i am curious to hear more about how you have your interfaces connected. I have the Presonus 26c and a M-Audio that I got from Walmart. I have a drumset that is fully mic'd with 10 mics running into a 12-channel mixer. I need as many inputs into the computer as I can..

@@VicissitudeStudios-pp5cm The Saffire Pro 40 is a FireWire audio interface. I have it in standalone mode so it is only being used for 8 preamps. It has Adat In & Out so I’m using an optical cable from my Saffire Pro 40 to my RME interface. You need to have a device that supports Adat or Optical in & out to link multiple interfaces together. Best bet is to look for any used focusrite or Presonus interface with 8 preamps and Adat support.. Hope that helps!

Great video Chris!!! This coming from an old fella who has been into Studio One for just over a month and will never go back to what I had been using for years.. For the most part I have been able to get along very well on my own. I find SO so intuitive and very logical with drag and drop, right click, left click and keyboard shortcuts. That being said, this video has taught me a few of the smaller things and how to use them. Things that I would probably not find on my own. I especially love the punch in method that you showed. However, there's too much for this old brain to process all at once so I'll be coming back often. Thanks so much for this.

Thank you, this was excellent w they speak of mastering, what, is that?

@heychrisgreen 29 күн бұрын

Great question! There's not as much about Mastering out there as in the past, but essentially the Mastering process is where you try to "Mix your Mix" so that it sounds comparable in both volume and mix to professional tracks out there. So If I'm working on a rock song at home, I would want to mix that rock song so it sounds amazing! Then I would compare that rock song to something done by a pro (like a Foo Fighters / Nirvana / Green Day track).. In Mastering you're trying to compensate for different listening environments so that your awesome mix sounds great on airpods, bluetooth speakers, etc.. Back in the day, the majority of Mastering was trying to make things sound as loud as possible.. basically, if your song sounds louder than the other guy's song there was a perception that your song was better. Nowadays, digital platforms do their own volume switching. Mastering is still important, and you can even hire people to Master your song just like you would for someone to Mix your song.

How do you reduce a measure at the end of a verse, to 2 beats? My recording, from that point on, shows measures that are 2 beats off from where I want them to be.

Hi Cris, what the Presonus version you using. Is StudioOne 6 / 6.5? And i have a question about it, is that version basically same or have any improvement? Thanks before

@heychrisgreen 3 ай бұрын

I’m currently on the most recent version, I believe when I recorded this video I was just in version 6. Honestly I have not noticed any major changes for what I do since version 4 😅 they added some options for surround sound and atmos mixing but I usually use Studio One like a tape machine.

@mastersystem80 4 ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for the video, very useful!!!!, but, maybe you can solve my question (can´t find anything anywhere about it...) Why with precount active Cursor moves at beggining of bar? If i need to record in a middle of a bar I can´t!

@heychrisgreen 4 ай бұрын

Hi! For your specific needs I would make use of Auto-Punch. I hope I’m reading you correctly but if you need to record within any specific bar or area, the Punch In function is much more precise.. in fact I hardly ever use pre-count and have just gotten used to punching in almost exclusively, even with new tracks. There’s a lot of videos on the punch in feature, here’s one where I explain it. Hope it helps!

Why is it that my focusrite records my mix from input 1 in stereo Yet in studio one it has no configuration options to have input 1 be stereo other than taking in L mono. I have tried everything from options menu and recording interface set up on studio ones router assaigner.

@heychrisgreen 4 ай бұрын

🤔 You’ll always need 2 inputs when recording in stereo. Most Focusrite interfaces have Input L + R as an option for stereo. In your Audio I/O settings page in Studio One, click “Add Stereo” near the bottom of the window.. the stereo track should be assigned to Input L + Input R near the top. It is possible to record two mono tracks separately but you’ll need to pan them out (Input 1/L to the far left, and Input 2/R to the right)

@ClubSodaSkids 4 ай бұрын

@heychrisgreen weird cause in ableton it has always been able to record stereo of my input 1 mix sent from TRS cable via direct from Headphone out from mixer. I'm just trying to find smoothest work around without having to have big compromises between both softwares of hardware routings. And like to believe that such a great software would have similar compatibility with what I already have been running cause my ableton recordings come out stereo from my single input routings.

@ClubSodaSkids 4 ай бұрын

@heychrisgreen maybe I just might have to set up my routings direct from mixer out instead of using headphone out like I have been): lol

@vincentvonshark6054 4 ай бұрын

how are you getting 78 timing? You are not mentioning that you have changed the structure of your metronome to a 2/2 timing by turning off the accent and turning up the beat and offbeat only. You do not have 4/4 timing otherwise you would b e somewhere around 130 to 140 at a 4/4 rate. What confuses me is howe you got it to register 76bpm by clicking.

@vincentvonshark6054 4 ай бұрын

How are you hearing yourself without having the monitor or blue speaker button on while you are recording? Is your interface used for recording only and you output to your earbuds through your computer? I am using a MacBook Pro and I have to have the monitor button on to hear what I am recording through headphones that are plugged into my interface. There is no doubling when I have the blue monitor button on while I record the track. I also have to have my external speakers turned off or I get feedback into the mic. You don't seem to be explaining exactly what you are doing and are apparently not familiar with other ways of recording tracks. Your way might be best for all I know, but I could try to duplicate it on my own but if you were to explain it in some detail it might be easier. Same thing with the click track because you have turned your 4/4 time into 2/2 time and never mention it.
