I'm an artist, and I of course knew that punch-in is a basic function when recording music in studios, but after I got my own ministudio, I couldn't believe how difficult it was to find out where and how to activate it. So thank you for the very much needed and simple explanation!
Joe I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your videos over the years. You are a very good teacher and I enjoy your added sense of humor. I have learned so much from you that I had previously failed to fully understand in my many years recording. Between switching to Studio One Sphere and watching tons of you and Gregor's tutorials, the sound of my recordings and mixes have improved beyond my dreams. THANK YOU! Keep up the great work.🙂
I've come back to this one a few times and it's now in permanent memory, especially after I used it this morning to fix some vocals on my upcoming single. This helped a ton!
As always, Joe's and Gregor's StudioOne videos are the BEST, bar none. What isn't the best is my efforts to get a foot-pedal to get "previous marker", "record", and "stop" functions implemented.GRRR
Joe, thanks so much for your videos… When I was starting with so3 first thing I did was downloading a huge video course to know AALLL THE functions, shortcuts, macros and stuff… and then when following versions came out I always did the same thing. I like to think that I know functionality of so perfect (because I put a lot of time learning it), but Shit! Every single time you pop up a new video - it’s something not just new, but SUPER useful for me…! You’re amazing! Please keep up this job! You’re helping so much!
Daaaamn. I wish I knew this was a thing a few years ago! I've been recording about 10 versions of a track and then picking the best bits. Which as you can imagine, takes a long time! Can't wait to play with this feature!
THANK YOU!! After watching this and others like it AND trying these things maybe only 100 times, I almost think I'm about to make a break through and accomplish this feat of amazing magic very soon!!!!!! but seriously,. wow this stuff is a major learning curve but you start to see the possibilities quickly. Going to be fun....
Pre-roll is something that Cakewalk didn't have and a feature I use all the time in Studio One. OIf course, auto-punch is handy for dropping in the middle, but the pre-roll is so nice for dropping in new parts as you work through a song - and the "pre-record audio input" doesn't hurt either since it allows you to flub the exact start points and still recover what was recorded. That said, it sure would be handy if that "loop selection" and "punch selection" could be separate things (like they were in Cakewalk), so you could loop a wider region than the punch points - a nice 1, 2 punch (pardon the pun).
Thanks Joe....technology is sooo cool.... I remember the days when studio engineers had to peak their skills when it comes to punching.....it's a breeze now.... Thanks again
We've been with Studio One for at least 8 years and never learned about the loop functionality as it relates to the punch record mode. It's probably in the user's manual somewhere. 🤭 Thanks, Joe Gilder.
Punching-in is underrated. I used to be the punch-in king on my Tascam 244 but when digital came along I got seduced by comping. Not only did that result in a hard disk full of junk but my playing skills quickly degraded - hey why try for one good take when you can spend a couple of hours cobbling together a so-so take from a dozen sloppy takes? 😱 So I went back to punching-in. It's quicker and if it takes me 20 tries to get that bit right I obviously needed the practice! 👍
Why aren't you punching in and out on a different track? Back in the old days (80's) of tape we used a foot switch. If we needed to punch in and we would just grab another track. Usually we had at least three of four empty tracks (16 track studio) for comparison, before we were forced to mix down. With products like Vidami on the market, I have no idea why Studio One can't do the same thing. Thanks for the video. Your last option looks the best for me.
I don't use punch in often, but noticed that even when set up to record, I can't monitor the previously recorded parts of the track leading up to the punch point. I set up my track with the record and monitor buttons turned on. Any ideas why? Thanks!
As many people said, Studio One needs improvement in this area. It’s first and foremost a recording tools, so I think this should really be addressed. My number one request for Studio One is loop recording with a separately selectable recording area. Say I’m playing a guitar solo from bar 8 to 16. I want to be able to loop from bar 7 to 17, to have a little breathing space between takes, but stiil only record bars 8 through 16. Of course, background audio recording should be active, so that if I play a little early, as Joe did in the video, I can get the audio back. It’s not by chance that almost every other DAW does this and if we’re talking about a recording app I feel it’s basic functionality.
I agree that this is basic functionality and its absence makes loop recording much less usable. There is a feature request for this in the community section of the Presonus website that appears to have been disregarded for years.
Say Joe G. Sir is there a nudge click available on Studio One 6.5??? A lot of time I want to unit some recording parts together but then I myself have to thru sliding one sample or a wav part with mouse tediously bk and forth till I get it or don’t since not everything sits on a grid line. I just saw on line that ProLogic doesn’t have that nudge ability either! Soooo is Studio One 6.5 just not planning on adding a nudge ability or perhaps in the future??? Thanks Joe you the man my brother!!! Friday 5/10/2024 Sincerely A.Mill
I’m a new Sphere member. So far, I love Studio One 5. But, where is my L & R Locators for auto punch? I know I can use the loop on the ruler, but I like to put the precise seconds in when I punch. I see it on your transport so I figure I need to select some preference. Please help this fellow Nashville musician out.
Am I able to auto punch in and out, in loop record to layers, with a preroll before each take? If not, how does one deal with the subsequent takes after the first pass? Would this be a function Presonus could add?
It would be nice if there was a way to have a one or two bar precount automatically when choosing where to auto punch in/out, rather than having to do it manually. Most other DAW's have this
