⚡️ NEW to Recording with Studio One?! Join me for a Live stream in Making Music Live here on my UA-cam channel 😁 ua-cam.com/play/PLAN12c6eXaW6ui19U00c6TAhaSmkysdG7.html
Chris, Your video is the best introductory video to Studio One, and i have watched a number of videos. Your pace, your subject matter, your “digestible” way of imparting knowledge. !! THANK YOU !
Thanks for watching and the kind words! I’ll try my best to improve and keep the tutorials coming 😅
After going through countless “tutorials” where people turn 50 knobs, I found this one that made it finally work for me. I was about to give up but thanks to you I could record my first song.
Simplest and most understandable explanation for quick use
All I wanted to learn was how to record a simple track and play back. Why go through all the mix and reverb on a simple intro video. Take me back to basics. thanks!
At last, a beginner video that doesnt suddenly deepdive . Thinking of buying the basic package. Thanks!
Great video, Chris. Appreciate your explanation of the importance of Settings as it applies to latency.
Subbed!!
What a refreshing change from so many yt videos where the creator tries to demonstrate a basic concept but then pulls up a project containing dozens of tracks and skips from channel to channel too quickly while I'm trying to keep a bead on what's actually happening.
In contrast , your video starts with a blank sheet and records arguably the bare minimum number of tracks before going on to mix them.
Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback and glad it helps 🙂
I've been serching for this.
i found your video while looking for the cost to upgrade from 5 to 6.5. you’d think there’d be a shiny button on the site that directs a person to the different upgrade options but in studio one fashion i have all the options to repurchase the latest version at full price.. with that said i like your instruction style. you seem very comfortable and are straight forward with the info. keep it up! instant sub.
Truly amazing! Thanks for your knowledge. Clear, precise and truly simplified.
Just purchased presonus interface with studio one. I’ll be figuring it out today with help of your videos. Thank you 🤙🏼
Great to hear! Thanks for watching 😁
This video helped me alot..😊Thankyou
Chris, PLEASE do more intro vids on Studio One. I’m non-technical, and need all the help i can get !! ( I have Studio One 6 )
Thanks for watching! 😁 More videos on the way 🙂 is there any certain topic you would like for me to cover?
@@heychrisgreen Recording acoustic drums over a song track!
Just stumbled on your channel gonnna check out more. God Bless you and your family
Thanks for watching! 🙂
thank you and well done!
Thank you!! 🙏
Click track is good for timing to keep the song rolling smooth.
Very good video for getting started!
Thank you! 🙂
Chris Thank You for making this clip for the clueless….. Now Im able to track basic demos on a click
Cool! Have fun recording and good luck on your journey 🙂
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
This saved me thank you so much dude 😭
You’re welcome! Glad it helped! 🙂
A very nice video. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks! 🙂
Hi, is there a way to enhance the visibility of the active channel with an even brighter color compared to the others? My aim is to make it effortless to distinguish the channel that's currently playing at all times.
I wish Studio One could outline or highlight a feature for the active channel in the edit window. This could extend to its channel mix layout on the left side. Such an addition would greatly enhance the user experience. For easier distinction, the channel should be outlined in a distinctive shape, frame, or continuous brighter shade color.
Thank you, been struggling. So many of the other videos on recording with presonus are from guys that have lots of experience with other programs so it’s just so natural to them they don’t teach the basics
Thanks for watching! I’m glad it helps! 🙂
@@heychrisgreen I am moving all my recording and music stuff today into a new (not so great) space this morning watched the rock song one and think I learned the few things I couldn’t figure out before. God bless brotha thanks again
Very nice video! Good presentation. Make more please.
Thank you! More on the way! 😁 Feel free to reach out if you have questions or specific requests
Thanks just subscribed cheers
Thanks for subscribing! 🙂 Happy New Year
You explain this so well. I’m in the beginning as well. Tired of paying for studio time 😂
Thanks! Hope it helps! 🙏
Also, I learned was the video is good now you got to write down the instructions step-by-step for your own personal use. I’ll learn that by going to personal seminars or business seminars and you have to write down the instructions step-by-step for set up miking, or record from record to mixing as well as steps for adding effects and also steps to mix down from example 24 down to two track and using the bus systems as well.
Great video. I have an audiobox usb 96 with an AKG P420 microphone. It seems like Studio One won't recognize my mic. I have it plugged into slot 1 on the audiobox. Any thoughts? Thank you
Hi! Have you turned on Phantom Power? There’s a button on the front of your interface that will supply that mic with power (48v)
If that doesn’t work try a different cable and also go into your studio one settings to make sure under Audio Device you have the Audiobox 96 selected for input and device output
good job!
thanks
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
You're no Elvis but you have a great video my friend. Thank you.
Chris, thanks so much for your informative video! Your singing voice is also very pleasant and you play guitar beautifully. I just have one question. In setup, I'm not able to switch the sample rate to 48kHz as you suggested. Its default is 44.1 and there's no way to change it. Can you please help me with this? Thanks so much!
Thanks! For your sample rate are you using an external audio interface? Make sure the interface is plugged in, you might have to create a session before it will let you change the sample rate. If you’re using an audio interface let me know what kind because they also have their own software controlled sample rates to them 🤔 also windows or Mac?
Hi Cris. Thanks for your quick reply! I have a presonus audio box and I'm using a Mac with m3 chip. I tried reopening it but it still doesn't let me choose the sample rate. Grrr!
Very good! Make sure on your Mac settings under Sound that the Audiobox is listed as the recording and playback device.
When you create a new song in Studio One it will ask you to give your song a name, below that is the folder destination, and below that is usually the dropdown menu for changing the sample rate.. sometimes it does not let you change the sample rate on the Home Screen of studio one. Make sure your Audiobox is selected as the audio device.
Here’s a video I recently did on the Audiobox.. Hope it helps 🙏

