Studio One: Panning your sends

In Studio One, It's super easy to add a send to any track or bus, and a great trick is being able to pan your sends from your tracks.
On the sends in Studio One, when you route to a stereo bus or FX track, you can pan that send to create some width in your mix and create some atmosphere in your track.

They really need to add Follow Main Pan. People in forum's have been requesting this since 2014.

[@francisard7179]

I was literally looking for just that actually

[@exitthelemming145]

There's' a lot of content out there for most of the major DAWS, but all of Tim's videos are up there with the very best i.e. clear, concise, detailed where required and applicable to ANY genre of music. He also gets extra brownie points for never describing something he likes as 'dope' or asking his viewers 'what's up?

[@Russplight]

Nice one Tim. I didn't even know the pan level was there in the send. EXCELLENT

[@ozcarturgue942]

Wuau that changed a lot of things now. No more left and right sends . Thank you . Great video.

[@johntoothill1169]

Really helpful - thanks so much Tim.

[@TimTalksAudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@untilwearehuman]

Man, that is exact issue I came across with yesterday. All my guitar sends were in the centre and the mix lost its wideness. Thanks youtube algorithm, thank you, nice man for sharing this tip! Can't wait till coming home to try it :)

[@kar53an04an]

Dang! I haven't realized it was panning section, but have thought it was just part of the design! Thank you!

[@TimTalksAudio]

Designed with a purpose!!

[@NorberthCsorba]

Dude, I was really missing the panning on send since I moved from Cubase. I thought Studio One did not have this feature. Can't really understand why the developers made it so invisible. Thanks!

[@BuddhikaPereraGuitar]

Cubase had this. Something I was looking for in studio one DAW. Thank you very much Tim.

[@TimTalksAudio]

Happy to help!

[@peterelfman]

Super-helpful!

[@TimTalksAudio]

Glad you think so!

[@sidewalkssteamin]

This is amazing thank you so much!

[@ModernGuitar]

Thanks for the vid ! Since I've upgrade to SO 6, I have no longer this option of panning the sends. Is it still there ?

[@TimTalksAudio]

It should. They didn't take that away. Check out this video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZprQnmd4rsRon8U

[@ModernGuitar]

@@TimTalksAudio Thanks Tim for the answer. I actually find what's ongoing on. They introduce a "lock pan to channel" function, with is checked by default when you create a send. So if you right click on the send you can uncheck it and pan your send where you want.

[@arbogast4950]

​@ModernGuitar there's gotta be a way to fix that lol. I just went nuts for 10 minutes 😅

[@uptownphotography]

Great info Tim... Phil NYC Area

[@roshanpatil3858]

Thanks for it

[@CoryHawthorne]

Wow. As much as I like SO, their user interface could use a little love. I had no idea that thing was even there...

[@TimTalksAudio]

I agree, it’s hidden and if you don’t know where to look, it can get missed, but that’s why I make these videos

[@garethde-witt6433]

Damn sudden enlightenment 😀😀

[@TimTalksAudio]

Glad you learned something and thanks for watching!

[@thehillybillycat1]

Hi Tim, love your tutorials, I've sent all my instruments to a band bus channel in SO4, the thing is some of the instruments I've panned are not being panned when coming through the band bus channel, what am I doing wrong here?

[@TimTalksAudio]

I would double check that you haven’t accidentally made the bus mono. That would essentially “disable” the ability to pan into the bus.

[@thehillybillycat1]

@@TimTalksAudio You were right Tim, I had the mono button engaged without spotting it. Thanks a mill, keep up the good work.

[@TimTalksAudio]

@@thehillybillycat1 Glad it was an easy fix!

[@225maine]

@@TimTalksAudio I'm having the same problem..but my bus is a stereo bus..I notice sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't 🤷‍♂️

[@bribradt3450]

I still can't figure out how to pan 2 guitars that are going into a bus... Each guitar track is panned hard left and hard right. But when I send them to the bus, everything is just down the middle, even when I adjust the pan sliders inside the routing menu. Any help is appreciated

[@TimTalksAudio]

Are your two guitar tracks different performances or takes? If you just duplicate one guitar and pan them left and right, you're creating a louder mono guitar. You need differences and variations to get stereo guitars.

[@mortenkalland]

Pan law video on your channel short video?

[@TimTalksAudio]

Great suggestion!

[@hbonthetrack]

@timtalks nice video right there but come on @studioone @presonousaudio , as well thought of and as smart as studio one is ...you have to make the send panning follow the main panning automatically like in protools. I’m surprised they don’t have that feature in there. but can you at least copy your main panning and paste it ?

[@TimTalksAudio]

Not directly, yet. I'm sure there's a bunch of requests on the Presonus Forums asking for this. I know I would at least want the pan slider easier to see!

[@hbonthetrack]

@@TimTalksAudio so where do you go when you notice something and want to request it ?

[@TimTalksAudio]

answers.presonus.com/studio-one-feature-requests

[@hbonthetrack]

@@TimTalksAudio thanks , one quick question. When things are temporarily grouped. are we able to control the whole group with lets say one eq or compressor granted all of them have it on each tracks ?

[@TimTalksAudio]

@@hbonthetrack if you have a temp group and add a plugin, it will add that plugin to all the selected tracks, but it will not group the plugin controls. So you wouldn’t be able to add “6” eq’s and raise the top end on all 6 at the same time. You could however, bus those tracks together then use one plugin to effect all those tracks!

[@225maine]

For some reason unknown when I try to pan my reverb on a track with the pan on the send, it doesn't pan left or right.

[@TimTalksAudio]

Is the FX or Bus channel in mono mode?

[@225maine]

@@TimTalksAudio no sir, it's in stereo..I have to actually have to pan the bus then do the send pan so it matches...doing it that way would require more than 1,2 etc etc of reverbs

When I try to pan hard left or right and it doesn’t do It

[@amirmohammadhasanpoor9295]

Hi man i have issue in hearing paning when i pan to left/right i can not hear paning any way

[@TimTalksAudio]

Do you have your main output set in mono mode?

[@jamesmettle2]

i pan main track to left..i pan send to left..still playing on both speakers..any help

[@TimTalksAudio]

Is your mix set in mono?

[@jamesmettle2]

@@TimTalksAudio normal studio one setting..instrument track n bus..instrument is mono bus is stereo

[@TimTalksAudio]

If you turn off the send, does the sound only come out of the left then?

[@jamesmettle2]

@@TimTalksAudio yes. the track alone panned to the left plays in the left.

[@Rhalex2050]

Lol I didn't notice it was right there hahaha

[@AlexDrums482]

I can't seem to pull up sends at all. I've got inserts but no sends.

[@perspers2030]

Probably hidden. Hover over where the sends should be and grab and pull up to make it visible

[@parakletosuk]

actually wasn't what I was looking for in my Google search, but very useful nonetheless

[@TimTalksAudio]

What were you looking for? Maybe I can still help.

[@parakletosuk]

@@TimTalksAudio I was try to work out whether the panning I was doing was still being reflected in the mix after going through a mix bus.

[@Arian-abbas]

Sorry .. But this is not Guitar sound but Noise sound..!! PLEASE WHEN YOU CHOOSE, Choose classic Guitar sound not metal

[@TimTalksAudio]

I understand how some guitars might not be your cup of tea. Reach out to me with one of your recordings and I'd be happy to use it in some future episodes showing other techniques.

[@Arian-abbas]

@@TimTalksAudio I do not want to publish my work before it is released, and my album that was released has copyright .. But you can download many free tracks and use them, but beautiful one and clean and calm, not an annoying clip .. Thank you
