Become Lightning Fast in Studio One 

Wait! Pause... Take notes... Play... Listen, giggle with delight... Pause... Take more notes...! WASH, RINSE, REPEAT! BRILLIANT TIPS, I CANNOT BELIEVE THE Timestretch or WAV. nudging trick. 2 CLICKS & AN "X' ! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER, SIR! THANK YOU! 😉 💜 🍀 🎶

Efficiency tip nr1: start at 2:53

Not a single one I didn't know already - in fact, you left out some I use so much I am wearing the keys out (such as shift+L to zoom to the loop range, which is way more useful than alt+z, or shift+s to zoom in/out of the selected event). I guess after 5+ years on S1 I am officially a power user. ;) I also think that Studio One is one of the best designed pieces of software anywhere - even beyond DAWs. Its power/usability ratio is unmatched, IMHO... it is fast, streamlined, solid and so cleverly designed. I just love it.

Transitioning from PT to Studio one, and videos like these are making this so easy. Absolutely loved this!

Another awesome video. Thank you so much Joe🎶 Please keep ‘em coming.

I use “selected tracks to bus” feature all the time, I did not realize that YOU were the one with the ingenious idea to keep new selected tracks within that routing to the same routing. Not sure I said that right, but I super super appreciate that Joe! Also, you have possibly saved me decades if not maybe even centuries with your last tip in editing. THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks for the tips Joe! Great content as always my man.

This quick workflow is what sold me on studio one. It keeps me focused on creating and that's really what's important. For me studio one is a godsend and I don't see myself ever working another daw!

Wow..great shortcuts Joe...Much appreciated ..Thanks..

great shortcuts Joe,thanx,i will surely use them

love it Joe! Glad you got the gig, natural choice ... also, Shift Option will give you a magnifying glass to capture view you want, very helpful for those graphic folks coming from Adobe products, etc ...

Thanks! great info! Appreciate the help!

That last tip was legendary.. I will use that indefinitely from now on!

I was so overwhelmed before I watched this. Thank you so much!

This is such a great video. I find a lot of people to be so boring when they talk about this stuff. You kept my attention the whole time so I could actually learn some things. Thank you!

Thanks, I learned a lot. From you as well as from the comments from other users here. Thanks again.Keep it up.

Thank you Joe. This helped so much.

Super awesome, Joe. Thanks so much.

All of it, thanks dude!

Such a great video . Thank you !

I absolutely love how you make the mental struggle very relative thank you may the force be with you

Great vid, Joe. Still not done watching it. But already now it saved me a great deal of time and also will in the future. Thank you so much

Thank you joe for these tips some i didnt know great! &​easy

This is great! Thanks so much.

You said, "Gobs of time". I'm here because I'm new to Studio One, I paused the video, tried out what you were saying, every step of the way. You measured correctly, Gobs of time! Thanks

I love Studio 1 for its intuitiveness ❤️

Appreciate the video ... very helpful ... and your instructions are ALWAYS so clear and understandable ... TOP SHELF!!

That last part and the scrolling is saving so much time. The Alt +Z is Q#@#$#@ amazing. Ive been doing this manually for months!

Ah thank you so much :D I laughed especially on the audio manipulation in the end... I love it!

🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 that last tip 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Absolutely great tips though, most I already use, some I've learnt. Been a Studio One lover for 6 years after discovering V3 and moving from Pro Tools and Logic. I was banging on to anyone that would listen - and anyone that wouldn't - that Studio One is going to be the next big thing in DAWs. And so it's proved. I love it!

WOOHOO! Great stuff. Thanks! :D

Wow!!!! Fantastic video with a bunch of nuggets (especially someone going from PC to Mac)

This was super helpful, thank you!

