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.

[@Azfun6]

Hi Mike, I have learned so much from you about Cakewalk, I have now got Studio One Pro 7 and am learning a lot now from you about Studio One. I would love to see more of the MIDI capabilities as they appear quite different from Cakewalk. Thank you for all you do for so many people out here lost and learning all this technology.

[@presonus]

Great walkthrough of the new features!

[@CreativeSauce]

Thank you :)

[@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!

[@arpeggioblues5924]

My Favorite that I have been asking for, for over 2 years now... finally... EASY tempo mapping: extracting it from imported variable tempo audio files; setting it's tempo map as the project tempo map and easy to force other audio and midi tracks to follow that tempo map. This was a 3 step process in CWbB, but now SO7 can do it too, and in very few keystrokes.. no more 'guessing the BPM, then randomly checking of each few measures and relining them up to bar lines.. this is WAY easier.. KUDOS PreSonus, you finally satisfied my last and only Nit about this DAW. (Yes, you can use Melodyne, I have it, but I don't want to have to bring it up, each time with its seriously annoying tiny font icons and in menus and submenus and too small to read on a 1080p monitor (Celemony needs to get on the GUI DPI wagon with Melodyne like the rest of the industry is doing for all their plugins! .. just do it!). Great Job PreSonus.. Right On!!!

[@Giantte-ShoreLone]

Wow!! totally blown away by the new features as demonstrated. Exactly what I need desperately.

[@johnsonqjohnson]

yes please - midi editing tutorials !

[@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.

[@mellobotstudio]

@@who_is_dis I think they do need an overhaul on their plugins, especially the Redlight, as long as they leave the Tricomp alone.

[@stevenrayphoto1280]

Awesome tutorial!!! Many thanks! BTW what are the blue, yellow and purple lights behind you?

[@ATolerableQuietude]

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

[@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!

[@KenFoxmusic]

Thanks Mike, I hope you are well!

[@CreativeSauce]

I am, thanks for asking Ken!

Pls make a full tutorial on Launcher. Thanks!

[@CreativeSauce]

Sure thing!

[@Jamminn555]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@nickclube295]

100% - Presonus decided to serve a sub-section of the user base and ignored the rest of us. If you use samples, synths and make electronica then it's fine, but I don't - I record live musicians and want deeper editing and workflow features, updated audio plugins. Shame, but maybe the next feature set will address that imbalance.

[@mellobotstudio]

@@nickclube295 It would be so nice to have integrated track delay like every other DAW, redo the Redlight completely, and better automation. They can leave the Tricomp exactly how it is though.

[@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!

[@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.

[@TheJonHolstein]

@@CreativeSauce There are lots of people that do not make loop based music that have enjoyed ableton for coming up with ideas, for a long time. And I think the way presonus have implemented it feels better when combining arranger and launcher. But not as straightforward when in lancher only. What I would have liked every daw with a launcher interface have, is a separate launcher-arranger view, for dealing with the material that makes up the clips, so you can do multipli takes and use comping methods, and directly see the loop-points, and so on (instead of having to go to a specific clip and look at the inspector). Among many of the "haters", you find people saying that it isn't useful for real musicians, but it is actually a great tool for simulating jamming with other musicians, to crystallize ides. it is much more fluid and flexible, compared to working with loop-points on the arranger timeline.

[@darjbrock]

Tempo Detection. I love it. Here's my question. I've got a tempo track created using the kick, snare, and high hat. Looks correct. All three of those show me the red Map so they are fine. What about the rest of the kit that I did not select for Tempo Detection? They are all Not Set. How should I handle getting them to follow the Tempo Track and stay in sync with the rest of the kit?

[@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.

[@nektariosmusic]

Great video, thank you! I don't know if you have this already, but I would love to see a tutorial on chord progression detection using audio files.

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@amkite_korshun]

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

[@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.

[@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..

[@PerNyegaardAndersen]

Thank you so much for the great tutorials, Mike. On the Multi-out instrument busses you demo the feature using a drum plugin example. Is it possible for you to name the brand of the drums. I tried the feature using my EZdrummer 3 plugin, but without luck. I will also love to see some more midi editing tutorials. Maybe including the Harmony Wizard.

