Mixer Options and Layouts in Studio One

[@DjSirSparx]

PreSonus Studio One I believe is the most underrated DAW on the market this software has a little of every digital audio workstation in it a little Pro Tools a touch of logic ect. and molded into one package excellent job PreSonus..

[@citizenworld8094]

To "Console" is also a verb meaning to give comfort in times of disappointment. Very apt for Gregor who never disappoints.

[@alanbranch449]

One of the most advanced DAW mixers I've ever used! The best of Pro Tools & Logic combined plus a lot more. Can't wait to see the Surround implementation!

[@PTFWWDB]

yeah I am in love with this program

[@thosedreadedgnats1511]

Very informative. The output tab for my Cue Headphone mix is what had me perplexed. Having a song with over 40 tracks, I didn't see that there was a "'pull tab" to the left of the Master/Main channel that needed to be grabbed and moved left in order for me to see the Cue output mix channels. I spent quite a long time looking for it, until I played back that section of this video a few times until it made sense.

[@thegroove2000]

Studio one is mind bending. So many useful features.

[@Dellx]

seeing the grey Gregor,, truly a wizard of S1. thank you sir for all the time and effort.

[@allylead]

Hey Gregor, thanks buddy for giving so much information through your videos. Guys like you and Joe gilder make this world a better place for musicians like me.

[@brandonjacobmusic]

I was hoping to see how to get this mixer to appear as it does at 1:42. Please explain I’ve done it before but I can’t remember how to make it so the inserts appear next to the fader rather than on top!

[@SteveOuimette]

As always, Pure Gold Gregor! Every video I learn something new.

[@dpinskey]

Thanks Greggor! Just when I think I’ve found everything I need to know about SO you show us something I never knew was there like the parameter selections for group functions! Woo hoo! New workflows to follow for this guy! Thanks again!

[@TroyCastellano]

Is there no shortcut key to toggle mixer open and close? I use this feature a lot in Logic.

[@marcelgrisner]

Thanks Gregor. With every update I always hope that it becomes possible to adjust the horizontal width of the channels (like you can vertically in the main project window). The current narrow/normal toggle is not much help when adjusting the console to exactly fit the monitor size.

[@michaeltablet8577]

Thank you so much for these videos with Gregor and Joe! So very helpful.

[@Pulse2AM]

When does it have a laundry function added? I need that.

[@Owl-qh2rh]

Wow! And all in 6 mins!!! Well done great vid I'll be rewatching a few times I bet lol 👍

[@dryzd]

I learned a lot in those 6 minut. Thanks mate!

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Well explained..once again Gregor...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@trickfall8752]

Thanks, these videos are always helpful. I may be doing something wrong, or missing something, but my one complaint about the mixer is I find it incredibly fiddly to adjust send levels.

[@martinlewis2143]

Fantastic! Thanks! 🎸😃

[@michaelrice6620]

Thank you I just learned some new stuff!!

[@Emily_M81]

I need that hoody in my life. It matches my car (Hyundai Veloster N) and my DAW :D Thanks for sharing! I'm going to activate colored mixer channels right now.

[@alexhollingsworth2404]

Thanks so much for these videos Gregor! They're super useful. Is there a possibility of showing us how you integrate your modular synth setup into Studio One? Would be really interesting to see!

[@tobbebergman7583]

I wish you could export and import the mixer configuration ! And how about being able to print the chord track ?

[@andrealoverde8771]

It's a bit disappointing that there's no way to "lock" certain channels to the right part of the screen, in order to have them always visible when you scroll all your channels.

[@wolfieodimm9151]

is there a option to pre define input gain for all channels. Like when you create a new audio/instrument track it automatically sets the input gain to say like -6db. (will be helpful for headroom).

[@Joseph-ot8rc]

This is a feature request at the moment. It got more than 40 votes. I asked Presonus to implement that as a shortcut, so that you can build macros with that (for example, create audio track + input gain -6). I believe it's pretty easy to add a shortcut for that but they are taking some time apparently. Feel free to vote the feature request here: answers.presonus.com/62326/hey-presonus-you-need-to-improve-your-shortcuts?show=62326#q62326

[@panplaneta1]

Thank You 😊

[@803MUSICGROUP]

How do you find the mixer channels for the instruments?... I opened up an old session and some of the channels are missing from the mixer for some of the instruments in my session

[@RahulSimaro]

Please make new videos on integration of Atom with newer version of studio one.

