OMG what a gold mine of information! Navigating a project is such a headache sometimes. This video along with your recent video on zooming are gonna save me much time and teeth grinding. Thanks!

[@presonus]

So glad to read that Erskine! Thanks! -GBY

[@shadowmixx]

Great tips Gregor. I could really use a hotkey or shortcut command for the function of 'sending to the back'/'"bring to the front". This would really help when I have a client who copies and pastes their own background vocals multiple times in a song, and then they ALL need cleaning up after I receive the stems. When I clean up the first set and copy 'my' mix to replace theirs; I like to be able to visually align the two versions and toggle back and forth to double check the positioning. An A/B type toggling hotkey would be cool for this.

[@presonus]

Hi Shadow, I believe this can be easily done with our new "Filter Tracks" command...I'll cover this more extensively in my upcoming video next week. Stay tuned! -GBY

Thanx for these Hotkeys tips Gregor. It'll surely speed up my workflow as I do use these functions. And I had no idea about the manual. Every now & then I accidently hit F1 when I'm aiming for F2 for the edit page & I'll hurry up & close the manual. If I wasn't so fast I would've made this discovery on my own. Thanx again buddy.

Wicked Video, very helpful stuff.

[@BNLNRD]

Great video, also touching on a topic I have a bit of an issue with: Mixdown Selection! If you use Reverbs (or anything that produces a tail beyound the event length) it just gets cut off. Is there a workaround except having a muted dummy MIDI- or muted audio-event to extend the length of the mixdown to include tails? I know you can actually enter a decay-value in ms for this when rendering event FX, transforming audio tracks from real time to rendered or instrument tracks to rendered audio, but for some reason not when mixing down the selection. Taking into account a range selection or loop range during the mixdown would also be really helpful!

[@djorig]

Badass!! I will be using these. Thank you 🙏

Gregor do you know how to mix out a song MANUALLY? Where you slide the faders on the Faderport 16 in real time while making a [master].

[@carlosg.bermudo9638]

Hello Gregor! Great video as always. I have a question I hope you may have the chance to answer. How do I research, learn more, about any Shortcut Command listed in the Preference/General/Keyboard Shortcut? Most of them are self explanatory but if I would need to know more about that function, say, "Select all on tracks"... I haven't have much luck with the user manual finding a list of the included shortcuts and an explanation of what they do. Thanks a lot for the support and for the wonderful work you guys are doing with Studio One. I'm in love with it!

[@garyshepherd9226]

Awesome

[@shango7942]

Also, there's a Hotkey to toggle between the Project Page and the Song Page. Excellent when Mastering.

As usual, to the core , more than well done!! Here's a question How can I use a pencil to write a wave for certain audio part in a track To change something in it like pitch or corruption This is an option inside Properllerheads Reason v5 As I recall ,if not inside studio one Can it be done through the integrated Melodyne

[@ryanshupe9531]

Is there a shortcut/hotkey to nudge a slip edit instead of using the mouse/pad?

I love what the guys at @presonousaudio have done ✅, really impressed...really wish they had an easy 808 slide like FL studio where you just click a slide note and it slides it right away and I haven’t seen a loop feature where you select a part of your vocals and it automatically loops it like in protools...other than that @studioone is undeniably a beast

@@presonus Studio One 5 is amazing. I wish I switched to it long time ago. Logic Pro was just too slow for me. Can you please make an in-depth tutorial on how to use drum pattern? Especially, the routing part of it. How to split each individual sample to its own channel. Is there a way to use multiple instances of sample one to create a drum pattern in Studio one like it is it on FL?

[@raphaelgraff-mentzinger8239]

Damn, your Studio One looks so slick, I'm jealous ! Do you use any particular theme or color scheme ? What sorcery do you use to make everything transparent-ish, including the Arranger line ?

