Great job, just slow enough to follow, and fast enough to not bore us. And you didn't talk over our heads. Thank you. Now going back to your earlier tutorials on this software.

[@natalieasport551]

Awesome video! And a lot of helpful tips and techniques for creating good recording workflows. Thanks!

[@marvintodd2829]

Sir" you just single handedly turned my learning curve from upside down--- to rightside up, I will forever be thankfull . As primary songwriter bassplayer for a southern rock band 80s to early 90s I had very little hope that a simi low tec no tec Grandfather like myself could ever produce music like our sound engineer did for us back in the day (we called it sound guy or volenteer from radio shack or next door nieghbor) my purchase, and download of studio one artist version experience went very well. Your tutorial vids just made it come together for me like a well oiled machine, Cant wait to get the booster pack, and try easy drummer, or maybe some of the other individual downloads . GodBless

[@dannylharper6889]

Great Video! Thank you for the help!

[@bushmain]

Dude! Props for your patient, complete approach. You taught good.

[@MarioMegatallica]

This is the video I needed in 2013... Anyway, thanx for sharing it.

[@nathanbell4823]

Thank you for the excellent instructions and you explain it step by step something I can appreciate being an old head.

[@jfreib4]

Great video! I just bought a Spark amp, which includes PreSonus Studio One. I play guitar and bass, but not drums. I was hoping Studio One would have a feature that would allow me to easily add a simple drum track. This video rang the bell. Thanks!!

[@markholley]

Thanks for covering this, it looks I was on the right track, but I felt like the files should go up against each other easier, not having to zoom in so closely to align, it does seems like there should be a better way for the DAW to assist? Much appreciated though!

[@donnywaynecurtis4249]

It is good to learn at least one thing a day, well today you taught me at least six things. Thank you for your work

[@HarleyBob957]

Excellent video..thanks for the great tips..

[@freekmusbach8722]

Man this is soooo helpful. Recording stuff I need a drumloop or a pattern and not a metronome although in studios im pretty good at playing songs in with click track. big YAY!

[@aguitarcalledchutzpah]

Great vid! Very helpful. Keep it up!

[@colincannings7946]

Just watched the Drum track intro, and followed along, with my version of Studio One 3. should I be able to play back and hear the track, because I can't. any suggestion as how I can over come this.

[@massbrutality2337]

Labeling the the intro and verse etc was very helpful....🤘

[@georgiebearpaws]

Great video. But,I dragged the loops onto the track, and wanted to listen to everything strung together, but noticed, I have no scroll bar scrolling?? Not sure if it's a bug, or something I turned off. 4 days later back to edit this post: found I can get my scroll bar visible again if I don't maximize the app on my monitor, and make it a little smaller in size.But, the scroll bar still comes and goes,and I need to open a midi track "graph editor" to make it appear, then it disappears when I view "Console".

[@DjBlackCharmMusic]

How do I get my loops to sound like audition on playback?. My loops sounds compressed..

[@duncanfoley3254]

Hi, at about 4 minutes into the video, you mention that you need a Booster pack to record EZ Drummer with S1 Artist. Can i just make sure i've got this right? Do you need a booster pack for S1 PRO V4 (which is what i have) or is it only required for the Artist version? I was under the impression that i would only need to get a Midi pad (Akai Mini Mk2) for drum programming.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Trouble is, my Studio One (v2.6.5.30360)doesn't have a 'loops' section. My program came with the Audiobox usb. Seems you have to pay out $00's to get the full program. So, open source it is for me. The program doesn't seem good enough to warrant an upgrade of that price. I would have preferred to have a time limited but full version, since I can't make a sound judgement on a product that is limited.

[@bryscorpio]

Thanks for this!!

[@mitchellrandtruen8496]

Awesome job ...

[@jamesvicente6379]

but how do you record your drums with studio one 4 prime?

[@TheNtizda]

did you ever rotate your mattress?

[@jorgeferrer77]

hahaha I just thought the same thing 😂

[@thegreath.sapiensapien6907]

hahahah what that to do with the tutorial lol.

[@MrLongisland70]

Does it have preset timing? Can I automatically change a beat to halftime??

[@davidreidy5750]

I have to try this cause sometimes recording my own live drum tracks could take half the day as a solo artist(recording,monitoring)also the faderport v2 is on my scopes this holiday.⚡🤖⚡

[@mitchellrandtruen8496]

Hey ,I are you going to offer any streaming on using Faderport 16?

