How Layers Work in  

There's also an option for Recording to Layers! Hit the settings gear in the transport at the bottom of the screen and click Record to Layers. This allows you to record each layer without having to create a new layer each time. If you record it will automatically make a new one

I've been watching Studio One layer vids all night. This is the only one that matters.

Joe, this comment is not about the video itself it is about you as a teacher. You are a natural. Your teaching style is fantastic. I am a Uni professor and have won every teaching award available but you, mate, you are better. I am a S1 professional user and every time I have a doubt, your videos have the answer and it is so enjoyable to watch them!!!! Keep up the good work.

7:00 the ability to nudge the beginning and end of each promoted section is soooooo helpful.

Studio One is quickly becoming the ultimate recording solution. I've recently ditched my multi track recorders and gone completely computerised. It hasn't been easy, but Studio One is really proving itself to be the ultimate recording environment, along with my 16.0.2 Presonus Studio Live mixer.

Ok, this has become my go-to video for every time I just need to laugh. Thanks Joel! You really know how to rejoice without mocking, a skill we all need to develop.

Thought it said "lawyers" for a second, I was like "damn, Studio One does EEEEVERYTHING"

Thank you, Joe! Great video (as always)! Just one remark to speed up the workflow even more: Whenever I want to preview (can you say prelisten?) parts of the layers, I just click into the waveform while holding the ALT key. Doing so, you don't have to switch between the layers and solo them one after another. Presonus rules - and so do your video tutorials!

using s1 for 10 years now and still learning it always

I was looking for this feature since in Cubase it's called Track versions. I'm happy I found this. S1 is getting better and better!

This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for today. Thanks Joe and Presonus

Had me fooled with that intro. Glad to see you guys are having some fun while promoting your product!

hey Joe. I was working on a song and found out that I didn't know anything about how to use layers. In a matter of minutes, I was able to find this video and I just want to emphasize how extremely fun your video content is. I'm smiling while I'm learning. Of course, Gregor is a legend as well, but keep it up Joe. Thank you.

2 of my new favorite things: Studio One and your tutorials. Plus, I'm in Chattanooga so it's nice to know someone as close as Nashville is making these videos.

Is he Impersonating Gregor in the beginning?😂😂😂 Good job Joe🎉🎉🎉

Best 13 mins of my day so far!

If tutorials are supposed to be like this, I'd never stop learning 😂😂 ❤️ That intro, "bunk", "little secret", etc. super hilarious. Watched again n again 😍😍 The content was useful as always.

I have been deleting these out of ignorance lol 😂 Now I understand their purpose thanks Joe😂🤷🏽‍♂️

Outstanding Video Joe! Thank you! Feeling like Schoolhouse Rocky, Knowledge is Power!! This video is officially saved and added to my list of favs!!

DUUUUUDEEEEE. This is massive. Thank you

Love your tutorials, Joe. Thanks!

...brilliant video - short, sharp, to the point, and wow, this app is amazing! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks so much for going into more detail. I saw the first short video, promptly forgot, and this really anchors it in my small brain. Thank you!

This feature is bonkers. Love it and can't wait to put it to use! Thanks for the super helpful walkthru.

Great video! Two of my favorite things. Recording and hamburgers! Thanks for all you have taught me!

Do you know how much time you probably just saved me in future recordings? Wow!!!!

Man I LOVE this information! All of these videos give me things I wouldnt think of on my own

One-minute videos are great! I've learned quick hacks that improved my workflow. Thank you!

Great - as always!!

Thanks Joe God Bless you!

Great job, Joe!!

I never knew this, but I’m excited to try it out

Can't wait to try. Thanks!!

This is great to know, Joe! Thanks!

Excellent tutorial!!!!!

Nice! I was looking for a way to comp takes together similar to how I used to in Sonar, very helpful

Thanks Joe you answered my layers question! And also, thanks for showing how many things are possible with studio one! It's like a programming language one will never be able to do it all!

I Love you, Joe...Always with great content! And so hilarious, like I've literally watched 5 videos straight because of how good you explain things. Studio One is a Super Great Audio Software... And I recommend it everywhere and to all my Producer or Engineer friends.

Fantastic tool, I return to your video to tell you that I used the layers and what a way to save time, before I cut piece by piece and thus I put together my main track, but now I just select and that's it. Thanks for so many great tips.

Holy hell I've been watching you for a long time and love your teaching style...but that accent, perfectly said and honest to God the funniest thing I watch online...over and over and over. After 6 months of watching this classic intro, I've finally benefitted from the actual use of "layers." I could watch this intro a thousand more times and I will. Always been meaning to thank you. You did it so authentically, I pissed my pants the very first time!

This is AMAZING!!!

I was just thinking about this very thing. Thank you!

