Track Options in Studio One - Unlocking Features You Need | PreSonus

[@tedgalog]

Thank you for this very timely video. You and Joe Gilder are a great one-two combination. I just re-watched his How to Edit video, and you just answered a question I had from that one. It's like you're reading my mind. You guys rock! ("Always put it to 11" LOL!)

[@presonus]

Thanks very much Ted!! Really glad to read you find our videos helpful. :) -GBY

Check out Markus Huyskens' channel too. His nickname should be 'The Manual'. No bullshit.

So helpful! You’re the best! Great presentation in all of these videos. Concise and to the point, packed with with great tips.

[@roknrexstudio]

Very helpful! Well done Gregor.

[@thetinmansheart]

Gregor, so many thanks for your videos. I've learned so much. Question: track options, must I set them for each song? I suppose I could start a template and use it for all songs after today. But is there a way to make the tracks options apply to all songs?

[@thankyoudriver4219]

Good stuff. At last I can find the phase reverse buttons! Here's an unusual question for you: Remember the old analogue desk days when you'd make a chinagraph pencil mark to show the beginning point of the fader when mixing? Is there a way of using some sort of marker on Studio 1 to indicate the start point of a fader, so we don't forget it? Thanks.

[@bacherinijazzquartet5959]

[@petersvan7880]

Thank you Gregor for yet another useful and well presented video. Greetings from Sweden!

[@beatsbydaku]

Please make the option available to disable "Locate when clicked in empty space" and "Cursor follows edit position" for the edit window/piano roll. It's super useful in the arrangement view, but just such a mess when editing midi :( I don't get why this isn't more requested..

[@judsoncrane1496]

"Cursor follows Edit Position" is a welcomed mode and a nice nod to the popular and classic Pro Tools option "Link Timeline and Edit Selection", but I think one little detail was missed in S1 with this - in Pro Tools when you're in the mode 'Link Timeline and Selection', PT ignores automation node clicks as selections and so your cursor isn't jumping around like crazy while you're editing clips and notes including automation. This is a great mode to work in, but when it includes every little automation node click, its not very efficient or helpful. Since this mode was added most likely to approximate this PT way of working I think this detail should be refined in Studio One. Thanks for the videos!

[@markbolden4540]

Thank you! This was enlightening and a tremendous help!!!!

[@presonus]

So glad to hear it! -GBY

[@resslerartstudios]

Always very helpful, however you run through your tutorials very quickly. Meaning you are talking faster than you clicking or vise versa. I find myself having watch several times to follow. So glad to finally understand that tape style check. Have you done all the "wrench" options boxes? I discovered that many times my issues have been solved by the wrench...thanks again

[@presonus]

Hi Rich, thanks for your feedback! Are you feeling that I'm talking too fast in general, or just when I covered the tape style behavior? I have to admit that I rushed through the latter quite a bit because I didn't plan on discussing this feature in too much detail...it needs a lot more context than an overview video can provide. :) Anyways, thanks very much!! -GBY

[@resslerartstudios]

PreSonus Audio Electronics well, since you put that way maybe thats what in was sencing. May be a little to fast dependingbthe subject. But i do like the way you get right to the point.

[@JenniferWilson-w5e]

Hi Gregor, Could you please explain how to type notes in your tracks? I have this option selected, yet I've tried expanding the track to jot down notes but am not allowed to type anywhere.Not sure how it works. Thank you!

[@beatweezl]

Another good thing about Instrument follows selection which you did not mention is it prevents you from accidentally recording over another MIDI track if you forget to disarm the record button!!! I think that's even more important and useful than just allowing you to record to the next track in one click.

[@resslerartstudios]

It would great to a video on each of the "wrenchs" within studioOne.

[@357rawrock]

When I record a new track I change many items on my mix. What can I do to see the previous adjustments without delete the new track record?

[@toddwmac]

Great stuff as always...thanks! Hey PreSonus....a suggestion....hire an intern to cross reference and link all the great content from Gregor, Joe G (and others) into a video enhanced HTML version of The Studio One Users manual....if you do, just tell me where to send you more of my money.

[@presonus]

Very cool idea! Btw, my video tutorial series has been integrated quite nicely with the "Learn" section of our brand new Studio One product page recently. Check it out: www.presonus.com/products/Studio-One/studio-one-tutorials

[@jayonbaby]

Wow I didn’t know I had these features! Thanks

[@stupidusername38]

IIf you don't want to use Solo follows Selection you can Alt+click the tracks Solo button and it will solo that track and mute the others. Very handy

[@David-jv7ot]

thank the lord for you Gregor

[@DexxterClarkMusic]

here is one feature request that I submitted years ago: background rendering of tracks to audio to save CPU on playback (midi, effects etc are automatically rendered to WAV) video editing programs like Final Cut and Davinci do that for years now on titles, transitions, color correction etc

[@thisismyaccounthandle]

This is already a feature. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIiYZIiEZ6qDa7c (Studio One Minute: How to freeze Tracks)

[@TopSecretNick]

Quick question: My transport bar in the lower left doesn't have the latency displayed, only the remaining recording time is shown. Is there a way to activate the latency display? Thank you in advance

How do you add transparency to the events? Thanks, bros.

[@jurgenschuler8389]

Thank you very much for this video. Great as always!

[@35milesoflead]

I have been using "ignore plugin latency" since I found it by accident in, I think, V3? Could you explain the difference between that a "plugin compensation", please?

