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, 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.

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.