Hi Chris. Thanks for the new video on audio interface. I noticed when watching it that your hhtz is also 44.1 like mine. Maybe it doesn't need to be changed to 48? Hmm. I can't get it to change anyway even though I do have my audio box set to both recording and playback. I love your videos and wanted to ask if you could make a video explaining all the knobs on the presonus audio interface. My mixer knob makes my voice inaudible when it turn it all the way the left. Not sure where I'm supposed to set all the knobs. Thanks again for all your work in helping untechy people learn how to record! @@heychrisgreen
Hi Chris. I found the area where I can change the kHz. to 48.0. I have to select new song first and its under "record and mix." thanks for you help! @@heychrisgreen
Hi my friend is the a pluggin that I can install or its a precet
Hi! The software is Presonus Studio One, the Artist and Professional versions come loaded with plugins ready to use. The plugins I used in this video are the EQ Room Reverb, and Limiter plugins that come standard with Presonus
How much does your audio interface cost? Are the preamps any good? I have an audio interface but the preamps are not as good and there's loads of hissing even when I set the gain as low as possible.
I currently use the RME Babyface Pro FS. It is by far my favorite interface, very clean. In several videos I’m using the UAD Apollo. It’s pretty good, more useful for the UAD plugins. If you have a Presonus audio interface I wouldn’t purchase any other interface under that $500 point. A lot of the Scarlett, Audient, and Presonus interfaces have similar issues at those prices. The RME is about $700-$800 used. Hope that helps! Grab yourself a Cloud Lifter if you can give it 48v phantom power it will get you +10db of clean gain (only for dynamic mics)
Chris how does one enable the Big Gain knob on the Input screen like you have?
Hmm.. I’m thinking you’re referring to the Mix Tool plugin? On any track there should be a plus icon ➕
Click the ➕ and look for the Presonus folder.. Mix Tool is a built in plugin with Studio One. The main use is the Gain knob as well as a phase invert button.
Hope that helps!
Chris i am talking about at 14:36 of this video you have the Input screen up where you can see the audio interface inputs and at the very top you have a Big Gain knob, all i see on mine is the small gain and the polarity. need to get the Gain knob that controls the audio interface gain.
Looking at "Prime" - it doesn't recognise my input keyboard (Yamaha Clavinova) Any advice appreciated !
I’ll have to check on the limitations of Prime again but I don’t believe they lock you out of using a keyboard like that.. check out this video if it is connected via usb or midi:

