I use Studio One 6 at church to run stems for worship songs through a Volt 476P. The I/O setup allows me to group multiple stem tracks together, creating 4 different subs routed to 4 different outputs: all guitars to1, all keys to 2, all loops, FX, BGVS, etc. to 3, and click and guide to 4. These outputs go into 4 channels on the worship center mixer for playback/monitor during live performance with the band. Also like the fact that different I/O configurations can be saved (export) and loaded (import); that's a handy feature.

Thanks Joe, I use studio one for many many years now and I love it. Today thanks to you I can finally record and hear audio.

[@lawanedavis7818]

I have been waiting for this video for years 😂, thank you Joe.

[@thomas911a]

Thanks Joe! Can you please make a video on how to best approach recording without a click? All songs I like the most are recorded without a click and I think it make music sound more alive and natural.

Helpful to have light shined on that corner of the software. Thank you. What about midi inputs in the I/O graphic?

[@Nickyrock1962]

Thank you joe, the i/o can be useful I set it up as a virtual amp selection where i put all my virtual amps on inputs like amplitube and guitar rig and others and export the i/o setup then inport it on new songs to get my guitar sounds. I have a simple 2i2 2 in 2 out but i have that amp i/o with 10 inputs all actually pointing to input 1

[@dahlbaker]

Thank you Joe.

[@davidpotter4673]

Thanks Joe! Great topic! I've spent so much time wondering why I'm not getting any audio signal in Studio One. That will save me a lot of time!

I’m doing a string recording session next month, and I have 8 cue mixes and my mains. 😆 Dante 32x32 for the win!

[@74Bagas]

what was that, "i hit ok, i hit apply" ? you did the opposite, love it 🤣

[@hexateck]

very good tuto!!!! it helped me so much to understand I/Os on Studio One! thanks

[@fuserproducer]

easy peasy love it ❤

[@djbostar]

Thanks this information studio one pro 😎

[@matslarsson5988]

I wonder how many users have gotten confused over the years by that "M" thinking its mute? 😅

[@matthewjohnson0627]

You know how long it took me to figure out that a cue mix had to be stereo? 😂

Separate recording and playback device is not available on Windows S1 Pro v6 - unless i am missing something.

[@mephistowalzofficial9970]

My Motu interfaces can all be used at once because they show up as one giant interface. All four of my rack Motu's plug into one PCI-E card that combines them before WIndows sees them.

[@MrYuppiedu]

From my experience the Windows OS allows only one ASIO device at once for recording/playback.

[@patrickm.4469]

Yes that is a Windows limitation sadly 😢

[@lordcannon2020]

My Windows system is set to 48 kHz with its audio interfaces (use ASIO driver), but SO1 only shows 44.1 kHz and cannot be changed. When loading projects with 48 kHz, an error is often displayed and the audio does not play. Then I have to change the audio interface and when I switch back it works, even if only 44.1 kHz is displayed. Is there anything I can do about this?

[@patrickm.4469]

What interface are you using?

[@lordcannon2020]

@@patrickm.4469 I usually use the built-in Realtek ALC1150 or output the signal via the nVIDIA GP104 or JBL Quantum 610. Depending on the process (stream, etc.), the ASIO4ALL, the generic ASIO driver from FL Studio or the generic ASIO driver from Steinberg is used. In other DAWs (Ableton, Samplitude, Reaper, Cubase) these devices are addressed at 48kHz.

The projects are in 48 kHz, but in Studio One only 44 kHz is displayed and a change is not possible. Since the projects work, the question is, is it just a display problem with the DAW?

I/O... I/O... It's off to work we go...

[@9FAQ]

Thanks for the guide, Joe. Quick question to the Presonus team - what are you guys smoking, what's wrong with your marketing and overall messaging? How come Version 7 is already pirated and cracked, can be downloaded and explored by anyone, but for licensed users at this time you only posted a price update and gave us ZERO features and reasons to switch to version 7? I don't get what you are thinking at all, you should have been marketing the version 7 (if it's any good) at least a month prior to release, and the price update should be a final video of the series, so people can judge if the changes in price and new features are worth it. But now, when version 7 is out there in the wild, and you are yet to tell us about a single new feature of it, you just don't look good in this situation, guys.

[@earledaniels4539]

Hi Joe, I have always found the I/O setup for Presonus interfaces straight forward. What I struggle with is the Universal Control software and how it ties in with the interface function and Studio One software. Is there any chance of you doing a tutorial on the Universal Control software?

[@CharlieBravo887]

Joe, can you please do a video on how you mix your regualr speaking videos like this. I'm sure the main reason your voice sounds great is because God gave you a great voice, but I'm guessing you also process it too. I want my speaking voice to sound as good as possible, but I don't have a deep, resonant voice like you. Thanks you all you do for us.

[@constantinevlachos9155]

Joe, I have an analog 8-channel mixer and an Audiobox 96. Which interface would you recommend to get the best out of both?

[@RodrigoFloresOficial]

Como es que el color de la onda se ve del color elegido y no negro? Como logras eso?

[@luigicorio4031]

I'm using studio one v6 and studiolive 32r. My inputs in universal control are set to analog and my outputs in Studio One are set yo mains. I can record and playback with no problem. I want to utilize aux 1 fof a mix when I'm tracking. But I don't understand about switching my inputs in universal control to USB AND selecting digital sends. I have been on support with Presonus. Could you fo a video about this. Thank you Joe, youvbeen a big help on so many other matters.
