[@peytonf7185]

I've watched countless videos on studio one. This guy is by far the best.

[@retrowaweru2180]

Я бы сказал один из лучших!

[@jaustin753]

This guy and also I like David V at home recording made easy are both the best. Thank you guys.

[@barco123456]

This video is just soooo much clearer than the official Presonus tutorials. Well done!!

[@BranZHamZ]

answered a question I was not expecting to find here, how to use my qwerty keyboard as the midi controller. Thank you!

[@Capt-Cran]

Has anyone ever told you that you are great communicator and teacher? ... the content is superb and so helpful ... great channel mate ... great!!

[@xjy79]

You have a great style of teaching. Thank you so much for this video. Studio One has so many features that I was easily overwhelmed. Your video showed me exactly what I needed to get in and make some music. Thanks again.

[@r4ch37d4]

Been trying to hear what I played on my MIDI keyboard for the past 4 hours!!! You just fixed my problem! Thank you so much!

[@rossgidla]

That’s a very good clarification you did there that it only records events not sounds. I was under the apprehension all along that I could plug in the 5 din cable and start playing the keyboard . Thanks.

[@stevegriffiths566]

What an epic video. So chilled and layed back really nails the information. I'm just starting out and and came across this by chance. Really glad I did makes it look easier than I thought 👍👍

[@CreativeSauce]

Thank you! More S1 videos to come :)

[@CharlieBombard]

I've watched two of you're videos so far. You are very informative in a short amount of time and keep it interesting. definitely subscribing. Thank you!

[@kevinwhite9298]

I just got Studio One, and this really helped! New to MIDI and really excited to start learning.

[@creative_expressionproductions]

mike i just keep following you around youtube to all your different tutorials. What a legend you are.

[@MrCarrington2]

I stumbled onto this video; my goodness brother where in the hell have you been all my life?!! I really really learned something today and just couldn't get someone to dumb down so that I could follow you as you went along. I have way too many midi devices and have always felt intimidated b/c I thought it would take some massive amount of time to get down. But in ONE setting? Thank you brother, thank you! Please send more 'moments with you' lol.

[@4stevio]

Great relaxed, but very informative teaching style. I’ve tried a few DAW’s but can’t settle on one, which is obviously important to do if you want to learn it well. I think I may have finally decided to settle on studio One because it has such a clean and clear look to it. These videos are really helping, thank you.

[@cathywilson1273]

@Steve Millward, Hello! Have you decided on a DAW yet?

[@backplomer]

Luv your help mate, as a beginner I really appreciate the time you take to highlight which buttons to choose , thanks again 👍👍

[@timpate7340]

great content ,you realy break stuff down into a easy concept to grasp thank you.

[@markhotton6906]

Mike, you are Awesome! Thanks for this great tutorial. I just went to Studio One thanks to you. Cheers my friend.

[@MrDfrank7]

Great instructive video! Thanks for being a great communicator!

[@YasminMadia]

This is one of the most helpful videos I've seen, Thanks

[@brical1176]

Best tutorial on MIDI I have found. Thank you so much.

[@zacharyardiles267]

Fantastic video, thanks! Just getting started with Studio One and this was really helpful.

[@nyazmustafa8994]

Realy useful is your video.Wonderful explanation very clear and easy to understand your tutorial. Today I learned from you a lot and saved my time to learn by my self

[@Gremsongs]

Great video on Midi basics in S1. Very well explained, to the point. Recommend to all new users of S1

[@allen394]

Thanks for all of your vids, all very informative. With regard to total midi control The Nektar keyboard controllers have a specific patch, this enables total midi control via a Nektar control over Studio One. Stay well.

[@UrsaJeager]

Yo, this subject-focused tutorial is fantastic!!

[@lar57jsy]

Thanks so much. Maybe this video will finally get me started trying midi.

[@iamtheimagedoctor]

Always a pleasure Mike. Thank you! NOTE-I have never seen this information in any manual or video: If you are importing a MIDI file that was recorded on a DAW not using a click (free loose tempo jazz, etc) you must have your DAW set to the same tempo as the DAW it was recorded on even if that tempo has nothing to do with the approximate tempo of the performance.

