Fender Studio: The closest thing to PreSonus Studio One in your pocket?Fender Studio has arrived, and with its one-tap recording, range of amp sims and jam tracks and simple-to-understand user interface, it could very well be a disruptor to existing simplified DAW offerings like GarageBand and BandLab.
Available on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux, Fender Studio can be downloaded on any computer or mobile device, offering a simple recording and editing solution for anyone looking to quickly capture their ideas when inspiration strikes.

It adds to Fender’s growing portfolio of apps, which also includes Fender Play, Fender Tone and Fender Tune. Fender Studio itself is free; all you’ll need is an audio interface. Fender’s recently launched compact Link I/O, for example, will do the trick.
An offering from an out-and-out guitar brand, many of Fender Studio’s features are aimed at guitarists, like a range of amp sims emulating its Mustang and Rumble amps, as well as a series of effects and a tuner. 
But it is essentially a one-stop recording solution, so vocalists and other musicians can also record and capture ideas using their device’s microphone.

The app also offers 20 jam tracks ranging in style from pop ballads all the way through to metal. Each of these tracks is a multitrack session, so users can transpose, mute, solo, speed up and speed down elements as they would in any conventional DAW.
Sharing DNA with Studio One (Fender acquired PreSonus in 2021), Fender Studio also comes with a selection of studio-quality audio editing tools, including a compressor, EQ, reverb and delay, and vocal effects like de-tuner, transformer, ring modulator and vocoder.
“I’ve always said to the team, anyone should be able to just hit a single button on their phone and be able to start recording,” said Fender CEO Andy Mooney. 
“We’ve built exactly that. We believe Fender Studio will enable more music creation than ever before by serving the needs of today’s creators and that will drive sustained growth for our company and our industry. I’m proud of what the team has created and can’t wait to hear what gets recorded in Fender Studio.”

“Fender Studio represents our continued commitment to providing players and musicians of all levels with great sounding, easy to use recording tools,” said Max Gutnik, EVP & GM of PreSonus, Jackson, Charvel, Gretsch and EVH Brands. 
“Whether you are new to recording or a seasoned pro, Fender Studio delivers authentic Fender tones and intuitive editing capabilities to record, jam, create and inspire, for free. We are super-excited to release Fender Studio and hear all the amazing music it will help bring into the world!”
Fender Studio is free and available to download now. For more information, head to Fender.
