For incremental approach during Mixing, I believe the 'Mixer Snapshots' is one of the greatest things, Studio One has to offer. Also, Studio One's silent autosave is really a life saver. It has saved a lot of people (including myself) from huge issues.

Final Final Final version 🤣 that's me!

For a self taught man, this chap deserves his own professorship in a good university somewhere. He is an exponential credit to Presonus and is responsible for a lot of music around the world sounding a lot better. I spent all my life in classical music and so that's a lot coming from me.

These small focused tutorials are superb with keeping up with all the latest in S1, great stuff Gregor !

Thank you, Gregor! This is brilliant! I often have situations just like you describe, where I want to try some significant experiment in the song, so first I want to save another version so I can always go back. I've always just used the "save as" feature in order to create other versions. And then I would create a separate note file in order to write down notes about each version. Now I can do it much quicker and easier without having to add an extra file for notes! I think the tips in this video can also be useful for learning the best way to back up songs to other drives, which I like to do periodically while I work. I always like to save the song to the cloud, to another hard drive on my system and to a removable drive just in case! I used to go out of Studio One and copy and paste all the files, but now I can do it much quicker and easier!

What a gem! I haven't explored the "Save As Version" yet, but now it will be part of my daily workflow. Thank you once again Gregor, pure gold!

Wow in 3 mins you answered all my questions! The rest was dessert 👍 Thank you 🙏🕊️

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! ALMOST WANTED TO THROW MY MAC outta the window! you gave such a great and straight to the point tut!! subbed! thank you again!!!

ALL your tutorials are excellent and invaluable! Thanks

You deserve a substantial raise! Thank you!

Save to new folder is the huge catch from this vdo 😉 Thanks Gregor 🥳

Man, this video came in so clutch. That save to new folder feature is absolute gold. Have had so many problems sharing projects with friends and having files missing when they open them. Thank you so much for this video!!

one of the most needed videos for studio one. thanks

The biggest thing that I got from this was using the tape timestretch setting. I am always changing tempo and live with the degraded audio or in some instances redo the tracks. Thanks Gregor double bonus. Great video

Thank You Gregor. Yes, The saving options in Studio One Pro 5 can be quite confusing. This video helped clear things a lot.

Thank you PreSonus, I love the fact that every time I face an issue I know that Gregor knows how to fix it with 10 different solutions :)

Finally I understand all the Save options, Thank you !!!

Wow I had no idea! Thanks so much! Opens up lots of options for song crafting!

Thank You!!! This video answers so many questions.

With me, Gregor.... Love that dramatic pause LOL!!!

You're a gem Gregor, thank you.

Great video, I used to do something similar in Logic. Thanks for the quick explanation.

Studio One is really a powerhouse. Thanks for the tricks.

Thanks Gregor. You are more than a teacher. When will you make a video on how to use Presonus Atom SQ?

Very useful information, thank you!

Thanks Gregor - very clear as usual!

Just set down last week figuring out everything you just explained. Great video 📸! Just a week late😃

I lost several hours from the beginning of a project because I didn't have auto save enabled... Thank you!

Niiiice tip on save to new folder. I'm just about to collaborate and I have some stock sound samples I use in a couple of songs. That tip alone was invaluable for me. Thanks!!

Very helpful, thanks! 👍👍

Awesome tips man keep it up

Great. Really helpful. Thanks for that.

THESE TUTORIALS ARE THE REASON I CHOSE STUDIO ONE OVER LOGIC OR PROTOOLS... ONCE AGAIN EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED... !

nice work!! 😎

extremely helpful, thank you

🏆Gregor gets love in Brooklyn NY

GBY, you have solved one of the great mysteries of life. thank you!!!

Superb! Although still for me a little bit complicated, I'm afraid messing around with it and loose some work.

Thank You! You answer my question in 2 min ......

You're amazing man

Wow there's more than one way to save files,and thank goodness for autosave,I will get it right!!🤖🔌📼⚡

Sometimes I think menu item names can be clearer. For instance, instead of save to new folder, perhaps "save to complete package". Just a thought. Thanks again for the video.

This is awesome! But I still can't seem to be able to make it save samples/loops from Studio One soundpacks. How do I do that? Do I really have to bounce them 1st, so that they become "internal" that way?

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Thank you for the content Gregor. Your videos have helped me a lot. I have a question about the saving: if you complete a "save to new folder," do all subsequent saves update that folder or should you still occasionally save to new folder as you make progress with the song?

