A full recording and production environment with unlimited tracks, a drag and drop workflow, integrated mastering and a chord track that transposes audio and MIDI together.
Studio One is a recording and production environment with unlimited audio and instrument tracks, and its defining characteristic is that almost everything is drag and drop. Drag an effect onto a track to insert it, drag it between tracks to move it, drag a file from the browser onto empty space to create a track for it, drag an instrument onto a part to load it. That sounds cosmetic until you have used it for a week and going back to menus feels absurd.
Recording handles the ordinary session work properly. Multi track capture at high sample rates with low latency monitoring, comping across takes with a lane view where you paint the best sections together, punch recording, loop recording that stacks passes, and audio bend for timing correction that does not smear the sound. Melodyne style pitch editing is integrated directly into the timeline rather than being a separate window.
The chord track is the feature nobody expects to use and then relies on. Define a progression on the track and both MIDI parts and audio follow it, so an entire arrangement can be transposed or reharmonised after the fact. Combined with scratch pads, which are separate timelines for trying an alternative arrangement without destroying the main one, it makes experimenting cheap in a way most environments do not.
Mixing and mastering happen in the same document. The console has full routing, buses, FX channels, VCA style control, per channel metering and a large included effects set covering dynamics, equalisation, modulation, delay, reverb, amp simulation and analysis. The Project page is a mastering environment that references your songs directly, so a change made in a song updates the master without exporting and reimporting anything, and output goes to disc image, digital release formats or a delivery bundle.

| Processor | Intel or AMD, 64 bit, quad core or better |
|---|---|
| Memory | 8 GB minimum, 16 GB or more for sample heavy sessions |
| Graphics | Any adapter supporting the current display driver model |
| Storage | 40 GB for the application and bundled content, SSD recommended |
| Display | 1920 by 1080, plus an audio interface with a low latency driver |
Use a proper low latency audio driver rather than the generic Windows one. Everything about the experience depends on it.
Keep sample libraries and session recording on separate drives if you can. It removes most of the disk related dropouts.
