Computer system requirements:

Studio One® is a modern, cross-platform DAW that is capable of operating as a 32-bit or 64-bit application. While we make every effort to ensure Studio One will run well on the widest variety of computers possible, please read these specifications carefully to determine compatibility with your system.

Below are the minimum computer-system requirements for Studio One.

Mac

macOS® 10.11 or higher (64-bit only) or later

Intel® Core Duo processor (Intel Core™ 2 Duo or Intel Core i3 or better recommended)

2 GB RAM (4 GB or more recommended)

Windows

Windows® 7x 64/x86 SP1 or Windows 8/8.1 x64/x86 or Windows 10 x64/x86

Intel Core 2 processor (Intel Core i3 processor or better recommended)

4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended)

Windows and Mac Systems

USB 2.0 Port

Internet connection (for activation)

Monitor with at least 1024x768 resolution

20 GB hard-disk space

Internal or external 7200 RPM storage drive highly recommended

The minimum system requirements may differ for DAWs other than Studio One. Please check the requirements for your DAW of choice with its manufacturer.

Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) than you might experience while monitoring audio or MIDI signals. Monitor resolution for both PC and Macintosh should be no lower than 1024x768 pixels.
