[@tarkyismailov]

I'm so glad that you made video about Studio One. Can you show your vocal chain ( what plugins you use, their order, setings, etc.), how you set your tracks, buses and sends routings , how you mix and eq your reverbs and delays sends inside S1.

[@TheJasonJoslyn]

Thank You! Exactly the solution I was looking for. Works really well!

it would make so much sense for a bpm detector in s1...

[@sparkauric]

Great video as always Could you do a video on breath reduction in studio one??

[@marmardeath2]

thanks

My pleasure

[@readymadeit5746]

Cmp productions taught me studio one

[@georgedesire1047]

hey Wavy ! :) great method for tempo,but I find it quicker using Melodyne.I have" Melodyne Studio".I'm not sure if the version that comes with Studio One can do it but,it's great to learn another way. Peace Bro! appreciate you.

[@Cooly-D]

After 35 years of Logic I want to switch to Studio One. , Sometimes I have a project and they send me a demo and they want me to remix it. To figure out the tempo of the demo I drag the wave file into Logic Pro.. click analyze and bam.. tempo shows.. Studio One has a big work around to figure out tempo. It's kinda disappointing of Studio One. Logic does it in seconds.. and Studio One makes it kinda complicated. I still hope they figure out the Logic way at Presonus. I saw your video and thought " Wayne found a way!!" But too bad it's still the only way in Studio One.. Melodyne calculates the tempo most of time wrong . For now I only use Logic Pro to find out tempo real quick and then produce in Studio One.. anoying way but I want to find out tempo fast. Love your videos by way. keep it up!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@emmanuelokon3426]

It better than pro tools period

[@LossLeadas]

wayne will be using S1 all the way soon 😁

[@juacenta]

😂😂 Yes thank you for these a great help

[@kcjohnson4178]

Been waiting on a S1 series!! If the producer of the beat is cool they might have saved the tempo to the audio file and you can right click on the beat in session and it'll tell you tempo there otherwise this tap tempo method will help fs fs

[@malapauta]

Aye bro if u click that browse tab that’s in blue in the bottom right u can get rid of that menu and have more space for the video and producing

[@MicahBullis]

how can i add plug ins, for example like autotune, ect. ect. into studio one, could you do a video on that as well? THANK YOU SO MUCH LIFE CHANGER!

[@amrsalahmahmoud3034]

thank you very much for your video, but what you explain here is not happening in Studioone 6,5, why i don't know I am trying to drag in the Temp Bar like you do the tempo bar doesn't slide as i see in your video, did they change anything in Studio one

[@jaybearcat]

Great tips & explanation however I did everything you said in the video...tempo on "don't follow", changed keyboard mapping to protools......but at the 7:20 mark in your video I can't get my bar marker to SLIDE to the transient like yours does....and I hit command..then click...then option. It won't slide.

[@DepressedCapitalist]

Hi! Thanks for the video. I received a song played by a real rock band and I need to create a tempo map (similar to what you can do in pro tools). The problem is the band rushes and drags in different sections of the song. (Sometimes to make it more natural, sometimes because they can't kee up a machine like tempo). Your method doesn't help me, does it? Or am I missing something here? I need to match the tempo in many sections of the song. Any ideas how to do that accurately? Thanks again.

[@joeasybeats2083]

Yo Wavy command M or ctrl m to bring up melodyne it auto detects bpm key chords and its free in Studio One

[@tonypaoletto6631]

What if you have all the stems? I'm assuming its done the same way but applying this to the stem with the most transients which would be the most accurate?

[@smitharthur5300]

What button are you tapping in the tempo.

[@theeugenicsprofessor9212]

Is there a tool to determine time signature

[@misaanofficial]

Thank you! But that is so weird in Studio one. When you click on tempo it changes and replay the sound immediately, so you never can do it accurately. In FL Studio, it gives you the tempo in 2 seconds with 2 clicks. Does anybody know a better and faster way in Studio one?!

[@mgakapobretv4209]

Double vocals pls

[@khuntersr00]

When I add a track in Logic Pro X it automatically detects the tempo. I use both daws, just wish Studio One had this feature.

[@88keyz]

👍🏾

[@TJMonster51]

Followed everything you did, it’s not letting me change the tempo lines

[@marcusthegreat1625]

Make more videos involving stock plug-ins

[@coreytitus9110]

Wayne do you have any tutorials about arranging in studio one???

[@waynewav]

Coming right up.

[@coreytitus9110]

Thanks bruh!!!

[@HardWorkRJ]

I don’t know how old you are but protools is NOT the “original” DAW. Maybe industry accepted but EMAGIC Logic got hella skin in the game 🤷🏽‍♂️. But dude I love your content bro you alright with me

[@stizan9185]

This is kinda sad...I use studio one now but in Fl you can just auto detect the tempo of audio files

[@j.b.ga.k.aj.bostongreen4288]

Hooks on the Fly How Drag the Instrumental

[@claudevera5860]

When you get to the section where you begin to use the 'tap tempo' feature what are you physically tapping to decipher the tempo? I can see your head nodding to the beat but I can't see what your hand is doing. Is it the keyboard, or the mouse, or what? That's where you lost me and I honestly can't figure that part out even after watching multiple times. Please explain. Everything after that section is fairly clear but the nuts and bolts of that tap tempo process is where it gets fuzzy for me. Please and thanks!

[@myleswebb8786]

I was thinking the same thing brah

[@smoovewitit]

Too goofy with the thumbnail😂😂

[@neilsmith5464]

Useful, but if you have S1 you can open the loop with Melodyne and it will detect tempo for you automatically 🤘🤘

[@DepressedCapitalist]

Great tip. What if I have a recorded song (by a real band) with drags and rushes in tempo in different sections? Shoul I those sections in Melodyne? I need to create a perfect tempo map to put midi instruments to the performance. Any tips? Cheers

[@neilsmith5464]

@@DepressedCapitalist yup. Melodyne will let you save a tempo map as a midi file. You can then drag this up to top of S1 (the bit above tracks) which will automatically speed and slow so you are on grid. I’ve used it for mapping an 80s track

[@DepressedCapitalist]

@@neilsmith5464 Great tip again. Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. Will do that right away! Cheers

[@neilsmith5464]

@@DepressedCapitalist no problem. I have done the same in Ableton - but it was a little less straight forward first time thru
