Studio One: Applying FX to certain events using Event FX

[@ΝΙΚΟΛΕΤΤΑΤΡΟΥΜΠΕΛΑ]

Thanks so much man i was looking for this desperately.And after all it was just alt....Anyway you saved me hours or frustration. Subbed.

[@morphderfler783]

If I could “Like” this 10 times I would!!! Been trying to figure this out, like others in the comments I tried automation etc. Clean, straightforward & simple demo, thanks Tim! Subsrcibed 👍👍👍

[@cathywilson1273]

Towards the end of this video, I was thinking to myself, "Oh no! That selection is going to be affected by the effects on the track. That will drown out that special effect. Maybe it could be done on a separate track." Then, Tim addressed that issue and said the exact same thing! I was so happy that what I was thinking, actually is something that could be done, and so I am on the right track in my learning! :-) Thank you once again, Tim Talks Audio!!

[@YewNightMusic]

Great explanation! I was having issues with other methods. This makes life so much easier when adding delay! Thank you!

Dude...I've been usiing Studio One for over 2 years and I learnt so much about pro editing just from this 6 min video. More pro editing tips please! I have an SM58 mic too. How do I edit my voiceovers in studio quality that makes it sound like it's from a condenser mic?

Can do apply this to Midi tracks as well? I noticed that I wasn't able to complete the commands as you've laid out here on midi tracks, only vocals or prerecorded samples. thanks!

[@BrandonGoodmusic]

Very Helpful. Thank you

[@TimTalksAudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Artek604]

This is nice. But is S1 smart enough, that if you add a temporal effect (say a delay or reverb), it will also render the tail that extends outisde of the event? That would be very useful especially with S1's ability to play overlaping events simultaneously.

[@TimTalksAudio]

I did something just like that when making a reverse reverb effect using Event FX! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZCoXpmDZZ2rY9E

[@vrayonet]

Fantastic, short tutorial, thanks for that.

How to automate the event FX? Is there a workaround like with MIDI control? If yes, could you show?

[@matthewjoshua1025]

This stuff is gold

[@ulisserigamonti3172]

This is a good thing. It's possible to do the same thing on a midi or instrument track?

[@danielharrigan7108]

The best explanation on KZbin so far, thank you. Can I select the same time event on 3 tracks and apply simultaneously? I'm trying to automate dial changes on multiband dynamics for 3 layers of synths simultaneously.

[@TimTalksAudio]

I don’t believe so, but I would have to check.

[@whiteplayon]

Thanks very helpful. Did the effected clip become mono after the event effect?

[@TimTalksAudio]

It did because I had used a mono version of the plugin when using the Event FX. If you use a stereo plugin, you'd get a stereo file.

[@bubinga_basher]

You've been super helpful! This is exactly what I was wondering. I want to cover "Walking on the moon" Police. The end, the drums have a delay the finsl 1/4 :of the song. I have a question on Polarity, so hopefully You've made one

@@TimTalksAudio 1st, I gotta tell you, you kick ass! Super helpful, and really know what you're doing! I actually did watch that vid a couple times. Is there a way for me to test my entire kit? Or sets of mics? I'll watch it a fee more times. I'm guessing you'll know this.....I went to upgrade to V 5.2, but kept getting error message, as I couldn't sign in on my laptop. On the app on my phone I could get to My.presonus.com, but I keep getting an error on my laptop. BTW, that app is great. Since I got the app, does that mean my laptop has 5.2? I still should be able to sign in. Right?

Tim...you are just awesome...thanks

[@TimTalksAudio]

My pleasure!

[@MCNorad]

Hey tim, do you know maybe why everytime I use a reverse reverb on vocals, it works perfectly. But it changes the entire sound of the instruments/2track beats? It muffles them, and I have no idea why. If I mute the beat chain that has FX's on like, eqs, etc. It goes back to normal.

[@TimTalksAudio]

Are you trying to do this trick across the whole mix?

[@music7studios]

Great vid, subscribed.

[@TimTalksAudio]

Awesome, thank you!

[@bubinga_basher]

Oh wow. I think I just ask you this question on a different video? So I'm tracking a small drum kit. If I were doing a song (think Every Little thing She Does is Magic, at the end), and wanted my drums to have the delay Copland used, I would just go to the point of the song I wanted the effects to start, I could just have the effects start where I mark it? Yes, I'm a complete newb with no audio, let alone DAW experience. Thank

[@TimTalksAudio]

For something like that, I would use a send to a Delay. Event FX in my opinion, are for when you want to imprint an effect onto the file itself or for little spots here and there. If you want to effect a whole instrument, you can send a copy of that instrument to a delay or which ever effect you want!