[@TheNewNuclear]

BY FAR THE BEST I HAVE WATCHED - RECOGNISES THAT THE WATCHER MAY KNOW VERY LITTLE.

[@beposmith6663]

The "New Song" sounds good!!

[@DarrenRoberts123]

Fantastic stuff!!

[@clinkman007]

Sooo helpful! Thoroughly explained, many thanks

[@FrantaFalta]

awesome series, thank you a lot for your help!

[@melvinsimpson1651]

I REALY ENJOYED THIS MIKE THANKS MATE TOP KNOCH 👏

[@lucapouliot3000]

I like how he says if you didn't like this video then hit the dislike button twice. If you hit it once you dislike the video but then if you hit again the dislike is removed and so you are neutral. Well played. But yeah this guy is by far the best in terms of explanation.

[@Bluesguy22]

Fab presenter ... great talent!

[@troublesomecorsair]

Thanks for doing this! Could you demonstrate in a future video recording two midi tracks with two keyboards on different midi channels?

[@tinkerscussmusic]

This video is superb!

[@bassiclogic]

Thanks so much for the video. I did subscribe because of the great video.

[@DorisKrugerArt]

Great tutorial, thank you so much!! When I don't see the instruments and also don't find them for downloading I guess it's because I use the 30 day trial version..? I can see Artist Instruments in Presence. No piano there but I could use other instruments to foloow up. Thanks!

[@skyexu315]

Super clear and logical！！

FANTASTIC TUTORIAL ! Thank you !

[@TheLithGH]

Another great tutorial from the man down unda!!!

[@amilcarevora1930]

Thank you! I just learn a lot in a few minutes.

[@bettyjackson7370]

Velocity is NOT volume :) Velocity, effects volume, but velocity is how hard the the instrument is hit. Normal velocity in your V.S.T. is 100 for each note. Higher numbers hit the note harder and lower numbers hit the note softer. This is important because velocity changes the performance far more than volume. Don't use velocity to control volume. Bad idea. I am not criticising this helpful video, just trying to add to it. Maybe it is covered in another Creative Sauce (love that name) episode.

[@Edward-MTBKR]

Thank you for an outstanding tutorial!

[@sammy11411]

I've had STudio One Artist for 1 week and Cakewalk too. Thanks @Mike for the great series.

[@CreativeSauce]

Thanks Sammy - my pleasure. Good luck in your music making!

[@ziwrenanldino6896]

Love your channel..am wondering if i can play my pads in 226 Akai to play my piano or any keyboard 's VST ? Love and peace ✌️

[@wayneprince]

Hi Mike thank you for your great videos they are very well explained and easy to follow😀. If I may I would like to know why my exported midi files only play back on a single channel on my Korg on which other MIDI files play OK. Seems to be something not right with my studio one technique. Thank you 😀

[@paawanchhabra]

I am grown so much wiser after this video

[@DolbyAtmosMixing]

I’m circling back to StudioOne from Pro Tools and Logic, this helps!

[@CreativeSauce]

Awesome!

[@nigelpickett2471]

Totally new to home recording always used the professionals 'til now. So I just got Studio One with the Presonus USB thing and I've gone cross eyed watching tutorials, I invested in a midi keyboard -- I cannot play keyboard, but this was by far and away the best tutorial I've seen up to now. You have a new subscriber. Thank you. And btw, which one is the undo key?

[@CreativeSauce]

Welcome Nigel! I'm glad it was helpful. Undo is CTRL + z on PC (Command + z on Mac).

[@christinewinchestermusic]

This was so well presented! I learned a lot, but I'm still having quite a lot of difficulty getting my Studio One DAW (Artist) to talk to my midi yamaha keyboard. It used to work, but now it doesn't any more and I don't know what I did differently, except I have a new computer (PC) Also, when I double click in the midi editing window of the midi track, it doesn't place a new note, the way it does for you. Can you recommend anywhere I can turn for troubleshooting these problems or to get some one on one help?? thank you!

[@richardsorba9965]

This video is well done, clear and very interesting. I ested with the keyboard controller and it works fine. Does not work Imitone as a midi device, but maybe the problem comes from Imitone.

[@alright392]

Thank you! You are awesome 👍🏻

[@tysnouffer6906]

Another great vid!

