"Why do I see/hear the word 'Lydian' in these videos?"
This Studio One course was originally created to be a standalone course outside of TH-cam, and the name of that course/project was Lydian Learning. The name has now changed but everything else is the same.

Thanks for getting right to creating a drum pattern. Too many "intro" videos spend half or more of the time exploring all kinds of extraneous options and features. Most new users just want to lay down a track in the simplist way. Plenty of time to get into more advanced features later.
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed it 👌🏼
oh man my brain just woke up ! I have watched what feels like thousands of videos about drums and mearly always had a brain fart ! This video is soooooo good ,thank you for this, stay safe and take care now
Great! Happy to hear it 🙌
Thank you my man, I was getting frustrated and finding this video made everything better!
Nice!
Thank you sooo much now I can really start to create some interesting backing tracks for my guitar and start making songs 👍🏻
Thank you!
Nice one,ta fella.
From an old man who found Audacity difficult!
🙌🙌🙌
Many thanks. I was using a micro br off and on since around 09 or something, and I just got a major upgrade when was looking for a mic to record with. Got the mic and studio one for two bills, the same as i paid for my first micro br. Anyway, long story short I needed the drum works demystified and this video absolutely did that for me.
Nice! Happy to hear it. What genre are you working in?
@@maxkonyi Well, I used to be a rocker through and through, but I feel like this is a new era for music, so Idk what my sound would be called. I love doing instrumentals with guitar, strings and piano, as well as spiritual songs. Thanks for asking.
@@johnmalone3256 Great to hear! Wishing you great joy with the new gear and new music 🌞
Very helpful. Thanks!
👌👌👌
Good information... thank you
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Nice one.I learned a lot.Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
✨🙌✨
I have struggled for ever trying to work out Impact. Thanks for the great description. I have always thought you could actually use the drum pad to create the midi. Obviously not! The input must come from a keyboard. Finally I get it. One thing about this video which I've missed is the range you set for the event. I need to work out how thats done. Thanks for your skills.
Happy to hear this mumbo! What do you mean by "the range you set"?
@@maxkonyi The 'blue line'!! found it on another of your vids. Looping. Which also describes my progress with DAWS until now.......Thanks for your time
On second thoughts...can I not use the pads to record? It doesn't work on mine but should it be that way?
@@mumbo1107 Do you mean the actual pads on Impact or your physical pads on a MIDI controller?
@@maxkonyi I''m meaning the pads on impact.
great video, im a singer i can do most instruments but find a hard time creating drum beats because i have no knowlegde about it, will try doing it the way you showed here! :)
Great! You'll get it with some practice. It can be helpful to watch a couple of beginner drumming videos as well, just to see what a real drummer learns first. ✨
Learn how to finger drum on your keyboard, it will be the best thing you ever do!
Excellent tutorial!
🥳🥳🥳
Thank u.....same like for guitar programing.
Thank you. Hopefully, I can get around to making that soon...
Standard Drum Pattern 12:35
Excellent video, thanks ..I learned a lot..
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Question: How to set different rhythms such as Shaffle, or Swing?
There is a swing percentage slider in the quantize menu. Click the big "Q" at the top of the main window OR in the MIDI editor window. Then, change the swing slider.
Great Video!
Thanks Dean!
thanks for the video ....i couldnt figure out howe to arm the track to get it to record anything ....i also couldnt figure out how to map it to my keyboard ,,,
Hi Mike, sorry to hear you're having issues. Have you figured this stuff out yet? If not, I can give you some suggestions.
thank you for your tutorial!, one question, I have triangles instead of rectangles on the drum section on the edit, why?
That's because you're in the drum view and I'm in the piano roll view. At the top-left of the MIDI editor window, you'll see three icons. Click the piano and you'll get my view 🌞
@@maxkonyi hey, follow up question to the previous one. I’m on piano view, but don’t see the names to the drums, I just see a piano. How do I correct that? Thank you!
@@EstebanOnGuitar Sorry for the slow response here. At the top-left of the midi editor, there are three symbols - piano, drum, and treble celf. If you click the drum, you can input names for the drums.
I'm so confused... I don't have the TM pop rock kit or even half of the ones you have listed. I tried to just do it with a preset available but how do I get the notes to appear on the track? I really am starting from ground zero here, I already know about a drum kit and how to keep time, I'm just trying to figure out how to operate the DAW so I can put notes in. Any other videos you have have or that you know of?
