Exactly, then it gives me space to keep another useful tool under command+click (I personally like listen tool as my alternative) I don’t see the point in having split tool there. Maybe I’m missing something.
Joe's the best! Thank you for all you do on these videos. In my opinion with recent changes at avids approach to price gouging producers. I feel studio one is eventually gonna be the affordable pro tools.
OMG Joe what a great video that link thing coupled with the ctrl 1 1 1 1 1 is brillant. Thank you so much. This is somethingI will really use. For years I never understood how to get around the up and down the menu syndrome. Thank you thank you thank you. Definitely your top work flow tip. GOD bless Tony
Im very thankful for this video! I have been so confused by these tools. This is my first DAW and I would find that when I actually got it to do what I wanted it to do I couldnt duplicate it the next day! Thanks for the help!
Cheers Joe! Just to add, If you have the arrow and range tools linked you can also split the audio by just double clicking the top half of the event, you can also open the audio editor by double clicking in the bottom half of the event. big time saver.
Just beat me to it Jimmi. Was about to say the same. And its a lot quicker than having to hover over Ctrl. Im surprised he didnt know that. Our way ( like how its become our way lol ) you can use 4 tools at the same time. Wayyy faster than what hes doing.
Hi Joe thank you for this, some of this i discovered earlier before i saw this video :) (not trying to show off) yours and Craig's videos are always useful But by default i have the the arrow and the selection tool switched on. when the selection tool is engaged you can also double click to split without having to use the split tool. just sharing ;)
2mins and 30 seconds intro that are worth it sooo much :) i relearned DAW by switching to S1 from 25 years of cubase. worked with both for 1 year to progress with a friend on a chune (he swedish S1 user / me german cubase from atari ST user) and after that year i didnt wanna go back to cubase at any time. i used the cracked version for 2 months and became a sphere member after that. f*ck dongles btw. - i HATED that kind of protection when i was goin out with just my notebook. anyways: you and gregor ROCK - i consumed so many vids of you both - they are so interesting and just gooood. helped me a lot. motivated me. learning that things can go simple and fast was the key to step away from my old thinking. you guys take the best from all the DAWs (thankfully a lot of the good from cubase) and even make stuff used often way more simple. i am a f*cking fanboy!
very informative, thank you. I use AutoCAD for work so i really understood what you meant just diving in and "making the music" before you understand everything about the tool. im thinking about upgrading from artist to professional in studio one as I am fairly new to recording my drums and mixing but it is slowly becoming a major hobby for me.
Careful, you'll get so pulled in. I've been doing this now for 43 years and have spent 10s of thousands on it as a hobby come semi-pro. But I haven't regretted any of it. At least now it's cheaper to get started and easier to find and get help. So go for it and I hope you get a kick out of it. One word, never be afraid to experiment, never think that I can't do that because you don't have the perfect or even the right tool(s) for the job. The best sounds come from improvisation and are by far the most rewarding and satisfying. And I believe also provide you with your best musical inspiration. It's not what you've got, but how you use it.
Hello! Add to Sample One the ability to mute one, two or more samples if I use layers Add customisation browsr. Let's make the font bigger. Allow colorization of your favorite samples in explorer.
Hi Joe, great video. I hadn't realised that I was already working that way. I only found out when I went to set it up. But one thing you might be able to help me with is the Range Tool when selected and you press ALT on a PC (Windows) you get a PLUS sign + come up along side it; but I can't figure out what exactly that does. It comes up and appears to disable the cursor! It's like big Cross and tiny cross side by side. Isn't that sweet! 🙂 Take care, now you hear!
Thank you Joe for this video! There's one more thing to know: The secondary tool work's also with small track heights! For example, when the track height is set to "tiny". In addition, you can select the tools from the toolbar by clicking on the mouse wheel.
I wish when holding the cmd key (on mac) that it would not only select the alternate tool, but that it would select again 2 alternate tools with top and bottom half. This would mean that with the tip I read in the other comments that a double click splits as well, then we basically would get 5 tools in this quick access manner. @PreSonus Audio Electronics
Also click on the bottom half opens the track in edit mode so when 2 tools are set, Arrow and Range we already have 2 other tools. As you said double click top half to split and bottome half to edit. This also works with midi
Hi Joe, thanks for all your videos, I bought a Studio one 68c and and I will begin to use Studio one, I’m a Cakewalk user! There Is a fast way to change the keyboard shortcut to Cakewalk layout?
Thanks Joe - secondary/third tool options are great, such a timesaver. Any chance you could address the same for MIDI note editing? One of the most awkward features is the cursor changing from Velocity to Arrow to Split tool when you slowly move cursor from the top of a single midi note to bottom. Maybe I have missed an option where I can disable this, but having cursor change between three tools on the height of a midi note is really confusing. I think it's called Smart Edit or something, but if there's a way to disable it, that'd be great. Thanks!
Thanks Joe...Great video !!!!!!........ especially for a beginner like me. The one thing I'm having trouble with is I can't find the Clip Gain Envelope or Trim tool so I can reduce the volume of the selected area on my event.....How do I get to that ??? THANKS AGAIN !!
I use the selection tool with range as the Alt. I would just use the combined selection/range but it just doesnt work well compared to cubase. the range tool it way to fiddly unless the track is considerably zoomed in which is strange since the range tool works fine when selected by itself. having it as the alt also fixes the issue but I feel its wasting another opetion i could use.
07:10 The problem I see (starting with "I don't want this area") is that when you delete out that area and make a cut (07:16), then use your arrow tool move the newly defined event to the left (earlier), is that when you drag it to the left, Studio One "remembers" what comes next (after the initial cut) and pulls it to the left as well. That gives us "duplicate notes" where initially there was only one right after where you made the cut. You can clearly see this at 07:19. So how do we get around this when we simply want to move a "chunk" of audio either left or right (earlier or later)? That is, when we use the slice tool and define a small event, then move it, how do we tell Studio One, "I only want to move what is in the event BEFORE I move it... I don't want to drag along whatever follows the cut? I can understand your reluctance to use the "Blend Tool" for this purpose because (as I am sure you already know) we end up not just "moving" events but rather we are stretching/shrinking them (which by definition) creates distortion. 😵😵💫🥴
Thanks for the video! On another note I need some screen record software that records both sound from S1 and a mic from Audiobox i2 along with the screen running S1. Can you tell me what you're using for these videos? I'm on a PC. Thanks!
Great advice here, helps a lot to combine Arrow and Rangetool. But on some of my projects it does not work properly. When I click to combine the Arrow and Rangetool still only the Arrow is working, even though both symbols are lit. What could be the reason for this? Something wrong with my overall settings?
Hey Joe. I don't know what settings my brother changed in my studio one 5, and now when I'm recording an audio, either vocal or midi, I'm getting a lot of chits chats and pops. Can you please help me out!! 🥹
Hi guys, how do I select an audio section cut it and the two ends either side join together in the middle after I delete the audio section. Hope my explanation makes sense
Novice here 👋 I have just purchased and installed. I don't see this toolbar. I also don't see the box with the "arm" record button that is supposed to be in the left corner. Any help or suggestions would be great!
Thanks Joe! I have used StudioOne for years. Yet, I don't think I have ever understood how these edit tools were supposed to work. (Until now.) Some observations: I think the 1+1+1+1+1+1 thing is incredibly hidden because the teeny little blue indicator under the alternate tool is so microscopic and unnoticeable. (The entire icon should change color, not a little underline.) This is great but is only a partial answer. The thing that is still confusing to me is when you open the "Edit Window" this behavior all changes. I do most of my editing in the editing window...(call me crazy.) And I do mostly MIDI, so using the Arrange view to edit audio, and Edit Window to do Midi seems weird and counterintuitive.
Besides, the "1" thing works when key 1 is related to the arrow. If you change the hot key ("F" in my case), then this new key should be repeatedly pressed.
I went to the view tab and clicked on the full screen command and it zoomed in studio one on my screen to where I don't have the File, Edit, Song, Track, Event, Audio, Transport, View, StudioOne and Help commands anymore. How do I get my screen back to normal?
Hey people I've a severe problem/bug . When I record something, the track captures the muted tracks in background, and stay in what I've recorded, very low volume but stay there. That is just problematic.
The cursor auto changing depending on where the cursor is on the clip ... IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING, you guys have ever done. Give the users the ability to turn off that auto switching crap.. If I want a certain tool I hit the hot key myself@!!
Studio One 5 has great quality of sound but very disgusting workflow... If the interface would be so simple an intutitve as in FL Studio 20 .... Studio One would be the killer... Right now the drag and drops, sellections are awful... you want to move someting and you sellect it or you increase volume of this piece of wav file!!!!! you make a loop and then it suddenly desapeares. yYou can not define play and stop by the same key Space as in FL20. everything is not intuitive and few moves and you make a mess in your project... If you want to move a piece with audio file accidently you increase volume gain... total shit idea!

