Recently Sony Music Entertainment announced a major project to release as many as seven posthumous Michael Jackson albums. The first new Jackson album has already been released and is the product of multiple producers, notably including Teddy Riley. And Riley’s primary tool for the project was PreSonus Studio One Pro music-production software, aided and abetted by his PreSonus FireBox interface and FaderPort control surface. In fact, Riley’s entire team has switched to Studio One Pro for all of their projects.

PreSonus interviewed Riley while he and his team were creating their part of the new Michael Jackson mixes with Studio One Pro. Riley received raw tracks from Sony, removed the music, kept Jackson’s voice and some other elements, and then created a new song around that. “It’s been a lot of fun because you have a fun software,” he says. “Everybody is fascinated by it because I’m creating this really quick. We did the first song of Michael in three or four hours, and we went home thinking, ‘that was quick.’ But the next song after that, because I know Michael is so into sounds, I had to do a lot of research to find loops and sounds that will make people go, ‘wow, that was so dramatic.'”
