I learnt a lot of Studio One from this channel which is quite rare from many other DAW official channels.

[@D-8-Tone2]

I love this video, in my opinion it sets up a standard for tutorial videos: funny, thorough and focusing and repeating all the necessary stuff still without treating you like a dummy. Thx this series is a Xmas 🎁 for me after returning to recording with a 20 year gap ... Thx again keep it up with these videos

[@thisislifesong313]

"No... you're shmoopy!" LOVE THE REFERENCE! Dude, you make the most helpful videos I've ever used. Thanks so much for doing what you do -- most sincerely appreciate it!

[@rocknrollfortyseven]

Been in live bands for years… Just to say… bought Studio One to ‘do some stuff’ with a mate.. didn’t do it. Hadn’t touched it.. never used it. Followed your tutorial on a basic drum loop and actually got something saved!! Your method is superb… just got to work out the next step of how to add some sort of keyboard etc.😂 I have subscribed so will be searching. Owen UK

[@crazymusiclady]

Joe, Love being entertained along with actually learning something since you don't talk like you're running out of time. I'm a Studio One novice and everything you said to do, actually worked from beginning to end which usually doesn't happen with me!

[@edwardmarion6525]

I appreciated your patient review of some of the basic steps in using S1, as opposed to assuming more accessible knowledge than I sometimes possess.

[@kris_lx]

You can skip the 'Convert part to pattern' option by using ALT + double click. This creates a pattern instantly. I assume on a Mac this is Option + double click.

[@delicrux]

thank you so much the option wasnt visible in the demo version but this shortcut works. im still on the fence on if im getting studio one over flstudio.

[@petersvan7880]

@@delicrux You should, S1 rules :)

[@yeahyeah3206]

@@delicrux There are too many variables. Use whatever you feel comfortable with the most at the moment, eventually you’ll own both of them. You’re already on step one of the DAW hoarding journey, we all face it at some point.

[@studioonetutorials]

Or just use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Shift+P (Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows) to create a Pattern. That's Event -> Insert Pattern.

[@delicrux]

@@yeahyeah3206 trust me i was there 10 years ago. Flstudio 4 cubase reaper sonar reason. Now I have ableton bitwig ableton renoise. Im not a fan of ableton renoise is great but has a huge learning curve bitwig is great for analog style synthesis and sound design has a learning curve and some issues with getting input from mics and guitars. S1 looks solid but its taking me a while to get a decent workflow compared to flstudio 5 in my past.

[@wyattcadogan9481]

Thanks Joe! You always know how to make a average "JOE" feel better...Because of this video I now feel like I can open up Studio One and actually create a song or a project without feeling "looppy shmoopy". Thanks Joe.

[@fingerz1245]

Joe, you had way too much fun making this video!🤣 Also, I just learned recently you can click tempo and drag up and down to alter the speed. Makes it easy to match tempo in real time! Love Studio One!

[@tonymilone5458]

Thanks Joe, this is very helpful. Can you please do a Part II to this video? What I would be interested to see is how to work with the drum pattern mode for a full song with beat variations, different beats for verses, pre-choruses, choruses, fills, etc. Is it even practical to use pattern mode like this? How can you use pattern mode for many variations within a song so it's not the same pettern repeatedly? Thanks again!

[@peterelfman]

Gregor made this exact tutorial a while ago. It's brilliant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIa6eJ15e5Kcn8U

[@peterelfman]

And as a quick follow-up, Patterns are incredibly powerful in Studio 1. You can create and save dozens of variations to a pattern, and can have multiple sets of patterns/variations per instrument set. Swapping between variations is insanely simple after you've created them.

[@tonymilone5458]

@@peterelfman Thank You Peter!

[@gregtapevideo1464]

I needed this tutorial. When I brought up impact in the past I couldn't figure out how to get the sound into my project. I got it now!! Thank you Joe!!

[@CamsCampbell]

Oh my golly gosh, how I've missed you Joe! I've not made any music for ages and am just getting back into making something, so first of all I had a Studio One 5 upgrade to take care of and here we are. So you're official with PreSonus now? Congrats dude. Your teaching style is second to none and your cheeky, witty style is so engaging. So nice to see you again!

