Gregor and Joe represent about 33% of the value of Studio One. The vids, walkthroughs, mix reviews, etc are invaluable. Vielen dank, Herr B!

[@jr_oantonio]

Couldnt agree more!

[@Realliedoe]

I 110% agree! Those dudes are AWESOME!

[@SWATTECHNOLOGIES]

Absolutely. Joe is part of the reason I pull back on over processing and just get good takes. It's good to be reminded of that. Gregor gets straight to it and is concise and clear. Just what I need. Thanks guys. And a German client of mine taught me how to pronounce Gregor's last name!

[@OSdahl]

Gregor is one of the coolest guys i know. He should be cloned!

[@nwcic]

The tuts by Gregor and Joe were one of the key factors that caused me to purchase and switch to Studio One.

[@GivingGodTheGloryG3]

This has to be one of the best videos I've seen explaining these plug ins. I'm thankful I found out about Studio One. It comes with amazing plug ins. I originally started using Studio One because the MPC X is limited to the plug ins you can use. Using the Sound Toy plug ins my MPC software was overworked and would making pops and eventually crash. Since I've started using Studio One I've almost only been just using the stock plug ins. I was originally going to use Pro Tools because I've heard them a lot, but quickly changed my mind when I found out you could only use them as a subscription service. That ended up being a blessing because I love this platform.

[@perrythomasmusic3709]

Gregor, thanks.........Great explanation and I use Fat Channel for so much, especially on my vocals and most of my bass guitar tracks. I have found just about the perfect settings for my particular voice on about 80% of my songs. You and Joe have really helped me over the past year or more with StudioOne Professional.

[@michaeltablet8577]

I like the fat channel because it was named after me. Gregor you are awesome!

[@hsgator7]

I always learn something new with Gregor. His vids will keep me with Sphere forever.

[@zazoomatt]

I be watching You Both Very Very Closely, a BIG HUGE Thank you

[@Ian_KH]

Great information. It really helped me and answered a lot of my questions about mixing in StudioOne. Thank you very much.

[@1shannonleggette]

Great video...you do a wonderful job at explaining things!

[@galvanizingtechniques1111]

Gregor You Are The Man, Plain And Simple Explanation. Thanks!!!.

[@shadowmixx]

Great tutorial Gregor. Cheers

[@joehermanartist]

Great job. It is good that you are repeating the fundamentals.

[@lar57jsy]

Thank you. Yes, very helpful that you went through item by item :-)

[@Citracid]

Indeed as always, stock basic plugins of SO can do mixing jobs done with great results

[@jerialice]

As always, thank you!

[@AndrewGrey22]

Thanks, that was quite helpful.

[@corrindion]

Excellent!

[@musicmakers2198]

Great information

[@kr-cm3hv]

I do like the Fat Channel, and I'm going to employ it on my next recording session after watching this video, however, Presonus really need to add auto gain makeup option to the compressors, at this point in plugin development that should really be a standard feature.

[@hanspeterjorissen9504]

Danke Gregor super Video

[@jesserodriguez9883]

Thank you

[@ericabernathy]

Every time a watch a Gregor video I am instantly reminded how poor my sitting posture is.

[@newkey2daworld865]

Thanks

[@rashedulislam6275]

thanks boss

[@louiewgroenewald]

Good day, Just to confirm, before I go ahead with S1+, It does include everything thing Presonus has to offer regards to their DAW and will get updated as soon as new plugins, loops, presets and sounds come in. appologies this is a silly question. The DAW I use now, or soon to be previous DAW😊 works a bit diffrent regards to updates and newly added content. I've watched now nearly over 100 videos on KZbin to learn S1, think I'm ready to go all in.....😊

[@randomschittz9461]

I feel like we need a separate video about that five gallon water bottle. 😆 Is that kool aid? I want some!

[@presonus]

hahaha! No, just water! Good, old, boring water. :) -GBY

[@TheRealFoxeR]

I think a good addition to the compressor would be the option to make the controls uniform while you toggle between the different models. In other words, being able to use the Tube, FET, etc. with the controls of Standard. It's not the most realistic thing in the world, but I would take function over realism. Also, a switchable analog-style gain reduction meter would be cool in case the bouncing blue ball is distracting to some people (myself included). Yes, this idea is ripped from the Logic Compressor plugin. It's the one thing I missed after switching to S1.

[@marsrivers]

At last!!!!! I use fat channel all the time...more than third party plugins. In fact I use only presonus native and overloud ones

[@DavidGaliel]

Thanks Gregor. You do your best, but please communicate to the company that video "manuals" are no substitute for proper written, searchable, context-sensitive documentation.

[@OlivierMelcher]

Thanks for the video! Will you make the add-ons available to more interfaces, the revelator line-up for instance? Are you adding more add-ons to the Fat Channel over time?

[@jedimindtrix2142]

I am subscribed to slate audios all access pass and I use their virtual mix rack. I actually never messed with the fat channel since I subbed to Slates stuff as soon as I got my sub to Studio One. I may not quit using the Virtual Mix rack from Slate all together but I certainly will give the Fat Channel a try on some of my tracks. Definitely a powerful tool for a built in feature.

[@trmus]

Its is a good idea to use less CPU Hungry effects for instruments and individual tracks and better plugins as VMR in busses and final tracks, stems, bounces etc...

[@jedimindtrix2142]

@@trmus Right. The mix rack from slate is super CPU friendly. I generally will use it on my electronic drum track as I'm recording as it makes it really nice and crisp sounding. For the most part I keep the effects and plugins to a minimum until I'm ready for them. I also make sure to bounce my midi tracks to audio after I finalize the track so as to not have a bunch of midi plugins running as well. I have a pretty decent PC for what I do. Not top shelf but 16GB ram and I5 10th gen. For a laptop its a beast. Gonna put more ram in too.

