Since I didn't notice anyone mentioning it when I skimmed through the comments, a handy tip I found when doing extensive audio bending in Studio One is to use the shift key. It causes a temporary toggling on (or off) of the snap. So if I have snaps turned off, I can click to add a bend marker, hold it, then press shift to cause it to start snapping so I can drop it in on the beat. Release shift and it stops snapping again, so I can accurately place then next bend marker. This also works in reverse, if you have snaps on, so you can just hold shift to temporarily disable the snaps. It definitely speeds up the workflow for me when aligning notes and consonants with my little virtual choir projects. :)
Mate, as a Studio One user and playing in a band that uses backing tracks with variable tempo's, you my friend are a godsend. I have been struggling for quite a while to find a half decent solution to the problem. You've just provided it. I feel a Patreon membership coming on.
Great video. It really nicely answers Rick Beato’s video about how computers ruined music...this shows how you can keep the human element in your music even with virtual instruments. Can’t wait to try it out!
I didn’t even know that was possible. It would have been so useful to me 25 years ago when the studio engineer told my band and I that a tempo slow down at the end of a song was not feasible due to metronome issues. Great video!
Cheers Mike - another great tutorial - every time I watch one of your videos, the amount of functionality I think I know how to use in S1 drops by another few percentage points, I think I'll soon by in minus figures! Who was it said: 'the more I learn, the less I know'. ;-) Keep up the great work
Thanks for the info. Very clear. Don't forget if you played a funky guitar rhythm with plenty of transients you can simply hit Q (or Alt Q for 50%) and S1 creates the bend markers and quantizes your audio track to the click. Really useful if you're trying to sound like Nile Rodgers.
I'm so glad you do Studio One videos as well, Mike. I love Cakewalk but I'm excited to try Studio One when my new Presonus interface arrives. I was worried I'd have to change TH-cam teacher!! Your channel is brilliant, many thanks
This was an awesome tutorial! I just tried it on some Studio One 5 multitrack recordings and now I can add Midi notes, add loops and more, all in sync! Thank you so much!
Thank you sir! i knew about the Ctrl + Alt and drag method, but the audio bend method you discussed here makes a whole lotta sense and seems like a very very handy tool for an audio manipulator like myself. Gracias 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video you explained this really well and have made life easier when time stretching. My question would be that I assume this works with vocals too? 😅
I think it would, but you might want to reduce the amount of transient markers that Studio One detects (increase the detection threshold) and place more markers manually. I imagine that vocals will typically have more transients that are not on the beat compared to at least some instruments. I'm guessing that you would add transients when certain words are sung/spoken, or beginnings of vocal lines are meant to start on the beat. Does that make sense?
Thanks sir. a very useful feature of studio and very well explained. sir i am not getting audio bend in studio one prime. is this the limitation in free version. ikumar
Crystal clear, Mike. Now I need a video on divining the tempo from an external audio file that doesn't have tempo metadata embedded. Example, a musician sends me a guitar track he recorded at 120bpm, but I don't know that. I import the track and want Studio One to tell me what the tempo is. Is there an Analyzer for this process? Thanks!
Tks for the useful information. Wouldn’t you achieve a similar result using the Quantize function? Appreciate if you can explain the main difference. Tks
Liked and subscribed! I am still on v4 Pro, but I was able to get this going. Now the music can breathe again! I know Melodyne offers tempo mapping but I don't believe the basic version in S1 does?
Awesome Video on Tempo Mapping. Your teaching style is wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time :) P.S. Please keep making the Studio One Videos .. Love it
Hi. In your first example where the guitar speeds up and slows down with the tempo track, what if I want to use this guitar in a track with a fixed tempo? I have a guitar/vocal track that was free flowing (badly) I did the above and this became much better, I want to add some drums where there weren't any. What to do?
This is just what I needed for one song. I had to either quantize the entire choir or match tempo to the choir, and it was painfull so I gave up in the end. But maybe I will have a second look.

