What's new in Studio One 4.5 Professional

PreSonus Studio One 4.5 Professional is a worthy update. Multi-core optimization for virtual instruments reduces your CPU load by as much as 70%. Groups can be nested, named, colored, and assigned to keyboard shortcuts. Expanded input, gain staging, phase options, and channel customization puts a lot of power under your fingertips, even if your hardware doesn't support it. Robust routing options enable you to route to single sources/destinations with a single click. Global pre-fader metering has been added to the console, as well as an RMS/Peak metering option for all channels. New note editing options make working with MIDI more powerful than ever. Benefit from new export options, including variable-bitrate MP3, AAC, and ALAC. Keep your plug-ins and virtual instruments organized with a streamlined plug-in manager. What's more, you can lock individual items in the Arrangement Window to prevent unintentional moving or editing. A worthy update indeed!

Multi-core optimization for virtual instruments

Nobody enjoys using bloatware, and Studio One 4.5 Professional is anything but bloatware. Thanks to multi-core optimization, the CPU load for using combined virtual instruments inside a Multi-Instrument has been reduced by 70% for native plug-ins. And if you're using a third-party instrument, you can expect a 50% reduction. Mai Tai and Presence XT have also been optimized, and lots more.
