Presonus Atom - Hands on with Studio One.

[@allgonewrongful]

Hands down, the best presentation of the atom. No filler, clear, concise. Brilliant.

[@mysticstarxxx8185]

Dude! Awesome presentation! I got one for Christmas a few days ago, and I have been to a few sites that claim they are getting you familiar with the Atom. They didn't come close to your presentation. In a short period of time into the video, you had already shown us different ways of recording tracks .......and still didn't utilize a mouse! You covered a lot more in your video in a short period of time, but made it extremely easy to understand and start us on the way to discovering more about this fantastic tool / instrument.

Hey I know it's been a year+ since you got your Atom. I 'm just curious how it's been for your workflow/creativity and has it helped? I've had one for at least 3 years and it just sits on my desk. Every time I decide to try it again, I just get so frustrated with it. I started S1 with a mouse and I'm so fast with the mouse in my production that it feels like my brain is spinning backwards whenI try to use the Atom or the Atom SQ. Did you hit any walls the first time you used it, workflow wise? I guess I just need to bit the bullet and take a day to sit with it and learn it better. Hope all is good.

[@JacinNeilWaple]

Thank you, This was simple and slow enough to help and fast enough to not be boring.

[@rondetten9252]

It works really well with SO4, not so much the previous versions without a bunch of work.

[@charlesfinnegan6605]

Good lesson. one thing, I could not understand what you were saying about activating pressure, specifically you were on the Mat Tai and showing the pressure feature. You can wiggle your finger and make it do a sort of vibrato. To set it you press and hold Set-Up button. I did not see you touch anything else and I could;d not understand what you said. I thought I was hearing you say 6, but hitting 6 does nothing. Could you clarify please?

[@stream102new8]

I've got mine ordered 😎 Best presentation of the Atom yet. Although I am sure you said the Atom was free with Studio One

[@igotsomespace]

Mine arrived yesterday. I am excited for both of us. Good luck with your journey :)

[@daveyrocket68]

Awesome explanation and great presentation. I did giggle a little when at 11:10 I heard you say that the atom comes free with StudioOne Artist which of course means that artist is free with the Atom purchase. I do kind of wish there was an over head shot of how you set the after touch but there is a comprehensive instruction manual too. Thanks again.

[@abeniham]

Could you please do a performance tutorial using the Atom

[@AlOne-xg6dv]

As i just received my ATOM yesterday, it helps, thank you. I just cannot reproduce the pressure assignment with the setup and key 6, it does nothing. And even while looking at the video in slow motion at 9:36 i could not see you type any key before you got an aftertouch effect. I will keep on searching this feature. Some help would be appreciated.

[@skidara]

I'm having the same problem

[@GothiicAngels]

I have this, but very rarely use it. Maybe I should of gotten the Atom SQ

[@timetravelvictim]

I have both and I never use them. I just can't get the workflow into my brain. I'm so much faster with the mouse and trackpad.

[@toffeeriot4219]

No rewind or fast forward on the transport though. Please tell us we don't have to use the mouse for that.

[@RogerRFontaine]

great overview Lee. However I;m having some trouble getting to change the brightness of the display. The manual says I must be in advanced setup mode and not in active mode. But the manual doesn't give details on how to go to advanced setup mode. I need help. Preessing Shift and right setup is supposed to illuminate the three brightness pads when pressing 'bank'. However this is not working for me.

[@allgonewrongful]

On the right hand side row is a small round black button (hard to see), press that mate (i think u may have to keep it pressed). Thats advanced set up. Then you press shift and right to turn the light down.

[@theoriginalheartstrummer]

There needs to be a way to transpose the pads by semitones. I know how to change them as a group by octave but not by semitone. Is it possible?

[@eliaszerano3510]

Can you duplicate / copy / paste pads with the hardware ?

[@therealjackfisher]

I dont need one, but I still want it 🤣

[@datguyzofficial6233]

You've not shown how to get to this point were i can set up my atom

[@aonethomas1584]

Any idea why my pad 11 and 12 doesn't work for volume, while in edit mode. It does nothing! Every other function in this video is working

[@JavierDiCiriaco]

I can´t run Drumma VST on my Atom....Do you know if is compatible or not? Tnahks!

[@johannsoncrusoe5589]

nice tutorial and good information! My preset of atom seems to be different. Not all modes work global as yours in the video. Maybe it is slightly different on win7/PC and MAC, but anyway it is good to start from here! THX!

[@miket9456]

I need a Tutorial Using FL Studio i can't find anything

[@allinonethegreat]

Very nice informative tutorial

[@MediaMusik777]

great controller but 1 minor issue when i sync the atom to abelton then note repeat function is disabled?

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

Really I'm considering Purchasing One How would you describe the Size of the controller??

[@MediaMusik777]

J.B.G a.k.a J.Boston Green controller is awesome it’s backpack size and portable with a little meaty weight also you can’t program it big flaw imo and beat repeat cannot be synced unless you own studio one

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

Really that's interesting very interesting 👍

[@franklyspeakingfreely]

Thanks for bringing this up. What a shame, it is a deal breaker for me. Glad you pointed it out.

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Awesome Piece, Well explained review, 💯 % Thanks

[@UndalandFortress]

I just got SO4 but i would like to use it with FL also. I'm having issues with mine using it with FL studio. it wont recognize it in the midi settings. thanks for the vid.

[@geewyzz2551]

can you use this with a midi controller to play keys while you use this to do drums?

[@gravitytwins1921]

Yes you can organize what midi device goes to which instrument at a time

[@bolla116]

It works really well with studio one but Im used to fl studio and ableton.. it is supposed to work with every daw but you pretty much have to program the thing yourself if you wish to use it with another daw.. tried to use it with fl studio which is my main.. have to connect everything to its own pad, everything has to be from the same instrument/channel.. you do not get the same plugin interface as in studio one.. I really like the atom but having to learn and use studio one + break up the workflow in the middle of a project everytime I wanna use it.. not so happy with that.. especially since it said that it would work like a charm with every daw.. no manual or video to show you how to set it up properly with different daw neither..

[@raysatterfield7573]

was referred to this for atom. Great tutorial if I plugged it in and it worked this way. But there is no explanation on how to CONNECT and set the audio correctly. I can open the browser and select an instrument but that's it. Studio 1.6 Mac 1 Studio. ?????????????no sound no response from pads

[@Gramps99]

If presonus gave the cs18ai mcu Hui support that would be great

[@jumpstart8159]

Chris Thomas lmao you are really dedicated

[@DW-qn7yw]

How do I move the pads about? I want my snare near my bass

[@georgemichael3078]

"Here I've got my..." then press note repeat

[@skkygurl6671]

Is this the same as a FaderPort?

[@timmorris5117]

No...Faderport is a mini mixer and transport control.

[@skkygurl6671]

Thank you

[@jonathanmartinez572]

necesitamos tambien tutoriales en español

[@lilsafmusic]

Neat

[@ArapBayraminOglu]

There literally is not one simple, compact, affordable good responsive pad controller on the market. Not one! Maschine mikro mk3 has shit ableton support, the Akai MPD218 has shit response, the ATOM is a freaking light bulb. How is this going on for so long?!!?! I have one crucial question. I understood that it's impossible to turn off the ridiculous lights on the ATOM (yes also in low dim setting) Is it possible to open up the ATOM get inside it and 'paint' each lightbulb with some sort of paint to dim it. Or even better remove a cable that turns off all the lights but keeps everything working????

[@timetravelvictim]

Haha so true. the Atom is way to bright.

[@franklyspeakingfreely]

This does not synch tempo for note repeat. Be aware!

[@mazerbeamz]
