This One Console Option Can Transform your Workflow

[@stmnz]

I've been using Studio One since the very first version. This is the best DAW in the world. Although I can work in almost all similar programs. But S1 is the most comfortable, pleasant and inspiring DAW

[@rajakhan2668]

Totally Agree but it fails very badly in Modulation! I mean even reaper can do basic modulation (Mapping Effects/instruments/mixer)etc parameters to an lfo but studio one Cannot 🤦

[@daniellievemaa1949]

it took them a decade to fix the worst midi jitter of all the DAWs. that's hardly the best DAW

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

I'm lucky - Studio One was the first DAW that I tried - and the default behaviour is not to show buses in the arranger. And I love it that way 😉

[@F1reb1ad3]

Same. And I really like Studio One. I’ve noticed a couple of bugs but I like the DAW overall. It’s intuitive and well designed.

[@EndlessMeece]

First DAW you tried? I am jealous. The learning curve coming from a totally different DAW was pretty tough for me. I think I've finally made it over the hill, but... daaang, lucky you are lol

[@boomish69]

Logic has always been this way…that’s where they got the idea, I am a studio One & Logic user, it’s not default in Pro Tools :)

[@heroforest]

Thanks for the update. I remember the track != channel workflow being one of the main reasons why I chose Studio One over the competitors.

[@DarrenMiddletonMusic]

Another good work state for this is to just pack the busses into a folder. Then you get the best of both worlds. they only take up 1 'line' of space...and you can expand them with 1 click in case you want to write automation or something on a buss.

[@ricardohernandez2771]

studio one change my life...the best!

[@amarug]

same, tried almost all DAWs, lastly "reaper" that gets so much love and no matter how hard i tried, i hated it with all my heart. i found peace with studio one. my ONLY annoyance is and stays that there is no good way to pan in midi roll. sometimes it still drives me nuts and i don't get why we can't have that option at least. but for the rest its god tier

[@Bezowinz]

Great! When will Scenes be fixed so that they don't effect Arranger tracks being shown/hidden when Arranger & Console are unlinked? This bug was confirmed shortly after the release of 5.0 or 5.1.

[@musicxtech6680]

problem is, when i move tracks next to bus channels, somehow they stick to one another (if the auto track automation visibility is not selected) and messes up all the mixer organization i made. \Is this a bug???????

[@CXtheproducer1]

We need the Sequencer PPQ changed or something because its not the best at letting you play unquantized midi, I mean if I’m on a MPC or Serato Studio or ABLETON Live or Reason or Fl Studio whatever I play manually with no quantize it plays it back perfectly. But Studio one seems to play it back with the dropped notes or notes moved. THE SEQUENCER AND THE SAMPLER NEEDS A MAJOR OVERHAUL. Test the MPC hardware or software without quantize and see the difference or any of the other stated DAW’s I mentioned. As powerful as Studio One is for music creation it still needs work in those 2 departments( The Sampler and the Sequencer) Also, quantizing after playing something should not be hard to accomplish as well.

[@biffuzisound]

when will the browser files be updated? it would be cool if wave is displayed when listening to samples

[@Musictron]

This is definitely a perk of studio one that I’ve been using for a few years now. The only thing that I wish S1 could do is have a section in the Console that could be on the left or right that could pin 📌 FX, Bus or VCA Channels that could be Hidden or shown with one click and can’t be moved regardless of whatever you do in the arrangement window. Something like a section console separator.

[@GregVKMusic]

If you go to the mixer options (same place Gregor found the setting in this video) you'll find a setting that allows you to keep FX, Bus and VCA Channels to the right. Or are you saying it would be cool to have them stay on screen when you're scrolling through your channels? Because that would be a really cool feature and you should definitely make a feature request!

[@Musictron]

@@GregVKMusic Lol something like that. It would be cool to put anything in this section of the mixer and then show and hide at anytime and perhaps cutting down on more mixer scrolling.

[@GregVKMusic]

@@Musictron I agree! I never even thought of that option, but it would make things easier!

[@zazoomatt]

Appreciate This Effort as I did learn of it's use in making Templates in S1v6.2 Thank you

[@synckeys]

Hi Gregor! I’ve always been watching your video tutorials. I wanna ask you about midi piano that I have recorded. When I play it the next day, the sustained notes were gone. What could be the problem?

[@fortheoneswhocare]

It's features like this and similar ones that make me say S1 is the best DAW out there.

[@benbetamusic]

Thanks for clarifying Gregor. When I deselect "Link Visibility of Track List and Console" I'm unable to show/hide a folder's contents from the mixer. Clicking the folder icon only shows and hides tracks on the Edit screen. Is there a way to fix this?

[@mixbymarkus]

Nice tip but my sessions are pretty folder heavy and this unlinks my folder behavior when I open/close folders :( is there a way to fix that?

[@RodKruz]

I guess this is for Protools users, I never felt like I was missing those mixer channels.

[@12qwertyuiop90]

Hi, can you show how to set up irregular time signature with random accent's in studio one 4?

[@kevincowen8655]

Thank you Gregor! Your videos are always super helpful! :)

[@dawmix]

It seems based on this, the workflow suggestion would make the Edit and Mix windows as separate (not combined) pages, as in: "Tracks" (Edit). "Mix" (Mix). Much like the Master is a separate page. I watched your video but cannot see how to make "Edit" not show the channels below. Switching between Edit and Mix swaps out the lower view between Showing Track (selected above) and the Channels (with the tracks above). How do I commit the I/F to all Edit or all Mix? Thank you.

[@MrSiwat]

Thanks for the excellent info. I'll check out that set up.

[@ryanedwardmusic]

This would be great BUT you currently cannot put channels in a folder. If you want to put buses/fx in a folder they need to have a track in the arranger. Fix this!

