Studio One Pro 7 - The BEST Features (IMHO)

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

I'd love to see some tutorials on the new midi editing features, please Mike.

[@Capt-Cran]

YES Mike ... that would be great ... thank you!!

[@Deathtoyou4ever7788]

Count me in, too, please Mike. I've always found Studio One to be lacking in its midi editing capabilities.

[@johnsonqjohnson]

yes please - midi editing tutorials !

[@ColinHudson-i2v]

Hi Mike, as you would expect there have been a whole raft of youtubers jumping on the Studio One 7 launch but this is by far the best of the current bunch. More studio one content please. I've been a creative sauce subscriber for quite a while now, from the beginning of your cakewalk tutorials. But having lost patience with all of the Cakewalk/Roland/Gibson/Bandlab shenanigans i decided to switch to Studio One (mostly because your content was so helpful). As ever, excellent content delivered excellently. Many thanks!

[@CreativeSauce]

Thank you so much Colin :)

[@Capt-Cran]

@ColinHudson-12v ... I did the same thing ... Studio One for me too!! .... best move ever!!

[@ATolerableQuietude]

Likewise, also made the switch. For the same reasons!

[@ATolerableQuietude]

Nice to see some new Studio One content from you, since you're so great at explaining it. New features look cool!

[@Jamminn555]

Thanks so much, Mike! Love to see the MIDI editing features!

[@zenchiefengineer]

Can't wait until everything downloads so I can start checking some of the new stuff out. Thanks for the vid!

[@KenFoxmusic]

Thanks Mike, I hope you are well!

[@CreativeSauce]

I am, thanks for asking Ken!

[@alleykatsmusic734]

Thanks as always, Mike ❤Really love your videos and tutorials. You've taught me so much... if you could do some tutorials on the new midi editing features in Studio One 7, that would be much appreciated 🎉 Keep it up!

[@bassjane1732]

Thanks a lot, I love your clear walkthroughs from overview to detail.

[@petersvan7880]

Great video, but dissapointed with this release. Seems mostly focussed on loop people using prefab or canned ingredients and less so on composers. This is probably the first major S1 update that I skip, also given the increased cost.

[@YumeGt]

Great video and great great release from Studio One

[@johnhill762]

Very logical, straightforward video, Mike. As usual. Excellent organization. Clear and to the point. As for Studio One Pro 7, some of the new features are excellent. Global transpose, like Cubase? Lovely. It even lets you get a little picky about which tracks are affected. The stem separation is better than others I've heard, so I'm loving that. And the new tempo detection seems effective. I also like the rounded clips on the arranger and that loop feature they have, where you can just drag a clip and it'll automatically duplicate as you drag and swipe. Excellent. Worth the upgrade, imo.

[@Musicofmarvinglenn]

Thank you for this video Mike. Very helpful as usual. And Mike, please go deeper into the new MIDI editing features in another video. Thank you!

[@amkite_korshun]

great review, learned a lot of new things! thanks!

[@eshortsax]

Been waiting for your video lol! Side note, didn't realize this wasn't your Studio One Channel until you said it at the beginning of the video 😂😂

[@CreativeSauce]

Thanks man. I'm everywhere!

[@panagope]

After working for 8 hours with the new Studio One Pro 7, (compared with the Studio One 6.4), i can say that by far the BIGGEST improvement, is the ergonomics and visibility ! HUGE difference, to help you see the various "events", and manipulate and arrange them much more easily. Even in the smallest view ( all view window) you can see and move events 500% more easily. So arrangement and composition is much more easy. Also , for those that they have and use splice , its much easier to incorporate a sample in your song. I have tried the rest of the features (global transport , launcher , impact edit view, tempo detection & stem separation) and i can say that although they are very useful , someone will use them from time to time and not always. From the above i found more useful the Impact edit view, which lets you put the kicks, snares, much more easily.

[@presonus]

Thanks for sharing! Happy you like the new Studio One Pro 7!

[@thedustyhaze]

Perfect explanation as always, Mike! As an old Ableton user, the launcher will be very useful to me for sketching out new song ideas and arrangements. Looking forward to trying out the other new features too. I'll finally be upgrading from SO5Pro - well worth the $150.

[@oupahens9219]

Wonder why a new Studio One is only $199, then. Motivate to change?

[@presonus]

We hope you love the updates!!