[@jmsdeco]

theses videos are very helpful !

[@kyfisher3662]

is there a way to link the colorize between tracks using a vst and the mixer channel for the vst? or do i have to change it in each view every time?

[@0Lm0nk]

Thanks for the video. But why is there still no actual readout of the Peak and RMS on the individual Channels in Studio One.? We have to always Solo and check on the Master

[@ayoslimthaproducer4828]

Can you expand third party plugins? Or is it just presonus plugins

[@oyaarss]

Great video as usual, thanks! My only wish would be to have a feature to "pin" certain console channels/buses visible at all times. While I love and use the "Link Console and Tracklist visibility" and I use it for my console on a secondary screen, on large sessions there's a lot of navigating back and forth to find the bus channels (with shift+scroll speed being relatively slow). Otherwise, I'm a happy camper!

[@BNLNRD]

Have you tried using scenes at all? I find those very helpful with large projects. Especially when there's a lot of bussing or VCA-Usage, setting scenes where you can mix with only those really helps not getting lost in every detail. Takes some getting used to, but it's a good habit to have.

[@oyaarss]

@@BNLNRD Thanks, yes - scenes can be helpful at times, but they take time to set up or adjusted, even when included in a template, also my inner paranoid intuition doesn't sit well with the concept of "recalling" mixes (even though it's visibility only), not sure what impact it has on 3rd party plugins (I like to change scenes A LOT and often swiftly). Haven't had any problems so far, I generally trust S1, but I'm still nervous about it. Regardless of scenes though, pinning channels as always visible would be a great addition.

[@miguelserranodj]

Can you save a layout as default?

[@cathywilson1273]

I 'know' this tutorial is about the mixer views and layout, but I'm trying to figure how to move the track list all the way to the left, so there could be more of the arrangement view. As an example, we can fully hide the browser, which in turn, gives more of the arrangement view on the right side. Thanks in advance! :-)

[@ourstudiosvizag7488]

Jai ho Gregor. Another helpful video. Thank you brother.

[@filimonedakei7738]

How do you mix in 5.1 speaker mode

[@madlab_studios]

Muy bueno!!para cuando poder colorear el botón del fader?

[@spitia7732]

Is it possible to get “meter” in the mixer ??

[@tjrmusic487]

The two people who disliked this video really just meant to share it on Facebook. It's ok. Mistakes happen. Just fix it.

[@sillyfello]

Hi Gregor, i have a doubt.. I will choose only buses to appear on the mixer window from the channel list. I unliked the show/ hide track feature. So i can keep working on my tracks in the Timeline and i can see only my buses in the mixer.. But, when i start inserting a plugin on a track or i did some edit on a track.. it appears on the mixer. I get how smart that feature is.. But can i disable that feature??

[@jaamabay3830]

Hi Gregor, ich habe ein template, in dem ich die Sends auf Kanälen und Bussen soweit hochziehe, dass alle Sends im Inspektor gleich sichtbar sind, ohne dass ich den Send-Bereich nochmal nach oben ziehen muss. Allerdings wird das nicht im template gespeichert, öffnet man das template sind die Sends auf den Einzelkanälen im Inspektor ganz unten, auf den Bussen ganz hochgezogen, so dass sie hier die Inserts verdecken. Weißt du wie man das hinkriegt?

[@ocelot972]

Wow, one of the most flexible mixers out there. I'm strongly considering switching to Studio One and the possibilities with the mixer (graphical options also) is one of the main reason. I'm used to seeing the whole chanell strip (from gain on the top all the way to the custom notes to the bottom) similar to the real life signal flow and that's an important thing when it comes both to organizing and just feeling where the signal goes without it being visually scattered throughout the software. I just have one question, are the number of audio/midi chanells limited on the Artist version?

I am kinda new to Studio 1 coming from using Reason for +20 years. I see that you have a dim function if you're using a Presonus interface - is there a dim function still if you're not using something from Presonus? Like a DIM -20 dB button? It's very handy checking mixes super low ...fast. Thanks!

[@bubinga_basher]

I’m having trouble getting an answer for something. Can I use the ARC series mixer as a way to control Studio One 5 Pro? I’m still learning Studio, so I’m not ready to pick up a Studio Live board. I can’t find the answer anywhere, so I’m guessing no, but hoping yes.

[@tenzi24]

Thanks Gregor. Great video as always. When will you make a video on Presonus SQ? You promised that a long time ago!

