How to Mix in

[@rosanoor]

I have never seen such a practical DAW like Studio One

[@midnightwind8067]

Honestly , it is a lot like Sonar Platinum was. I see a few new things. But it almost looks like a replacement since Gibson killed the real Sonar. I am very torn between this and Cubase

[@wooby6797]

I love having in-depth videos like this. They are super helpful, and I don't need to pay for a special course just to learn how to use the DAW. BTW, Studio One is may appear simple on the surface, but it has layers of complexity. Yet, it never feels cumbersome or daunting. It is extremely user-friendly, and that is what won me over beyond any other DAW. I particularly love the drag-n-drop automated features built in to Studio One like some of the stuff you outlined in this video. More please! Keep it up. Thank you.

[@Studio_940]

The gain knob is a much needed addition, I think every DAW should have it. I've learned some things today ,Thanks Joe!

[@dapdrums]

After countless video on Studio One - as I try and become a "proficient hobbyist" - I was about throw in the towel! But, I just found your video and feel like I can have fun, be productive and learn as I go. Simply outstanding. Thank you and SUBSCRIBED.

[@presonus]

Glad to hear it! - Joe Gilder

[@carlholz8282]

This video was amazing! As a remote session drummer, a lot of times clients just want stems, but I always send them a rough mix first, and the whole mixing top down from the drum bus has been eye opening to say the least! And, the parallel compression of the whole kit at once instead of by each track was the icing on the cake! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Joe!

[@bluestringmusic]

Very cool. You and Gregor do a great job with these Studio One videos.

[@presonus]

Thanks! - Joe Gilder

[@johnmbingham]

As I am just starting to work with Studio One, your tutorials are a HUGE help! Thank you!

[@michaeltablet8577]

Just like Joe. Studio One is Awesome! I found your old videos when I was looking for a daw. So glad I did and I bought Studio One and have been having a great time recording ever since. Thank you Joe and Studio One!

[@georgeg4136]

I have been a Cubase user for almost 30 years, from ATARI times.... What you described in the video and much more is the reason I moved to Studio One. Nice video !

[@chingo_mandinguez]

Great video! I love my Studio One 4 Pro setup more with each video I watch! I went from frustrated to inspired in a couple of weeks - you guys are awesome!

[@andremccoy3954]

WOW!I think you've seen that all of these great functions have overwhelmed us in trying to find them.Well I'm speaking for myself literallyYou have basically centralized all of the hard to find info located in the documentation into one go-to tutorial.That's a game changer!I am so damn tired of reading man that I just try to figure things out on my own.I have lost years of work because of it.t was like you were reading my mind when you made this.Whether that be the case or not, I really appreciate this one Joe.HEY JOE?"You B Da Man Bro!"Greeting from Germany!Andre D. McCoy aka Famous Dwayne!Ex radio announcer and ex military intelligence(Gulf War 1)We are only as smart as the ones we learn from.I'm sold!And thank you so much for your time and patience with us!Happy to be a part of the group!

[@presonus]

Glad to hear it, Andre! - Joe Gilder

[@ricrandmfx]

Joe, this video series is a huge help for someone like myself. I dabbled in mixing a number of years ago & just getting back into it & new to Studio One (v 6). I am learning a lot of helpful info. Thank you!

[@beatweezl]

OMG I was pretty comfortable mixing in S1 and didn't think I really needed to watch this but I learned A LOT of stuff!! Awesome~!!! And you read my future mind while recording this. I was going to ask you to do a video explaining more detail about the different types of mix meters but you covered that quite clearly thank you Joe!!

[@markallen5839]

Another super helpful video. I am now a convert from Logic Pro X to Studio One 5 Professional and loving it so far. Thanks Joe.

[@Kimosabhi]

Just switched to S1 Pro from Logic after 5 years and these new videos you're putting out are helping a lot. Thanks!