[@spokansas]

These are fantastic improvements! Midi Editing tutorial please!

[@b4time718]

Thanks Mike - super helpful as always. Would love to see you dive into the new midi editing features!

[@reeread]

Thank you so much for the highlights review. I did not make the jump from 6 to 6.5 but with auto bus and a stem splitter along with analog track tempo match. This is a no-brainer upgrade with immersive audio. I guess fender buying out PreSonos has turned out to be a good thing. Thanks again for the KZbin video.

[@adamnchelle10]

Awesome overview as per usual. ty for your hard work and dedication to the education of current and future musicians/ producers/engineers. Between you and Joe Gilder, i have learned so much since moving from a stint on Ableton after using Cakewalk for years. Please keep the in depth tutorials coming. Personally, i'd love to see a tutorial on using Melodine to convert midi samples to audio and the transcription features. Learning how to generate scores and lead sheets is a fantastic tool set to have.

[@IanOS-UK]

Another really informative vid, Mike - Cheers! 😎🎸

[@tonystrignert]

Go for it all, this is soooo much to take in 😍

[@CreativeSauce]

Will do!

[@meinekleinegartenwelt3110]

Hey Mike, thank you for your Video. the Splice Integration is nice, and also the ImpactXT Integration.

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

Advanced tempo detection is my favourite new feature (although I love the other new features too) - I absolutely can't wait to start recording with this. I'll lay my guitar parts down and not worry about the tempo - sorted!

[@DanaVastman]

I totally agree! It was a clergy pia before and now I can just sit down and play guitar or piano and freelance with no worries about how this is going to end up. Absolutely wonderful

[@ringi1970]

This "Scene" Features reminds me of the old days with Notator on my Atari. There it was called "Patterns" and they worked exactly the same (Without audio, only MIDI), You programmed patterns with different tracks (instruments), and then you arrange them as you want for making the song structure.

[@oupahens9219]

Yes, and a bit of that awful Ableton. With 4-bar snippets being "able" to trigger through.

[@jonathanchalmers7844]

dammit now i want to update

[@albertoflacoa]

Really good improvements. Cool. Thx for the video:)

[@who_is_dis]

The essentials/ functionality and visuals / smoothness has just been enhanced overall and it's those things that make it for me. Like Jazzy Jeff said, it really does feel like the tool gets out of your way and enables you to get to it. If they create summing extensions that rival or exceed UA LUNAs it would be a chefs kiss. I know they've ventured down that path with those mix channel processing effects but from what I've seen, the existing ones are not really cutting it.

[@nriley1536]

Great overview! Thank you!

[@CreativeSauce]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheOneMonk]

Pls make a full tutorial on Launcher. Thanks!

[@CreativeSauce]

Sure thing!

[@doodaman4990]

Great introduction video. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I want to upgrade, but this was very helpful. I do a fair amount of MIDI and would appreciate you going into any new useful MIDI features. One feature I have figured somewhat of a clunky way to send CC codes to my MIDI instruments, if there are some easier ways, I'd be interested. I was a long time Cakewalk used and Cakewalk had a relatively easy way to send the appropriate CC's when I needed. Always enjoy your videos, keep them coming!

[@tgstk2]

as a home recorder, primarly to record guitars and bass and using SD3 for drums... the S7 seems only to be useful for people who work with samples / midi . the only reason would be to update would be to able to make a backing track.

[@toddwmac]

Can always count on you to do a great review of features and workflow. Thank you! Love to see more on Launcher! Would be great if we can record directly from our real-time playing of the pads..baxicaly routing the launcher outptut to a track of file. Bounceing a scene to a track would also be helpful. It is great to see S1 adding loop and launch functionality. Thanks for the drop

[@CreativeSauce]

Thank you Todd! Will do :)

[@sau1itud366]

Awesome as always Mike! Can we get a tutorial on how to un-install version 6? 😄

[@slacknote]

What's the best way to move to a next version of Studio One? I ask myself this question with every upgrade, but now I'd appreciate proper expert advice.

[@violinmusic2805]

Mike, great video as always. As a Cakewalk user, I"m coming round to StudioONe more and more. Could you do a tutorial on the advanced features of the piano roll for midi editing for things like strings in orchestral writing. I saw you did one but it was part 1. We need part 2... 🙂 Again thank you very much for sharing all this info..

