Hi Mike, thanks so much for the studio one tutorials you put out there. I've found so many really helpful and instructive. Your teaching tone is clear, precise and engaging. Your videos are a delight to learn from. Thanks x
I like how he says if you didn't like this video then hit the dislike button twice. If you hit it once you dislike the video but then if you hit again the dislike is removed and so you are neutral. Well played. But yeah this guy is by far the best in terms of explanation.
That’s a very good clarification you did there that it only records events not sounds. I was under the apprehension all along that I could plug in the 5 din cable and start playing the keyboard . Thanks.
What an epic video. So chilled and layed back really nails the information. I'm just starting out and and came across this by chance. Really glad I did makes it look easier than I thought 👍👍
Realy useful is your video.Wonderful explanation very clear and easy to understand your tutorial. Today I learned from you a lot and saved my time to learn by my self
Always a pleasure Mike. Thank you! NOTE-I have never seen this information in any manual or video: If you are importing a MIDI file that was recorded on a DAW not using a click (free loose tempo jazz, etc) you must have your DAW set to the same tempo as the DAW it was recorded on even if that tempo has nothing to do with the approximate tempo of the performance.
Velocity is NOT volume :) Velocity, effects volume, but velocity is how hard the the instrument is hit. Normal velocity in your V.S.T. is 100 for each note. Higher numbers hit the note harder and lower numbers hit the note softer. This is important because velocity changes the performance far more than volume. Don't use velocity to control volume. Bad idea. I am not criticising this helpful video, just trying to add to it. Maybe it is covered in another Creative Sauce (love that name) episode.
You have a great style of teaching. Thank you so much for this video. Studio One has so many features that I was easily overwhelmed. Your video showed me exactly what I needed to get in and make some music. Thanks again.
I stumbled onto this video; my goodness brother where in the hell have you been all my life?!! I really really learned something today and just couldn't get someone to dumb down so that I could follow you as you went along. I have way too many midi devices and have always felt intimidated b/c I thought it would take some massive amount of time to get down. But in ONE setting? Thank you brother, thank you! Please send more 'moments with you' lol.
Great relaxed, but very informative teaching style. I’ve tried a few DAW’s but can’t settle on one, which is obviously important to do if you want to learn it well. I think I may have finally decided to settle on studio One because it has such a clean and clear look to it. These videos are really helping, thank you.
If you didn't like this video, make sure to hit 👎👎 TWICE! haha Clever! I hit 👍👍👍 three times. Thank you for the most amazing video. It contained everything I wanted to know.
I paused the video after you selected your instrument and spent 3 hours trying to get instruments loaded, then when I came back you explained it. What is life anymore...
Thanks for all of your vids, all very informative. With regard to total midi control The Nektar keyboard controllers have a specific patch, this enables total midi control via a Nektar control over Studio One. Stay well.
I've watched two of you're videos so far. You are very informative in a short amount of time and keep it interesting. definitely subscribing. Thank you!
First a big THANK YOU! Then bouncing on sammy11411's comment: I've the same tools. What about a short video or text about which tool is the best and for what usage? The pro and cons of StudioOne and CakeWalk .... this would be great. Keep on posting anyway :-D.
Hi Olivier. I have a little explanation about why I use both on my website here (www.creativesauce.net/why-i-use-cakewalk-and-studio-one/). I'm a little hesitant to compare, as one is free and the other costs several hundreds of dollars. I will say however, that I found going from Cakewalk to S1 fairly painless, having used Cakewalk for 20 years or so. Certainly you should expect that Studio is, and can be used for professional releases, and then again, its quite possible to do that in Cakewalk :)
A third way and the fastest and quickest to enter the Edit Window is simply to 'Double Click' on the Midi Clip itself. That opens up the Edit Window and you're immediately ready to go.. Instruments you don't have to drag it all the way across, you can just drop it either on the mixer or the track Window and it will automatically set it up for you as well. The same goes for creating effects to which you're going to use Send. Drag and drop straight onto the mixer and done. NIce clear explanations of how things work, a little slow for my liking, but explained well. thanks.
Totally new to home recording always used the professionals 'til now. So I just got Studio One with the Presonus USB thing and I've gone cross eyed watching tutorials, I invested in a midi keyboard -- I cannot play keyboard, but this was by far and away the best tutorial I've seen up to now. You have a new subscriber. Thank you. And btw, which one is the undo key?
Great tutorial, thank you so much!! When I don't see the instruments and also don't find them for downloading I guess it's because I use the 30 day trial version..? I can see Artist Instruments in Presence. No piano there but I could use other instruments to foloow up. Thanks!
This video is well done, clear and very interesting. I ested with the keyboard controller and it works fine. Does not work Imitone as a midi device, but maybe the problem comes from Imitone.
This is a great tutorial! I'm having one issue though; I wonder if anyone could help? I have recorded some MIDI notes with my keyboard and dragged a virtual instrument onto the track so that it will play the notes, but when I press play, the notes are played very staccato (they are extremely short). On the screen, they appear to have the length they are supposed to, but when the virtual instrument plays them, they all sound completely staccato. I tried some different instruments and they all have the same problem. The MIDI information is correct, but the playback is wrong. What can I do to fix this?
