[@Ilariyastorm]

Awesome tutorial! I am totally new to DAWs. It's suuuper clearly explained! HUGE THAANK YOU

[@johnstephen7610]

Does the more in=depth video that you mentioned, show how to record stuff with StudioOne? I can't even figure out how to record myself. The online documentation provided by PreSonus is difficult for me to understand.

[@petertasker1540]

Brilliant, thank you. Great to have you back.

[@elmolewis9123]

Excellent video - covered the majority of the functions needed to get started with great examples.

[@brucearcher8872]

Thank you very much. I learned a lot from this video. Your presentation is a good pace for me. You present a lot in a short amount of time.

[@Breakbeats92.5]

Just helped my buddy get this up and running. Plugged in his 42 year old bass guitar into the interface, armed it for record and he began playing. Even on the built in Mac speakers, the tone was bright, crisp and responsive. We started fiddling with the effects pedals and my jaw hit the floor. If you play an instrument and want to record on your computer, this is is the DAW for you. I've used Ableton and Pro Tools for years and would gladly give up those DAW's for this. It's awesome.

[@furryz666]

Well thanks for the memories and good luck

[@guyafk7710]

It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.

[@mesirionyeemmanuel2842]

[@AIRx77]

Amazing tutorial. Love it.

[@jerrydouglas4583]

This was a very informative video! Thanks for making it for us. It has been very helpful. Thank you.

[@quantaaudio]

Hey, glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@willshea6311]

This was good, thank you! Assuming studio one 4 is similar to 5 this has helped me make up my mind about getting this program. I’m currently using Logic Pro X and this seems very similar so I might like it.

[@michaelhazell9170]

This video is very helpful, finaly found someone who has the same version as i do. Thank you!

[@roblepper8418]

Studio One is a nice daw. I've been using artist 3 for awhile. I'm now using 4 pro demo and really like it. I also own the faderport 8 which controls everything in studio one. Presonus has some nice studio additions.

[@lreedshukla4260]

Hello! What an excellent channel you have, Quanta! Thank you so much. 🙏 Your informative vids are done clearly and your voice is so smooth and easy to listen to! Thank you, from someone just starting out in music production, and using Studio One 4 because our professor loves it! lol 😁👍 cheers!

[@quantaaudio]

I sincerely appreciate it, FPS. Glad that you are finding the tutorials helpful and I appreciate you taking a moment to send a positive message. Hoping to get some more content uploaded, soon!

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

Quanta Great Video! Do you find yourself spending more time in Studio One 4 vs Reason these days?

[@quantaaudio]

@@WyattLite-n-inn I thought I had responded to your comment, Charles. My bad. Yeah, I'm definitely spending nearly all of my time in Studio One these days. Are you a Reason guy?

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

Quanta Actually I’m all iOS right now but occasionally think about going Studio One . I was was wondering since I’ve seen you do the Reason videos also. Great work.

[@TheReedEffect]

[@furryz666]

Just subscribed!! coming from 15 years of pro tools (not giving it up of course I know it so well but presonus has some cool ideas, macros and custom keyboard shortcuts for example) , thanks for the detailed explanation of every control, I see you have many Studio One 3 tutorials do you think they translate to Studio One 4.1.1 generally speaking? Thanks for your time

[@ojk3863]

Thanks for teaching me. I have learned more from you. And I'm new subscriber of you |

[@quantaaudio]

Cool, glad to hear. Thanks for supporting the channel!

[@SuperGameMaker]

Awesome tour of the ui, just what I needed. At the end of the video you said you offered 1-1 training though zoom, but didn't post the info on the description. I might be interested, what are the details?

[@quantaaudio]

Aaron, thanks for the inquiry and sorry for the delayed response! As for the training it is $25/hour and I send you a link to join a virtual meeting room (using Zoom) and I can then see your screen/studio one and you can even share control of S1 so that I can guide you through whatever it is you'd like to learn. It is available from 8am - 8pm EST, any day of the week!