This is very helpful. Thank you Joe. Efficiency is very important to me. Since I don’t have that much time on my hand to make music my studio is set up to be record ready within 1-2 minutes usually for spontaneous sessions. When I plan ahead for a longer session I even set everything up the night before so I am ready in under a minute. Saves sooooo much time and especially nerves.

loved the tips, definitely gave me alot of cool ideas to practice with. I need to get better with my shortcuts, stubborn.

Great tips Joe! Thanks soooooo much!

Great stuff for us “non-power users”. Seriously, I have two pages of notes and as soon as I feed the chickens, I’m headed out to the studio to rehearse them all. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing 👍!

Wow great info! Thanks!

Thanks Joe. Love the Last Tip!

Great and informativ Video - thanks for explaining Joe! 👍

Will rewatch later. Good stuff.

thanx man,very usefull!

Very helpful. Thanks.

Awesome. Thank you!!!

thanks Joe some good tips that I will incorporate

To zoom out full horizontal and vertical with one click I programmed a macro to do this. -select all -zoom to selection -deselect all

Been mixing for years but fixing "manually" though, the last few minutes of this vid will save me the most time

This is the kind of info I need and love. Quick, simple, detailed. Thanks Joe, and thank you Presonus! (Joe, do more of this style for HSC VIPers.)

Hi there Joe ! Thanks for the best video tutorial I have so far watched on Studio One. It's really helping me as a newbie to this DAW ! Time saving is really great and leaving time for creating and recording more music in less time. Best Regards . . . Eddie ( a UK Musician ).

I watched this last night and am watching it again today because it was eye-opening for me. I have been using Studio One Pro for a couple of years now and never explored the trackpad efficiencies Joe demonstrates in this video. Wow. This will transform how I use the tool. Thanks!

You are an excellent teacher. Good stuff thanks.

This is a must

Great channel! Thanks for your information I have learned a lot from you

Picked up a lot of cool stuff! Thanks, Joe!

Man, your a life saver. I really appreciate your videos. Loving Studio one 6 so far. You the man! To bad I'm a windows user:)

Lovely joe

Love your hair!

really Like! Fantastic video!

Thank you for your videos! I do not yet have studio one, I do like all of the hardware products that support studio one. It looks like the DAW program is very well laid out, efficient and very capable in a professional studio environment.

Wrote them down. Super helpful. Thanks.

I learned something today: Boom. Boom... BOOM 😂👌 Happy new year, Joe

Thank you for this. As a total noob this will help me a lot.

Wow! Thanks Joe! can't believe I've been S. O. user for years and didnt know these shortcuts.

I am not going to get tired because I am enjoying doin g this. However, you are helping me a lot.

You saved me hours of editing time by teaching me that Command + Option and drag trick when editing split items... holy crap, thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU lol

Good stuff

Thank you information

I would say that saved my day! Amazing, simple, smooth and fun to watch. Love PreSonus Joe and Gregor. It's just on point!

You can also right click on the timeline and select "Fit timeline to contents" and it will give you the global view you were looking for. There's no default shortcut key for this, but of course you can set one up.

The best studio one expert!!

One of my favorite things is templates. I love making templates, and going balls out on a record.

That trackpad looks heavenly

good stuff. thanks

My late additional tip I haven't seen here is (I am on Macbook Pro): while E and W zooms in and out horizontallhy, SHIFT E and SHIFT W zooms vertically in and out while the selected track stays central. I use it all the time. Thanks Joe - great vid(s)

Super. All the time.

Thank you sir thank you 🙏

Beautiful, where was this two years ago

Superb new sub dude ...

The trick with the function keys was with the price of admission... THANK YOU!!!

Tip when cutting an audio, always put cursor before transient then press TAB key and it will move it tighter to the transient. You then put the cut exactly on the marker (keep moving the scissors until you get the really thin cut line) When you cut it there more often than not you don’t get clicks so cross fades are less required.