[@uptownphotography]

I watched this video again and very instructive and nicely explained. Can I ask a question about tracks please. How do you make all the tracks have less height (shrink them) so that you could for instance, see 24 tracks on the screen all at once? I would like to collapse all the tracks in one move rather then individually. Thanks as always. Phil NYC Area

[@nicholaijohn148]

i have a question i don't have monitors as yet, can i do what you are doing with just headphones or do i need both. Pretty new to this.

[@JEFFGUITAR]

I bought the pack but the download/install button does not appear. Why is this?

[@rohan-ghosh]

Can you record your guitar to one drum preset (and follow the bpm) and then change the drum preset and try different ones?

[@georgemateos]

Hi Uncle Dave. Can I record the instrument of the first track to a 2nd track without triggering the instrument of the first track? Thanks

[@mariaurbina9980]

Which software did you download? The $99 dollar one?

[@graphman8402]

Thx bruv, luv ya man!

[@ericstandefer9138]

I have artist 2.0 and the drum loops are not in it. If I upgrade to artist 5.0 will I then have them?

[@yeahhhhh9209]

Thank you ! does it support for free vst plugins like mt powerdrum or ampli for free?

[@RockVoice4Real]

I just now ran into a new problem in S1, When I record a track It's recording faster than the other tracks. How do I fix this???? This has never happened before.

[@Vancity-2000]

Is it possible to import mp3 or MIDI file of a drum track?

[@uptownphotography]

Nice video.... Phil NYC Area

[@victorlob4033]

thank you

[@backplomer]

Thanks mate 👍

[@sangredetoro83]

3:17-4:15 thank you for this information.

[@gregwilliams2764]

How do I make a wav or mp3 file to export how do I set markers

[@MrTom1379]

Excellent

[@rio197]

Happy birthday, Heather!

[@Vancity-2000]

Hello David, is it possible to have a drum track with two different tempo?

[@geoffpippin]

I think so, if you right-click the track and change the tempo that appears in the drop-down menu that appears. Maybe that should work?

[@blessingsthroughfaith6313]

I'm confused, when you added the 1st track to the intro it looked like there was a slightl overlap.

[@indranilbanerjee5521]

How can I sync a drums loop with a pre played adio track

[@fishnmetal4383]

I want to record my V Drums is there a video for that please

[@JRLEY]

Ctrl key in Windows, not the Windows key... Great videos, though!

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

yea, yea, yea....lol.....Im not a windows guy....sorry :)

[@JRLEY]

@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Haha, all good, just wanted to clarify for windows folks. Your videos are still immensely helpful!

[@RiffMusic1970]

Thank you! I would’ve been pulling my hair out on that windows key.

[@ribusgan]

Not sure how the penciling in the arranger works. How did the pencil tool know the fourth event was a chorus and not a verse or a bridge? Is it following a 4 part template?

[@RiffMusic1970]

I think it’s labeled that way in the browser. As in, they come already labeled but can be changed if you want.

[@brendacaunter5480]

Could you do an updated tutorial for this for studio one professional 6 please

[@chrissmith7259]

Thanks from a non musician just learning Studio One 5.

[@chrislubi4874]

Hi there Just to get this straight. In order to be able to use EZdrummer I have to purchase the following combination: Studio One 4 Artist + Booster Pack ~$189 on top of EZdrummer itself ~$120. So to sum it up I'll end up buying software for roughly $300. Did I got this right? Best Regards Chris

[@omarjacome89]

Yes

[@ArminThapa]

Yeah thank you but if you play this track with the metronome on they are not in sync. U can just tell by looking at the waves.

[@tracy420bckfrd]

When I open any folder, it just opens it. Nothing seems to be inside.

[@Misza225]

You have to install it after download. You can do that by pressing arrow in Studio One and choose every single package you download.

[@santhoshsamuel6019]

Can you use get good drums with studio one?

[@presonus]

You bet!! :) -GBY

[@jo-e-zinfuso5429]

👍👍👍👍

[@saminahuq6779]

How can i record acoustic drum track here?

[@sidthebassist89]

Use microphones and an interface, create your tracks for each mic and configure each microphone track to its proper input.

[@tadgaulke3072]

When I click on "Browse" and select "Loops" up at the top of the window, the window comes up unpopulated - blank. What am I doing wrong?

[@ethangoodman6906]

Idk if u figured out yet but you need to download loops

[@ethangoodman6906]

I love how you called it unpopulated instead of empty. Using that from now on

[@songwritersstorytellers4110]

Seriously, thinking about PreSonus. Thanx for the info.

[@ericstandefer9138]

Be sure you understand which version you need. Artist, pro etc, They are very different and not cheap to upgrade. I made the mistake and got Artist, and no mastering.

