Lukas's 5 Favorite Features in Studio One Pro 7.0

[@threatnique]

incredible update and daw ! thanks to all involved !!

[@raman_korshun]

Thank you very much for reviewing these not obvious but very useful new features!

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

For me personally, this is a great update.

[@samshephard7164]

For me too. I was still using Studio One 5 Artist and the 149 euros for the update are fantastic for me. But I can understand why old Studio One Pro owners don't think it's that nice. They paid 500 euros and probably updated to the new version every 2-3 years. I think this is fantastic for newcomers to Studio One.

[@LaurinaHawks]

@@samshephard7164 When you have a general price of 200 EUR for a new version, an upgrade price of 149 is much.

[@albertoflacoa]

Omg! They listen to auditory and make useful improvements. Incredible for our time☺️

[@StewLindenberger]

Thank You. I asked support today how I could create a custom scale, and they said: "As far as we are aware, that list of scales cannot be edited." I'm glad you demonstrated that new feature!

[@studioonetutorials]

@@StewLindenberger Yes, support was right! It was not possible in previous versions.

[@mikeciresi3697]

Support hasn't been so great so far, obviously I won't names but it was pretty rude.

[@AdamGoodlet]

Great video - and yay, custom scales in Harmony Wizard! I'll be purchasing that soon as a result. Many thanks for your work!

[@panagope]

After working for 8 hours with the new Studio One Pro 7, (compared with the Studio One 6.4), i can say that by far the BIGGEST improvement, is the ergonomics and visibility ! HUGE difference, to help you see the various "events", and manipulate and arrange them much more easily. Even in the smallest view ( all view window) you can see and move events 500% more easily. So arrangement and composition is much more easy. Also , for those that they have and use splice , its much easier to incorporate a sample in your song. I have tried the rest of the features (global transport , launcher , impact edit view, tempo detection & stem separation) and i can say that although they are very useful , someone will use them from time to time and not always. From the above i found more useful the Impact edit view, which lets you put the kicks, snares, much more easily.

[@InLightTone]

Great, very excited about this!

[@distantsunrising]

⭐️THANK YOU for this video. I am truly grateful for you. Grand Success and Lasting Peace to you Sir. Love is All from Texas

[@jarone9317]

Yes thank you for the Tutoria,l and i highly recomend Harmony Wizard its alot of fun and easy to use. One thing I would like in studio 1 is to be able to Reverse Volume and Pan Nobs to use with XY pads and XFaders or use the on Board VCA fader to do Xfades between tracks rather than the VCA moves all the fadders in one direction only or Studio 1 gets an Xfadder like Ableton and Trakton Waveform 13 that would be so cool🙂

[@elusivepassages]

Great video!

[@johnbowman3630]

Great tips! Although this update looks _extremely_ lackluster for a full point version by Presonus standards.

[@studioonetutorials]

Thank you. In fact, I've read this statement with every statement since Studio One version 2. Most people don't understand that it has always been the case with Studio One that a new major version (4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0) is just the beginning of a new release cycle. So there is no reason why a 6.0 has to have a huge amount of new features, as there was also 6.1, 6.2, 6.5 and 6.6, each with new features. People always say it's extremely disappointing compared to PreSonus' standards - it was the same with every previous version 😅

[@johnbowman3630]

@@studioonetutorials I mean this is not my experience at all, typically there is at least some things that get me excited to use, this time there's nothing as a producer that I would find useful, it's more stuff that a beatmaker would use. Also I will have to update my operating system apparently... S1 is obsoleting OS versions at a rather absurd rate these days for some reason Having said that, I remain hopeful and open minded for more features in a solid .5 release!

[@aurumnebulus]

Is there a way to make the notes in the note editor as bright and vivid and opaque as the events in the event viewer? The notes seemingly became more transparent (Compared to 6) and it's a bit weird to me.

[@ShamStalin]

Halftime real-time recording mode?

Hello Mr Lukas!...those track channel colouring!...how do i do it?...as in colouring each tracks!!...Thanks!!!....