[@kwameryan]

Great video! Would love to see your take on the new midi editing features. Cheers!

[@arpeggioblues5924]

Just got v.7.0. it has the one feature I wanted.. a faster way to set the Project/Song tempo map to follow an imported variable tempo Audio .. and force all other tracks to follow the new tempo map.. CWbB it was 3-4 steps.. now, SO 7 is 3-4 steps.. I guess I really helps to send feature requests to PreSonus.. I sent that to them over a year ago.. I'm glad.. Mike, I think I'm making the switch too..

[@michaeljesen6905]

Upgrade from 6.6 should not cost as much.

[@alright392]

Agreed

[@CraigScottFrost]

Maybe if nobody updates, things will change next year. They know who has what version and can look at statistics across their customer base. Those customers have power. Look at what happened with Waves.

[@alaposte4386]

Yes. If we add up the price of each version from the original purchase. Plus this one... Frankly it comes out to be much more expensive than for a new buyer in October 2024. This is a shameless scam on the part of Mr. Presonus. Does he need to buy a new yacht or even a loft in Central Park with our contribution of cash cows?

[@markbeling3330]

@@alaposte4386 since Fender bought Presonus, it’s the bottom line that counts. They don’t care about loyalty and individuals who have supported the platform from the beginning .

[@oupahens9219]

Yep, $149 for my upgrade vs $199 for completely new customer is verry annoying, although that is probably a time limited introductory price.

[@nabbalight1]

Hey Mike, myself & a few fellow producers have all worked with CWBBL and have also added Studio One 6, they and especially myself now feel lost & confused of how to use it! If you could make a video of how to do a song from start to finish, with how it would be in CWBBL/SONAR, like an detailed extension of the one you already made, with the new features too it would help no end!

[@NeuroPete]

Thanks for this video, Mike. As a long time pro user, I was going to hold off on upgrading to V7, but some new features might tempt me now, such as global transpose, advanced tempo detection, stem separation, and several others. Yes, S1 is effectively a subscription now, but unlike many other subscriptions, if you decide to stop paying, you don't lose the ability to use the software. It sucks to pay $149 every year instead of every two years for the latest features, but I think it'll be worth it for me. There are cheaper DAW's that may be as good or better, but I like S1. If all I wanted to do was save money, I would switch to Apple Logic, which I bought with my new laptop a few years ago, but have never used. The upgrades are free, but they don't come that often. I plan to stick with S1. I like that I have the option to only pay the upgrade fee if there are at least a few features that I want. I think this incentivizes PreSonus to innovate, and not just with bullshit features that no one wants. Hopefully for PreSonus, enough people will find it worthwhile to pay every year or two to keep S1 as a viable product.

[@sonicsatsuma1256]

I like Studio One a lot but my upgrade from 6 to 7 will cost me virtually the same as my recent crossgrade to Cubase Pro in their anniversary sale. Also, the new grid functionality is just a lite version of Live which, IMO, handles this type of track building much more efficiently. Hope this isn’t Presonus’ chosen strategic direction. If so, I’ll be moving to Cubase 100% of the time for scoring and Live for beat making.

[@garethde-witt6433]

Nope I won’t be upgrading so many features that I don’t need or want.

[@locutusmdv]

Thank you for one more useful video! What I found not very useful was the launcher. Or at least it is not useful for musicians that do not use loops regularly.

[@CreativeSauce]

I agree, that at first glance, for a musician like me (singer songwriter), it seems not useful. However, I have found it to be quite fun in terms of stimulating ideas - even if it's not used for final output. Thanks for watching!

[@mudi2000a]

You can also use it as a sketchpad from where you can copy the clips into the timeline I guess. I use it that way in Bitwig.

[@1loveMusic2003]

Auto tempo mapping! Thank you!

[@markbeling3330]

It’s not that accurate. Manual tempo mapping is still the best

[@presonus]

Enjoy!

[@NeelModi_dotcom]

Great stuff! It's really a wonder why they didn't tout these features when they announced the new pricing structure, even a super fast "trailer-style" overview would have been enticing at the time. That being said, as a heavy virtual instrument user, I've always always wanted a global transpose function that could ignore the drums.

[@CreativeSauce]

Yes! Such a simple but useful thing!