[@juniorflores1210]

The best at simplifying how to do a thing straight to the point thank you Joe

[@r.s.1307]

I saw you for the first time, but not the last time. You have a very inspiring way of bringing technical information to people. Great + thanks PS: Do you also have tips for the artist versions or can you please mark which versions your really good tricks are for? Thank you in advance. Ralph

[@toddwmac]

Thanks Joe, great stuff as always. Been watching you for years and fun to watch you refine your on-camera style. Thanks for what you do.

[@rilumrhythm7576]

Every day I am listening your different videos regarding music production.

[@ulliel_]

I'm starting to be convinced that Joe should get a Netflix comedy special :) , informative and funny as always.

[@bradenharwood]

I watched this on 1.5x...the part where you talked about maybe waking and being hyperactive that day was hilarious. All Comedy aside, it was a very helpful video. Thank you, Joe!

[@jessicaestes]

I’ve watched this so many times I now say ‘yay for blankness’ with him

[@heathen1778]

also if you click look in the bottom left under all the instrument names, you’ll see a mountain lookin icon ( to the left of the + and - ) that allows you to change the velocity and all that other stuff

[@DMEBeats]

This pattern view is what made me go wow,now studio one got both the FL studio channel rack and Cubase drum editor combine the daw just won me over ❤❤❤

[@allmagall]

I was wondering how to do just this and a friend sent me a link to another guys KZbin. The screen capture was all blurry and he had the cart way ahead of the horse. He had all of the drum tracks laid out and didn't explain how to get them there. And he went racing around the interface without showing, as you did, alternative keystrokes, buttons. You also went back and did things twice sometimes. Thank you! Now I can go and lay down some bass tracks etc. with ease. and yes, I have created a template from this simple drum loop. Thanks for that as well.

[@urslienhard2348]

It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.

[@jrallday]

Whoever made this software cares about music! 👍🏾

[@cjp68]

Thank you Joe ! Even though we have different tastes in genre's of music your Knowledge of Studio One is Amazing !! I'd pay good money to hangout with you for a few hours a day just to pick your brain. I can only imagine how much better my workflow would become ! Thank you again !

[@espsphere]

Very helpful! I had no idea about the drum sequencer at the bottom. Shared this vid with my son who owns an ATOM. I personally use my Maschine MK3 for my drums.

[@gordonklassen3182]

Good video. Studio one is intense. I’ve used GarageBand for a while and this is like graduating to a new level. Thanks for helping clear up the overwhelm. 'YOU’RE schmoopy!'

[@Brennersmusic]

Thanks Joe, was missing a vital step. New plan for the evening so. Loving your work man.

[@Resonance_Of_Life]

I figured all this out on my own one day and then promptly forgot how I did it! Ty for making this and saving me all the frustration of figuring it out again!

[@spottedliver]

Thank you. It took 4 attempts watching other videos to understand where to click the allow buttons to get sounds from the Impact drums.

[@send2aux]

You made my day! Thank you! Love your sense of humor. I think my neighbors heard me laugh a few times. I'm a Cubase guy but, I'm helping a buddy out (who has Studio One). Your video made me want to dump Cubase and start using Studio one. I'll be sending my friend to your channel. Take care!

[@thisislifesong313]

GREAT VID! And… “No… You’re shmoopy!” LOVE the reference!

[@tadabrown9095]

I’m a new by to recording. This was so very helpful!! Thank you.

[@warlock1663]

I use this video all the time as a reference since I cant remember anything...lol. Its nice to be able to pull it back up when needed. Thanks!!

[@foxbag3748]

That was a fantastic tutorial! I keep coming back to the ones you've done. super super helpful

[@LightNSoundStudiosTamil]

Thanks Joe, it's one of the best tutorials for Studio One!

[@SarahKayaComson]

this actually best feature in studio one! of course there are so many other crazy ones!

[@vbmaster]

How can I add multiple loop patterns in one song? For example my verse and chorus have different patterns and maybe at the last beat I can add some fillins. Thanks.

