Installing and Setting Up Studio One Artist

The included PreSonus Studio One Artist for OSX and Windows is a powerful and complete DAW that allows you to get started

straight away with your Impact LX 49/61 even if you don’t have any other music software.

Installation

The Studio One Artist 2.6 installer can be located on the included DVD and the product key on the white DVD sleeve.

Your Presonus Studio One Artist license is subject to PreSonus’s standard End User License Agreement (EULA) which must be

accepted upon installation. In addition, Studio One Artist requires a personal product registration through the internet and a

computer matching the minimum requirements of the software.