[@caydilemma3309]

I think they knew that the new pricing structure would cause a lot of complaints so they decided to announce it ahead of time to get everyone’s complaining out of the way. That way, the pricing conversation wouldn’t distract from the new features. My guess, anyway

[@yrakca]

Thanks Mike, I am interested in how Splice can be used with existing S1 loops etc, without needing to subscribe to Splice

[@Umitto]

Ty Mike!

[@Freddekaddeth]

Would be nice if Studio One offer amp profiling own amps.

[@RaviShankarVishwakarma]

Many features are inspired by Ableton Live. Studio One is all in one DAW now.

[@markbeling3330]

Great video Mike. Not a great update I must say. Will wait for more features before paying this for an update . Thank you

[@KreativeDevices]

Straight 🔥

[@rajivmodha3693]

Thanks. Midi editing features please..Thanks.

[@twinsprucestudios]

yup.... bring on the MIDI

[@rejestrrejes1809]

Please record a video about aligning WAV files in Studio One. How to do it in the best and most enjoyable way

[@andyangyh]

I record acoustic guitars, vocals and a few VST instruments (bass and occasionally choirs, flutes etc). It does seem that the new features are aimed at the hip-hop and EDM creators. There might be a few improvements - the universal transpose could be one such but I don´t record lots of tracks so I don´t have a problem transposing accompaniments at the moment although this would mnake it slightly faster. The big improvements for me since I started in Studio One 3 Artist have been the arranger track, the chord track, the mastering facility and the lyric track. Not interested in surround sound so Atmos didn´t float my boat. I will end up with 7 simply because I have a subscription and I intend to convert to a permanent license when my subscription runs out so that works out well. Would I have paid to upgrade? No, for the reasons stated above.

[@MotorpsychoGER]

Normally the upgrade would have been a no brainer, but as with the new model a 1 year counter starts ticking the moment you upgrade i have a lot of time to postpone it, until i see a feature i really like to get.

[@bassc]

Ah is that how it works, so if buy v7 six months in, I’d get first six months of v8?

[@NLGVIDEOS2]

I am a sound designer. Are there any videos strictly related to sound designing Using Studio Pro? You are an excellent trainer.

[@epweiland]

Hi Mike. Have you ever used modo drums? Thanks

[@xposedinneria6646]

Live looping is sth i was waiting fir since forever, but not sure that without a dedicated controller with FX control and clip launcher grid this competes with Ableton+Push - what do you think?

[@richertz]

hmmm... I saw the playlists, it reminded me of Notator from the 90s. I hane Studio One 6 but I've gone back to Logic. I think its a desperate move by Presonus recently. I also don't want to place trust in them at the moment, I however have their ATOM SQ and find it a fantastic controller. But the latest upgrade path is a kick in the face as from Artist and Studio the patch is the same. I feel ripped of.

[@jammer777]

Hi Mike. It seems that the Launcher seems to duplicate what the scratch pad and arranger track accomplish.

[@justinrogers5437]

Did they do anything with vocals productions

[@philmcintosh7335]

Is there any sort of trial available? Some of these new features are really cool, but there are always some things that are easier in whatever I am using now. Global transpose, for when the track is almost done but I've written a melody out of my range. Advanced tempo detection, so i can build a track around the initial inspiration. And Scenes like Dr T in my Atari ST days...

[@cescu2]

Can you drag the viewport around with the middle mouse button?

[@bassc]

Launcher seems to have no hardware integration with e.g. Launchpad or APC, just their own Atom, is that correct?

[@jimle22]

Sounds alot like an Ableton feature. (Launcher)

[@realchuckwow]

in section - 5 tempo detection. in this example woud it still work if the drums were audio tracks and not midi?

[@JoeyFTL]

Is there a way to turn off the feature where stereo audio events look mono when they're condensed?

[@fen3184]

I'm a bit behind on things... can Send Channels feedback into themselves yet (ala Ableton), or is that still off the table? Asking to help make Dub-style Delay FX.

[@davidcamarda8723]

Most KZbinrs On Studio One 7 Pre-launch: What the actual bollicks! Son of a.. Post-launch: $200, yeah sure

[@yoshikamiyafujidesu]

Best improvement are the GUI improvements! Studio One always looked pretty ugly, now with the rounded corners and such, it finally looks decent enough 😅 Other than that... the auto multi-output thing looks useful, though Logic had something like that for quite a while. New synth is of course also cool. Other than that... not relevant for me. Couldn't care less about the ai stem splitter, in particular.