[@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 :)

[@cjp68]

Hey Mike, good video, thank you for the effort mate. You always do a great job. What if I am not a beat maker? An EDM guy? Indie? Nor Dance music maker? From what I see S1 version 7 is moving towards that vibe? I never use loops and do not care a thing abut Splice. I am a Cinematic composer. I take it S1 didn’t make any changes for guys like me? My world is not coming to an end if not but just curious?

[@sau1itud366]

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

[@MaPa60]

I like the multi out busses and the global transpose, those will be nice to work with. I was hoping for some more tools in the sampler, like shaper box, like Cubase 13 Pro now has, and an adjustable chord pad tool, like both Kontakt and Cubase has. But pricing is completely off, I can switch to Cubase on BF for about the same as the S1 upgrade costs, not very smart and a bit of a cold shower.

[@nriley1536]

[@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?

[@MotorpsychoGER]

@@bassc for major upgrades and releases I guess it will stay as it is: if you buy the old version within three month before release you will get the upgrade for free. But as Presonus announced they want to go for faster and more release cycles maybe we won't see a version 8 in the near future anyway. Seems they are targeting for a continuous train you can jump on or off anytime.

[@bassc]

@@MotorpsychoGER ah, Bitwig will give you exactly a year irrespective of big version releases, thought it might be like that.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@morizanova]

As Ableton user who keep amaze with what SO offer , the clip launcher and playlist really feels like home :) Are those features also have some kind of "FOLLOW ACTION " ?

[@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!

[@cp99music]

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

[@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.

[@Tkivo]

Major issues on PC with this version. I recommend sticking with previous versions until this one is stable. I think they launched this beta version and let us be the paying bug testers of their product.

[@RobertLunaMedia]

Maybe I am missing something here. This is the third "how to" / Features of Studio One 7 I have watched and I am still unclear how the Advanced Tempo Detection is useful to a song. In the examples given, additional instrument recordings will be forced to "lock in" to a fluctuating midi drum track/tempo track? How is this helpful? I can see if this put the audio track in time with a fixed tempo and it then could be used as a scratch track for the rest of the recording, but to me this feature isn't useful. To automatically put the audio track (not recorded to a set tempo) to a specific tempo, I use Ableton to "WARP" the audio track (automatically) then output (with a click) to StudioOne 7 and presto! I align with the Studio One tempo / click rack and now I am ready to add the rest of the tracks with the original audio track aligned to the designated tempo for reference. (or perhaps to even leave in!) Set me straight if I have the purpose of this feature wrong. I'm just a drummer and may be missing the point.

you can tempo detect audio as well, the result may vary, and you should make sure to start the detection at the downbeat.

[@evgen6834]

Never understood any launchers. It's look like a double work to move events from arrangement to launcher and back. What is the point?

[@bassc]

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

[@TheJonHolstein]

I wonder that as well... It does show the same kind of border around the clips when used with Atom, so it is possible they have used the same kind of script. But I would love to see full integration with APC64, as that is possibly hte best 3rd party launch controller at this point.

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.

[@eranddroory9987]

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

[@TheJonHolstein]

Regarding the Stem separation. To my ears from demo videos, I don't hav pro 7, it performs worse than some that are even supposedly using the same algorithm. I don't think they should have integrated stem separation, or not in this way (but honestly with their pricing, that is the only option if they were to include it). Spectralayers pro, does stem separation, but it also offers additional features making use of a similar process, so it is an tool, that feels like a professional tool. But Steinberg has not integrated it fully to cubase, probably because it makes more sense as a 3rd party solution, that is attractive even to users of other DAWs, and therefor, it has to be competitive. I am not completely against STEM separation, even without the extra tools. It does make sense for someone, who exploring making remixes, and before you know if you will be able to make something out of a song, it does not make sense to license samples/stems/multi-tracks. But that is a quit niche use, that does not feel professional, and for that reason, it makes little sense in a DAW, marketed at pros as well. If they wanted it "integrated", they could have done someting similar to the splice integration, that way they could have also relied on a cloud base service that would probably imrpove over time, without relying on studio one being updated. I am not confident that as a built in feature, STEM sepration will get the attention it actually needs to keep up with 3rd party solutions, in terms of quality. If they wanted something built in to use AI hype marketing, it would have made much more sense to build their own sample identification AI, and have it built in, to do similar thing to the splice integration, but with samples the users have on their discs. That is something a lot of people would find really useful.

Sounds alot like an Ableton feature. (Launcher)

[@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