I wish I had seen this 3 years ago...would have saved me a lot of pain..I know it now btw..learned the hard way...the very hard way! The version thing is damn useful I will be using that

One thing that is important and has been overlooked is what happens to your files if your computer crashes or your files become lost - The easy way around this conundrum is to save files to new folder on the desktop and right click on saved file and save to compressed folder.. Once done save compressed folder to an external drive.. The whole file will be saved forever ... From external drive folder you can open file and send to Studio One.. Footnote: I found out the hard way how to save song files after losing tons of work.. Hope this helps and happy song creation

Hey Gregor, thanks for all the updates you give. I have the new studio one 5.0, and just updated to the new version. I'm running mac OS high sierra. Just started having a little problem with my 3rd party VST, all other VST are working fine, but the waves vocal bender and studio rack is giving me a black screen. I just purchased this new waves product and been having an issue since. Like I said all the other VST's works fine, but for some strange reason this is showing a black screen, and the other funny thing is I hear it working, but can't see what I'm doing because of the black screen. I also went into the preference mode to make sure the VST3 is assigned to the location area....and still the black screen....what to do???????

The title should be renamed to How to save studio one files & songs! Great breakdown video GBY!

The only reason (for me) to still use "Save As" instead of versions is to have multiple project files on hard drive, in case u have only one project file and it goes currupt, all of your versions info inside is gone 👍, thank you for the explanation.

Great video. What is the right to open the file again? The new folder file.

Please can we have an export and an import feature which exports the whole song and creates one large file. Import does the reverse. The whole file can then be shared. Saves having to save to new folder and zipping it up.

How does saving a mix scene fit into all of these save scenarios?

7:30 The problem is, I cannot restore a previous version without closing the current version. At least for incremental saves. That makes my life complicated in case I just want to check something in a previous version and come back to current one.

can you do a tutorial on the rotator speaker off/ on

I really like the idea of song versions. However, let's say I forked my project along the way into two versions A and B. A is where I started, I created B and kept working there. Added some FX, a couple instruments, maybe messed with the arrangement. Then I decide I liked A better, but I want to take a few FX-Chains and Instruments from my current version B with me to version A. How would I go about this? If I have multiple song files, at least I'll be able to "Import Session Data" and "Append Tracks", right?

Hey Greg ! is there a way to automaticaly link new song versions to project pages? right now when i save new version it wont add to the project and i need to "add to project" again thanks !

So if I'm understanding correctly, if you want to use Save Alt version or Save Incremental, you make the changes first THEN do the save.

How do i retrieve all the song that i created from recent file, because im installing an upgraded version of studio one, where to find the song directory? thanks

one question about the version storing: where do these version files physically go to on my harddrive? i would like to be able to access these from the explorer/finder, but i don't find these files anywhere - not in the song folder nor somewhere else when using a search function in the explorer/finder.

If you are working on a version that you intend to save under a new name (like your half tempo example) but want to retain your original what happens in the autosave time period because now you should have Auto saved something that is incremental to the version that you want to save, meaning it has changes in it for your new version that you don't want in your old version.

Hey Gregor, is it possible to overwrite a exported Audio file? When you export a Mix as Wave?

I run into issue where I loose some magic along the way and I struggle to properly organize version so I can easily get back to it

So once I have "finished" can I reclaim space by deleting every .song version and every other "save to new folder" version?

Save to new folder does not include SOUND folder. When I did "Save to New Folder" and then open this version. I get message file missing "Rock Grand.sound"? I run version Studio one 6.6.2

How to get that modified custom mac finder that Gregor uses? @3:09

For some reason the top left menu bar is missing: File, Edit, Song, Track, etc. Do you know how to make it reappear?

It would be so nice, if you can also do it with VSTs. There are many plugins all the producers have like from Native Instruments. So the VST directionary is also inside the song folder. So that everybody can work on your project with every VST.

I have version 5 on a MacBook and version 2 on a p.c. but when I use 'save to new folder', instead of seeing a folder (which opens to show other files) as in Gregor's video, I only see a .song file as with normal 'Save' - no folder. What am I doing wrong please ?

I need help ASAP! I can't save my latest pojects, it's some issue coming out whenever i try to save it. It says "The system cannot find the file specified" but when i check the folder, everything is there. What to do?? This never happened to me when i used Studio One 4, now i'm on Studio One 5.

what a serious PITA. Hopefully there are other DAWs say Garage Band that allow you to just save as a Wav or Mp3 file.

como exporta midi no formato 0 para toca nos teclado yamaha no studio one

Thanks! I didn't know about song versions. But I'm wondering what external media is. Am I not using it, or not realizing it because I'm not collaborating that way?