@@heychrisgreenHelpful - Thank you !
love it :) I use my studio one...but....my problems is reverbs :) thank you!
Try setting up an “FX Track” on your mix in Studio One and place your reverb there. If I had to guess, you might want to check out the Dry/Wet knob on the reverb plugin or the Mix knob. The more natural sounding reverbs will only be about 2.4 seconds in length, give them a short pre-delay, and make sure the mix knob is around 15%
@@heychrisgreen thank you:)
What headphones are you using?
www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DT770pro80--beyerdynamic-dt-770-pro-80-ohm-closed-back-studio-mixing-headphones
how do I make the metronome into my headphones only? It’s playing on my computer and the microphone is picking it up, But if I record without it the tempo is so off
Great question! There’s a complicated way to do this where you need to create a separate output in the Song Setup menu so that you can separate your headphones from your speakers.. I never do it this way because I just prefer to hear my headphones and monitors with the same mix..
The easy way is to mute your speakers (either with your audio interface or physically turn them off) while recording.. then when you’re done recording with headphones you would unmute or power on your speakers..
I’ve got a video on my channel all about the Click Track in Studio One, you can also check out Joe Gilder on UA-cam he has a whole mess of videos that will help you as well

I just wanted to offer a tip to any new recording enthusiasts out there, and that is to buy a pair of Closed Back headphones. After years of using the old standard AKG 240, you realize this is where it's at. There are many good brands to choose from, but these Sony MDR-7506 do the trick for me.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Will the Focusrite Solo work?
Yes! Focusrite is a good one, my wife used that interface for many years
@@heychrisgreen Thanks, again. I really appreciate all your assistance.
my studio one still doesnt work. i cant here anything through my headphones and imnot even sure if my mic is working. it shows its sound but nothing comes out
Hmmm 🤔 What kind of Audio Interface are you using and what mic is it? I’ll try to help if I can! 😅

Thank you for this video! I have 6.5 and am using it for editing my voice overs but haven't used it for applying any effects to my voice. Do you happen to know if S1 has a feature for producing the effect heard with this guy's voice here?: ua-cam.com/video/t3rdn1_0fWE/v-deo.html
I don’t have my headphones on but there’s definitely some reverb being added.. I would create an FX track (right click your voice over track then select “Add FX track”)
Then on your FX track load the Room Reverb plugin from Presonus.. you can shuffle through the presets til you find something you like… he’s got a lot of pre-delay and around a 6-8 second decay.. nothing crazy!
@@heychrisgreen THANK YOU!! I will try what you suggest. I figured S! probably had the options for this effect (and lots more) but didn't even know where to look. I really appreciate you taking the time for that explanatory answer!

I hope the studio build you show has another DAW, PRESONUS SUCKS for beginners.
Yeah, I'm trying so hard to get help on learning as a brand new user, spent hours researching. Every video already assumes you know what you're doing, they're using keyboard shortcuts to do things and not explaining what they're doing and how. There's a few really good videos, but there's so much in the workspace, I want help from someone assuming I know absolutely nothing and show me how to do things. This is a bit frustrating.
Diddo..
Stay focused.. 🎉 negativity and frustration don't mix but thx for your time and input
Make sure that it is version 6.5 make sure everybody is on the same page. Make sure it’s the current version not the video likes. It was two or three years ago. It’s very important get updated. I don’t have the professional version but I will definitely spend $299 to make sure that I’m current on the all versions but for now make sure that you’re on the latest version 6.5.3 I believe
Studio One was my first DAW. After fl studio, to compare, s1 sometimes more intuitive. What DAW better for beginners?
3 hours from start to walk away Studio ONE is ONE YOU SHOULD NOT RECOMMEND. And when I say.,. "Walk away", I ment walk far away from your studio before you start thowing your love gear against the wall. !!!!!
I spent 8 hours today staring at my laptop with guitar in hand trying to record . I managed to record most of what I wanted but then it all went wrong trying to drag and join bits up arggggh.it's so difficult.
I must say I do find it very fiddly - and will probably stay with Mixcraft - and Dorico. Thank God it was free !
@@thescotty1218 so it's pretty bad, as far as not good?
@@gordon9177 I think it's a great tool if you know how to work it. I haven't given up yet. I'm trying tidsy in fact, I understand it a bit better after trying bandlab. I'm going to persevere.
well,,,, you totally ruined it by playing a totally different song while you were mixing. Very unhelpful!