[@sablemusika1378]

Are able to customize tempo and key on each scene? 6:40

[@eranddroory9987]

The only daw on the market that doesn't have stationary cursor / play in background in the year 2024 of the lord.. WTF..

[@dand6450]

Creative sauce : I have a question, why is my beat ducking the vocals playing loud in the KRK 5 monitor without any plugin on the beat ??? please if you could help

[@trushreitsam5802]

Why the emphasis on the different track types when talking about the clip launcher? Every DAW with a clip launcher can launch any clip independent of it's track type... That's just weird dude and I immediately have the feeling that you don't know what you're talking about (even though you obviously do) - just weird. On the other hand hyve they improved the inspector, so it either scrolls or has some other way of handling more info for smaller display, than having to drag these tiny handle-bars to resize the different segments in order to see hidden info?

[@olestef]

If this is all that's new I guess I'll skip this upgrade.

[@snesmocha]

if only this daw wouldn't completely die on me after 5 kontakt instances 💀

[@sirsilva7079]

Kontakt also kills my Magix Samplitude Pro sessions as well😢

[@MrTADEUSARIUS]

No use of Launcher because is the same like the Arranger!

[@Bo_Ekelund]

When open S6 song, edit etc , save, S7 ask for save in new format not S6 compatibel . What to do ?

[@DanaVastman]

I just always update/save to the latest version. If for some reason you want to keep an older version of the song you can do that. Just save as "save as." Trying to keep this kind of stuff straight is challenging so I just always update as I've never found a case where an older version of Studio One makes more sense than the newest version. That's how I handle it... The only reason I could see you want to retain an older version is to be compatible with someone else's Daw who hasn't upgraded... Again, you can just do a save. As for the new version and label it appropriately so you know what you're doing

[@richrich8487]

Really disappoint that Presonus keeps focusing those who make beats and use visual instruments. How about us who play, record, and mix real instruments. Not saying any wrong with making beats or using virtual instruments but some of us focus on playing, recording, and mixing our own instruments

[@panagope]

Thanks for the video ! It studio one 7 already available for download ? (subscription plan) because it doesnt seem to be available yet.

[@CreativeSauce]

I believe it is available.

[@sirsilva7079]

It is

[@meBrokenBody]

It's funny, you're describing the launcher feature as the biggest invention since sliced bread, while I'm amazed how they directly copied Ableton Live with no shame, with pretty much zero innovation.

[@CreativeSauce]

An interesting interpretation. I think i described what it does and how to use it!

[@meBrokenBody]

True, and I like your videos! My comment was not against you or your content. I just got to hate Presonus quite a bit with their price gouging and strange concept of loyalty towards their users. Bit of frustration coming out. I'm very glad I jumped ship and joined the Bitwig Studio family.

[@billy1cee2]

I've been using studio one pro since it came out . I paid for every upgrade but this seems wrong that a totally new person can buy it for $199.00 and I still have to pay $149.00 for up grade . not cool bro not cool ,it should be free to all pro 6 users . Reply

[@DanaVastman]

You're regurgitating the same argument used by everyone who missed a sale and now has to pay a higher price. You just whining. Things change things evolve. Timing is everything. Get a life

[@DanaVastman]

I'm in the same boat but I'm not whining about it. In fact, I'm happy for every human who is now able to afford an upgrade to the most amazing Daw on the planet❤

[@jloiben12]

How?

[@GetSongsDone]

This is how the majority of music, popular or not has been made in the last 25 years or so. Also, we still have all the nerdy audio features, including native ATMOS mixing. The best of past and present.

[@ladislaufazakas8980]

Let a few more years pass and we'll see in which direction it takes, it's only version 7.

[@johnhill762]

Yeah… but just because they have one update focusing more on modern music doesn’t mean they’ve abandoned traditional musicians. It remains to be seen what they do going forward. But yeah, this definitely is a modern music centric update.

[@johnhill762]

@@GetSongsDoneAgreed. It’s more modern minded… but S1 still has all the gadgets and whatnot that traditional users need. It’s not like Presonus has just stripped the program of all traditional features. Plus, in 6.5 they updated the score editor for composers. So they are clearly trying to strike a balance between all their different users. And this update just happens to be for the modern crowd. 🤷‍♂️
