How to Move Audio Events to New Tracks WITHOUT Layers
In this video, I demonstrate how to move audio events to a new track WITHOUT moving all the associated layers. Although Layers can be useful, once the final comp is done, many producers and engineers prefer to move the comp to a brand new track, leaving the original track(s) as backup.

From this point, it's very easy to consolidate the new audio, and work with the final rendered resulting audio events.

In this video, I take a look at working with Scenes in Studio One Version 5.5. As of this latest 5.5 update we now have the ability to recall automation between scenes - but in addition to the traditional mindset of creating alternate Mix Versions that can be recalled, Scenes can also be used for many additional workflows.

Free Series - Studio One for Pro Tools Users
In this free video series - I take a look at learning Studio One coming from a Pro Tools perspective.
All Videos embedded / available on this Page!
In a recent post I made note of the fact that I had plans to do DAW specific content for Studio One Users. More specifically - New Studio One Users who are either making an effort to learn this new DAW, or transitioning over from DAW’s such as Logic, Pro Tools, etc.
Seeing that I have already created some specific content for Studio One User’s making the move from Logic Pro X - Today, I am happy to announce that my latest Youtube Playlist: Studio One One for Pro Tools Users (Embedded Above) has gone live.
As with the last one, a few notes on this Playlist:
This series (YT Playlist) will continue to be expanded upon. I will be adding additional videos as soon as they are ready. I already have quite a few recorded but not yet edited / exported, as well as more to record - So I would urge you to bookmark this playlist and subscribe to my Youtube Channel so that you can be notified as these new video’s become available.
If I’m being honest, these video’s are not necessarily aimed at beginners - but rather intermediate / advanced users who are coming from Pro Tools and are looking for direct comparisons (coming from the Pro Tools perspective)
I have created these videos (which in my personal opinion cover a lot of ground) in what I perceive to be the most logical order. Everything from a basic getting started, to setting up your interface properly to understanding how to monitor and record properly, to being able to edit and mix. I would advise watching these in sequence to get the most out of the series, but they can be easily watched standalone to brush up in specific areas.
I’ve chosen to omit certain areas that I feel don’t need to be overly explained. I think it’s safe to say that there are certain features in all DAW’s that translate across the board. With this specific series, I’m really trying to point out the things that aren’t immediately obvious. Or to put in into a different perspective - the things that I wish someone would have shown me when I made the move.

In this video, I take a look at how to properly setup your interface including a full overview of the Studio One io setup (and how it differs from Pro Tools), as well as some additional details.
In this video, I take a look at how to set up Studio One's software monitoring to achieve a Pro Tools "Auto-Input Monitoring" style workflow, in addition to how to bypass software monitoring when using interfaces that ship with a low-latency monitoring software based mixer (or consoles). I also compare the differences between Pro Tools Low Latency Monitoring mode vs Studio Ones' Native Low latency Monitoring for Audio tracks and Virtual Instruments.
In this video, I give a general overview of the basic editing tools available in Studio One - in addition to some general tips when working with selection based editing.
In this video, I take a deep dive into Studio One's Automation including a few key preferences that Pro Tools users might find useful, and how it compares to similar functions in Pro Tools (in general). In addition I also go over some features unique to Studio One.
In this video, I demonstrate a variety of Drag and Drop workflow possibilities when using Studio One. In addition, we take a look at creating FX Sends in Studio One, and some considerations to take into account for specific cases.
In this video, I demonstrate the key differences between Pro Tools' Audiosuite Processing vs Studio One's Event FX. In addition - we also take a look at how ARA (Audio Random Access) works on Audio Events, using Melodyne Studio as an example.
In this video, I go over some Studio One behaviours / preferences that Pro Tools Users will undoubtedly run up against - and more specifically how to either 'fix' them (so Studio One behaves 'more like' Pro Tools) or how to get around them.
In this video, I demonstrate how to achieve an exact 1:1 of "Pro Tools style" Tab to Transient editing in Studio One. This covers everything from which key commands to program - to additional Studio One preferences that will make Pro Tools Users feel at home.
In this video, I demonstrate a utility plug-in unique to Studio One called the Splitter. Although it has multiple uses - this video will focus on using the Splitter in place of the traditional Parallel Processing Mixing workflow that Pro Tools Users might be accustomed to, involving the use of Sends and Aux Tracks.
In this video, I demonstrate some of the Console Options / Preferences that Pro Tools users should be aware of. In addition, I also take a look at working with Mix Engine FX in PreSonus Studio One.
In this video, I demonstrate the various different methods of exporting Audio in Studio One - and how they compare to Pro Tools. Including; Track Transforming, (Instrument tracks and Audio Tracks) Bouncing, using "Mixdown Selection", Exporting your Song, Exporting Stems (Tracks and Channels) in addition to how to setup multiple outputs when working with Virtual Instruments.
In this video, I demonstrate how to use the Import Song Data feature, in PreSonus Studio One. More specifically how it works, a few settings that users need to be aware of, and how it can be used in practical workflow scenarios.
In this video, (Chapters Available) I demonstrate some of the unique features in Studio One - that don't necessarily have a Pro Tools equivalent, including: The Arranger Track, Scratch Pads, Song Versions, Scenes, Creating Custom Macros, and The Chord Track.
In this video, I demonstrate the different Record Modes in Studio One, including Preroll, Autopunch, Precount, and the default manual mode. In addition, I also cover the importance of the 'Pre-Record Audio Input' preference.
In this video, I demonstrate the 'Takes to Layers' function in Studio One, and Loop Recording - More specifically how it compares to Pro Tools Playlists' including the similarities and differences.
In this video, I demonstrate how to achieve an exact 1:1 Pro Tools style comping workflow in PreSonus Studio One. But perhaps more importantly, I demonstrate the lightning fast "Studio One Style" quick-swipe comping (which I personally believe to be significantly faster, and more user friendly).
In this video, I demonstrate everything you'll ever need to know about creating Cue Mixes (Headphone Mixes, Foldback Mixes) in PreSonus Studio One. I cover best practices, and how to navigate all the different situations you'll encounter when tracking.
In this video, I give a basic overview of working with Instrument tracks in Studio One (vs Pro Tools) in addition to covering the MIDI Editor, basic MIDI Editing, setting up and using MIDI Controllers, as well as some unique MIDI based workflows in Studio One, and a few tips along the way.
In this video, I go over some of the bread and butter stock Studio One Plug-ins - and offer suggestions as to which Studio One plug-ins to use in place of specific stock Pro Tools Plug-ins. (See Chapters for more info).
How to Conform a Free-time MIDI Performance to a fixed BPM In PreSonus Studio One

Parallel Compression on Drums Using The Splitter Plug-in In Studio One 5.2+
In this video, I take a look at my basic workflow when using parallel compression on Drums in Studio One with the new Splitter Plug-in. (added in Version 5.2) The splitter has been around for some time now, and I have used it from time to time, but I must admit that there was always a bit of a disconnect for me, until this recent update, that is.
