Over a decade I've been waiting for this. 10+ YEARS. Now I can have different drum kits/mixes instantly, all mixed, all routed correctly. Man, this will save me months of my life. No need to build an all-in-one template anymore with 300+ orchestral tracks. I can drag in what I need when I need it. So hyped for Black Friday. I may never need to upgrade Studio One again. UI is still pretty uninspiring though.

[@SteliosMusic]

The already brilliant UI, now looks even better.

[@andressarmiento384]

These are invaluable tools for composing with orchestral samples in Studio One. Thank you so much as always Lukas!

[@ECASTdaProducer]

2024 and I just learner about this!!! Great explanation! Thank!!!

[@tam_ryan1036]

Really useful Lucas, thanks so much! What a great new addition (along with the new video options) … and perfect timing too as I’ve finally given up with the current version of Logic Pro! They have a track import option but nothing like as comprehensive and workflow-friendly as this! Thanks again. 🙂

[@SteliosMusic]

Wonderful feature! The new macro control layout looks amazing, too. Thanks for explaining things so clearly.

Hey! Thanks, and glad you like it. I'm working on the next tutorial right NOW :D

[@muziksculp2r]

@@studioonetutorials That's wonderful . Thanks Looking forward to see what it is about. Oh, I need to watch more of your tutorials, i.e. the one about Studio One Scoring Tools, and some of the later posts you added recently.

The inclusion of the delay and full routing and finally pushing me to move to a barebones orchestral template setup with everything ready to go as track presets. Very nice!

[@studioonetutorials]

I agree... it's also the way I work.

[@chaddonal4331]

@@studioonetutorials So, do you preset your standard bussing, panning, and effects channels in the console, and then make sure that every track preset you create conforms? (i.e. as if creating a big template, but doing it modularly, gradually?)

[@KennethMalmMusic]

Hey Lukas, when dragging multiple tracks over to the track preset browser it combines them all in a single preset, like you showed in your video. However, is there a way to move multiple tracks over and have them save as individual presets? As example, if you moved your entire CSS string section over, you would get 5 individual presets, instead of 1 combined?

[@studioonetutorials]

Hi Kenneth! Currently not, no. But it would be really useful!

[@NeuroPete]

Thanks so much for explaining this so well! I am interested in orchestral programming, and this approach seems much better for me than creating a huge template with thousands of tracks. I especially like the idea of saving a group of tracks as a preset. For example, I can see myself saving several groups of string instruments, some bigger, and some more intimate. Also, I wasn't aware of the vocoder track preset, which I will definitely try out. A while back, I had tried to use the Arturia vocoder instrument, but S1 did not support using an audio track as a source, which, if I understand correctly, V6 now does. I had to resort to using a the OVox effect, which was great, but it would have been nice to have the Arturia vocoder as an option. Again, thanks for the terrific review of this new feature.

[@studioonetutorials]

Glad you like it! Yes, it's true, V6 allows sidechain audio input for instrument plug-ins!

[@artist1303]

My mixing templates that I created in Pro 5 didn't show up in the upgrade to Pro 6. Any tips on how to get them into Pro 6? Also once the upgrade from 5 to 6 is complete will it be OK to go into my C:// drive and delete all studio one pro 5 files to clean up some hard ware space?

[@studioonetutorials]

Right-click your templates in Studio One 5 and select "Show in Explorer". Now you can see where your V5 templates are located. Now you just need to make sure that Studio One 6 looks at the same location - in the Options.

[@richardsmithson4453]

Find the v5 templates, duplicate it and rename it to v6

[@cachelesssociety5187]

Does this exist in FL Studio?

[@rautshsale1948]

is this S1 6 pro only or also available in artist edition?

[@studioonetutorials]

As far as I see it's not available in the Artist version.

[@jeromeweaver809]

Thank you! Studio One, my choice DAW keeps getting better. I love the lyrics feature, so I can sing along with my beats.

You're very welcome.

[@jbalancomposer9899]

Hey Lukas, I just upgraded (couldn't wait til Black Friday). I notice at 5:35 you load a track preset which includes busses. Is there a way to include FX too? My example: I have a drum kit, multi output (kick, snare, etc). This feeds into a bus called Drums. It also has an FX channel for parallel compression called Crush. Is it possible to combine all of this (Bus, FX and individual channels) into a track preset? So far I've managed to combine the individual channels and the bus channel, but can't figure out how to include the FX channel :( Hope this makes sense

[@studioonetutorials]

Hey, yes, FX channels should be stored automatically as soon as they're used somewhere in the routing of the track in the Track Preset. So if you're track goes into a bus and this bus uses sends (FX channels), they should all be stored and recalled with the Track Preset. Are you sure they were all connected when you saved the Track Preset...?