[@IAmWriteJus]

My instrument bus is only giving me one extra track, and it's not separating the sounds. I''m new to studio one, and I was hoping to switch over, but it's frustrating me as of now, lol

[@studioonetutorials]

Well, this needs to be set up in the instrument. Studio One cannot separate sounds in your plug-ins for you ;-) Check out my Impact XT tutorials: s1toolbox.com/tutorials?topic=Impact+XT

@@studioonetutorials ahhhh... silly me for thinking everything works like Logic Pro. Thanks a lot! 🙂

[@ebbownee]

Awesome video Lukas! Thank you...

[@cescu2]

Can you drag the viewport around with middle mouse button? I'm waiting since the beginning of times!

[@Joseph-ot8rc]

Hey Lukas, at 6:37 you open what I think is the explorer window to pick some samples from it. How are you doing it so fast? Is there a shortcut to do that?

[@studioonetutorials]

Hi Joseph. On Windows, you can switch between open program windows with Alt+Tab. It's not Explorer but another great file explorer software called Total Commander.

[@sternenherz]

All in all, absolutely awesome, Studio One is becoming one of the best DAWs. One tiny thing i dislike, which was already part of S1 6: Concerning the scale feature: i think the scale highlighting via black horizontal lines is an unfortunate design choice, totally confusing - because a proper piano roll always should maintain its visual black/white-key matrix, upon which any scale should be shown.

[@chaddonal4331]

Lukas, thank you for your Top 5. I always appreciate your videos. They are always unique. I have a question though, as you are a composer and work with large scores. I spent tens of hours a couple years ago (v6) working on orchestral templates of various sizes and flexibility. And then I would frequently have real world problems in S1 being able to handle the data flow. It would bog down, overload, stability issues, etc. and seemingly not handle track counts much over 100 on my Windows system. It seemed I routinely had to pursue workarounds. I generally followed your approaches from your many wonderful scoring videos and tips. (Perhaps the main reason I went to S1 instead of Logic or Cubase). I have since gotten a MBP M1 Max that should be about 2x more powerful. I’ve moved and been away from scoring for awhile. Wondering: has S1 7 made overall changes that make it more stable for larger scoring projects?

[@studioonetutorials]

There were no recent changes regarding performance with large templates in version 7. But 6.6 changed a lot in this regard, zooming and navigating in songs with more than 500 tracks is much snappier than before. However, crashes should never happen, no matter how many instruments are in the song. In this case, it's usually a plug-in problem (which can be hard to find sometimes). I don't use these massively large templates anymore and have moved to a smaller template and using Track Templates. And I hope there will be more improvements for composing and scoring in the future.

[@chaddonal4331]

@@studioonetutorials Thanks for clarifying. I had previously used S1 thru 6.5. I should review your Track templates. I spent a long time prepping the killer massive template from which to work and keep unneeded tracks disabled. But my projects often couldn’t get off the ground; so bogged down. It seemed that disabled tracks were still using resources. So, good to hear about 6.5 and a different approach. You are singly a great resource for S1 composers.

[@LK-Beats]

I have the pro version 6. Now I wanted to upgrade to 7 Pro, but only credit cards are accepted. At the time I paid with PayPal. Why is that no longer possible? I only have a debit card from Germany and that is not accepted. Why is PayPal no longer accepted? I have no other way of paying.

[@LaurinaHawks]

As I can remember they never accepted PayPal.

[@Frostensen]

Hi Lukas, did they by any chance unlock the mouse scroll wheel in key configuration? (or is zoom still locked and you can't reassign it only with mouse scroll)

[@ew2045]

Very cool. A scrub function sure would have been nice though...

[@timspencer1]

Been waiting for that for a LONG time - without it scoring to picture is a lot more difficult.

[@erekhronmusic]

does this new snap to scale mode has live scale snap when recording?

[@jbognap]

This would be awesome. In the Cubase chord track, you have the option of instantiating scales which follow the chord progression. Then, there are a couple of ways to do realtime MIDI recording, where notes are snapped to the scale as you play.

[@lg_414]

Will the drum busses create their own midi for each pad?

[@fs6263]

Any new features for film scoring?

[@SvetoslavAtanasov]

Thank yu for the video!!

[@ArthurKlisiewicz]

I am very disappointed that in version 7 there is still not way to audition chord notes with the mouse. The feature I used in Ableton for 15+ years, EVERY DAY ! I keep asking for adding this for 3 years now. This is the main reason I still use ABLETON and have not fully migrated to S1.