This is awesome. You can also splice by just double clicking with the crosshair.
Joe, you are a great teacher, a pleasure to watch.
Thanks, Joe - you're great at highlighting the small things that add up to big timesavers!
So very good, Joe. Some of this I'd been doing intuitively or naturally, but it helped to slow down a minute and soak this in. Thanks!
Total FAN !
You can also split a track by putting the cursor where you want it, when it turns to a plus sign, just double click, it will split at that point
Exactly, then it gives me space to keep another useful tool under command+click (I personally like listen tool as my alternative) I don’t see the point in having split tool there. Maybe I’m missing something.
Ditto - rarely use the split tool. Note; track height needs to be sufficient to differentiate between the tool positions.
lots of ways to skin a cat in this kind of software. thats a good tip as well. i think combining your tip and this video would be a great idea
@@rewmeister definitely, that’s one of the great things about Studio One, options

Thank you brother
Great info
Been awhile since Presonus had an update since Fender got a hold of them.
There's also the drop down box under the arrow to select that second function, if you don't wanna keep pushing the 1 key - either way!

You can just double click on the audio clip with the range tool to split it ;)
No need of Ctrl to split, i usually use it to erase
Me too.
to erase I just do Range backspace and its erased. No need to cut

tool shortcuts should be the same in midi editor and playlist editor. 5 should be paint in both.

Interesting that at least on a PC the split tool ctrl trick does NOT work in F2 edit mode,, which is how I prefer to work these days.

If you double click over a region with the "+" sign/tool it splits without needing the split tool.
You don't even need to select the split tool as a third tool.
What is going on with Studio One? Been over 4 months since a minor update, been over 7 months since 5.5.....
Hey people I've a severe problem/bug . When I record something, the track captures the muted tracks in background, and stay in what I've recorded, very low volume but stay there. That is just problematic.
Presonus please add a bypass on the Splitter.
It's complete nonsense. Double-clicking on the upper part of the event in the Link tool does the same as a Split tool. And without any modification.
Yeah.
Don't you think it's time to stop talking about the same things and put the audio pitch automation?