[@tessakutesa3257]

I'm probably gonna get Studio One 4 Artist soon and I hope to make amazing music. Thanks for the tutorial on how to use this awesome DAW

[@quantaaudio]

No problem, thanks for watching.

[@johne1599]

Studio One Artist comes with Presonus hardware FREE. I recommend buying the AudioBox 96 and you'll get Studio One Artist with it, plus you'll have an interface to get started recording. Cost $99.

[@AdrianKoni]

Great work.

No problem, glad the tut was useful.

[@qasion]

Hello, something strange is happening, when I create 2 tracks, with same plugin, the sound patch which I choose on track 1 will also be on track 2, as if I can't separate them? I continued, recorded a short piece on track one, hit the play button, both tracks played the same piece although the second track looks empty????

[@fileptorlao7165]

Very helpful nice tutorial......

[@justmusicacademy4467]

Great video, very informative!

[@quantaaudio]

Appreciate it, thanks for watching.

[@Williecrts]

Does studio one have dedicated pre fader metering option yet or is everyone using the vu meter still?

[@furryz666]

Hey Quanta, no pressure but looking forward to your 4.5 vids I prefer your tutorials since you go into such detail, thanks

[@quantaaudio]

Hey, appreciate the support, Furryz. Think I may be retired from the tutorial game, however.

[@rhysrowlands2888]

When I add multiple tracks with my midi device, it doesn't let me have a different instrument for each track. It's like my midi device can only be one instrument. If anyone can reply, it would be a great help. Thanks

[@galvanizingtechniques1111]

Hey quanta! first I wanna say thanks for all you do with these videos!!. I have a question?, I somewhat new to recording, I created a track I have a loop in the beginning 8 bars and as soon as the drums are supposed to drop the fader automatically turns the drums down I, am using the latest version studio one pro 5.1 could you please explain why that happens I would really appreciate your reply!.

[@Russia1983]

Thank you very much!!!

[@quantaaudio]

Hey, no problem, Lidiya. Thanks for watching!

[@beatmakervoxmixer.8619]

Good lesson my brother!!!

[@quantaaudio]

Glad you found it helpful and thanks for watching!

[@jaykingston2171]

Just wow!! I've switched from FL Studio too studio one last night and this video makes it look very easy!! I have one concern though - a big one. How do I automate every button like I could on FL please because automation plays a huge part in my sound design process. I really hope there's a work around mate.

[@blunderspublik]

Hey I think he addresses this around 12:05, where he shows how to add automation tabs in the sequencer window. It looks like you can right click on the VST's "knobs" and edit the automation envelopes like in FL Studio too...but i'm new to Studio One too.

[@gleneckert1]

Wow, my first daw....I just want my kid to lay down layered key board tracks with some vocals. With this daw I’m like a full blown Rick Rueben. I like your straight smooth business approach. Thank you

[@quantaaudio]

Haha, thanks for the message man. Glad you're finding the tutorials helpful and thanks for supporting the channel!

[@livesportsdmo4204]

thanks so much man

[@gilsonrachinhas6665]

Thanks so much

[@nathanguitar4246]

when I duplicate a measure of midi (using shift+D) I can't then edit the notes separately. When I click on one kick sound it highlights the rest from the other measures. Online, people said I have to bounce the duplicated measures to edit them separately. Is this true? I could just manually copy and paste or highlight and hold alt and drag but this is annoying. Any insight?

[@darrylharris2842]

Thank you for your video. Could you please answer this question, every time I drag a synth loop in, the original sound changes. It sounds like jiberish . i tried converting to audio and still did not work. Now, I have to listen to the music loop and can't drag it in. I know there are audio and midi loops and it has to be converted some way but I'm at a stand still and can't finish my track. Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong. Thank you.

[@jamsight8231]

Thank you!!!! I just made the switch from FL studio over to Studio One. This video helped me get started.

[@quantaaudio]

Sweet, glad you found the video helpful!

[@dominikagibalova6356]

Great! Thank you

[@quantaaudio]

For sure. Glad you found it helpful.

