The crossgrade is the discounted way into Fender Studio Pro 8 for anyone who owns a qualifying DAW from another manufacturer – with the full feature set.

Fender Studio Pro 8 is the complete production environment for recording, editing, mixing, mastering and live performance – built on the Studio One Pro architecture and extended with Fender instruments and effects.

The drag-and-drop workflow, channel and arrangement overviews and unlimited tracks, channels, buses and plug-ins take you quickly from the first take to the finished song. Audio and MIDI recording with full automation, a 64-bit mixer up to 384 kHz, notation, clip matrix, video playback and native Dolby Atmos and spatial audio mixing are standard.

On board are the virtual instruments of Studio One Pro plus Fender Mustang Guitar and Fender Rumble Bass with amps, cabinets, effects and presets; the Sample One and Impact samplers gained slicing, editing and modulation features. Add 45 native effects, Fender amp, cab and pedal models and the Studio Verb with spectral display. AI tools convert audio to notes, suggest chords (Chord Assistant) and separate mixes into stems.

The Show Page turns Fender Studio Pro into a live performance hub with audio and video playback; a drum metronome with more than 70 patterns and jam tracks help with practice and composition. The content library holds more than 200 GB of loops and samples. The licence is perpetual with up to 5 simultaneous activations via your Fender account.

Proof of purchase of a qualifying DAW is required, e.g. Cubase 9, Live 9, Logic Pro 9, Pro Tools 11, FL Studio 12, Reaper 5, Bitwig Studio 2, Reason 10, Nuendo 8, Digital Performer 9, Samplitude Pro X4, Sonar X2, Mixcraft 8, Acid Pro 9 or Tracktion Waveform 10 (or newer).