[@ChanokchaiChauychoo]

thanks for great content. clear and neat

[@nyx019]

Great Video! Really helped!

[@CreativeSauce]

Glad it helped!

[@myphonevideos9179]

very good video!

[@hannesmehner5195]

Thank you for teaching!

[@asteinmetz79]

That was a great help. Thanks!

[@dzemoredzeposki8867]

Very useful video...thank you very much

[@mister_matrix]

Loved it

[@CreativeSauce]

Thank you!

[@herrickcello1734]

Thanks for sharing this One. Is there a way that I can step Record in studio One? Because I dont play the piano. Can I input the notes One by One using my RD 800 as my MIDI controlled? Thanks

[@Bashanvibe]

The workflow reminds me of LPX AL & FL

[@857raultoro]

Thanks for this video. Could you shoot another video how to enter notes in Notion? Thanks

[@cannonosentowski9313]

I have an accordion with a midi installed and it’s powerless and I’m wondering if you could show how to set that up because I cannot get my bass to work

[@JohnDeCarteretElvis]

A third way and the fastest and quickest to enter the Edit Window is simply to 'Double Click' on the Midi Clip itself. That opens up the Edit Window and you're immediately ready to go.. Instruments you don't have to drag it all the way across, you can just drop it either on the mixer or the track Window and it will automatically set it up for you as well. The same goes for creating effects to which you're going to use Send. Drag and drop straight onto the mixer and done. NIce clear explanations of how things work, a little slow for my liking, but explained well. thanks.

[@wenshin455]

Great video for a starter like me My Gosh!

[@SUR-9]

I would like to finally find out! How do I still adjust the sensitivity of keys to pressing the MIDI keyboard in the program?

[@sjmaury]

will check later, looks very informative! still wondering if you can send midi from a sequencer vst straight to hardware without recording the midi first, if anyone knows?

[@anthonymarocco955]

Thanks For This Great Video!

[@manusini1]

Hi mike Thank you for your videos. It has really helped me to start up. I am using Korg pa 600 keyboard as midi controller in studio one. However the keyboard keys are not syncing with the virtual instrument keyboards of the DAW. When I press the C1 on my keyboard it produces the sound on the C3 on the virtual instrument. C6 to B6 produces the sounds from C2 to B2 on the VI. C4 to B5 produce no sound. Could you help me to trouble shoot this problem. Is there a way to programme the external keyboards key to the virtual instrument keys in studio one?

[@Donnards]

Thank you!

[@musikone1780]

Great tutorial.

[@olivierchoquet7052]

First a big THANK YOU! Then bouncing on sammy11411's comment: I've the same tools. What about a short video or text about which tool is the best and for what usage? The pro and cons of StudioOne and CakeWalk .... this would be great. Keep on posting anyway :-D.

[@CreativeSauce]

Hi Olivier. I have a little explanation about why I use both on my website here (www.creativesauce.net/why-i-use-cakewalk-and-studio-one/). I'm a little hesitant to compare, as one is free and the other costs several hundreds of dollars. I will say however, that I found going from Cakewalk to S1 fairly painless, having used Cakewalk for 20 years or so. Certainly you should expect that Studio is, and can be used for professional releases, and then again, its quite possible to do that in Cakewalk :)

[@14othniel]

Thank you so much, you really want to get me to learn, but how do I export and save that midi

[@whuataaaaah]

thank you... that helped, Could you do this with a V drums? I can see the device but I dont hear the device and I am experiencing latency. Audio recording goes smoothly tho

[@AbhisekChakravorty]

Hello Mike How are you , I have exactly follewed the steps you suggested its working fine but the problem is no sound comes from first few keys from the midi keyboard , sound comes fine from all the other keys for any midi instument but the first few keys does not play , i am using a 61 key Yamaha PSR e463 digitel keyboard and using its midi feature, sound for any midi instrument comes starting from the F note (key) of the second octave, is theere any fix for this please

[@rezahmguitarist]

Thank you very much 👌🏻

[@uptownphotography]

Great Info and well explained. Somewhat related question please: I imported Midi Files of a song into Studio One 5. Then I assigned instruments from the Studio One Instruments list (located in the browser) to the tracks. When I click Play, the meters are moving for each Midi track, but no audio from my Laptop is playing. It's just dead silent. Speakers are on, nothing muted etc, but no sound. Would you have a video on this subject or can you offer any advice as to what is not set correctly. Thanks. Phil NYC Area

[@manmohandubey8125]

I have a little question. If I use an amp sim on my audio track, how do I get it to read midi signals I send it through my pedal so I can control parameters like wah and stomps?