Which version of S1 do you have? I'm using professional which is why I have all the kits. Have you seen any of the previous videos in this course?
Do you have to have a midi keyboard to get it to record? Mine isn't showing up when I try to record it. It will record then delete it when I'm done recording
Do you mean you're clicking the pads while its recording?
Cool video, man. I´m trying to learn how (if posible) to route the kick notes to one channel and hihats to a different one. You know....for mixing it would be so handy. Do you haveany video about this topic? Thanks
Definitely possible and very common. I don't have a video on it, however. You could search "Impact multiple output" or something similar and you'll find what you need.
There is an arrow at the top of the plugin window where you can turn on extra outputs. Then you can assign each pad to a specific output.
i can't find the TM Pop Rock type of sound in Impact and it's exactly what i need :(
Is there like a tracker for the drum? So that I can place the elements and not first play it on the keyboard? Like how do you get to this view at 6:50?
Yes for sure. That exact view is not available anymore in Studio One V5 but they have a dedicated pattern editor which has a drum mode and a melodic mode. You can search that up and find what you need. I don't have any videos going over it personally.
Great video and great course. Nice work! How do I set it up so my playing drums on keyboard (I prefer to play by feel rather than mouse clicks) starts at the start of the bar so I can make a loop out of it?
Also, I am assuming that when I record the drum notes I then quantize by highlighting and pressing control and Q?
3:40 and 10:44 Recording drum loops on keyboard by feel
7:02 extending your loop
You need to set your playhead at the start of the bar you want to record on, make sure recording count-in is enabled, and that your metronome is enabled. Then, hit record, wait for the 4-beat count-in and start playing along to the click.
To quantize afterwards, slsect the notes and press Q!
Hi. I'm really struggling to create a loop by playing keys by feel to a mentronome.. When I duplicate it, I'm struggling to get it to continue in exactly the same speed, and pattern as the part I duplicated. You did it so easily. How do I get it to continue in the same pattern without the drum 'stutter' of one bar going into the next
Main things to check:
- Does your loop fit nicely within 1, 2 or 4 bars?
- Do you have snapping turned on? "N" key.
- Is your recording on time? Either quantized or just played well?
@@maxkonyi I will have to check with snapping tool. Thanks for reply
Very good. I’m a guitarist and this is helpful. Plus I don’t want to shell out 170 bucks for the Easy Drummer VST.
Glad it was helpful 👌 Have you seen my videos on Realistic Drum Programming?
@@maxkonyi I will look and see.
Very nice video, helps a lot!
But I have a question: I have StudioOne 5 and wanted to recreate your sound but I don´t have the Pop Rock Drum Kits etc. . I only have like techno and chill/hip-hop stuff.. where do I find the rock/pop drum kits?
Can I also download those missing things (where?) or how do I get them?
Hey, have you downloaded all additional content for S1? Should be about 32gb. You can look in the "Studio One Installation" window, which you can find in the "Studio One" drop-down menu in the top menu bar. Have a look there and select "full installation". See what it shows you're missing
@@maxkonyi same problem, and it shows there that i've installed everything.
@@SophiaLuna Which version of Studio One are you using?
Awesome tutorials Max. I have programmed my kit in Impact and opened the editor screen but when I click on the snare for exampie, it wont stay highlighted so I guess you could say the midi isnt recording. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Hmm, not sure I understand exactly. You need to make sure that the Impact track is selected, then you need push record in Studio One, then you can trigger the pads and they should be recorded. Let me know
Great video, thank you Max, do you have any tutorial for black metal style?
Nothing like that yet...but I am planning to do some metal-based streams soon! Metal has been a big part of my life...
@@maxkonyi Awesome, your videos are very helpful, by the way, why I don't see Impact in my Studio one?
Question: if you create your drumtrack like this, and when you have eventually the whole song done and mixed, would the drums not really miss "life" and sound rather static? Or is there a way to get that fixed?
There are many ways to get around this. However, it's best to use your own ear and judgement about what sounds appropriate or not. Have you seen my other videos on drum programming? They go into depth about how to acheive a realistic sound.
How did you open up what you played where you could see it in little bars....im like a nubie nubie and I don't even understand the basics 🙃🥲
That's the MIDI editor, also known as a piano-roll. When you record some MIDI, you can double click on the event/clip and it will open the editor 🌞
Thank you!
How do I keep the note lengths in S1 5? The Drum View now forces the Trigger note view, which is not good for all situations where not naming is desireed.
Just when I was almost sold on leaving Reaper.