[@HeartSoulLeake]

This looks like something would definitely try out.

[@HarleyBob957]

Thanks for the info Gregor.. Much appreciated.

[@22jmike]

Thanks for listening to the gang in comment sections. Appreciate it!

[@kraftnote169]

Personus, can you reduse blue colour in interface, cause eyes very tired

[@BlackHoleForge]

I recently purchased PreSonus with a USB interface. Have you done any videos on understanding or developing a workflow? I mean it's fun to record tracks for my and make loops, but it would be nice to have an overall plan or a template to follow. I know each person's workflow is unique, but what would a basic workflow plan look like?

[@gitarman666]

I’m a multi monitor user I’ve found nothing better in the chair but this is great for mobile laptop work

[@DavidRosario69]

Is that Tux (from Linux) in the background?

[@citizenworld8094]

Many thanks Gregor for another informative vid. Off-topic but the latest S1 update without a video track for media was unfortunate so today I reluctantly invested in Pro Tools. Don't feel great about it tbh (learning curve too) and I doubt the MIDI on PT is as efficient as S1 but I had no choice. Just want to say thanks for the past 2 years.

[@craig7810]

Sometimes ill mute a track but the mixer hasn't been muted and I'm still getting sound. Have I changed a setting without realising?

[@mixtapebeatscolonelb3091]

great work

[@SantaCruzOne]

Viva mexico cabrones! Studio One is el mero chingon! !'ve been using this DAW the very first time.

[@RiffMusic1970]

Love these videos. So much helpful info.

[@kxoz_]

Someone pls help me.....I just want to automate the pitch of my sample but I can't figure that out .... and also I just want to know whether I can automate the pitch of a midi if yes...how?

[@pellefri]

Hi!! Thanks for your fantastic videos Gregor, and yes this is absolutely great!! :-) But, when using folders and wanting to link Show/hide when opening the folders some things get weird with the FX returns/ busses. Probably me, but have really tried to figure this out.. I have at some points ended up with some of the FX channels visible in the arrange, depending on when they were created.. Just accepting it and get the work done :-)

[@lmpcrew]

Awesome Buddy Thanking you for helping with this we got there in the end 🤣🤣 appreciate you man always responding ✊🏾💪🏿

[@tombuur]

I still prefer the classic 1:1 display after a couple of years with Studio One. The lack of this is my main problem with S1. Since you can easily make tracks invisible and save the view as a scene, Gregor's argument about space in the track view is not very convincing. If you use something like a drum sampler with multiple outputs you want to automate, it is a pain to set it up in S1.

[@GregVKMusic]

As Gregor showed in this video, to get this decoupled workflow, you have to make sure that the "Link visibility of Track List and Console" setting is disabled. so if you want a 1:1 option, simply make sure that setting is enabled.

[@tombuur]

@@GregVKMusic I already do that. What I mean is that if I insert a multi-out instrument like a drum sampler, I have problems. Inserting Superior 3, I don't get tracks for kick, snare, highhats etc. so that I can automate e.g. volume of these during the song. I have to set this up manually, and it takes a long time. Other DAWs do this autmatically. Is there an easy way to do this in Studio One? A work-around. I use templates, but even so I have to go through this time consuming process now and then. I wish Presonus would make it and option to have the usual 1:1 relationship in cases like this. E.g. when inserting a multi-out instrumen: Create automation tracks, yes or no?

[@knifeprty8157]

Thanks!!!

[@daniel_caron]

I'm usually pretty comfortable with abstracted interfaces, but this is honestly pretty confusing. I think you should offer a 1:1 option.

[@GregVKMusic]

[@daniel_caron]

@@GregVKMusic Appreciate the reply. Maybe I have to spend more time understand how the visibility features work. I played with enabling the Link Track List and Console option, but still see differences between my tracks and console channels. I feel like sometimes I see virtual instruments in the console, and sometimes not, sometimes busses and sometimes not, etc. I guess I just wish it were more intuitive.

[@daniel_caron]

@@GregVKMusic Really dig your bass and synth grooves!

[@daniel_caron]

@@GregVKMusic I went back to S1 to see if I was crazy. But with the "Link Visibility of Track List and Console" checked, I still have two virtual instruments in my Console that don't show up in track list. And I have 5 FX channels that don't show up in the Track List. A true 1:1 option would be nice.

[@GregVKMusic]

Ah damn! I assumed that would fix your problem. I really like the flexibility, but I can understand wanting a simpler 1:1 option. Thanks for the compliment regarding my bass a synth stuff. 😁

[@JamesArthurHurley]

Thank you for the info. However, for me, if it is making or passing audio, I want to see it. Full stop. Otherwise you are GOING to wind up hunting around for something and chasing signal in larger projects. Also, coming from Pro Tools and highly organized sessions, having things like busses viable in the arrange window has organizational advantages. I’m VERY glad S1 has the option for both.

[@danripley3719]

What an earth has happened to the Update Master file option... Gets to the end of updating and gives out a horrible reverb crash????? On the verge of cancelling Sphere now... Used Studio One for years and you're ignoring issues that have always been there... The updating master file has just started after last update... But Plugins taking a minute or more to close down is just not acceptable... Doesn't happen in Reaper which I also use... Especially with Line 6 Helix Native 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@maraboo72]

It does not work properly with tracks that have more than one output on different channels like Impact. If link visibility is engaged and you try to hide the "Snare" for exemple all Impact channels disappear. If link visibilty is disengaged you can hide single channels but not collapse the drum folder they are put in. So you have to delete the snare from the instrument list. If you did that by mistake and you want to restore it all settings are lost. But hey who cares about proper testing a software?
