Fender have just announced the launch of a new free application designed specifically for self-recording guitarists. Available for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux, Fender Studio allows users to record their guitars, vocals or other sources with just a single tap, and comes packed with authentic amp and effects emulations.
Designed by the team behind PreSonus’ Studio One Pro, the new application has been created with simplicity in mind, and features an intuitive GUI that’s been designed to get users up and running as quickly as possible. In addition to its editing and mixing toolkit, Fender Studio comes loaded with professionally recorded multitracks, with users able to mute and solo parts, as well as transposing, slowing down or speeding up parts for rehearsals. There are 20 tracks available at launch, with more planned to be added over time.
Key Features
Fender Studio is available for iOS and Android mobile devices as well as macOS, Windows and Linux computers.As you might expect, Fender Studio shares DNA with PreSonus’ award-winning DAW, offering users access to world-class recording, editing and production capabilities. The new application brings this heritage to a mobile-friendly user interface that’s quick and easy to use. Here’s a quick overview of what’s on offer:
- One-tap Recording: The fastest way to get started without a complicated setup; start recording the moment inspiration strikes.
- Authentic Fender Amp & Effects Models: Record and jam with the sound of authentic Fender Mustang and Rumble Series guitar and bass amplifiers. Includes a ‘65 Twin Reverb guitar amp, Rumble 800 v3 bass amp, five effects pedals and an integrated tuner—plus six additional amps and effects upon free registration of a Fender Connect account. Start shaping tones from scratch or use any of the included presets to get up and running quickly and easily.
- Jam Tracks: Play along with 20 professionally recorded, fully editable jam tracks that range from pop ballads to metal. Each track is a complete multitrack audio session, with options to transpose, mute, solo, speed up or slow down individual parts.
- Studio-Quality Audio Editing Tools: Dial in the sound of your recordings and mix with compression, EQ, reverb and delay, and experiment with fun vocal effects such as De-Tuner, Transformer, Ring Modulator and Vocoder.
“I’ve always said to the team that anyone should be able to just hit a single button on their phone and be able to start recording. 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.” - Andy Mooney, CEO, Fender
Fender Link I/O
The new software release is of course compatible with the Fender Link I/O, the company’s new pocket-sized audio interface. Combining an input stage that’s been designed to replicate the dynamic response of Fender’s world-famous amplifiers with high-quality 24-bit / 96kHz A-D and D-A converters, the compact interface provides a quick and easy way to record and monitor a guitar performance in any mobile or desktop recording applications.
“Fender Studio represents our continued commitment to providing players and musicians of all levels with great-sounding, easy-to-use recording tools. 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.