@@martymcfly9803 Oh, don't worry about it, I got it figured out. I had added the same instrument twice, and one of them was added incorrectly. Once I deleted the incorrect one, it was fine. Thanks anyway though! :)
I would like to learn the shortcut key that allows Studio One to retain the MIDI keyboard inputs. This way, the stored key sequences can be readily recalled from memory and instantly translated into corresponding actions within Studio One by pressing a specific shortcut.
Я немного не понимаю по-английски, но здесь именно то, что мне нужно. Буду переводить на русский. Но вообще очень интересно, и даже плохо зная язык, я много чего понял, спасибо большое!
Thanks for sharing this One. Is there a way that I can step Record in studio One? Because I dont play the piano. Can I input the notes One by One using my RD 800 as my MIDI controlled? Thanks
I've tried to really get into Studio One after using Cakewalk for the past twenty years or so. Perhaps I am too ingrained in the Cakewalk world but I find midi editing so much easier there than in Studio One. If you could name three advantages of midi editing in Studio One as opposed to Cakewalk, what would they be?
@@CreativeSauce Good to know. I thought I might have been missing something big. Thanks for your videos. Always inspiring, entertaining and informative.
I find it confusing that what he calls velocity seems to mean volume, not ‘velocity’ (speed)! Otherwise, it provides me with the tools that I need. I combine audio tracks with my synth for most voices, but I am using MIDI to get better string sound...
When are you going to have a live Q&A, Mike. I've been doing really well thanks to your vids, but I still have a few basics that confuse me and I haven't seen you get into them yet in your vids. Please let me know, so I can prepare a few questions ahead of time. I'm sure others may be having the same issues. Thanks. - Jstn
Hi Mike, I'm Jan and I hope you're well 😁. Love your down to earth vids on home studio recording. I stepped into DAW style recording with your cakewalk vids But switched to presonus as a result of getting the artist version with my interface. Love studio one (had to upgrade to pro for the vst support I collected while using cakewalk) so I'm grateful that your tutorials have moved to studio one as well. Hope youll come round to an in depth piece of the chord track and the cord selector interface and all it can do. Ive done Everything you asked for: subscribed, rang the Bell and disliked twice 😉👌. Greetz, Jan from Holland
I've been cakewalk since 3.1, but have become a bit disillusioned by its getting left behind - Studio one has built in support for NI a series controllers and Presonus do their own hardware control surfaces. I can't see Cakewalk catching up anymore. Also S1 has got to be more stable than Cakewalk. So it's great to see these videos coming out to help an old brain get to grips with my demo version.... But just like my wish for CbB, a short video on the basics of S1 with Komplete Kontrol etc. would be great...
I'm using a Mininova and I get the original sound from the synth playing through studio one along with the midi effect! It's time delayed and makes it impossible to record along with! How do I disable the native sound coming from the keyboard. I literally mute every track, even the master track and I can still hear it. Thanks!!
Hello Mike How are you , I have exactly follewed the steps you suggested its working fine but the problem is no sound comes from first few keys from the midi keyboard , sound comes fine from all the other keys for any midi instument but the first few keys does not play , i am using a 61 key Yamaha PSR e463 digitel keyboard and using its midi feature, sound for any midi instrument comes starting from the F note (key) of the second octave, is theere any fix for this please
I'm having a problem when I am trying to play more than one midi track at the same time. Every instrument assigned to every track plays in my headphones, it only records that part I have selected, but if I unselect the ones i'm not using I can't hear the other parts which are bass and drums. Not a huge problem but a frustrating one, any advice would be helpful!
Hi Mike! 1) As I have understood Studio One (S1) can't load/receive SysEx data such as GM, GS and XG to reset to a external sound module device? In my case a Yamaha MU 80 to reach the lovely Yamaha XG sound banks. I can't find any such menus in S1. 2) Is it possible to load and use soundfonts in S1 or Cakewalk by Bandlab? I know It's possible in Cakewalk 9. 3) Is there any VST Yamaha XG plugins available to download and install? Thanks for your superb channel :) /Sincerely Peter
This was so well presented! I learned a lot, but I'm still having quite a lot of difficulty getting my Studio One DAW (Artist) to talk to my midi yamaha keyboard. It used to work, but now it doesn't any more and I don't know what I did differently, except I have a new computer (PC) Also, when I double click in the midi editing window of the midi track, it doesn't place a new note, the way it does for you. Can you recommend anywhere I can turn for troubleshooting these problems or to get some one on one help?? thank you!
Mike, Hi..I've just changed over to Studio One 6.2 and I am determined to finally get the hang of MIDI! I noticed that all the midi notes on your demo were two tone (dark blue and light blue, left and right respectively). What does this two-tone illustration mean exactly? I either missed it on your video, or it wasn't there.
how do i assign individual midi channels to each vsti instrument ? right now i have 4 tracks, a different instrument on each track, but when i go to play parts on track 4 i can hear the other instruments being triggered also. how do i get it to play/record only that particular track/instrument without it triggering all the other vsti's ? many thanks !
I have a problem. I saw notes on the piano grid before when zooming with the mouse but I cannot see the notre anymore in the grid. How to reactivate that ? I see the notes on the piano left side, I see notes on the note if I go on it with the mouse but the note itself is not written on them automatically, giving clear info of what piano note is in the grid !
