Studio One 4: How to Use the Chord Track

[@larswillsen]

You just saved med hours, only needed a fast test before manually reconstructing entire tracks - I needed to find the perfect pitch for the singer, and this came in handy (long distance, so no piano / guitar method). Its actually pretty handy :D

[@annastash3887]

I appreciate your taking the time to explain as studio one and producing on a whole is a new concept to me. This is indeed helpful.

[@Obedia]

Glad we could help! Please sub for more!

[@kalreet7025]

Thanks for this clear, ordered and well spoken explanation!

[@Obedia]

Glad it was helpful!

I will use this video to fall asleep, when I go to bed.

[@mark092600]

I thought I was doing everything right, but it doesn't actually change the audio. It changes the chord on the display as soon as I click a different chord on the circle of fifths, but the audio is still the same chord I started with. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm using version 5.1, btw. I don't know if something has changed or if there's a new setting I need to fix, but I'm following this as closely as I can with the newer version.

This is a high quality tutorial, which nicely unpacks the Chord Track, shows what it can do, and HOW to use it. Please ignore the naysayers and complainers. Everything presented is relevant, well organized, and well-explained. I can't imagine how to better cover the information any better, nor in a shorter time without losing or confusing people. Thank you Obedia, even if there are a few who try to put digs on you!

[@lazyabeats]

Thanks for detailed explanation. Especially for audio examples, which is somewhat harder to understand that basic midi notes relationships. By the way what is the easiest way to drop/record current progression from chord track to midi track?

Glad it helped

[@DavidCoffinshirtguy]

Excellent, detailed intro, perfectly suited to my needs, thank you!

[@JimJWalker]

Great pace. I enjoyed the depth. Especially as a new user to Studio One.

[@davidweisman9312]

Question: notice the transition between the 1st and 2nd chords sounds kind of strange? do you know if there's a way to fix that?

[@colemartin9077]

I don't see the option to change the settings for parallel or anything about the chords to the left of my tracks. Help please.

[@soundsfromYYBY]

you break it down very understandable

[@iodinedesign]

Awesome video!!! Thanks for posting!

[@davidblunnt]

The chord track option doesnt show up in my computer...... how do i open it???

[@Obedia]

Make sure you have the right version of Studio One.

[@adammeredith2117]

WOW!!I am a pure LOGIC PRO X user. But I was always curious about Studio One. Because I heard so much about it - from other musicians. What is about third parties plugins? What format is Studio One using?

[@Obedia]

Studio One uses VST and Audio Units (on Mac), and VST on Windows, as well as VST III on both platforms. Thanks!

[@SacredMusicTribe]

okayyyyy so how do u open chord track??lol

[@Koenteboent]

He literally shows it @ 1:00.....

[@gregwilliams2764]

I’ll be calling and joining. I have one 5. And this is all new to me .im a drummer. But I want to lear all this stuff. I have ez drummer SD3, ez bass, ez keys, ez mix, most of all the ezx’s and midi grooves. Greg

[@Obedia]

Awesome! We can't wait to work with you. Give us a call when you're ready! Mention this video and we'll give you 15 bonus minutes.

[@letsplayharmonica]

Hello, friend! There's something strange on my Studio One. The 'follow chords' option for MIDI track doesn't appear for me in the inspector as shown in 05:40. Besides that, the MIDI events don't change when I transpose the chords. Could you explain why?

[@Obedia]

Well, the MIDI wouldn't transpose if you didn't have "follow chords" enabled. Are you sure you're looking in the right location? You are using Studio One's latest version?

22 mins to say what could have been said in 3. You are not speaking to sub normal children, most people that have Studio one could figure the chord track out in 5 mins tops which begs the question, who is this video aimed at?

[@entyce66]

The title does say how to use the chord track so you could’ve just moved on to what you are looking for dude since you’re an expert in this area

[@jamestucker457]

Painfully slow. Additionally, he doesn't breakdown the process. But mauls over things, skimming along until you want to pull your hair out from little to no information. 5 minutes in was all I could take.

[@mineheadX1]

I agree, it's painful to sit through 22mins of this when it can be summed in 2 mins...wtf can"t you export MIDI data from Chord Track ? I was hoping that was the function of it in the first place...the only sane reason to detect the chords is to use the MIDI data I would think...but no, that's not what it does...

[@StopchangingMyHandlePunk]

@@entyce66 hahaha

[@brianmi40]

You can just drag the audio clip up and drop on the chord track... saves a click or two.

[@ressikan8070]

Kind of annoying that you can't just drag the chords you identified into midi tracks.

[@oped100]

Obviously knowledgeable speaker, friendly voice - but this well-intentioned video is extraordinarily wordy! How do you create an instructional video that takes so long to get off the ground and takes about 10 minutes to get to any actual sound examples? This video needs to be completely re-evaluated and re-thought out. And it needs a good editor! As someone before me said, this is a 22 minute video to say what could have been offered in three minutes. A lot of work went into this video, the author knows his stuff, but it is regrettable that what should’ve been an exciting commentary on a really fascinating new music software program has been turned into a listless, mind numbingly dull lecture that reminds me of my dry economics professor lectures that I suffered through in college so many years ago.

[@StopchangingMyHandlePunk]

I'm actually even lost coz I cant concentrate...tutorials aren't for everyone ! he makes it seem so complicated lol. Right now I'd rather stick to melodyne until I find a better demostrator.

[@jammer777]

Blah, blah, blah.. wish you would've just gotten to the point.

[@Obedia]

Thanks for your amazingly insightful and helpful comment!

[@jammer777]

Sorry man, you just take so long to get to the point. I do appreciate your efforts to help though.

[@Obedia]

@@jammer777 the request from Presonus was to make a long form video that focused on all of the functions of the chord track. That was the point. Thanks

[@chaddonal4331]

[@gerarddewar9710]

Yes, thanks for the info , not sure if your charging per minute for advice, but you really need to use less words! lol

[@keithdunwoody1302]

I disagree. I think it was exactly the right amount of words.

[@fritzalokoa2893]

Too much talking. too much info on all you explanation so it just confusing

[@Obedia]

And yet it takes talking to explain something. Thanks