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Cool Stuff adding all the time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Video Thanks

[@DS-ru8gd]

Why is there a visual delay with some plugins in studio one? For example, iZotope Neutron 3's frequency analyzer in the EQ section follows playback with some lag (visual only), so that when playing a drum loop, it shows a kick drum bump when a snare drum is playing and vice versa.

[@sonikblaksmif]

Great job,!!!!!! Always learning something new

[@presonus]

Thanks so much Ricardo!! :) -GBY

[@Artek604]

Awesome video, as always, but I need to ask a question - is this track finished & out somewhere?! This combination of drums, bass and pads sounds incredible :o Perhaps you have SC or Bandcamp account with your music? :)

I have always the issue to forget whether another track has been armed already while recording. Accidentally overdubbing this track. How can I arm a track while automatically unarm all other tracks?

Thank you sir great video

[@EHall-zj9zy]

Studio One Feature Request: On Impact XT, when you explode your pitches to tracks, is it possible that each sound that is exploded is placed on a piano roll where you can move the sound up and down the scale. That way you can use more 808s in impact so you can have the ability to shift up and down the scale with 808s. Or is the already available in Studio One?

[@chichogp]

I don't think impact can do that. Try using sample one instead.

[@EHall-zj9zy]

Francisco Garcia Posse I figured it didn’t. Hopefully it will be in a future update.

[@chichogp]

@@EHall-zj9zy Yeah I know how you're feeling. My solution was using impact on the kit and sample1 on the 2 or 3 elements I want to play on different pitches

[@presonus]

Hi E. Hall, not sure if I understand your question correctly, but you can explode pitches to tracks with any MIDI event in Studio One - no matter whether the MIDI track containing these events is assigned to an Impact XT, Sample One XT, or other. After doing so, each note value will be placed on its own midi track with independent piano roll. From there you can move the sound up and down the scale freely. -GBY

[@chichogp]

@@presonus He's talking about fl studio like behavior. In s1 when you change the note on impact it plays a different pad, even after exploding the midi. In fl there's just a sampler so when you change the note it changes the pitch of the pad (like it does on sample one but not on impact).

[@kyfisher3662]

is there a way to automate the ON Off of a VST?

[@beatweezl]

Yes, you can automate the bypass button of any VST.

[@Emotionz223]

Ok what about a collapse mode feature like logic for the piano roll or a way to just view the midi notes you’ve recorded ONLY or zooming in on the midi notes with one click of a button

[@presonus]

Hi Emotionz22, good suggestion, thanks! I'll take some notes. :) In the meantime, try selecting your midi notes and then pressing Shift + S (default keyboard shortcut for "Zoom to Selection"). This will achieve the "zooming in on the midi notes with one click of a button" behavior that you were asking for. What you can also try is lock the zoom state of your Editor to the zoom state of your Arrangement. See here: www.dropbox.com/s/hymoq43cjwfbui4/Screenshot%202020-03-08%2009.11.07.png?dl=0 One more thing you might not be aware of yet is that Studio One remembers the last zoom state you had for each individual MIDI event. -GBY

[@Emotionz223]

@@presonus ok so how do I lock the zoom state on my midi notes the picture didn't really help and zoom to selection isn't effective. Can you make a quick video? Also is there a way to randomize velocity in piano roll yet like specifically speaking a hi hat i want to randomize the velocity ...if not is there a workaround ...thanks btw

[@presonus]

@@Emotionz223 select your MIDI notes and press Shift+S on your keyboard. Let me know what that does for you! ...and yes, randomizing velocity is very much possible now - in every kind of way you can imagine! Simply click on the Macro Toolbar symbol and from there, go to the "Note Actions" (or "Musical Editing") page. Then, select a couple of notes and click on these buttons that you see in the Toolbar! Dare to experiment..;) Even randomizing pitches (while keeping the selected scale) is just one click away since version 4.5, thanks to Macros...you can do mindblowing things with that. Funny side note - I was actually demonstrating this in my very first official PreSonus video (timed the video for you): kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3TPo6KGirupldk

[@cedricmialaret3300]

One of the feature request that has been posted years ago and still isn't taken into account is surround / multichannel support. Here's to hope for v5 or V5.1 ?

Hi Why don't I see a fader in studio one when I use external synt on an instrument channel

[@presonus]

Hi, because you need to monitor your external synth through an audio track. The midi notes from your instrument track are only sequencing the external synth, but the resulting sound needs to be recorded in audio. -GBY

​@@presonus - I figured out that if I used a template with loaded instruments from S1-5 (Or maybe even an earlier version), it would act this way. If I started with a clean project, it would work. It was driving me crazy

Studio One is great DAW. Unfortunately, external instrument (midi) integration is waaaay behind competition and that is why I went to Cubase 10.5 Pro instead of upgrading to S1v5... I was hoping v5 will finally introduce external instruments patch scripting and proper midi tracks and midi mixer, as well as midi format 1 and 0 export... I think I’ll stay on v4.6 untill Presonus decides to do something about this...

All that is great, and I love S1. My fave daw! But you didn't ad "no overlap when editing", (a basic function that was asked for years, for hundreds of people on your request page) until a couple of versions ago. And another basic function that has been asked too and nothing yet is to give the option of having "layers follow events" Off as default. How hard can be to ad that in a software like S1, that does the must advanced things in the world? That thing creates a huge mess in the layers you are not seeing if you forget to turn it off. And if you have it off and you duplicate the track, S1 turns it on again in the new track! Why!? That doesn't make any sense! I'm not the only one asking for this, check your request page, lots of professional people are asking for it since 2016! Please give us the option of having "layers follow events" off as default!
