I use the folder tab and would love to have the ability to rename the plugins. Obviously, that may take a bit of programming, but it would be nice to see it in a future update. Thx.

[@zrgotbarz9648]

Great video Joe Can you please tell them to add an name change for plugins, and the ability to put one plugin in two different folders in the next update?

[@musicforthemind3421]

Studio one needs a favourite folder for your audio wavs. Reason had this years ago. Should be a standard on all DAW's

[@DadRockAndGuitars]

Plugin organization is one of my favorite Studio One features.

[@oraea-yvonnevaris1369]

Thanks, Joe!

[@stupidusername38]

if you've got a load of folders open in your Browser and you want to close all of them hold Alt and press the Up arrow.

[@csikora5150]

Once again, Joe you're a hero! I received free plug-ins from a company that shall go unnamed. Along with my freebies I received a bunch of their for sale plug-ins that I don't use. Always thought it was annoying as I'm not ready to delete them, but didn't know there was a way to hide them. Thank you!

[@babyloniastudio5352]

Please look at Logic’s way of organizing plugins. In their plug-in manager you can move plugins around and give them alternate names, and MOST IMPORTANTLY the folders have redundancy. You can put a particular plug-in in as many folders as you want

[@OrdinaryOneOfficial]

Team 'Vendor' here. (Also Team Thumbnails). :)

[@fogvarious2478]

vendor or faves /recent :) .. fabfilter gets a lot of adds

[@jonhamilton48]

This is cool until Studio One crashes, and all the folders you create are gone! Not even close to as good as the Steinberg's Cubase/Nuendo Plugin manager.

[@thadirtyabbott33]

All I Can Say Is Thank You Joe!

[@gcoudert]

I use custom keyboard shortcuts mapped to custom macros that I use for all sorts of things, including inserting new tracks with specific virtual instruments on them, effect plugins, effect chains, etc. I have a second Mac keyboard and I label its keys with Sharpie pens.

[@Rob.anonymous]

@presonus Audio Electronics also use this folder structure since a long time but the downside is u can only pick a vst in 1 folder - sometimes i wanted to have same vst in 2 different folders (e.g: 1176 in Folder Comps (FET) but also in folder Mixdown Fav or whatever) - u get the idea - any way to realize this? - in CB for example I can do it from the plugin Manager once I add it twice in different folders. Joe please show me a workaround or gimme a perspective dude :) (this is a copy question from the Short Video from gregor where i asked same btw)

[@netzer442]

great episode, thanks.

[@UniqueTouch]

Joe my Dude... sooo how do you remember all that lol!!! I just bought my P.S.O.vsn#6 12.5.22 and just wanna say thank you for explaining the Flat-Vendor+2more choices up thier and how to use them. It's ok we do music 2day, cause you taught me how to work easier Sir! Thank you. Ps. ***Thank you for not assuming we rookies know. Great tut my Dude.

[@MrTADEUSARIUS]

Hello and thank you for your videos!Can i ask how can i add in an audio track for my guitar effects in the Sends part like some specific reverb,delay,chorus etc, in one pack like the plus option i have in the inserts (store default FXs etc and put automatically the amps i want).

[@ronnyb5890]

hey Joe,i go even one step further,i make some extra folders,like,for your Avox plugins i would make a folder called "Vocal",because Avox is a plugin for vocals,and for an effect such as VT1,i'll put it in a folder named "multi-effect" as it has multiple effects,i also make specific folders for instruments like,shall we say "arturia" otherwise studio one will put pigments into the synths folder,i also devide romplers and samplers this way i can find everything very fast,cheers

[@DanielStaff_]

Best way I decided to set it up was using the folder tab, then I custom create all the folders into vendors, then each vendor folder I have more folders filtering the plugins into the type of plugin it is. works great.

[@xoffworld]

hi joe, we need the option to rename plugins plz

[@toddwmac]

Thanks Joe, good stuff as always. It would be great if we could mark Instrument Plugin Presets as Favorites. Sure, we can for example mark Presence as a Favorite "instrument", but I still need to scroll through hundreds of presets to find the one actual instrument I want. As a user of S1 for many years, I'm constantly surprised that PreSonus has not added this feature to their workflow. I understand that the issue is likely related to how PreSonus .Soundsets are packaged and compressed as read only, and I know we can save presets into a custom sub-folder, but it seems dev could do a pretty simple solution that would let us quickly mark an instrument preset as a Favorite like we do with Effects and take care of any workarounds behind the scenes. Regardless, thanks for all the great content!