[@frankbakker8979]

Thanks a lot!

[@sylvietara3318]

Such a tutorial...Thanks a lot

[@kingwow705]

Cool! Downloaded))

[@DJSmad82]

Thanks very helpful 👍🏻

[@lindsaykrejci2022]

How do you change the MIDI patching? On my Yamaha DTXplorer drum kit, the kick needs to be patched differently to sound correct

[@user-fy9vn7of5b]

How i add in midi track without delete another for example i play some kick then i want to play hihat in same track and same possession without deleting kick ?

[@dhman422]

Question: are there videos that discuss recording midi and playing back from external keyboards and synths?

[@MikesMusicMethod]

I'm using a Mininova and I get the original sound from the synth playing through studio one along with the midi effect! It's time delayed and makes it impossible to record along with! How do I disable the native sound coming from the keyboard. I literally mute every track, even the master track and I can still hear it. Thanks!!

[@locutusmdv]

Thanks!!

[@dapdirect]

what shortcut key in Studio One will relay midi keystrokes into studio one if you didnt record the midi at first?

[@trihorn23]

Hi Mike, I'm Jan and I hope you're well 😁. Love your down to earth vids on home studio recording. I stepped into DAW style recording with your cakewalk vids But switched to presonus as a result of getting the artist version with my interface. Love studio one (had to upgrade to pro for the vst support I collected while using cakewalk) so I'm grateful that your tutorials have moved to studio one as well. Hope youll come round to an in depth piece of the chord track and the cord selector interface and all it can do. Ive done Everything you asked for: subscribed, rang the Bell and disliked twice 😉👌. Greetz, Jan from Holland

[@CreativeSauce]

Hi Jan, thank you! Yes, an episode on the chord track is a great idea thanks :)

[@Banzurit]

Thank you

[@giuseppebergamasco7198]

Ciao Mike, grazie per i tuoi suggerimenti e del tuo unico modo di insegnare. Avrei una domanda: a volte mi capita di lavorare su files midi importati e finiti. Nelle varie tracce capita di avere una raffica di controlli inseriti all'inizio nelle prime misure come volume, program change, effect send ecc. Come posso eliminare tutti i controlli in un colpo magari con un macro??? Esiste in Studio One 5 un macro con questa funzione? Ti ringrazio di cuore e auguro all the best!

[@ronnyb5890]

hi Mike, have i got a question for you :-) its about the velocity curve of a midi keyboard,i have the beautiful sounding lap steel guitar from indiginus,this instrument uses velocity mapping to swich between 3 different articulations without using keyswitches,my Roland A-49 keyboard has different fixed velocity curves,i tried every one,but only seem to get 80% max velocity,in fl studio i have set another velocity curve manually,this solved the problem,but i cant seem to find a changeable velocity curve in studio one,or did i mis it?,cheers m8

[@xtadeus4777]

I have a problem. I saw notes on the piano grid before when zooming with the mouse but I cannot see the notre anymore in the grid. How to reactivate that ? I see the notes on the piano left side, I see notes on the note if I go on it with the mouse but the note itself is not written on them automatically, giving clear info of what piano note is in the grid !

[@timmusic7674]

Got a question if you select an instrument but dont use it how do you remove it from the track?

[@djmikesea]

how do i assign individual midi channels to each vsti instrument ? right now i have 4 tracks, a different instrument on each track, but when i go to play parts on track 4 i can hear the other instruments being triggered also. how do i get it to play/record only that particular track/instrument without it triggering all the other vsti's ? many thanks !

[@kimwestwood8840]

I just bought a Native Instrument acoustic plug in . I dont use a keyboard. I am using Studio One 4 so would I need to use the midi monitor to move the patterns from the software INTO a track?

[@jacohovius3995]

Hey Mike. Can you also make a duplicaten of that trake. So you here the same melody but different instrument,s as you show.