[@JensRefshoj]

Thanks a lot Lukas. Presonus really listen to their customer. I started with music 5 years ago and downloaded S1. Sometimes I look for an alternative DAW but everytime I came to the same conclusion, no other DAW have so many features as Studio One.

[@atiochryst]

Did they add auto scroll functionality?

[@wolfgangkurz156]

Danke für das Update! Frage zu 'instrument bus folders': In Eastwest Opus kann ich ja in einer Instanz mehrere Instrumente platzieren. Funktioniert das neue Feature auch hier wie im Beispiel Impact gezeigt? Also jedes Instrument bekommt ein track, der an die Konsole gekoppelt ist?

[@studioonetutorials]

Ja, das geht immer noch genau so. Allerdings würde ich in dem Fall gar nicht die Bus Folders benutzen, wenn es wirklich unterschiedliche Instrumente sind. Die willst du ja dann wahrscheinlich auch im Mixer einzeln sehen und nicht gruppiert haben. Außer vielleicht, du hast in einer Opus-Instanz z.B. nur Holzbläser und möchtest dafür sowieso einen Masterfader haben um alle Holzbläser zusammen einstellen zu können.

[@emdee1137]

Hey, what if I want to arrange the drums that are in a group individually? In Logic, an individual track is created for each ‘pad’ so that it can be edited individually in the arrangement.

[@studioonetutorials]

You can have as many tracks going into this instrument as you like. So you can easily have separate tracks for BD, snare, hihat etc. But you can also have everything on one track. It is all possible :)

[@Stevensour]

Midi editing note shortcut in studio one is good. But I like the way FL Studio does is just Right click to draw note and Left click to Erase note. Studio one should make a choice for this.❤❤

[@studioonetutorials]

There's a reason why it's Studio One :) Otherwise it would be FL Studio. By the way, you confused left-click and right-click in your comment.

Hi Lukas, I'm tempted to upgrade but wanted to ask seeing as you're a Windows user - is the Fullscreen mode still broken? For some reason Fullscreen is "Always On Top", so you can't open other windows or Alt+Tab. It's only a small issue of course, no biggie. Thanks :)

Of course you can still stay on version 6 and wait for some more features before upgrading. By the way, Harmony Wizard is not included in version 7 - if that's what you meant.

[@iancurrie3763]

I was just wondering how long it would take you to release a video (although I thought it would be 'hidden features' lol. Thanks for this, Lukas. The GUI changes are wonderful! Everything is much easier to read, including markers, arrangement labels etc, and of course the midi notes in events. I love the quality of life improvements that Presonus makes. For example, not too long ago I discovered that the piano roll had an option to color notes by pitch (which I've seen in Cubase). Not sure if that was around for a while or recently added but I would have paid my hard earned dollars just for that!

[@studioonetutorials]

These are really kind words. Thank you Ian!

[@carlosp.1846]

Don’t want to bash this update but……

[@garethde-witt6433]

I stayed with version 6, there is absolutely nothing in version 7 that justifies upgrading. The new features are probably good for the sample “musicians” but I don’t use vsti or samples. I loathe fake instruments and the ai stem separation is just useless, why do people want such a useless feature? There is no need for it anywhere in the music world. So I will not be upgrading at anytime in the foreseeable future. Obviously it’s not the DAW for everyone.

[@grooveballoon2844]

[@ahmedyadam7240]

Still cracklung, glitching is the main isuue with third paty plugins like Arturia , Tone2, Never with built-in plugins to be honest unless there are many of them loaded But In Fl studio these annoying plugins stop being annoying 😢 Sometimes with Abelton live sometimes not Sec. Still no midi-out as an option or even as a plugin like in Fl-studio Even in 2024 !! Still way way behind in case of built-in instruments, modulators Like in bitwig or abelton Best thing its the most straight forward DAW to use

[@user-hz9kl6ji5s]

It's surprising that they didn't update Sample XT and One at all, even though many people have been requesting it for years. This proves that they don't listen to any feedback from users."

What about the 20 other features that many people have been requesting and that they implemented in this version? So what you're saying is, just because your favorite feature request didn't make it is proof that PreSonus generally doesn't listen?
