A superb tutorial. No waffling, straight to the point. Just whats needed.

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

Thanks again Phil! 😀

[@pumbabeats420]

Man these shortcuts is just insane. I've been using fl studio for about 15 years and i love it in so many ways, but editing audio files and fading volumes etc has never been as ez as with studio one. Im gonna put time to learn this in and out. Will prolly watch this video many times over and over. Thanks for sharing. Excellent content :)

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

Glad you found this useful and good luck with learning Studio One! Learning a DAW inside out takes time but is really worth in the end! ✊

[@petebell132]

Thanks for doing this...once I learn I hope I can share and pass on your generosity

[@manuellara5528]

I would never imagine that kind of sound could come from a teacher like you! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GOLD INFO!

[@MusicShed]

Thank you sir!

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

Well sir, the pleasure is all mine 😄

Thank you brother this is so handy I've written them down this will help my workflow immensely i think.

[@jacoblindsey7675]

Sharing with all of my colleagues. You are insane at beatboxing. I was in full study mode and your beatboxing bits drew me back in when I started getting lazy. Subscribed and liked. Cheers mate, stay safe.

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

Thanks friend! Much appreciated 😊 Hope you find my future content helpful.

Bro you the GOAT for this video!

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

Thanks bruthaaa!

[@matthewjoshua1025]

I have to stop and take notes in a word document for this. If you get this, make more of these vids for the studio one. There's not enough quality content for studio one out there. Keep up the good work.

[@leanderhaverich3682]

Thanks for the effort! Now I don't have to reference the shortcut settings all the time. I hope you keep making studio one tutorials.

[@danceswith7wolves]

That was some mean beatboxing 😳 didn't expect that 😆👌

[@tri-unetrl3966]

I purchased the Logic keyboard for Studio One which has all the keyboard shortcuts printed on colored illuminated keys AND I even added 40 more custom keyboard shortcuts on it on top of that! I'm nothing nice in Studio One I'm telling you... 💪🏽🏆🔥

[@jeff7775]

Great Vid - thank you! I think it’s worth highlighting that in S1 all keyboard shortcuts and macros are customizable. There’s even templates based on other DAWs. For instance as an ex-cubase user, I just started with presonus’ supplied cubase template and further customized from there (something impossible in steinberg’s environment- at least back a few years ago). For instance: I much prefer to have fast toggle on/off access to the mixer so added Cntrl-Shift C to do this. This way I don’t always have to jump to F keys. Anyway, Cheers!

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

Oh for sure this is one of the great features of Studio One! Thanks for the helpful comment 👌 It's always good to hear how other people have customized their shortcuts. I'll be doing another video on some custom macros that I've made too.

[@brandongeorge7648]

amazing vid very helpful thanks!

[@anthonyhendriks]

You're a good teacher. Cleverly done!

[@billlowdell2953]

Brilliant video dude 😂👍 ... Some really useful time saving stuff there ... Thought I knew my way around S1 🤣 ... Thanks for taking the time to make this. 👌🏻

[@AlbertoDelacruz92]

I can attest that these are the best studio one shortcuts. Use these and they will call you a magician.

Wow that's a lot of shortcuts. Hope to get comfortable with these soon. Coming from FL Studio as orchestration workflow is lacking

[@stupidusername38]

like you i use as many keyboard shortcuts as i can to avoid the mouse. I do however have a much easier method so that i don't have to memorise tons of shortcuts. I use a Corsair K95 gaming keyboard. It comes with software for the keyboard called iCue which allows you to map complex keyboard shortcuts to the keys. Where it shines is that you can create layers so that once you've mapped all available keys you simply create a new layer and you can continuing mapping to the new layer. I have 3 layers in operation Recording for all shortcuts that are recording related. The second layer is Editing and the third layer is mixing I can switch easily between layers and fire off shortcuts with a press of one key, not multiples. Have a look at my videos if you want to know more. I find it liberating to not have to use modifiers and the keys, just one button.