[@presonus]

Good to hear! - Joe Gilder

[@abj358]

I've been doing parallel the hard way. Thanks for the reminder about the splitter. Knew it was there, just forget to use it. Cool! Also, thanks for showing how to set up the gigantulous level meter. Going straight onto my current mix. Joe, you're the best, man!

[@presonus]

So funny, I had forgotten I had that huge meter, and everybody was screaming at me HOW DID YOU MAKE THAT BIG METER!!! 😂 - Joe Gilder

[@johnriggi3637]

Anything you can offer regarding common mistakes would be most welcome. Series of videos? Absolutely! Keep up the great work!!

[@davidcamarda8723]

Recently switched from Pro Tools. Your and Gregors vids are literally nails in the Pro Tools coffin for me. Great instructional vids on this amazing state of the art daw.

[@GetSongsDone]

I learned on Protools, and it's just not efficient :(

[@curtisreid9100]

Wow! By the 2:27 mark this gentleman nailed what I was looking for! He also shows some great mixing tips and how easy it's gonna be! Like Parallel Compression - that used to take me 20 minutes just to set up my gear! Now it's just a drag and drop and the Q split feature....OMG (w/ davey504 accent) .................5 STARS easy. Thank you Sir Joe Gilder

[@causeno1048]

I totally forgot about the in-track multi routing! Wow now I remember that's one of the features that got me to buy Studio One in the first place.. Was so eaten up with all the rest of sound design, music theory, arrangement. Man I sound like an evangelist, but I *love* this DAW. It keeps surprising me positively again and again.

[@davidblickstein]

“Red light DISTRICT?” (At 11:15 ). Now THAT sounds like an interesting plugin. :-). (It’s “Red Light Distortion”).

[@danarcarihomes]

You have become my favourite recording KZbin dude. Thanks for the killer videos.

[@presonus]

Aw shucks, thanks! - Joe Gilder

[@ricrocren]

Excellent video Joe. Not too long, right to the point, great tips and how-to's. Thanks so much!

[@ralphjamesmaier]

Hey, Joe, "good to see ya!" Thanks for these videos. You're a wealth of information delivered in a pragmatic, no nonsense sort of way that is clear, easy to understand, and incredibly useful. I'm enjoying getting acquainted with Studio One and considering upgrading from the Artist version to Pro in large part due to your videos - it would be great to see more info on exploring the full potential of the the Project page (in addition to what you've already done). Thanks, man!

[@cmdkaboom]

A companies worth is measured by the people it employees. The value of PreSonus has gone up in my humble opinion with the addition of you and mcgregor. Keep up the great work.

[@MagicJonesMusic]

Wow... Been using S1 for 3 years now and I've never really understood what the track splitter was. You helped me understand that (one) use for it is as its own parallel processor (and more, it seems).... Gonna dig in deeper now. Thank you!

[@presonus]

It is so so so so so so handy. - Joe Gilder

[@jeffersononetwo]

Man Joe, you are a huge help. I'm a newbie coming from 10 years of Reaper

[@thomfisher4926]

Been using S1 4 Pro for over a year now and just learnt sooo much stuff I didnt known this video. Top content and just made my workflow so much quicker thanks!

[@vocalpoweruk]

Awesome set of tutorials by Joe and Greg or literally helped me make the switch to S1

[@presonus]

So awesome to read!! Thanks so much for letting us know. :) -GBY

[@bkeith616]

Thanks, Joe (and Marcus), for your super clear, how-to-get-'er-done videos.

[@therealmattmann]

Joe! Awesome vidéo as always! I always forget about the channel splits for doing parallel processing. Thanks for the reminder! I hope you and the family are safe and healthy out there in NashVegas!

[@joshuasandoval5261]

I love studio one since i tryed it for the first time. And every day you keep using it it just gets beter. Im runing the artist version, would love if the proyect/mastering side of the program was available as an add on, v.s. the full upgrade.

[@presonus]

Save up. Pro is totally worth the money. Get one paid mastering gig, and you've paid for it. - Joe Gilder

[@paulx2117]

Great videos Joe, thanks! Finally mixed my first solid song from start to finish, very helpful!