[@presonus]

3 ATOM SQ videos coming up in May!

[@leandrobremer-music]

Is there a way to save a console layout preset? Every time I start a new session I have to resize the console to my liking and I hate that. I'd be really nice to have something like a auto resize while I add plugins too 🤢

[@kalki2176]

Is studio one artist vr is good ? And can i use it in my intel i3 4gb laptop ? Plz tell

[@Pianoandguitarplaywr]

Question: Is there a way you can automate buses? If so, how can you? Because every track that I have in my song I don't wanna take so much time to automate every single one. That's why I put them into buses. Is there a way i can automate buses?

[@EHall-zj9zy]

Hey Gregor is there a setting to have the input control displayed by default?

[@BNLNRD]

I think you can just enable them in a blank project and save that as a template

[@PTFWWDB]

is there a way to show the bus track on the main horizontal track screen

[@presonus]

Yes, there is - just add an automation for it by right clicking the Bus fader in the Mixer. -GBY

[@PTFWWDB]

@@presonus awesome! thank you sir ‼

[@resslerartstudios]

A couple of things I'd love to see: With channel notes, on a right click, can we Center the type and increase the size of the font and make the type bold or italic. Also can we display only the input channel that's is being used. If I am using input 6, i don't need to see channels 1-5. Just a few wish list items. Cheers!

[@Joseph-ot8rc]

Agree, it would be great to further customize Studio One and maybe change the font type :)

[@llgms]

Please, option to see inserts/sends in narrow mixer mode would be nice!

[@presonus]

You can - double click on the respective channel. This will expand the inserts and sends for that particular channel. You can also have this behavior follow your channel selection, as shown. -GBY

[@llgms]

@@presonus Sure, but I meant to show them above the fader instead of meter just like on large width view

[@presonus]

@@llgms I'm not quite sure if I understand. How could a plugin name be displayed with such a narrow channel width? -GBY

[@llgms]

@@presonus In pro tools plugin names are just truncated, I wouldn’t see any issue with that.

[@MrSiwat]

Yes, really helpful. Thanks.)

You show a list of options, but you only explained one! I saw about 10-15 options there! Are they unimportant?

Good video, thank but that keyboard sound is quite loud and distracting, hope you can quiet that down in the future.

[@keithwarm5776]

I like S1. But there are things that always had me scratching my head about the UI in general most of which revolve around the mixer. Just a few things here: Single-click to get a thumbnail and DOUBLE-click to open the plugin? Shouldn’t it be the other way around? How many pro-level engineers prefer to make tweaks on a thumbnail? Classic novelty-over-function there. We have clear indicators in the mixer that a plug-in is bypassed, powered on/off, and enabled/disabled, but NO indicator that a plug-in editor is open? This is a BIG miss for engineers who handle large sessions with many plugins. No option for dual pan on stereo tracks/busses. This would help ALOT with disguising track types. And a few small but relevant things like: Channel name fields in full-blown color causing the font to invert = Rookie move. This is not the case in the arrange view. Why didn’t we follow that same design philosophy in the mixer? Solo-safe currently looks like every other solo button in active state (Same lit-up green). This is counter-intuitive. They should be easily distinguished. And why is it necessary to have every other channel show active mute state when 1 channel is soloed? Cubase and Logic did this too and I always found it very distracting. If I mute one channel do the rest of the channels solo? Selected channels are simply a lighter shade of what’s already there. This becomes especially cumbersome when the option to color mixer channels is turned on. Selected channels should be more easily distinguished.

[@dspoet1]

Cubase still has the best mixer.

[@edjamar9274]

[@eyeque7]

I need to say something left of field - It is really annoying that there is no wet/dry knob (other than that painful work-around using the splitter, which u can't even automate) in Studio One. This function has been available in FL studio for 10 years. I'm currently trying to use a plugin, which doesn't have a wet/dry knob, but I cant automate the wet/dry signal. Presonus seems to be about innovation and great ideas and yet is unable to execute the implementation of a simple knob...and why do you keep ignoring the requests for it like it's not an important function to have? And you shouldn't be asking whether it's an important function to have via a voting scheme. It shouldn't even be a discussion. It makes me question the professionalism of this software and company. I have spent the last hour trying to sort this issue with no resolve, and I continually ignore programs without a wet/dry knob. (Just found a solution - Use BC patchwork and automate the mix knob in that - how silly that I have refer to an external source to do that).