[@presonus]

Hi Raph, thanks! Having the events drawn translucent (grid shines through) is an option you'll find in the advanced editing preferences. I've uploaded my Studio One theme to Exchange now. To download, simply open Studio One's Browser, switch to the "Clouds" tab, double click Exchange to log in, and search for "GBY Color Scheme 2020 v2". -GBY

[@ersmith6308]

Hi Gregor, I have a question about the "mixdown selection" function: I didn't know this function and it's very useful for me because many times I find myself with a lot of tracks with a lot going on and my laptop literally can't handle that. Now, I was producing one of my own songs and there's a tempo change from 120 to 130 bpm in the middle of the song. What happens when I mixdown selection (for example in a bass audio track with ampire) is that studio one doesn't care about the tempo change. I checked if there was some kind of timestretch but there wasn't. What can I do? Maybe is a stupid question but I really need it to work! Thank you for your help and all your lessons, you make work easier for all of us!

[@presonus]

Hi Massimiliano, thanks for your kind words! Have you double checked that your audio tracks are set to "Timestretch"? They will only react to the tempo track if they have been set to Timestretch in the Track Inspector. Also, make sure that you have the preference "Record Tempo Automation to Audio Files" enabled. You will find this option under Preferences -> Advanced -> Audio. Have you checked out "Transform Track" in Studio One yet? This might be preferable in your situation, since you only want to mixdown to improve performance from what I understood...if you do that with "Transform Track", then you still have the ability to go back to what you had at any point to make adjustments. "Mixdown Selection" is really more intended for situations in which you want to commit. -GBY

[@ersmith6308]

@@presonus I've just triple checked and tempo was on timestretch in the track inspector... Also, "Record Tempo Automation to Audio Files" was enabled... "Timestretch" is set on "drums", I've tried also "sound" but it doesn't fix the problem :/ Yes, I've been using the "transform track" function for a while but I really do prefer mixdown selections and then disable and hide the "busy" tracks because in that way I don't overload the cpu and I can still copy and paste settings if needed (for the show page for example or to use them in another song) without transforming the tracks every time!

[@ersmith6308]

Ok, I found out that "record tempo automation to audio files" must be disabled in this particular case. Thank you again for your help, I wouldn't be able to figure it out without your comment :)

[@soer4964]

Hi, I'm using 4.6 but automating is still stress since years. Case: track channel on X-Large nearly covers my whole monitor, but the movement capabilities of automation lines are very tiny. Have to be very careful with my mouse not to move too fast or too far. I really hate to work like that. Why is the lowest and highest point anywhere in the middle of my X-Larged window instead of the bottom and the top of the channel borders? I don't get it. Will there ever be a solution for this? Or is there any I'm not aware of yet? If not, I can't understand how you guys can work like that.

[@presonus]

You can use alt/option + arrow up/down to move your selected automation points in +/- 0,6 increments. You can also hold down shift as you drag for finer increments. -GBY

[@soer4964]

@@presonus Thanks for your reply. 👍🏻 I will try it. But IMHO it would be nice to have a large space to see and move the automation points and lines instead of how it is now. I really love Studio One, but this... Please talk to the coders and say hi from a customer. It really needs improvements ASAP. I'm hoping and waiting for years 🙂

@@soer4964 You should try selecting the automation you want to edit, and then trigger the "Zoom Selected Track" key command. Look it up in the Keyboard Shortcut menu, it works a treat. I honestly never run into this issue. -GBY

My most useful keyboard shortcut is to replace Delete with X. I learned this from Blender. It is uncanny how much easier it makes everything when you can keep your left hand from reaching the other side of the keyboard. Just try it, you won't go back. I moved the crossfade to V, it's easy to remember. The next most useful is Select All to A, not control-A or command-A but just A. I would love to be able to bind Enter to the left side of the keyboard too, at this time I have it at an extra button in my mouse. The idea is to have the most used commands nearest to my fingers.

[@caderik1386]

And one thing I'd really like to see, is Gregor work do a whole session - I'm sure he is 10x more productive than the common mortal on Studio One. There are plenty of things I do which do not feel optimal - curious how Gregor handles midi edits, clips, copying notes, audio, audio layers, etc :-)