[@briankingart]

A great overview (with lots of cool hints). Succinct, clear, comprehensive. Very Good! TYVM Joe!

[@presonus]

You're welcome, Brian. - Joe Gilder

[@Warhorse1UK]

Really great stuff. Love the parallel processing with the routing button stuff

[@cmdkaboom]

Just switched from cubase and Nuendo to studio one. You made me buy a Studio Live 32s. Now I really have to learn this stuff

[@katstark_]

hey Joe, nice to see you. solid vid as always.

[@robertbentley4635]

Hello Joe. Brand new to Presonus and Studio One. Really appreciate and enjoy your S1 series. Very informative. Thank you!

[@ZaryaMain]

Joe, please ask them to make a shortcut key for the "zero latency monitoring" options. It's annoying to have to always mouse over to flip it on and off.

[@ZaryaMain]

Thumb tack button just changed the game.

[@HomeStudioCorner]

GREAT idea

[@presonus]

Submitted to our software team. - Joe Gilder

[@JanEkbom]

I'm a new S1-user and this video was really helpful.

[@EdwinPinaSalsero]

Just purchased the software and can't wait to use it. Your knowledge is very helpful.

[@TimmSpinn]

Hey Joe, most people use a 2-bus/mixbus channel before the Main out and do all the main bus processing there, with the individual buses going to that. The Main is then reserved for utility type plugs (meters, calibration, referencing, etc). But then I most often see the FX sends routed directly to the Main Out. Wouldn't you want your FX channels to also hit the 2-bus comps/EQ for control/cohesion/glue etc.In tutorials with the pros (including you), I always see the FX going straight to the Main out. Why is that?

[@presonus]

The Main Out IS the mix bus. There's no need for an extra bus in between. Everything is getting routed through that final stereo bus on the far right named Main Out. So I'm getting all the 2-bus goodness you're talking about without having to do an extra step. - Joe Gilder

[@TimmSpinn]

@@presonus I guess it wasn't a question of why you, personally, do it, but why a majority of other pros don't bus process their sends. I suppose I'm asking the wrong person, but it's in line with this video's subject. The biggies for using a mixbus channel are 1. Using a reference plugin like Sample Magic AB. Don't want to bus process your ref tracks. 2. A place for plugs like Sonarworks, metering, Audient MixChecker, etc. 3. In S1, there is a MixFX limit of 1 on the Main Out. I use both CTC-1 and Softube Tape via MixFX, so I need a 2nd main bus to run both of those. Anyway... Love your videos! And you have a great voice too, BTW!

[@chrism1703]

Hey! Very useful I've been mixing with studio one for years and I still learned a couple of new things from this video. When it comes to plugin selecting or plugin dragging, I don't even use my mouse anymore to select any of my most used plugins cause I use macros. It would've been very handy to be mentioned on the video too cause it changed my life. Once I setup my macros now if I wanna open a EQ on a channel I just hit 'shit + command + E' and a new Pro-Q3 comes out, 'shit + command + S and a Saturn' comes out. All my most used plugins at one hit of my left hand and it made me save hours.

[@javimartin_drum]

my favorite video from you Joe!

[@ammarbolukbasi4058]

hey Joe good to see ya ;3

Hey Joe! You're a great tutor! I found your videos really helpful ! Greetings from Poland, Europe

[@Therealtonihickman]

I am an extremely new beginner to Studio one and mixing as a whole, but this helps some, thank you.

[@matthewtrueax108]

your the Man Joe Ive learned a lot from your videos Keep them coming -MadMat-

[@didgeman]

Thanks. I learned a lot. I'd already spent half a day trying to figure out something at the top of each channel that I had not seen before and wondered what it was. I got real confused. But then you explained the "Audio Device Controls" setting and it became crystal clear. And a question about how to "clear" or reset the settings which Studio One sends to the StudioLive series 3 mixer for the Fat channel. It kept changing the mixers settings and then I'd have to reset them manually; which took a while. There's got to be an easier way to handle that. Thx.