[@BobbyHodosi]

I love your videos Joe. Great Job!

[@babydufus]

omg. watched this first thing in the morning. you had me in tears (laughter) and hopefully set the mood for my day as well as teaching me something. thanks joe!

[@hermestrismegistus2163]

Finally, a good video for a total noon like me. This is so helpful and so well explained. Thank you so much. Subscribed ❤

[@xDirtyDeedx]

I'm so very grateful to you for making this.. I have looked everywhere trying to figure out how to use impact. I never seen anything this simple or how to use this method. I kept trying to use my keyboard as a pad, which worked but after recording anything I'd hit stop and the recording would disappear?? Still don't know why that happens. But now I see a way to do it from start to finish. Thank you

[@rpiston]

Thanks. I needed exactly this and will watch again as suggested. Your style is effective, creates learning links in my brain, and is also fun and relatable.

[@officialWWM]

This is great. Can I play the parts in with an electric drum kit?

[@ziggerwebdesign1704]

Great vid, thanks so much. I'll remember you when I'm famous.

[@senseisharktv7380]

This explains things so well! I have been struggling with my DAW for the last few months but this helped clear some stuff up! THX!

Schmoopy is from that Paul Reiser show 20yrs ago - my wife and I loved that!

[@r0cketride]

Just starting to use the program and this video was quite helpful as I know nothing of the program. Looking forward to learning more. Thank you!

[@larrycurry9511]

Thanks, Joe. Good video. Please fix the midi cycle loop recording to not erase controller events on the next cycle. Thanks.

[@daviddogvane]

Why will it not lengthen the drum pattern when I grab and drag It to the right? Drum loop won't extend. What am I doing wrong?

[@Vancity-2000]

great video, very helpful, thank you, I'm just in trouble to make my drum track for the guitar I've recorded, my guitar track have different tempos, how can we set the tempo for the drum track ?

[@Ian_KH]

Fantastic tutorial. I've just begun using Studio one and this is just what I needed to know.

[@AbhisekChakravorty]

HI Joe thanks for this video , how do I individually eq or let say add an effect only on the snare , or may be eq the high hat a bit or may be the kick

[@rilumrhythm7576]

Thankyou very much Joe. I enjoy with your video. Pls make a video how to move audio event left and right. I am using Studio one Prime edition 5.3. I can't do it. I am Sintalis Sankli from North East India.

[@grooveballoon2844]

just press option + left or right !!

[@ajcreavibz]

This guy made me love studio one ❤

[@njt_music96]

Thanks for a great video Joe. You can also use the '/ ' button to turn the loop on as well.

[@Tung68karaoke]

i hope you will read my comment, i'm a fan of studio one vietnam, i hope the update to studio one will fix the error of not being able to connect directly to izotope Rx, when done processing and save opposite studio one

[@inbetweendayz90]

I have been using EZ drummer but I want more control over the beats.. But I want to use the same drum kit that I have been using for years in EZ drummer, is there a way to port the EZ drummer kit to impact in studio one??

[@justinharkins6922]

Great video! I've been playing around with impact. How's the best way to write beats in different time signatures?

[@johnnylizardjohnnylizard]

Great video !!! I learned better what I had already seen the other day in another video. It should be added that you can also create VARIATIONS of the pattern by accessing the inspector of the pattern itself. And then for example to have loops for the basic rhythm and loops with cuts that are then positioned where we want in the track through the usual methods of cutting and pasting, etc.

[@ygung]

Thank you for your video. Is there a rewind button on my physical keyboard ? I am on windows 11 home.

[@JeffSmith-pj7rm]

Dude! This exactly what I do before I take some riffs to my drummer. And could not figure it out. Thank you! Bout to try it

[@grenner23]

Thank you Joe! I've created my drum loop but how do I use the loop to overdub and have the drum loop continue while the vox or amplifier input is recording beyond the length of the loop? Having trouble finding anything on that.

[@rilumrhythm7576]

Hi Joe I enjoyed learning your tutorial videos. This is the video's what I really expected to learn from you. I learnt a lot and at the same time it's really funny for me. Thankyou very very much sir.