Nothing ruined music. Just what you want it ruined. Listen for classical or jazz. peace 🙂

That engineer didn’t know he could just turn off the click at the end of the song.
one of the most ,..if not most important vids you have or ive seen anywhere,...thank you!!!!!
Thank you :)
This is absolutely amazing content and saved me a tonne of frustration with a non-click tracked backing track, thanks so much keep it up!
this video is what i have been looking for just want to me beats over the acapella vocals from online ,thanks for this sir.
Great video. Incredibly informative. You should do a Tempo Mapping video as well as a follow up to this one.
Unreal!! Especially changing the transient percentage! Legend!
Great tutorial. This is exact what we often wants to do, and here it is crystal clear how to do. Thanks for the video!
this is sooooo awesome!!! I wish I've seen that before my last release. thank you so much
My pleasure :)
Absolutely refreshing Mike. I'm touching up a multi-track recording thanks to you.
As Russell said 7 months ago, you are a Godsend. Truly, you’ve got a gift for making things understandable. Outstanding!
Still learning this product and am at the point where I'm importing audio guitar tracks. This is PERFECT timing! Thanks for all your great videos!
Best video tutorial I have seen on this subject. Thanks, Mike. Good show!
Exactly what i was looking for, great video, no beating around the bush and straight to the point. Excellent flow. Thank you.
Thanks for this. It was very timely as I just ran into a situation exactly like this. Much appreciated!
I forgot something and came back here for a refresher! Thanks so much for what you do. So very helpful! And I hope you are well, too!
Very clear and well explained video for me the best to undestand the tempo changes. Thank you very much.
What a powerful DAW , Thank you for this brilliant tutorial mate.Love from Melbourne
Awesome!
Dette var super bra kurs. Jesus velsigne deg!
You are gem and helped me in my orchestral composition. Thanks God and you ❤️
Love your Studio One videos this is my number one channel
Cheers Mike - another great tutorial - every time I watch one of your videos, the amount of functionality I think I know how to use in S1 drops by another few percentage points, I think I'll soon by in minus figures! Who was it said: 'the more I learn, the less I know'. ;-) Keep up the great work
I love your videos, so informative but also really chill and anxiety reducing. Cheers!
It's really pleasant watching your videos i really really like the way you explain things i learn sooo much stuff! Thank you!
Thanks a lot! This is exactly what I needed in my little project. I made a tempo map from a piano track.
aye! you do my heart good. cheers and respect from california.
Absolutely brilliant. I'm a brand new Studio One user, and this was exactly what I needed. Liked and subscribed!
i have been looking for this and your the answer. Thank you
Thank you sir for this wonderful tutorial;now i have you, Joe Gilder & Gregor teaching me how to use my newly purchased S1 5.=)
Just found Mike today. I think he picks up where Joe and Gregor (bless them both) leave off. Mike has joined my expert team.
Brilliant as usual!
Thanks for the info. Very clear. Don't forget if you played a funky guitar rhythm with plenty of transients you can simply hit Q (or Alt Q for 50%) and S1 creates the bend markers and quantizes your audio track to the click. Really useful if you're trying to sound like Nile Rodgers.
Mike, I love you for this Video😀 Helps a lot. Great work

I love you Sir!!!! You just saved me!!!!! Thank you so much for al the super nice info! Kudos from Mexico!
Happy to help!
Very well made tutorial! I have Melodyne Editor - which has a similar function - but I find this method to be much quicker and less fiddly. Thank you!
Thanks. Been looking for a way to match the timeline to a variable recording. Now I know.
NOW I get it . I did horrible with my guitar part, but I understand and will practice. Thanks Mike
Good info.Just what i needed.Thanks a lot .
This was an awesome tutorial! I just tried it on some Studio One 5 multitrack recordings and now I can add Midi notes, add loops and more, all in sync! Thank you so much!
Great video, and the solution to one track I have which has been driving me mad to aligned to the beat. Thank you. Patreon incoming!
Thank you sir!
i knew about the Ctrl + Alt and drag method, but the audio bend method you discussed here makes a whole lotta sense and seems like a very very handy tool for an audio manipulator like myself. Gracias 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This video was most useful. I wrote down the process and will follow it in similar cases.
Great video you explained this really well and have made life easier when time stretching.

very helpful video, Thank you
Bloody genius! Cheers, Mike.
This is awesome!
You rock man! Thank you!!!

Thanks a lot, that`s exactly what I was looking for!
this was really great mabe you could make lesson on drum fills using ezdrummer
Excellent videos, very clear and concise. Great work

Nice video! I learned a lot.
Great tutorial - thanks! Begs the question, though - is there an analogous function to do the same thing with a free-form MIDI track?
The best uncle.
As always a great and informitive video
Excellent vid Mike - thanks.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank's so much. ^^
정말정말정말 감사합니다!
This video was really really helpful. Thanks a lot!
Thank you
I Must Learn! Thanks
I assume you can do this with vocals too right?