[@stupidusername38]

here's one that confused the hell out of me. Maybe someone else has experienced this. With the Console view open using the Up and Down arrows navigates up and down through the tracks but it also moves left and right through the console channels. Here's where it gets confusing, if you have FX, VCA or Busses the arrow keys won't scroll left/right through these non Track channels. Instead, you have to use the bracket keys [ and ] to navigate left right through console channels

[@tkk957]

Amazing, thank you so much for this great video! I don't suppose there is away to move the cursor with the keyboard? My setup is awkward and it would help a lot if I didn't have to use the mouse when starting off with a project... I have seen shift with +/- but it doesn't work on my keyboard because I don't have a number pad :(

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

I'm honestly not sure sorry. If you contact Presonus Tech Support they might be able to offer some advise. They've been very helpful when I've contacted them in the past. Good luck! 🙂

[@katkwik2053]

When you click “T to add track” is there a short cut for the drop down menu to select music? My brother is visually impaired and this would make it extremely easy to add tracks for him and select music without having to use a mouse to find and click on the drop down menu list. Thanks

[@XXXxxx-ck6po]

gj man

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

Thanks 👍

[@SamA-ll2dt]

Any idea if you can change the zoom mouse wheel shortcuts? I really want to make just Ctrl and mouse wheel horizontal zoom rather than Ctrl + Shift. There doesn't seem to be an option though unfortunately.

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

Unfortunately there is no way to do that but I encourage you to vote on the multiple feature requests that have been submitted for this to be added. 🤞 Here's one with quite a few votes already: answers.presonus.com/25715/user-configurable-mouse-actions

[@fsb5370]

L takes you to the clip beginning, now I need a short to clip end. I also need one to close gaps.

[@curtisestell6100]

Please show me how to put 1plugin across multiple tracks

[@metallpt147]

What’s the shortcut to where let’s say you record audio or virtual instrument and want to cut the very end tail of it? Example I’ve seen is let’s say someone has extra seconds at the end of a recording, for this example track goes to bar 15, they put the cursor at bar 14 and hit some hot key and it automatically cuts that extra part off instead of clicking the track and dragging the tail end to the desired bar

[@theodoresouvinos4448]

Excellent video and download. Thank you. Just a question. What is Tool 9 or Tool 10? Do they exist or are they free for assigning anything on nr9 and 0?

[@tommyaudio]

thanx! i imported the protools shortcuts but the tap tempo (T) STILL doesn't work (because it acts as a zoom when tempo isn't selected. any advice on what to do? brand new to studio one and looking for a tap tempo that isn't on the damn mouse lol

Hold Shift and press + or - on the number pad

half of these keys I don't have on my macbook keyboard lolz

[@bigbullyx9960]

when I press F5...I get the light dimmer. What am I doing wrong?

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

Some laptops will have other function buttons over the F keys. You may be able to change it so that by default the button acts as F5 instead of the light dimmer. Try holding the Fn key and pressing F5 for now. Let me know if it works or not.

This is a great idea! I'm working on a producer challenge series at the moment. I might look to attempt this in the future. Would love to see others try it too.

[@MrSeinfeldFan2]

Hello, I still have not upgrade from STO 3 to 5... don't know if it's worthy for me. So far very impressed by your tutorials... I wonder how a young person like you got to know so much about this software. I am a newbie really, never really experimented much with STO 3. LET ME ASK YOU, ALL I really purchased this s/w was to create BACTRACKING TRACKS, to make my guitar learning less boring. Anyway you can make some videos just doing that? CREATING SOME SIMPLE backing tracks? guitar, drums, bass, maybe more? TIA. EM

[@gogorekviem]

Incredible! Thanks!

[@ArmyGideonTV]

when I press F2, F3, etc the program doesn't respond. However my Mac itself responds. Why is this, how do I fix it?

[@ElectronicMusicSchool]

I'm not sure. I'd suggest contacting PreSonus tech support. They're fairly quick to respond and are really helpful!
