[@colindavidreese9538]

This is way more information than my brain can handle - and much more than I need. I do Audiobooks - and all I need is to know how to record, edit, punch & roll and noise reduction. The presentation looks great for those who need it - congratulations! But my mind went into overload after about 15 minutes. (result of my misspent youth?) Can you help?

[@quantaaudio]

I would recommend using the chapter index in the comment that I pinned. Or, read the manual focusing on the chapters that are relevant to what you want to learn. Also, unless you're going to be sending your recording to a mixing engineer, you're going to need to know a lot more then the several things you listed. I also provide one-on-one training: quantaaudio.com/webtraining

can you change the color used during recording?

[@NLGVIDEOS2]

Excellent Job! I just started using Studio one and was looking for a good training course. I have one question are the faders on my PreSonus AR12c suppose to follow what's on the computer screen? If I move a fader in the mixer should the fader motion show up on the app?

[@quantaaudio]

Glad you found the tutorial helpful and thanks for watching. I am not familiar with the AR12c, so I would refer to the manual to see if it is compatible as a controller for Studio One.

[@dilrakilicc]

In fl studio, in the arrangement area, you know, we can arrange a kick as a wav track with one click, and then we can delete the wav we put with one click again by clicking on it. can you do the same feature in studio one?

[@stevenrachko9728]

Do you do a ono on one privatly for prosuse live mixer recorder ? How can i get a personal emsil or phone to tall about this

[@quantaaudio]

My contact information is in the description area and comment section of every one of my videos.

[@jackjuraco]

Absolutely, a terrific video (which I haven't finished). But a basic question--involving connections (not really mentioned in the video). I'm connected via an AudioBox USB 96 with a PC (USB directly, not thru a hub) and a Roland keyboard (TSR from keyboard to input 2). I have not connected any speakers, but I've connected HD7 headphones into the AudioBox. I can record it seems, but I hear nothing thru my headphones. I hear the keyboard only. My Windows Sound settings, for both record and playback, show the AudioBox. Any thoughts?

[@alisafarpour5638]

hey. tnx for the tutotial but I've got a it of problem in min:"13:22" where you change "impact S1" value from default to sth else. i dont have any other option but default and that doesn't make a sound! Plus i have no loops and i got the pro version. any idea how to fix that?

[@E-utube]

What was your previous daw? S1 is not attractive to u compared with Bitwig ?

[@lartisan6274]

but why to be " married " to just one daw ? its a not woman, u can use many daw. now there is .DawProject for open a project bitwig to studio one . its more powerful, and its not same daw

[@MickeyAndBlueDoTheWorld]

Hey how would I troubleshoot when I see my audio signal but it doesn’t record it? Thanks for the tutorial!

[@quantaaudio]

There could be any number of issues. It'd be difficult to say, without seeing your actual song and how things are set. I do offer one-on-one training in Studio One if you continue to have issues. quantaaudio.com/webtraining

Can't get the music track to record even though it's on record

[@eggsclusive12]

Hello....as far as you know, does one have to pay to upgrade from Studio One 6 pro to 6.5. or is the paid upgrade only from 6 to 6.6......their change in policy is a REAL bummer !!! I cannot find the info on their site. I bought 6 pro last year, but then became ill and have just got things back together enough to install and start using....then I heard about this ridiculous subscription model....!!....thanks

[@quantaaudio]

I'm not sure if you have the option to upgrade to version 6.5 for free. If you purchased a perpetual license then I believe you can. Just try it and see. I think it would be when version 7 arrives that you would need to pay for that upgrade. Nothing really changes for perpetual license owners, it's just that they've added the new "hybrid" thing. The ridiculous thing that HAS changed is that they now hide all of their addons behind the subscription plan and professional users also do not get the new synthesizer either. All of this is really crappy and devious in my opinion. But I can't switch DAWs because I'm too invested in S1. Sucks.

[@eggsclusive12]

@@quantaaudio Ok..thankyou for your reply. I will try it and see. I too, think this new subscription thing sucks.....loads of companies are trying to do it. Some new twerp either buys or takes over the company and comes up with these stupid ideas out of greed and laziness.....all they end up doing is pissing of loyal customers.....a real shame because IMHO Presonus have been a very good company till now.

[@FlopsyGuitarBunny]

If I buy this and need to reinstall on a new computer in the future, am I able to do that? Also can I install it on my desktop and laptop?

[@quantaaudio]

You can install Studio One on up to 5 different devices with a single license.

[@wormwood078]

S1 or Reaper? for someone just looking to write and track guitars and other instruments at home.. Nothing fancy.

[@quantaaudio]

If you just want to track guitars and "nothing fancy". Get Studio One Prime. It's free. There's some drama surrounding Presonus and Studio One at the moment, but if I'll be honest, Prime would be the way to go for you, in my opinion. Even though I'm disliking their tactics for license owners, at the moment.