[@rockysmith2168]

Thank you so much Joe! Your videos are so well done, and very helpful!

[@robmcnally6716]

Cheers Joe! Just starting out with mixing in S1, really helped

[@mendraf1]

Every day thinking to try studio one .. I will try for real now .. thanks for all the info!

[@photophilous]

Hi Joe! Its great to see you're with Presonus! Very cool! Faderport 8/16 and Studio One are on my radar!

[@ELLA-cz2mu]

Hi! There are no subtitles. Is it possible to make subtitles in a video? Since spoken English is very difficult to understand, and subtitles can be translated into any language and this made it easier to understand the meaning.

[@presonus]

We'll look into it. - Joe Gilder

[@ELLA-cz2mu]

@@presonus It is very good! I'm really looking forward to!

Thank you Greg. Cool stuff as always. Blessings

[@enf.o.i.3382]

Fantastic as always!

[@alexkuple]

Thanks Joe, now I understand more about Studio One mixing

[@Bezowinz]

I wish S1 would make some known workarounds actual features. That large meter would make for a cool, official addition. And take a cue from its cousin DAW and add lufs and any other missing metering scale. I'm feeling a way after watching a similar "mixing in Cubase" vid. Impressive!

[@presonus]

Yeah the meter thing is really fun. And it kind of already IS a feature right? Resizable meter plugin. What a cool feature. Now you know about it. 😊 - Joe Gilder

[@Bezowinz]

PreSonus Audio Electronics 😂 OK, it's a feature. Just not as convenient or as feature rich as the competition's. And yes, I'm glad you showed it.

[@pasisalli1116]

Hey and thanks alot from this great tutorial.. I have been using S1 for many years but still u did show me cool new tips that i wasnt aware.. keep these coming

[@mark66923]

Hi Joe and Gregor! Thanks so much for all the info. You guys are great! Wondering if you could cover a couple of things: Effects chain to use on the Main out channel when the mix is a single and not going into a project, and when it is! Also, East West has come out with Spaces II. Could you cover The proper FX/Bus chains for creating a surround effect for multiple input channels? I've set it up a couple of ways, but don't completely understand the FX channel vs the Bus channel vs AUX channel. Also, should I create separate mix-downs for stereo and surround? Thanks a million!

[@towerpower5108]

Cool. I have never used Studio One before. Looking forward to your videos for help. I've always used Cakewalk.

[@ArthurKlisiewicz]

I just installed a DEMO. For the most part I am quite impressed with what Personus have done. They did in a short time what STAINBERG had to do in so many years. I personally come from Ableton products and still one the fence if I want to get SO license. Is it possible to change specific colors or apply skins ? I watch this video and I really have problem reading the fonts. I also wish there is a much bigger selection of colors. This looks really poor since on average the operating system can use palette of several millions, why have so few colors (and they are so ugly) ? I wish there is a simple tool to create custom colors and set up own palette and be able to select from at least 128 or more. Lots of GUI have this (stupid) trend of using gray fonts on dark gray background and this makes things really hard to read. More contrast would really help.

[@GuitarAcademia]

Daer Joe, super cool video, thank you. The splitter tool looks like a real game changer for me. Great to place a compressor via splitter for parallel compression at the exact place in the effect chain... Thank you. Discovering more and more in Studio One... what a journey :-)

Hello my friend, Mr. Joe Gelder, thank you very much for your great and wonderful effort in explaining the Studio One Professional program through many videos on your channel. I follow you from Bahrain. My name is Khaled Khalifa and I benefit from the definition and useful information you provide, but there are some episodes that do not have English subtitles printed on the video of the episode, as this helps a lot in translating the explanation into Arabic, so please kindly upload the translation in English to the rest of the videos, such as this important video, which has no subtitles. Thank you very much and best regards.

Hey Joe really getting alot out of your videos I am totally new to home recording and there is alot of info but I think I'm getting there slowly.