[@lariconesbitt2630]

Loops are find but but there are not enough of them that is why I use different drum machines and hand program a drum pattern

[@mariaurbina9980]

I’m getting an apple MacBook Pro for this any suggestions?

[@GuitarSlayer136]

Theres actually not a lot of reason to get this if your getting a mac, this isn't mac specific software and its not revolutionary. There are tons of Mac specific software with insane tools like auto drummers and tons of free instruments that you can use that are cheap or free with a mac. I like studio 1 but if I dropped 1.5k on a laptop id want to get the software that it buys me. Because I could easily build an absolute monster pc and buy protools for the same price.

[@PNWGuitar]

Get logic

[@Sponsi_PL]

Waves suck. How do you actually create a tracker type of a drum loop? Like you edit it - you put kick here, hihat there, etc.?

[@officialWWM]

The problem with using loops is that you can't mix them. You're stuck with whatever the maker decided on.

[@gregwilliams2764]

How do I move ezKeys ez drummer superior drummer3 in artist

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

no loop option in my version. Studio One 2

[@ericstandefer9138]

Did you ever find an answer, I am looking for this too.

[@ericmichalowski9582]

Bought Studio one Artist then upgraded to Professional so I could install EZdrummer 2 into studio professional. Tried everything , no luck. HELP anyone. Thanks

[@lastofthemadtierneys169]

13:46 Pee Wee Herman: "I meant to do that."

[@shadowmixx]

Did U take Heather out for her birthday? 23:54 :;)

[@lastofthemadtierneys169]

That's why he has to rotate his mattress if you know what I mean

[@1BadSavage]

you look up how to program drums and I can't even pull this shit up to get where you started!

[@RiffMusic1970]

That intro is driving me crazy. Why does it start on 2? 🤪

[@boipeyton]

I got distracted when you said “EMD”

[@ribusgan]

No "jazz" drum loops?

[@pbenson56fran]

Try loop master. Com

[@robseymour5830]

All nice and good but there are no samples for Country. Folk may work.

[@mailmaxxxx]

"I did that on purpose" haha!

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

What he doesn't say here, is that the version of Studio One software that comes with your midi device, i.e. Audiobox USB, is not worth bothering with, more than half of the functionality is disabled and you are forced to pay out for the full program if you want to use it. Which comes in around £200. Personally, I'd use a third party product. But that is just my opinion.

[@ribusgan]

Ctrl key in windows, not windows key

[@skibbitybopity]

EMD is the best genre

[@lastofthemadtierneys169]

It's the genre that EMF is in. You're unbelievable.

[@bencharddonnacadelus8092]

I can’t undo my tracks

[@MrMallum]

Addictive Drums is better in my humble opinion

[@user-xx9zc5px8v]

الترجمه. سريعه. يعني. لزم. اركب. طياره. عشان. الحق عليها

[@garethc3448]

Is this video about making 'a drum track' actually seriously just saying "drag in the 1 loop option that is included with Studio one"? I mean that is not 'how to create a drum track', that's literally just click and drag the stuff that's already there into the other window pane. Shit out of luck if you actually want to make anything with a drum beat different to the SINGLE loop that it shows in that video.

[@dvs_osc6649]

Archy Petro Right even garage band has automatic drum tracking How to map an entire song on my phone takes about four seconds with a basic drumbeat with this program you have to shell out 100 bucks fuck that shit

[@scottchastain3900]

Don't forget Heather's birthday.

[@hardymaritz1222]

So your song will sound like everyone elses, or am I missing something?

[@lastofthemadtierneys169]

And that's why you don't use loops if you want to be original.

[@pietrotrentin7741]

I hope he didn't forget to rotate the mattress

[@lastofthemadtierneys169]

Like what is that even about?

[@peteboogie4691]

Click beat studio one

[@hugaukulele]

Bbb

[@veerchasm1]

Forget music, save the mattress!

[@lastofthemadtierneys169]

It's in the Metrodome.

[@b2wtkagm]

So easy that the vid is 24 min lol

[@jgsmachine1776]

"Made Easy"...

[@Digmen1]

I want to create my own drum track from scratch - sorry - click bait titile

[@therealjackfisher]

What the fuck was that? Thats your drum track? With all drums in one track?

[@matteociciliot5628]

.... between the first loop and the second, you're completely out of time. It's better if you restudy the metronome. No good

[@manutdfantv5535]

That's not recording really it's dragging loops in and manipulating them

[@justinpompeii9409]

100% not worth the time