Great primer for those of us moving from a different platform

Studio One Macros will allow you to zoom in and out horizontally and vertically, overview to loop level if you create them as such... lots of great videos out there that explain all the options and how to build Macros then ties them to the Macro tool bar and keyboard shortcuts

Awesome tips - that command shift S/M - made my day!!! Regarding the "Option -Z" at 9:00 if you like to change the horizontal not showing all the free space: go to song settings and edit the end of the song to the length of your song and it will zoom to that length. 13:30 - I think its easier if you just wanna know what that is - press 8 and click on the clip - that is one of my favorite features of Studio one!!

TY JOE! So helpful. Btw, I just made B my keyboard shortcut for "Create Bus For Selected Tracks", cause B was an open key, so no more drop down for me

Regarding zoom commands, the feature you are looking for at 9:30 exists already. Just make a macro with whatever zoom parameters you want and assign to a key. Maybe opt-z

Informative as always Joe, but there are those of us mixing with a faderport surface so a few of those tips don't apply,,,,Lol.... Just a jab my friend, I always look forward to comparing my studio one knowledge with yours, over the years I've learned some great stuff from you ,. Been on St. One since early version 3, when Presobus comped me being a SamAsh pro audio sales person,,,,,,,IVE NEVER LOOKED back (cubase, samplituse, Sonar, and a few others learned and left behind, Studio One just wins Hands down! KEEP IT UP BRO, GREAT STUFF

You're amazing

This is Hooping Joe - you are SUPER Hooping right now.......

Thank you Joe. Also, if you use a touch screen desk top/laptop you can do the same as the touch pad.

Plus the macros have lots of options that act as toggle on and off, as you mention for the solo example you gave, but also for presets if you need to disable presets during recording due to performance issues when you have a ton of presets running on many channels and busses

The scroll tips changed my mf LIFE thank u!!!

German guy here. Efficiency is key... always! :P

Just a couple of tips: 1 To focus on one track I nevertheless use Editor, much quicker than zooming in and then out. One press of F2, some fixing, F2 again and everything in arrange view is left how I remember it, but the track is fixed. Insane thing, always use it. 2 Global Solo remembers your choice in one more way, that I use aaall the time. Say, I selected several tracks, soloed em and then un-soloed them all using Global Solo. Now I press Solo on some other track, then on some other one (using Alt-click on Solo button), then one more, and I un-solo that last track using S button or press Solo button on the track. Now I use Global Solo and it returns that my first multi-track solo! That was a total game-changer for me, when I realized how it actually works. Presonus makes me feel fingerless in any other DAW after Studio One.

22:32 that slip cross fade short cut is da bomb! Clip Clip. Alt Cmd drag. X fade. Home by dinner! Thanks for that.

9:14 FYI, in Studio One 5.4.1 at least, it appears to work the way you said you wanted it to. Alt-Z (I'm on Windows) always zooms vertically and horizontally so that the session fills the available space, including adjusting for the Mixer/Edit pane if it's open. Horizontally it goes from the start of the song to either the End marker or to the right-most event in the Arranger, whichever is farther right. Horizontally it zooms so all tracks, layers, and enveloper are visible, even if there are some empty tracks at the bottoms of the arrangement.

I just got SO5 and it’s incredible folks. Definitely worth the $$$. I have large touchscreen and I have it tilted way back as I sit on a high stool and it’s almost like using a real console. Especially moving the sliders.

Don't know about you, but editing is the fun part for me :D

0:00 to about the 2:30 mark, I've got a more efficient, time saving method of saying everything you just said 0:00 video intro 0:10 "Tell me why being fast is bad" 0:12 *L O L* EPIC video, bro. Pure Epicness. Part Deuce?? EDIT: As long as your talking to the guys who create the DAW, you might ask them for the ability to resize channels in the mix widow. Sometimes, it'd be handy to grab a channel and make it wider. Would also be handy to view the level meter thing at a reasonable size. I've got better than 20/20 vision but, I'll be looking to make sure everything is at say -6db, and I can't see it cause it's so friggin small