You're awesome Joe! :-)

Awesome thanks! I have a template I made for recording lead vocals, but I usually do additional vocals in the main song file after importing the lead, so this will come in handy. I'm sure I use 10% of S1's functionality, love the videos you guys make keep them coming!

Great video. Really well put together. Thank you sir.

That was awesome!!! (the intro man... AWESOME!!!)

Please move "layers follow selection" to preferences or give us the option to have it off as default. If you forget to turn it off and you edit something on the top layer, you will edit the rest of them without seeing it. But more crazy, if you make a template with "layers follw selection" off and you duplicate the track, S1 will turn it on again on the new track. That's plain crazy and not useful at all. I totally LOVE S1 and I use it every day, but I hope they will fix this in the next update.

killer! thank you!!!

very useful as always!

"...and wah!"

Brilliant! I never knew. Thanks man, great info!

Great tutorial 👌 Thank you ❤

The grouping part lost me a bit, but this video was super useful. I have A LOT to learn!

love it!

Thanks so much, Joe. It's save my life.

That is SO slick!

Great stuff.

hahahahahahahaha!!!! Loved the intro!!!!!!!!! I think I´ve literally seen ALL your videos Joe!!! Learn a lot!!!

I've got this one bookmarked, so helpful! :-)

Great vid very helpful informative and WANG! 😆👍

Greaaat! Thanks!

O wuv you Joe. The videos are do REAL!

You can also have Studio One create layers by recording over your previous take. You have to turn it on in settings. I always have a record track at the top of my session and just drag the takes down as I work through the song. Great video, I always learn something when I come here. :-)

Your Modus Operandi is the way I have worked for a while - got there myself but this is great for newcomers.

Aye, no bad intro accent, joe. I await your Scottish trad album soon!!

Hi Joe, that was one of the best videos I watched produced by you. It was great, simple and straight to the point. Captivating and easy to follow. Liked the accent. Did you know that you don't have to add a new layer each time, that you can set Studi One to 'Takes to Layers,' by changing the 'Record Mode' on the 'Record Panel?' Of cause you do, you just forgot to mention it. But thanks, I never relealised that you could access each layer via the inspector. Thanks Joe, great job. I think a lot of us would miss out on a lot of the great features of Studio One if it wasn't for the likes of yourself and Gregor. Until the next time, have a good day.

So many people be sleeping on this daw I branched out to ableton this past year to satisfy all my friends I jam with and just went back to my true love which is studio one! ☝️

Dicas Fantásticas! Obrigado!

Yes, this type of easy and straightforward editing and layers is why I have chosen to exclusively use only use STUDIO ONE. I have found overall Studio one is the overall easiest and best to make quick and easy tracks. Good show and thanks for being mature I know you know what I mean! Good job!

That....would've saved me literal DAYS over the years. FML...

Cool video... your always teaching good stuff...

Bounce chic-a bounce bounce!

Funny and informative!!

u nailed it lhh

awesome intro!

Wow okay, interesting 👏🏾

Cool Feature Joe

0:40 Joe goes to grab his glasses but completely misses it , great video as always J.G

very nic - thanks

I like you, Joe, keep up the good works, today you made me laugh

Hi Joe, studio one is amazing or what!!! I didnt know about layers, goodbye to multiple tracks for capture love studio one the best daw

Outstanding video. I still miss a deep tutorial from Presonus on Atom SQ

Would be nice to have layers in the Project Page. Could have each layer assigned to different mastering effects (If you could assign different plugins to each), enabling them when each one becomes the active layer, to compare the different results.

Teddy Riley does toggle between layers, make cuts, use different effects and toggle between which is killer. For RB and Hip Hop it works great.

For a second I frowned thinking "was this guy had this kind of accent?" lol

i like the introduction Joe hahaha

Wow!

You are so ooo funny. Basic, but absolutely essential info for us beginners. I'm Ballinthejack on Distro kid, Spotify, Deezer, etc. Thank you Joe.

4:00 In the software of our company, in such cases we always say to customers "Unexpected way of use" and I have to say, some customers are really very creative 😁.

I❤studio one

that intro killed me LMFAO

Thank you Joe! But could you please explain where is a video about takes and loop recording that you announced in this video? I'm looking for that but I've found only this one about layers.

niceeee

I love to see the plug-in sr, cheers

Great video Joe, I'm new to Studio One, so it took me a while to find this. It's actually how it's been working in Logic Pro X for years. But Logic calls it takes and you don't have to "create' a new layer, you can just hit record and it records the layer (take) over the previous one and keeps both so you can comp afterwards.

Can you dynamically keep adding layers on a loop record? EDIT: Solution: Just loop your section and turn on “record takes to layers” on the recording panel.

Aye mate!

No regrets moving from 🍓 to studio one

I wonder if you could record takes or layers and hear them together when they loop like you can with a hardware looper to build motifs ?

the 3rd take had character though ;-) ahahahah