Good question. In the top-left corner of the MIDI edit window, you can click the keyboard icon 👌
My favourite way to work
You mentioned early in your video mapping your computer keyboard to the Impact touch pad. how do I do that? thanks.
Press "caps lock" and then shift the octave down by using the left arrow key until you see the pads being triggered by the QWERTY keys. You also may need to check if the particular MIDI track is set to receive input from all devices.
You can do this by selecting the track, open the "i" panel above the tracks list, and then make sure the "in" parameter is set to "all inputs".
Let me know!
Hello, got a question. just connected my Alesis Nitro through midi/printer cable to Studio One 4 , and i'm using impact Xt/preset - Tom Brechtlein Drums which sounds abit better than the built in Alesis sounds, the mapping is precise. but the problem is the hi hat sounds doesent sound right, do u know any adjustments that can fix it? :)
What is the issue with the hi hat? Sounds pretty good to me
How to use Lydian Loop (your presest) in studio one...

What do you think about studio one vs FL? I always used studio one for live recordings. Is it as good as FL, in creating beats?
Great tutorial, btw :)
I love it. I've only used FL a little bit here and there but it is difficult for me to understand based on my previous DAW experience. I also feel it has many features that have been cobbled together over the years and my feeling with it isn't very cohesive.
I make beats in S1 everyday and really enjoy it. That doesn't mean it should be your first choice, but that's my experience!
@@maxkonyiWow. That's super helpful. Thank you very much, kind sir :))))
@@Hastur.in.yellow No worries 🌞
Also: is it me or does the bass kick sound really thin and light?
Perhaps! It's just a stock S1 sound.
Hey! How do i get all these presets for impact? I have the studio one 5 artist version - do I have to download anything else? Thanks in advance :)
Hi Martin
The artist version only comes with a limited set of presets. If you have chosen "Full Installation" in the "Studio One Installation" menu (found in the top menu bar), you will have all the content possible for your version of S1.
I highly recommend the Pro version when you get a chance :)
Thanks alot, I was looking for a simple explanation to creat drum beats. Thanks alot. Do u have a video on programming keyboard or other instruments? I have an acoustic guitar but I wanna add other elements to my music.
Also how do u map your keyboard with the midi map?
Hi Andre,
Thanks for the comment. There are videos in this Studio One series that deal with writing chords and melodies but not many that deal with specific instruments. This is something I will consider for future videos...
I'm not sure what you mean by your question about the midi mapping. Can you give more detail?
@@maxkonyi Thanks for the reply. By midi mapping I was referring to how you were able to press buttons on your keyboard to play the beats rather than clickin on the beat buttons on the screen.
Andre Music you need a midi keyboard. Plug it in then go to the add hardware section in S1 and add it as your primary midi controller. Then when you open up the instrument you want to use, click on the gear in the top right corner and select your keyboard as the controller.
@@officialWWM Thanks for tip dude
Andre Music no problem :)
How are you able to program beats to your keyboard? I've gotten as far as getting the keyboard as an "extension" or input of the track but can't figure out how to pair them to keys on the keyboard.
When you say keyboard, do you mean a MIDI controller or your computer keyboard?
@@maxkonyi laptop keyboard! I would also like to preface this by saying that I am both new to Studio One and music production in general so there may be a glaring solution I have missed. I would just simply like to program a specific beat i.e. "PopRock Kick" to a key "Q" and be able to hear it being played, along with other beats, while recording.
@@AndrewFerguson1 Ok, so you know how to use Caps Lock to bring up the QWERTY keyboard controller? Once that is up, you can use the left and right arrow keys to change octaves. By lowering the octave, the keys should eventually line up with notes present in Impact. Let me know how it goes
Impact isn't showing up for me, I have downloaded the full installation but I'm still not seeing Impact. Please help!!
Hmm. You mean it doesn't appear in your list of instruments in the S1 browser? Which version of S1 do you have?
@@maxkonyi I have version 3 and its not showing up
@@ProdbyVicky0 You have version 3 Pro? Artist? Prime?
Doesn't work in 4.6 pro. How do you get it to go into that window on proffessional mode? im losin my mind trying to figure it out
Hey Jake, you're right, that specific view has been changed in V4. There is something similar, but not quite the same. You access it using the little drum icon at the top-left of the MIDI edit window. Is that what you're looking for?