[@rogerjones4710]

Quanta...so I accidentally clicked "upload files to cloud" on my new laptop and it instantly started backing up all existing files on my lap top to the cloud...welp..I only use this laptop for my studio software...now when I start Studio One, I have projects that are missing sounds and have somehow lost Sample XT, part of the default sound files that came with Pressence, and a few other pre-loaded sample files that came with the software download. Is there a way I can sort of "RESET" Studio one to its previous state? (cant find my missing stuff in the cloud either)

[@kieseldjent3277]

Hey! Thanks for the guide. I have one question about arranger - when i record the guitar, the colour of recorded track is totally not transparent and i cant compare my transients with tempo grid. I didnt find settings to make it more transparent, because it is very helpfull. Maybe you can advice me how to do it?

[@quantaaudio]

No1son, there isn't a setting that I'm aware of that will allow you to make the audio event transparent. You could always use the dashes in the ruler at the top of the arrange view as a guide, however.

[@lusaadyofficial]

How would you record audio on Studio One 4 Prime? I'm using Windows Audio and every time I press record on the track, my computer mic doesn't pick up the sound and doesn't actually record on the screen. It's really frustrating.

[@WaterRiceEntertainment]

It is hard, i go the first part than 5 minute later I don't know what is what! Thank you

[@Billy.hoodoo]

Thank you

[@64bitblic]

your plosives startle me every time. but good vid :)

[@aadityakoirala925]

Could you please help there is instrument sound problem in my studio one prime

[@SjaakShirly6559]

Great video. May I ask a question? I have a Focusrite 8i6 3gen sound card. What are the songsettings for this sound card in Studio 1? (48k, 41,1k) Thanks in advance.

[@quantaaudio]

You can set it to be whatever you'd like to use. Higher sample rates will increase your audio file size and processor use, however. 44.1 is CD quality, thought most home producers will use 48kHz. Major studios typically use 96 and above. There's a lot of debate about which to use, so, I'd just research a bit so you can decide. I tend to use 48 for my music...

[@cherrycallao8627]

Please make a video of how to do noise reduction. And the best option for vocal effects!! Pleaseeeee 😊

[@quantaaudio]

Hey, Chezza. Thanks for the message, however, these are not topics I"m not too familiar with so I hope you've found some alternate videos to guide you!

[@erockmuzic5070]

Thx you just mad me Rich$$$$$$

[@wallygroove6863]

having major problems using my Zoom R24 as a controller. I know i'm supposed to use Mackie emulation but I'm baffled. Help please!

[@fiscaldisco5234]

I am considering Studio one with my Zoom R16. What problems do you have with it?

[@e.p.gregory198]

This was helpful for a description of the available functions, however; as a new owner/user of the program, I was hoping to see a step by step application of the program. In other words a "how to" lay down the individual tracks starting with the drums, adding base, guitar, keys, vocals etc. I have found that the feature nuances can be learned and utilized as the user becomes familiar. As a songwriter; I just want to get to work setting up the rhythm track, instruments and vocals...blah... In any case; this was really good technical info.

[@quantaaudio]

I would explore my channel homepage a bit more. I've got all of that covered... For instance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIKaXmhoid5paqM

[@tyronedixon4443]

I have been using Cakewalk by Bandlab for about 5 months now. (Free daw) I'm thinking about getting S1 tomorrow. I will definitely need 1 on 1 training. Is S1 good for making beats? I recently purchased FL Studio 20 and trying to figure it out as well. Also, should I get S1 Artist or Pro?? Thanks

[@quantaaudio]

Solo, I personally think Studio One is great for making beats, but, it's workflow just fits my needs and that's a very personal thing. I know a lot of people do use FL for making beats, maybe you're just not happy with it so far? Either way, most DAWs are going to enable you to lay down beats, it's just finding the one that you feel the most comfortable with. Most of the DAWs out there have free trials. I'd recommend downloading the trial version of Studio One and seeing how you feel about it first. I'd recommend the professional version if you're planning on really getting into music production. Otherwise, for hobby, etc. , the artist version would be fine. Just let me know if you end up purchasing S1 and would like one-on-one training! Good luck!
