r/StudioOne

I'm quite happy with Studio One 5, it works well for me so there aren't a lot of reasons to upgrade. The only feature from 6, 7, 8 that interests me is the splice integration and the panning upgrade.

However, one thing I'm curious about is performance - S1 5 uses a LOT of my CPU when I have a full project running, I often have blockout protection on maximum, high buffer size etc. to make it all work and playback properly. Perhaps Fender Studio will be more CPU efficient or utilize multiple cores better or something?

The other thing is exporting - I've occasionally had issues with S1 4 and 5 where automation is not being correctly run during exporting. I know this is a common issue and was perhaps fixed in one of the newer versions?

I just want to bounce the area thats actually selected. If I select it like in picture 1 and press Crtl+B to Bounce it, it snaps to the grid like in picture 2. I tried everything up in the Quantize/Timebase/Snap settings but it doesn't seem to work. Any idea of how i can fix it?

Hello

I just got Fender Studio Pro 8 and can not sign in into my Fender account through it. I managed to activate it through the offline activation, so that is settled but can not sign into it through its' starting screen.
I also can not sign into through the Fender Hub.
Every time I get the "There was an error authenticating" message.

Interestingly, when installing both programs, I got a "The installer is unable to configure the firewall because a third party firewall (Kaspersky) is installed on this system"
I initially had Kaspersky installed, now uninstalled and removed every entry of it on my system.
Still getting the same authenticating error.

I also tried the following:
I checked my IP address and it was blacklisted (who knows what my provider is doing) to Spamhaus ZEN. I connected through VPN (connected to my own country) to change my IP and tried to install and connect again, no result
I restarted my router, checked registry for more Kaspersky entries, none were found. I disabled windows defender firewall, still got same messages.

Any help / idea would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi there, I’m fairly new to home recording and mixing etc.

I’ve got the basics of studio one but am looking to clean up a few things:

1. What’s the best technique for file management?

Our band is pretty recreational and the studio is just my shed with sound treatment. Due to all of us having our own lives etc we tend to just do full band takes and currently I just create a new file for each recording session. So I’m ending up with a bunch of .song files for one song resulting in “Song name (4)” etc. Is there a better way to do this? Do you use versions?

2. I’m struggling to find YouTube courses on studio one that cover this kind of music recording. So many of them are midi or beat songs etc. I have about 3 vocal mics and 2 drum mics, then 4 instrument lines. So I’m looking to EQ the room (adjusting the EQ across the different mics in the room) to end up with a nice balanced sound.

3. When I export the mix down to mp3 or wav and listen on another device (phone, car, etc) the volume is significantly lower for the files than it is if I play YouTube or Spotify at the same device volume. I’ve tried using “Streaming” and “YouTube” for the adjust loudness setting and it doesn’t seem to help. Should I manually change the min/max volumes until it’s on par with other apps on export?

Thank you for your patience and kindness! I’m open to learning!

I would upgrade if linux version is supported.
I do understand that supporting another platform involves a serious investment (having knowledgeable people who can debug and implement fixes, training your support people, etc). It's totally ok to decide not to support linux and let those users go to bitwig for example which does support it.

What I don't understand if how Fender can claim it's out of beta and yet offer no support. This is weasel corpo behavior the kind that gets you into trouble with the law.

So is linux officially supported, yes or no?

I feel like I have tried every suggestion and instruction, but to no avail.

So, I have things set up to monitor and record my external synths. No problems there. But I can't hear anything else. I want to record my Bass Station and have an instance of Impact playing a beat in the background that I can jam along to, but I can't hear it playing. I would like it this way because it seems preferable to listening to a metronome. And hell, I'd take the metronome at this point, but I can't hear that either. I should also add that I can't hear already recorded audio tracks that are in the arrangement either, I'm by no means hell-bent on having a LIVE metronome or 4/4 kick to jam along to.

I have a Behringer UMC404HD as an interface. It has 4 outputs (2 stereo pairs). I have 2 stereo options created in the I/O output section. The first is called 'Main' and corresponds to the first stereo pair. The second I have called 'Metronome' and it's linked to the second stereo pair. Both are active and have that white dot visible.

Metronome button is selected and active on the main output. On the channel for Impact the output is Bus 1, which I created during one of my attempts to solve this. Bus 1 is routed to 'Main' (the text field above the selection for 'Bus 1' appears to be greyed out with no option to select the Impact). Monitoring and recording is armed on the Impact track.

Meters are hopping on the mixer's track for Impact, Bus 1, and Main output when I have Impact playing. I hear nothing. They are also hopping when I press a key on my Bass Station. That I do hear.

Now, I'm new to Studio One, and I have had some struggles trying to understand it all, but I feel like I have done everything that's suggested I do. I've watched tutorials, Googled specific questions to get detailed AI responses.

Another thing to add, I am using Studio One Artist version 6.6, which I recently learned does not have a listening bus, and that's one of the potential solutions to this problem I encountered that is not open to me, but as far as I know it is possible to hear a metronome along with an external synth even on my version of Studio One (and sure why wouldn't it be)

I don't know what I'm missing here. A proper understanding of audio routing? Drivers? Brain cells?

Please help me generate two distinct streams of sound.