@@maxkonyi Thanks, yeah i figured it out after watching some more videos and tutorials and stuff. This is my first time working with a DAW so I've still barely scratched the surface. Really incredible what this software is capable of. Also incredible the amount of information you gotta go through to learn everything. lol Someday, hopefully i'll get a full comprehension of it. I appreciate the helpful reply, Max!
@@maxkonyi You wouldn't happen to know why when i go into the studio one tab at the top, go to options where you can scan for 3rd party VST's, I've seen in some peoples DAW they have a tab that says "VST support" or "3rd party VST's" or something like that. But mine doesn't have that and I haven't been able to successfully scan in the DLL files for the VST's I'm trying to add. Man just typing this stuff is so complex. It's like my DAW just doesn't want to find and scan in any DLL files or my DAW didn't fully upgrade to professional or something. I don't get it, another day, a whole lot more learned, still so, so far from understanding. lol Do I need to purchase the 3rd party VST support package in the store separately? I thought that it was supposed to be included in professional? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- Jake
@@tulpasconstructor2711 Great to hear Jake! Yes, the software is truly amazing. You've entered a wonderful world ✨
@@tulpasconstructor2711 If you are using Professional, this functionality is built in. You may need to direct S1 to the folder containing your VSTs if they are somewhere unexpected. You can do this in the main S1 "Options" window. You may have looked into this already, but here is some info: support.presonus.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003455072-How-can-I-get-my-3rd-party-plug-ins-to-show-up-in-Studio-One-
Let me know how it goes.
How do you get the pads mapped to your keyboard? I've been googling and nobody is answering this for me.
You're looking to play the Impact pads with piano keys like I do? If so, and if you're MIDI controller is working properly with S1, all you have to do is make sure your keyboard is in the correct octave. The pads are mapped to a specific set of keys so you can switch octaves up and down until you find the right one.
Let me know how it goes
@@maxkonyi not piano keys but the qwerty keyboard. I dont have a midi controller yet.
@@FringeSpectre Ok, same thing. When the qwerty keyboard is open, use the left and right arrow keys (i think?) to change octaves until the notes match the pads in Impact.
How do you get Impact? It doesnt show up on mine 🤔
Which version of S1 do you have? Prime? Artist? Pro? Version 4 or 5?
@@maxkonyi Prime...does it have to be the full version?
@@maxkonyi And it's Studio One 5
@@GeorgieChard Ah ok, yes, you'll need at least the Artist version to have access to Impact. You can find a full comparison of the versions here: www.presonus.com/products/studio-one/compare-versions
@@maxkonyi ahhh okay, thank you :)
If I'm trying to make metal drums should I stay away from the "Drum Pattern Editor"? I know you can convert the parts to a pattern but I'm not sure if its proper for Metal drums. The repeater almost makes my kicks sound useless. I'm not sure if your supposed to be doing triplets or double bass in pattern for metal? It works great for trap and hip hop and stuff. Just curious if you know anything about that. I havent used the other methods yet other than pattern editor.
Great question! Yes, I know a lot about that 👌
I would stay away from the pattern editor. I program all my metal drums in the piano roll because it has so much more flexibility and nuance. Also, the samples you choose are VERY important. Striving for realism is difficult but fun. "Machine-gunning" is enemy number one (the sound of a single sample being repeated very quickly).
If you end up being serious about this kind of thing, you'll want to look for a dedicated acoustic drum sampler. There are many! Addictive Drums (what I use), BFD, GetGoodDrums, Superior Drummer, etc.
On my Soundcloud, you can hear a couple of short metal tracks I made some years ago. I need to make some more...

@@maxkonyi Sweet man I appreciate the quick reply. I have Riot Drums right now but I'm looking to get Superior drummer 3. With my luck by the time I buy it within one months time number 4 will be out! Let me know if you have heard anything about Riot drums to me it sounds like a realistic 90s kit!
@@HoldMyBeerFam Nice! I've never heard of them before. Super cool that they specifically created the '90s aesthetic. Definitely sounds good enough to use in a serious project 👌
@@maxkonyi Yea it sounds great. Well hey man I really appreciate the quick replies keep up the good work! Thanks again
@@HoldMyBeerFam Thank you my friend. Nice to chat 👌
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
It sounds like you have too much latency not good when recording drums !!
Your microphone picking up the key returns after you strike them is quite distracting. -3 stars.
Oh I know! I wish it wasn't the case but it's the nature of my setup for now. Hopefully a quieter keybed in the future...
obvious you know what you are doing but really sucks when you do a recording and give music lessons instead of showing what you are doing.
