How to hear your Live Input AND Previously Recorded Audio when Using Green Z & Tape Style Monitoring

In this video, I'm going to tackle a subject that I've been hesitant to put under a spotlight for a while now. Why? Well, In general - I find that "workaround" videos are generally met with a lot of negativity. And if there's one thing that truly bothers me, it's negativity. Also for me personally, I don't really find the issue to be bothersome, but I know that many other users do.

Furthermore, it's really only relevant when using a very specific combination of monitoring, (which just so happens to be the one that I use) being:

1) Monitoring Mutes Playback (Tape Style) enabled

2) Native Low Latency Monitoring (Green Z) enabled

Free Series - Studio One for Logic Pro X Users

For quite some time now, I have had the idea to show DAW specific content for new Studio One users looking to either add Studio One to the list of DAW’s that they work in, or make the permanent move.

With that being said, I am super pleased to release my first series “Studio One For Logic Pro X Users”. But before you get started, I just want to take a moment to outline a couple key points:

1. This series (YT Playlist) will continue to be expanded upon. I will be adding additional videos as new ideas come to me, or as requests come in. I already have 2-3 additional videos that I plan to record soon, so watch this space..

2. I have created these videos under the assumption that any LPX user understands the absolute fundamental basics of working within a DAW. So there are some things that I have omitted in an effort to spend my efforts delivering what I consider to be valuable information for those who already have a specific workflow in place, and just want to get going in as little time as possible.

3. I’ve chosen to go with a YT Playlist because I want all of this information to be available in ONE PLACE - vs users having to search far and wide for separate videos released at separate times. I really love the idea of someone being able to bookmark the URL - and visit back, as new content is released or as a refresher.

4. I cover A LOT of ground in each one of these video’s - and although each video has a very specific title - I have done my best to offer as much information as possible on each specific task. There might be some overlap here and there, but I’ve tried to stay on point, and not repeat myself too many times.

5. This content was made with the kind support of the good people at PreSonus.

So with all that being said - I hope you enjoy the series, and look forward to adding to this playlist - and also venturing into “other” DAW’s with a similar format in the near future.

WHY You Should Calculate and Set a Record Offset in PreSonus Studio One

Have you ever wondered if the audio you’re capturing is coming in exactly as expected? I mean, we’re really splitting hairs here, when we talk about sample accuracy - but never the less, I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have your system set up with the right settings, to guarantee you’re getting exactly what you think you are.

In this video, I demonstrate how to calculate (and set up) a Record Offset for your audio interface in PreSonus Studio One. In addition, I also talk about WHY it's important.

Native Low Latency Monitoring (Green Z) - With Tape Style Monitoring In PreSonus Studio One

For anyone who has ever recorded in a DAW - Latency is (and always has been) something that one needs to combat. That being said, there are way’s to get around this. The easiest being running a separate software Mixer that pairs with an Audio Interface - which routes an Audio input directly to the output, and merges it with the Main Outs of your DAW. But these require a user to run 2 separate applications, when recording.

Then there are DSP based systems which are a little more elegant such as Pro Tools HDX, and the relatively newer LUNA based recording system from Universal Audio. Both these systems handle latency by offering a Low Latency Monitoring Path - which can be used when tracking.

Furthermore, a lot of systems will use an “Auto-Input Monitoring” style workflow when handling these low latency paths.

But did you know that as of Version 3.5 - Studio One has something similar that works Natively without the need for DSP? This is by far one of my absolute favourite features, and gets used for 99% of the work I do.

In this video, I demonstrate my favourite combination of Monitoring that I like to use when tracking with my Quantum system in PreSonus Studio One.