[@mr-valentine]

how can we add notefx to certain part event like arpegiator

[@serikz]

is it possible to create a buss chanel, and send some events to this bus? And, into this buss chanel, will add any effects i wont.

[@JamesWarrenWatts]

Wow! does this help. Thank you. Sure beats Gregor's explanation. lol.

[@TimTalksAudio]

Glad it helped!

[@audiokemestry]

Is there a way to process events when working on mastering tracks in the project page? For example, if I split a track into two events and want to process one of the events only (but not the entire track). Thx

[@TimTalksAudio]

That's a great question that i'll have to research more. I'll let you know asap!

[@vipakat3498]

When I press ALT (for pc) all I get is a circle with a slash in the middle. Do you have any idea what may be preventing me from adding effects to specific channels?

[@TimTalksAudio]

Are you trying to do this to a midi event or to an audio event? You can also try selecting your event and putting the effect in the inspector pane on the left. If you are applying some event FX, you should see an orange "Render" button that will allow you to commit the changes.

[@rubberplant6375]

Unfortunately it only seems to work on the first event. When trying to apply FX to subsequent Events to doesn't seem to work.

[@TimTalksAudio]

Correct. Event FX are “assigned” to specific events. If you were looking to apply the fx to the whole track you could try a few options. First would be to bounce the track, combining all of the events into one audio file or event. Second, you could insert the effect on the channel and everything that’s on that track would be effected. Third, depending on the effect in question and what you’re going for, you could create an fx channel or bus and use a send from your channel to the fx channel/bus with the effect plugin there.

[@therealjackfisher]

WOW! And I was making seperate channel for stuff like that.

[@Preordained]

Have you ever noticed when you use event effects on a sliced up clip and render it, the other tracks stop playing? Happens to me all the time! Super annoying! I have to close out of ST1 and restart it to work. Any ideas why this is happening? i have tried adjusting just about everything to stop this from happening. Nothing works.

[@TimTalksAudio]

That's new to me. First i'd check if there's any updates available for your DAW/machine. Then try to recreate the effect (event effect) with a different plugin to see if there's a possible problem with the plugin (or compatability of the plugin and event fx)

[@mardstudio4806]

Hi sir ,how to copy event fx to another

[@ransbarger]

Very cool! thank you.

[@bobby-k-mastering]

Thanks Tim, You're a legend!!!!!

[@ordreancien]

Hello Tim, thanks. When you add an event fx on a section, does this section also keeps the effects added on the whole channel insert ? If I don’t want any other effects than the one I just added on the fx section, how I do that ? Many thanks ! 🙏

[@TimTalksAudio]

It will only print an event with the plugins on the "render chain" and will not print the effects on the mixer channel to the event, although the channel plugins will still be effected by the event with the newly rendered event FX.

[@ordreancien]

@@TimTalksAudio Thanks. So what can i do to only get the effect i added on the event and not the "main" one applied to the whole track ? let's say, on the whole track i have a reverb plugin and on a particular section i just want distorsion but without the reverb effect, how i do that ?

[@TimTalksAudio]

At that point, I would make a new track and cut the event out and move it to the new track. Copy all of your other settings to the new track, and just delete the reverb plugin.

[@ordreancien]

@@TimTalksAudio Yes, i thought about that but transition and volume can be an issue. Maybe another solution is automation : setting bypass effects just before the eevent arrives. Thank you

[@damenkindell6190]

PURE GAME, TY BRO

[@mikeciresi3697]

How do you highlight more than one event without losing the first one selected? Also can you just highlight a section of a track that where there are no events? In other words: I played the guitar track straight through without stopping and I just want to highlight a section of that....can I just hold down alt over the highlight.

[@TimTalksAudio]

You could use the range tool to select just the area you want, then hit option-x on max or Alt-x on pc to split the selection. Then you can follow the steps in the video!

[@brianpatrick6102]

Is it changing the signal to mono when you render it? Thank you.

[@TimTalksAudio]

I believe in this example, i did use a mono plugin somewhere in my plugin chain, so if you use a mono version of a plugin, it will render to a mono file. If you use a stereo, it will render stereo.

Events are the “containers” for either audio or midi information. If you have an audio or instrument track already made, you can double click in a blank area on the edit window to make a blank event. What are you looking to achieve?

There's a possibility that a plugin may have gotten over-driven in your signal chain causing distortion.

[@TimTalksAudio]

Yes it does, and if you are still in a "pre-rendered" state, you can see the event fx chain in the inspector. With the inspector open, select the event, and just like in the video, you'll see the event fx section should have a orange or yellow button that says render, and a arrow that allows you to expand the fx chain. If you have already rendered the event fx, you can always "Restore" the event to it's pre-rendered state and see the fx chain that way. I hope this helps!