[@wormwood078]

@quantaaudio Thanks man! Will def look in to that one. Do you know if it runs heavy on computer space?

[@hombre_loco]

wich option is for live streaming switch?

[@john8451]

Excellent video. Slightly off-topic but do you know how the licensing works for Studio One? I travel a lot and would be doing a lot of post-production on my MacBook Pro. Would one software licence cover two machines?

[@quantaaudio]

[@robertschilke6786]

Great video. Ive just downloaded the the Artist software and really needed that beginner tutorial. I've recorded my Edrums via midi the other day but I'm not very happy with the sound so I'll get Ezdrummer 3 and upload it in Studio one eventually. Am i able to keep and use the existing midi drum tracks and just change the sounds from ezdrummer afterwards? That would mean i don't need to record the whole drum track again.

[@quantaaudio]

Glad you appreciate the tutorial, thanks for watching. Absolutely, you can keep the same MIDI recording and just send it to a different VST instrument. This is done within the track header where you see the name of its associated VST instrument.

[@djmikesea]

hi, been using studio one pro for a few months, but my keyboard controller is acting up so looking to replace it. currently have the evolution mk-461c , and looking to buy either the alesis vi61 or the nektar inpact lx61+ is one more user friendly in studio one 5 ? mainly looking to have vsti plugin control. any suggestions ? many thanks not findiong any direct comparisons online, an d would prefer which ever one integrates with studio one 5 the easiest.

Hey, it's not finding my Scarlett Solo interface but Mixcraft is

[@angelomiller6266]

Why did the trial studio 6version screw up my songs that I had in my studio 4. It was just a trial now it has screwed up my stuff I would never try a trial again

[@quantaaudio]

When you try to open a song that was written in an older version of Studio One in a newer version , you are presented with a message stating something along the lines of: "The song you are opening was created with an older version of Studio One, if you continue to open it will no longer work in the older version". So, if you disregarded this message and opened the songs anyway, your songs will be "screwed up" as you say, and you can no longer open them in your older version. In the future I would pay attention to the message and don't open the song if you don't want to lose it, or save entirely new duplicate versions of your songs and open those, so you still have the originals that you can go back to.

30:51 - HOW TO UNDO KEY - SETTING

[@quantaaudio]

Click once to open up the key selection window. Then, click in the empty black area of the key selection window.

[@DuBzarzy]

I downloaded this and loaded it up and the second I loaded a VST and pressed my midi. No sound. I had to watch a tutorial and followed the exact steps. Still, No sound. Loaded up 2 of my other DAWS to test and perfect. Automatic midi. Studio one is not needed.

[@Itsklops]

How can I make a stereo track on channel 1 ..it's mono 😢

[@quantaaudio]

On the left-hand side of Studio One you will see the track column. Look in the track header for "channel one" and you will see a white circle with a hollow center. Click it once and this will change to two circles. The track is now in stereo.

[@Itsklops]

@quantaaudio I am using artist v5...I don't see that circle anywhere

[@quantaaudio]

This is in every version of Studio One, including artist. I cannot provide support for everyone on KZbin so if you're struggling with getting started please visit my website for more information on web training. quantaaudio.com/webtraining

[@MikaelKonradsson]

Does this turtorial work with studio one 4? This seems like a video tailored for me, ive been almost ”scared” to make music and record because daws feel hard to understand

[@baileyboy3687]

Exactly the same scenario although have 5 artist and FL Studio. Would this be applicable to 5 or does it need an upgrade to 6?

[@lartisan6274]

the best thing for learn at 2OO% its to read the Manual pdf, i did with maschine, Fl studio , studioOne has a lot of detail, need spend a lot of hours for use it at 200%

[@benhuramanuel9012]

Great vid bro! This is completly unrelated but Im having troubles recoring my instuments. I press record and the outline that shows I'm recording appears but the keys from the instrument don't register into the recording and and it doesn't save the recording after i end it. there is also a delay on the keys when i try to spam a certain key(like building momentum for the beat drop). Any idea on how to fix these issues? Thanks! ( I'm on studio one 6, the most updated version).

[@abolit]

It's a nice looking DAW but crashes too often.

[@quantaaudio]

I never have crashes. It could be a 3rd-party plugin that you have installed.

[@abolit]

No, it's not. It crashes w/o 3rd-party plugins. Go to forums where musicians talk about SO and you will see for yourself. Very unstable DAW.

[@quantaaudio]

@@abolit You can go to the forums of most any DAW and you will find people complaining of instability. For most people who are not having problems, they don't post comments on YT or in forums. Until you poll every single user of any given DAW, you cannot make such a broad claim as you have. If it was as bad as you say, it would not be as popular as it is.