Thanks

Hey guys, this has been extremely frustrating recently and can't figure it out for the life of me.

So for context, I use an MPC Live II as my soundcard and audio output through Asio4all driver, using Studio One 7. It's never given me issues until this point.

I switched back to windows audio (default) driver to check my mix on laptop speakers, but upon switching back to Asio4all, the project completely froze up and I had to force close the program.

Now when I have Asio4all driver enabled in Studio one and try to open any of my projects, it loads and then crashes.

I've tried opening the projects without the MPC Live II connected, but with Asio4all enabled and they open no issues. It seems to be only when using the MPC audio card through Asio4all.

Now, I also have an option to use the MPCs audio driver as an audio device too. When I open projects, with the MPC connected and selected as MPC Live II audio driver (Not asio4all running through MPC audio output), they still open no problem.

This has confused me to no end.... Could it be that the Asio4all driver has suddenly corrupted between the MPC output? I'm not sure.

I've been running this setup for years, no issues. Until now.

So i used to have a Quantum ES4 that was purchased in the middle of 2024, but i didn't have it for long until i got a different one. But i still have it, and i was going to download Studio One that came with it, which i had at one point downloaded.

But now that i went on the new fender page or whatever, it says on my software that i only have Studio One 6 Demo??? I even deregistered the interface and tried again but no luck... Is my license just gone or what happened?

Ok so it looks so easy in the online tutorials but i get so frustrated just trying to make a simple drum beat on the grid in Fender Studio Pro v8.

Can someone go over each step in just getting me to the point where i can click on a square in the grid to make a simple beat ?

Im just trying to lay a simple little foundation for my singing/songwriting, just enough to get each idea across. Just need a basic kit, dont need tango mango pulsar modulation waves or anything fancy.

i mostly just want to get the grid up so i can edit but i seem to have so much trouble…

Ive been loading Impact (i think thats the name) on a track, and then the frustration usually begins soon after.

Do i need to call up the qwerty keyboard and hit record, and play a few notes, then “turn part to pattern” (or vice versa)…and then double click on the part ..?

Do i even need to hit record? Is their a normal sounding kit to found ?

If anybody can shed some step by step by step light on the subject I’d greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

I want to slow down or speed up the tempo and pitch, record a track at the altered pace, and the return to normal. How??

Bro, I just started to implement sidechaining—novice, I know—and now I want to change some volumes…obviously right cause that’s what you do when you fucking mix. Well every time I click play the volume will just jump back to the original. This is so goofy and unintuitive that im sure it’s just a setting please help ts pmo🥀🥀

Studio One offers a session-free workflow, a built-in mastering engine, and a major update every year with no forced subscription. Yet in debates about which DAW to use for a professional home studio, it’s rarely the first one mentioned.

Why do you think that is? And what convinced you to switch to it?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Looking to get fully into StudioOne but am waiting to purchase a M4 Mac mini to support the latest version of both DAW’s. I am a guitar player so I am wanting to make use of the amp sims available. My production runs from live recorded guitar, synth, vocals, mild percussion, to full vst soft synths and drums

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone else is running into this issue. If I have Studio Pro 8 open and I switch my internet connection, or if I just turn off my Wi-Fi, the software crashes completely. It happens consistently on my end. Have any of you experienced this too, or found a workaround for it? Thanks!

Inside Studio One (still using V6) when I have a track outside of a bus, the fader affects the volume (obviously.) But when a track is inside of a bus, the individual track fader affects the gain for that track, rather than the volume. I'm not sure why this happens, and I need it to not happen. I'm pretty sure this only happens sometimes, but I'm not positive, I could be making that up.

The actual example, I have a rhythm guitars bus, with guitar left, and guitar right inside the bus. I need to automate just the left side, but when I automate it effects only the gain and not the volume. Automating the bus volume works fine, but I really need to be able to automate the volume on one side, and I would really prefer to keep them in their bus. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this? I would greatly appreciate the help

Just a mild curious question, do you reckon they are sizing up to add modulators to this daw ? It feels crazy that production wise there still isn’t any of this ….

Just curious if anyone got any info ?

Just noticed that Studio One says my license for Studio One 6 Artist expires in October, even though I'm pretty sure when I bought it a year ago I got a perpetual license. What's going on here?

I’m running into a weird issue I can’t seem to find an answer for and hoping someone has insight.

I use a Scarlett interface as my main audio device for my whole PC. I normally have direct monitoring enabled, and I also use DAW monitoring in Studio One when needed.

Here’s the problem:
When I open Studio One, it seems to “take over” the Scarlett. I immediately start hearing my mic only in the left ear, and it sounds doubled (like two monitoring paths).

If I enable monitoring on a track in Studio One, I then hear it in the right ear as well.

Even after I close Studio One, the issue persists system-wide the mic is still doubled in the left ear. The only way to fix it is to reset the Scarlett.

I’ve already tried:

• Adjusting I/O settings in Studio One
• Disabling “Release audio device in background”

What I’m trying to achieve:

• Keep direct monitoring ON
• Be able to turn Studio One monitoring ON/OFF per track when needed
• Still hear normal PC audio through the Scarlett

Has anyone run into this or know what might be causing it?