[@russangel]

Knock me if I'm wrong, I did an experiment with the Fat Channel and matched out a few premium as such plug ins from other companies and I would say 75% of the time you cannot tell any difference whatsoever.

[@GQLewis]

I have a series 3 64s console, but all of the Fat channel plugins do not appear. Could do a video on that? Perhaps I don't have something properly set up at my end. Could we also get the console mixer to recognize the various console plugin add-ons that have been recently added. That would be fantastic.

[@fogvarious2478]

can you or joe do a video on adding presets to mojo.. bought some , and it's a total nightmare to import them vs other vst's i have. cheers.

[@stupendousmusic4190]

👏🏻👏🏻

[@EHall-zj9zy]

Hey Gregor. Any reason why they changed the CB Compressor to the color red. It used to be blue like the CL1B.

[@marsrivers]

Gregro do you know if the analog emulations in studio one produces any kind of harmonic distortion? they are quite good but if they don´t produce any kind of harmonics , the analog experience is not complete. Can anybody tell me if they do?

[@dbstudio6384]

Dommage qu on ne peut pas y mettre des plugin d’autre marque,ça aurait été génial, waves studio rack l’a fais récemment.

[@G-Pulse]

Record stop effect please

[@aahl1680]

Splitter: Is the splitter in freq-mode linear phase??

[@jamesblack7348]

Can’t figure out auto tune on studio one 5..

[@jasonthomas6684]

Gregor just curious…at 3:15 what are the synths shown stacked on the right side of the screen? Thanks great video!

[@RadekPilich]

Oberheim, Dave Smith, Andromeda... I think...

[@MixingInActionStudios]

I will be honest... I haven't messed with Fat Channel as much as I should have. I'm really surprised by it's abilities

[@Artek604]

11:15 great video, but you should've simply rendered the file to another track and then the comparison would be much more obvious

[@davidpickett3546]

Does it come I'm artist version

[@johnsmetzer4263]

Trying to unlink Fat Channel on my tracks. When i adjust one, they all do the same. Can you please help? BTW love your channel!

[@marsrivers]

Please add a new rack to fat channel with the posibility to incloude redlight dist.

[@magdelana3556]

are these plugins mono or stereo or both? how does this work on stereo tracks/busses or in the the project page?

[@presonus]

Hi, all of Studio One's Plug-ins can be Mono, Stereo - or even Surround (up to 7.1.4 / 9.1.6!!). The Plug-in will adapt its output routing automatically to the output configuration of the respective Mixer Channel. Coming from the analog age, this must sound like a fever dream - but it's true! -GBY

[@aidange2]

I like the FET and CLB Tube compressors, but does anyone else find the Tube (LA-2A style one) to be pretty useless?

[@marsrivers]

yes it is...I only uses it on series compressio, like in vocals

[@louiewgroenewald]

Busy switching over to studio one from another DAW which gives me issues regards drop outs and cpu usgae since their last update although my PC specs is more than double they reccomend. Causing me embarissing moments with clients while recording. At the moment I go through all you videos even if they double to learn Studio one. I need to know at the moment if there is any gain reduction meter or indication while using the FAT channel. Using a basic vocal preset with the normal compressor. It sounds like it is working but I would like to see howe much gain reduction there is. When using the basic compressor on its own I can see some gain reduction.

[@louiewgroenewald]

I do not have a meter going down while compressing. Do I need to restart Studio ONe?

[@louiewgroenewald]

No worries, Got it working, As you show in your video. I restarted Studio ONe and had to remove FAT Channel from Insterts and add back again.

[@robertcain3426]

I subscribe to Sphere but I can't access the range of EQ's and Compressors that you show here on the Fat Channel.

[@presonus]

You need to install them. Go to the Studio One Installation in the menu and find Fat Channel collection.

[@robertcain3426]

@@presonus thanks.

[@warlanefam]

One thing I don't understand is the compressor key filter. The manual says it's a high pass filter but to me it sounds like a band pass filter, how come?

[@presonus]

Hi, the key filter is supposed to filter out frequencies that the Compressor should not react to. It's not actually applying the same kind of filter that, say, an Equalizer would. Hope this helps. -GBY

[@warlanefam]

@@presonus what I mean is: on the studio stock (the normal, seperate one, not in fat channel) compressor, the Sidechain filter can be set as high pass, band- or low pass. If I set it to high pass the compressor ignores everything below the cutoff, and if you activate the 'listen' button it also shows this curve in an analyser tool. If however, you do this in fat channel xt it shows a bell curve cutting both low and high frequencies. So I conclude from this, that the compressor reacts to this frequency span and is in fact not a high pass but a band pass. Am I wrong or are the 'listen' buttons just functioning differently on the normal compressor and the fat channel xt?

[@louiewgroenewald]

How do I get Presonus SPhere for all plugins, loops, etc Presonus offer?

7:49 that has to be the most depressing way of explaining a compressor.

Warum muss ich als Deutscher die Untertitelfunktion nutzen, wenn ein Deutscher ein Tutorial Video macht?

[@presonus]

Hi, da ich leider aus zeitlichen Gründen nicht jedes Video zwei mal aufnehmen kann - und wir gleichzeitig die größtmögliche Anzahl an Nutzern erreichen wollen - sind die meisten meiner Videos in englischer Sprache. Ich habe allerdings auch einige Tutorials in deutscher Sprache auf unserem KZbin-Kanal veröffentlicht. Zum Beispiel hier: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnqWp3-Oms6apq8 -GBY