[@jbalancomposer9899]

The whole drum kit is going through a drum bus and the kick and snare were being also being sent to the Crush FX channel. It preserves the FX send levels but not the FX channel itself :( If I can somehow have everything saved as one, I'll be super happy as it will save a tonne of time and headache in the future:)

[@studioonetutorials]

@@jbalancomposer9899 I just tried it again with Addictive Drums, multiple outputs, one of them going into a Bus and this Bus having a Send (FX Channel). Then I stored a Track Preset for this track and loaded this in a new song. All multi outs, the busses and all the FX channels were recalled. If that does not work on your side, you probably should make a support ticket and describe your case (perhaps provide the song so that we can reproduce the issue or figure out what's going on there). But what you describe should definitely be possible.

[@jbalancomposer9899]

It's working now. I didn't try anything different. I have no idea why it wasn't working earlier. The only thing I did differently was send the whole drum bus to the FX first, save as track preset and drag it back in and it worked. I have no idea what's going on. As long as it's working now though I don't mind so much but it was strange that it wouldn't work earlier.. Thanks man, apologies for taking your time on a Sunday like this, I do appreciate it though!

[@studioonetutorials]

@@jbalancomposer9899 You're welcome! Good to hear it's working now.

[@tpulse2001]

Can instrument, audio and bus channels incl. Routings etc. combined be saved as a track preset?

[@studioonetutorials]

Yes, totally. It works even with nested busses.

[@tpulse2001]

This is something that i've been waiting for a few years back..only that's worth the upgrade. Imagine a drum preset where there's a multiout from the drum plugin like SD3, routed to all extra buses etc..and save this to a track preset... It can finally be done 🙂

[@petersvan7880]

@@tpulse2001 Sounds great, but can anyone confirm this really works now with multi-outs? Previously, S1 routed always everything to the first out...

[@studioonetutorials]

@@petersvan7880 Yes, it works with multi outs :) Instrument+FX presets stored and recalled Multi Outs as well already in version 5. So it's not true that it routed everything to the first out.

Is automations are also saved with track presets?

[@studioonetutorials]

Currently events or automation are not stored with Track Presets, no.

[@richardsmithson4453]

I do wish you could also save midi and audio data along with the track presets. Is there a way to do this?

[@Chaotikmusic]

I think Ivan Calderon figured this out on one of his videos but I'm not sure, just search his name and check his videos out. What I recall it was more like a workaround and it was actually before the track presets even released.

[@studioonetutorials]

It's not possible with Track Presets... you need to use Song Data Import for that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGnQe5qgl7mkp68

[@NeuroPete]

I haven't tried it myself, but it looks like the music loops feature might do what you need. Here is Gregor Beyerle's video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJnTimSeZa2Ahck&feature=share&EKLEiJECCKjOmKnC5IiRIQ

@@studioonetutorials Too bad. It looked promising.

[@criddyla696]

Track presets don't seem to recall the instrument input which is a shame, anyone have a workaround, for example when using scaler as the input source it reverts to all inputs on recall which doesn't work

[@jenssieckmann]

I just wanted to dive into track presets ... until I saw that these are not available in the Artist version. Would be nice to mention this in the vido description or a sticky comment.

[@studioonetutorials]

Thanks for the feedback. My videos always refer to the Pro version. I think it's obvious that the Artist version is limited in several ways, that's the idea of it. You can look up all the differences in detail on the product page, there's a link to the feature comparison PDF.

[@jenssieckmann]

@@studioonetutorials Thanks Lukas. I had in mind that the differences between Artist and Professional weren't that big when I started out with version 5 (most missing feature was/is the chord track for me). Seems to me that I have to upgrade. Hoping for a BF sale 😉

[@stigc56]

Hi Lukas, it doesn't seem to remember the sound variations! Can that be true??

[@studioonetutorials]

Hi Stig, what do you mean exactly? It stores and recalls the Sound Variation maps fine here.

[@stigc56]

@@studioonetutorials Well I just got Pacific Strings. Created a track for each section and created sound variation maps for each track. Dragging the track header to a folder created a preset - so easy! But when I tested the preset by dragging it into arrangement, the sound variation map was empty, but hey is there something I have forgotten, about how to make sound variations “stick” with an instrument?

[@studioonetutorials]

@@stigc56 Here it works out of the box without any additional work. Are you really sure the Sound Variation map is empty and not just that no SV is selected when you recall the preset?

Bought a 3rd party dynamic EQ ages ago. Ain't paying for it again. DaVinci is free

They don't fix old issues. And the older it gets the more issues you will find and the worse S1 will become. I switched from Cubase to S1 because of that and now they go exactly the same way.

[@SteliosMusic]

I'd rather have new features. Why waste time developing synths, when there are so so many available on the market? I'd rather have a great DAW than a bloated mess.

[@maraboo72]

@@SteliosMusic If you are a user of the Artist version you get nearly nothing but updates on Pro Eq and 2 plugins what is useless because I use TDR NOVA if I need a dynamic eq and other plugins are available for free. But Presonus wants almost 50 Euros for an Artist update for literally nothing. It is intolerable. And there are enough old issues they had to fix.

@@maraboo72 There are so many free synths out there which are top quality. Vital, Helm and Surge are enough to make almost any sound. Then you have Kontakt and a TON of free libraries.
