitor, which makes it a bit frustrating to use on a laptop. The sombre grey hue is also arguably less easy on the eye than v2's more lively pale grey.

Those GUI-related issues aside, Studio One 3 is a very solid update, boasting greatly improved content, a significantly more powerful and creative featureset, and a generally more professional feel. It all adds up to a well-rounded DAW that, for the most part, stands shoulder-to- shoulder with its far more established rivals