Great video. But the issue I'm facing is, I set the markers for punching in and out. If I make a mistake in recording and want to redo it, the marker brackets (aka, loop brackets) jump to other sections of the song and I have to reset the markers for in and out, over and over and over again..... very frustrating! How do I get the friggin markers to stay in place after each take?
@@burnedguitar93 I did fix it recently.... trying to remember... In Studio One, top left corner is the Wrench icon... click that, it opens the options to select, or deselect. DEselect either "solo follows selection", or "instrument input follows selection"... I don't recall which one, but play with those two (or others like that) and it should then hold the loop brackets in place, as my previous comment talks about. Let me know if that helps! Thanks
Well GR I've been clicking and unclicking those boxes in the wrench icon but I haven't found the solution yet. If you have time can you take a look at your settings and let me know where you ended up?
@@burnedguitar93 Hey burnedguitar93... ok, I poked around in Studio One, and remembered how I did it! So, along the top of the "Arranger Window" is that "ruler" with the numbers (bars) of your song. RIGHT click anywhere in that ruler, and you'll see a drop-down menu (I'm on a PC, so not sure if it's the same on a Mac, if you're on one)... UNCHECK "Loop Follows Selection" !!! That will make sure the loop brackets do not move whenever you click elsewhere in the song! Let me know if that does it for you!
Hey S1 Experts, how do i unlock the busses in the ARRANGE window so i can say.. move the bus track anywhere around in the arrange window, not the mix window. tried looking in all the preferences, probably an amateur move on my part but anything helps! THANK YOU
I personally think this is a part where Studio One needs improvement. In Pro Tools we have pre roll and post roll, which also works in Quick Punch mode (similar tu SO’s Auto Punch) would love to see that future as well in Studio One that I can use Auto Punch but it always start 2 bars before and a bar after🙌🏼
The auto punch in-out is something I really miss coming from Pro Tools after 25 years. You can set a pre in SO but there’s no out punch and keep rolling. It would be nice to have this feature in SO. (Studio One) Just makes recording sense to me and not so cumbersome. 🤔 That being said, SO is awesome. 👍 I’ve been enjoying it since V3. 😊
Cool video. I have a question. I Reason Studios, you can just record several takes and choose which sections of each take you want to make one whole and perfect recording from the pieces of all your takes. It was fluid and easy and automatically done. Is there anything equivalent in Studio One?
Joe - is there a way for the monitor button to follow the punch in? I'm talking about the toggle next to the red circle that indicates the track is armed. When punching in, at the beginning, it should NOT be selected so that the artist can hear previous effort - know when to come in, and then when they start singing, it should auto arm, otherwise they cannot hear themselves. Currently, the recording punches in the correct spot automatically, but if I delay in pressing the monitor where the performer can hear themselves, they get throwed off.
It would be great if we can get something that records as follows. Set a continuous loop, inside the loop we have markers or beacons, that we can set addionaly where the punch in would start and the punch out woud stop recording. For exampple I want to records bar 4 to bar 6. I set these markers on these bars to punch in and out and also add my loop markers to loop from bar 2 to bar 7. In this way my hands is completely free to loop record bar 4 to bar 6, untill it is right.
I use a Studio 192 with zero latency monitoring and could never figure out how to use “tape mode” monitoring for punching in. During the preroll I can’t hear audio from the track to be recorded, which in some circumstances makes it difficult to get in sync with the existing track. Any suggestions for hearing existing audio on a track when using blue Z monitoring?
love your tutorials Joe, how do I send the playback track to the aux sends in studiolive 16,4,2 mixer to the musicians in the studio for punchin,they are not hearing the playyback tracks ,is that cause i have to select fiewire output playback for them? I'm confused.In the control room I hear everyone.They have to come into the control room to punch in.what am I doing wrong?
I'm sorry Joe and PreSonus, auto-punch doesn't seem to work for me/on my system. Was trying it with clients in the last few weeks and followed the exact instructions and it starts recording from where I have the playback cursor, not just the loop brace/timeline selection (with auto-punch selected). Is there a setting I'm missing? (using latest iteration of Studio One 5).
In around 2001, I was sitting in on a session with some friends. To this day, I swear the engineer zoned out mid-punch. He punched in, then had an acid flashback or something, because he never punched out. They had to rerecord that whole section.
Auto punch is a lifesaver for us guitar players working alone!
A glaring omission in Studio One is cycle punch record in (all the major DAWs heave this) No idea why this is left out in S1
I vehemently support this comment
are you talking about when it keeps recording within the loop so you can keep recording takes?
Ok, this is phenomenal advice. I've known about pre roll but the auto punch using the loop function is a game changer for me! Thanks Joe!
I'm an artist, and I of course knew that punch-in is a basic function when recording music in studios, but after I got my own ministudio, I couldn't believe how difficult it was to find out where and how to activate it. So thank you for the very much needed and simple explanation!

Fantastic. Awesome. TY
It would be nice if the loop selection mark/bar would be red when you have pre-roll or punch turned ON. Or gray with a thin red line on the top.
That is a GREAT idea!
So helpful! I couldn't figure out how to re-record a section without overwriting stuff before or after! Thank you!
Just imagine that the slash is leaning forward: / as a forward slash, or backward: \ as a backlash and you will never be confused again.
THANK YOU!!

I do that with “layers”, which is kind of a different track and the same track at the same time.
Anyone know the shortcut to record so I don’t have to keep going to the actual record icon so I can punch In correctly
Huge help brother...very straight forward instructions...thank you.

@@philfyphil Definitely 100%. It's weird. Tried multiple times.

If you hit record during playback, it ignores the auto punch. You must start record from being stopped.