[@ErimlRGG]

A little note. If you like seeing the thumbnail the plugin doesn't need to come with the image, you can create that image. Just open the Plug-in and on the top tab list where it says the name of the plugin click the triangle going down and on the bottom there's a "Update Plug-In Thumbnail" option, press it and you're good to go

[@Ben-Jamminalot]

Hoping that you Guy's add a room emulator for Acoustic Drums🙏🥁 something with a sub harmonic range. Some nice room modeling. Just a suggestion I imagine most artist drummer/ percussionist, would love.

[@CREATEEDUCATEINSPIRE]

Is there an advantage to using VST3 vs AU?

[@craig7810]

Hey Joe, thank you for all the great content over the last few years. You have helped to make my transition from Cubase to Studio one seamless. I'm am wondering if Studio one prefers a certain type of plug in? I have multiple copies of each plugin such as an Au version and a VST version. Would one be preferable over the other?

[@ikigai47]

If you're pc it's vst. If you're mac it's au. (mac can use vst too (tho au is superior on mac since it's built into the os for faster processing) but pc can't use au if memory serves)

[@craig7810]

@@ikigai47 ah that's great. Thanks for your help. I use an M1 Mac. I use both the VSTs and AU but wondering if one is more CPU friendly than the other. I may hide all my VST duplicates and stick to the AU for those plug ins.

[@ikigai47]

@@craig7810 Nice (yes au is definitely more cpu friendly on mac!)

[@tgoodjenkins]

Can you guys add the ability to sleep AU plugins please. can only do with VST which kind of sucks as a mac user.

[@woodenbeast9337]

Joe I am building a new computer for studio one, where would you put your 3rd party plug-ins? c drive or d drive? Thanks

[@fogvarious2478]

i would like some audit for s1.. e.g. i got vst3 plugins.. it moves vst2's out of view. i can hide em by hand.. but still

Can I just say that PreSonus is really killing the competition with all of these super handy tutorials. And S1 is freakin' ELITE!

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

You either work for them or you're slow, this software is nowhere near elite.

@@kensmechanicalaffair Haha.

[@stupidusername38]

where you have multiple instances of the same plugin inserted on different tracks it would be really useful if there was a way to 'bypass all instances of this plugin'

[@ronniefisher1030]

I purchased Rocket Powered Thickify plug in and can't get it into Studio One 5 Professional. Any tips for me? Thank you !

[@tombuur]

I put quite some work into sorting my plugins. Then a few months later everything was gone. Including the recent song list at start up. Now this has happened 3-4 times to me. I can't figure out why. A side effect of updating Studio One? After crashes? I don't know. There are some files somewhere with the lost data, but I have not managed to successfully revive my settings. Is there a way to backup and restore all settings, including recent songs list and custom plugin lists?

[@toffeeriot4219]

There doesn't seem to be a way of just deleting unwanted plug-ins. Any suggestions?

[@maxtofone]

Thanks a lot for this great video... Are all the changes made to both the Effects and Virtual Instruments list permanent or do I need to save the project as a Template to see my custom made changes every time I open Studio One? Many thanks and best regards? MaxT

[@maxtofone]

I am wondering if anyone can please answer my question above! Many thanks...

[@monderomusic1556]

thx. how can i sort plugins? not by alphabet

[@fogvarious2478]

have bought some 3rd party mojo presets.. total pain to add to the presets folder vs other vendors :/

[@koen.vermeiren]

The Favorites are a handy way to keep all your often used effects together in one place. But it would even be more handy if you could put (only) presets of an effect in the Favorites. Or is there a way to do that?

[@anotherchrisperry]

you can create an FX chain with one plugin (or more) and set it how you want it, then name it whatever you like and make folders within FX Chains. Works really well for me.

[@koen.vermeiren]

@@anotherchrisperry Thank you for your answer. I'm going to try it out! Best Regards, Koen (Belgium)

[@sm5574]

It should also be noted that you cann easily add a thumbnail from inside Studio One for any and every plugin you have installed.

[@erlebnishof6793]

Is there a way to close all folders at once? After working for 30 Minutes, I usually have so many open folders, I want to close them all. I go with the "Manufacturer-View" and I have so many Plugins, that it takes time to close all the folders. So, can you help me on this one?

[@georgezorbas9036]

very nice - BUT - see Reaper Build In Oversampling - wouldn't that be a super nice feature??

[@UniqueTouch]

JOE my Dukes... can I add my Izotope pack to Studio One 6? If so - How so Sir.???

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

How about pre sonus fixes those wack ass midi issues?

[@uralb]

Studio One is great, but the plugin management totally sucks 😐
