PreSonus Is Now Fender Studio – Here's What You Need to Know

If you've recently heard about PreSonus becoming Fender Studio, don't worry—you haven't lost your favorite recording software or audio interface. Instead, you're witnessing the next step in Fender's long-term vision for music creation.

Whether you're already a Studio One user or you've been considering a PreSonus audio interface, here's everything you need to know.

A Quick History

Many musicians don't realize that Fender acquired PreSonus in 2021. Since then, both companies have continued operating normally while working behind the scenes to combine their expertise in instruments, recording hardware, and music production software.

Now, Fender has officially unified these products under a single identity: Fender Studio.

What's Actually Changing?

The biggest change is the branding.

Products you've known under the PreSonus name are gradually being renamed under the Fender Studio ecosystem.

Examples include:

• Studio One Pro → Fender Studio Pro
• Quantum audio interfaces → Fender Quantum Series
• AudioBox Go → Fender AudioBox Go
• Universal Control → Fender Universal Control

The software and hardware themselves remain the same products musicians have trusted for years—just with a new name and updated visual identity.

Will My PreSonus Products Still Work?

Absolutely.

If you already own PreSonus hardware or software, you don't need to panic.

Your licenses, projects, and compatible hardware continue to function, and Fender has stated that the goal is to build upon the existing PreSonus platform rather than replace it. Existing users can continue working as normal while benefiting from future updates under the Fender Studio name.

Why Is Fender Doing This?

Fender wants to create a complete music creation ecosystem.

For decades, Fender has been known for guitars, basses, amplifiers, and effects. By bringing PreSonus into the Fender family, they can now offer musicians everything from:

• Instruments
• Audio interfaces
• Recording software
• Virtual amplifiers and effects
• Music production tools

—all working together under one brand.

It's a move designed to make recording and producing music simpler, especially for guitarists and home studio creators.

What About Studio One?

Studio One isn't disappearing.

In fact, it's continuing its development as Fender Studio Pro, keeping the powerful workflow and professional recording features that made Studio One one of the world's most respected DAWs.

The newer versions even add Fender's own amp models, guitar-focused workflows, and additional creative tools while maintaining compatibility with existing users. 

The Bottom Line

This isn't the end of PreSonus—it's the beginning of its next chapter.

The technology, engineering, and products musicians love are still here, now backed by one of the most recognizable names in the music industry.

Whether you're recording your first demo or producing your next album, Fender Studio aims to bring instruments, recording, and creativity together in one connected ecosystem.