So when I do save new folder I only see the final wave files. But in my pool I have 50 different wave files 50 different drum midi files why don't I see them as assets if I really want to archive everything?

I re-open my recording today and i found that all my recordging goes one note further. I mean I recorded in 'f' it turns to 'g' I first though its metronome mistake but it wasnt. Can you help me with that?

If accidentally I saved song which I want to delete from my versions list, how do I do it?

Aparte de estas opciones de guardado, creo que un buen upgrade seria que Studio One guarde la sesion en el historial, cuando se realiza una exportacion. Ya que cada vez que se exporta una cancion, es generalmente para escucharla en varios medios diferentes para comparar y tomar deciciones. Esta opcion podria estar en el mismo cuadro de dialogo en el momento de exportar. Podria ser por fecha, que creo seria la manera mas util, o bien con un nombre a eleccion y fecha de exportacion. Saludos.

This Mean that you have to work on the Program and add the option to always save external files with the song just like in Cubase or live. instead of the ask option.

Is there any way to save more than 10 autosaves?

awesome

The biggest issue I have with saving is when you have 100 projects in your start page and there is no option to sort them by date.... they are all mixed up

Ok, big question.... If I'd edit a song, let's say I'm happy with a certain version and then I'd like a 2nd version which is shorter, and has some other edits and changes. Before I make this 2nd version, do I have to turn off autosave? Because otherwise it would corrupt my initial version, right? And then after making that 2nd version I "save to new version" and then I have the initial one intact and this 2nd one. Right?

When I do "save to new folder" all I get is the .song file with no folders. I want to be able to use my session on another computer with Studio One 5.

Hi, how can I do to record or save the mixer choose in my mix, because I want to change any item like volume or its, but I want to conserve the original or preview mix work. The only way is restore the last session?

Much prefer that half tempo style!!

So if you click Save to New Folder and save it to another location, now you can send this song to your collaborator. So after your collaborator adds their changes and sends it back to you, then what? You overwrite the song in the original location and delete the version you sent to your collaborator?

One thing I've not figured out is how to open a new song in the same folder. Use case: a sound design sessions for the current song you're working on, or AB/B ing different mixed down versions. What I do now is copy a song file that already exists in the current folder and delete everything from it. But this feels incredibly inefficient.

I have a song that takes like 5 minutes every save. Any idea if there is some save setting that might be making this take so long?Could it simply be too large? I don't have trouble with other songs.

Bro please do a video on live looping pleaseeeee

All i want is whatever i do in impactxt in song or project. Files/samples should stay there It should not show as missing samples it doesn’t matter if i move my library or change or update.. pls let me know

Would this apply to making a drum cover? I'm still trying to figure out how to record over a drumless track. Little help?

can we saved on one prime?~?

I would love to use feature but... I’m gonna use it.

Hey, if you have 4 or more songs - recorded in the same session, how would you split up and save each song to its own? is it possible? in a smart way. :) Love your videos - spare me a lot of time

☝🏻 gregor.. for reference- i made a pattern or a song with custom dragged samples from browser in impact xt. Saved it as my preset aswell, Explode them to pitches for arrangement purpose,but did not bounce them to audio files incase i want to come back to song later on and maybe replace sample or any sont of change ( multiple midi files by explode to pitches but still one instance of impactXT in arrangement window) When i save the song it asks for ( want to save external files to song - i press YES ) And now if i move/sort/change/update my library in computer and then open my saved song and open impactXT it says SAMPLE MISSING and ask for locate the file or delete. Now thats a pain because in thousands of samples its impossible to find thE same sample just because library has been modified. Just because of missing samples it won’t play the missing sample in impact. Hopefully you understand the situation Now my question is -- Is there a way that if we can save custom sample pack that we have made out of our own library in that song so doesn’t matter if samples are sitting in the back end or not they should be in song or project all the time... When ever we open the song impactxt shoud behave the same way it did while making the beat. Missing samples are the most annoying issue i have come across... help gregor please

Hello, is it possible to export a recording in mp3 format with the free version of the software?

This video would benefit from a TOC.

WOW...This Dude IS a Computer Program...DAW

if I ever get to a proper career level I will pay a million $ to Presonus to make a custom version of whatever the number of Studio One might be to look exactly like 2.65. I know I commented about it a few times already but can't help it. I am disoriented in this new graphics as of version 3 upwards. so I'll keep on honing my music skills just to make that dream come true - a solid grey thick interface of 2.65

Ok using Alternative versions, you are making your changes BEFORE you save as alternative version. Should you have autosave turned off when doing this? It seems that if you make your changes before you save the alternative version, autosave will save the alt version and the original will be gone forever!