[@mikeciresi3697]

Cool session, the one part that I'm not latching onto; is how once you hover over Tempo and get the Tap Tempo map, how do you the actual tapping? How does SO recognize it, do you click with the mouse or is the mic picking up your snapping?

[@scots9485]

Thanks for the great videos, Joe. You have an awesome, easy to understand and very humorous way of presenting the material. Thanks for going back and reviewing a process step each time. It helps to see it twice, once to understand WHAT you are doing, the 2nd time to retain HOW. Bravo, Sir! Subscribed.

[@djdanielson4445]

REALLY liked the manner of coverage that TOTALLY is USEFUL. THANK YOU. :D

[@devotedfusionband]

Hey Joe! Love your videos very much. HOWEVER, I came across an issue that I want to address. I was using the "Retro Kit" from Impact, and as I was tracking a drum part, I notice that the "Hi Hat 2" part is actually being played in the SNARE mix channel instead of the Hi Hat channel. Is there any possible way for me to fix this issue? Or is this just preset from Impact?

[@classicdisaster3766]

Best tutorial ever.

[@ReedJksn]

Thanks Joe!!! Best DAW Ever!!!

[@iantaylor917]

Just what I needed, Joe! Many thanks

[@Mad_Bun]

Im working on the PC version, and I don’t understand how you got the drums to loop. I turned on the loop at the bottom but it doesn’t repeat. Please help :(

[@anievestor]

Thank you Joanna I knew about this before but you made it look so simple so I will try it again especially when you can create additional patterns

[@charris524]

I love your videos. How can you add like a loop or oneshot to a Pattern? I want it to last longer than a beat.

[@meandmy5003]

Shmoopy is a Seinfeld reference. Great video! Thank you!

[@ChrisGalesMusic]

Dude. This is great stuff. Thank you so much.

[@stevehodson7281]

[@Greenaresy]

Excellent tutorial! Very easy to follow.

[@phongpham4337]

Thank you for explaining this thoroughly!

[@TheSnoozeButton25]

I'm clicking "Convert Part to Pattern" and nothing is popping up. What's wrong?

[@djhappybuddha]

thanks! very expressive. hi from Russia!

[@mantis707]

exactly what i was looking for as a beginner

[@backplomer]

Wow, you just fully enlightened me trying to make a drum beat,thanks heaps 💯💯💯

[@dhpstudios2009]

I’ve seen a lot video,s about making drumloops , but only in signature 4/4 can you show me also in 3/4. Because when I set all parameters to 3/4 it doesn’t work in editwindow

[@TwinParksBX]

How would you make this drum beat sound less mechanical? It’s exactly on the grid

[@JGlassy]

Exactly, too mechanical. A little syncopation (?) might help, or it would be nice to implement this using ‘swing 8ths’ etc. a good start though.

[@David-nf7mf]

Not only is this great information...or education....um shmootification? (I really don't know what that means lol) but you make it fun too. Very awesome 👌 Thanks!

[@tonys_room]

Great tutorial. Will definitely use it. Thanks!

[@New_Apostolic_Church_Dzaleka]

I like it, so is possible to loop instrument like Keyboard ?

[@jameshutchins7042]

Joe how do you change the colors if your kick snare hi hat etc in pattern mode. I only get orange. In pattern mode I see the color change by doing it by pitch. But I do not see how to make my kick red. Hi hat purlpe Snare red. Plz reveal this mystery once and for all. THANK YOU.

[@leahm10]

I was wondering how to change my time signature for the drum pattern? I need it to be in 6/8 but it's in 4/4 I have another question, how do you turn down the volume for the different percussion parts? I tried doing it in the mixing area, but it didn't change anything

[@ZekeyT90]

Greet video. I'd been using the midi way instead of the pattern for ages now! My only question is.. Is there a way that if you want to add say a 2nd kick to one part. How do you do that without changing the beat for the whole song? Do you just create a 2nd variation of the pattern and put it in where you want it changed?

[@manandguitar]

How do I add a variation during the loop without creating a separate drum track?
