@@ProducingInTheBox thank you I'm from France and I don't find much resources on UA-cam about studio one in french wich is strange because I think it's a great DAW but not enough known in my country. Thank you for your great videos.
Seems pretty cool but pretty much everything you mentioned in this Video, Reaper has them all plus you get the crazy customisation, flexibility tht no other daws have but goodluck woth S1, its still a great daw.
@@ProducingInTheBox I have both S1 and Reaper installed on my PC. I mostly use Reaper because I have a very customized setup with custom layouts, themes, custom actions, macros, toolbars and many many custom community made scripts but I do use S1 time to time as well.
S1 is one of the better ones. I was trained on Pro Tools, owned and used Logic, S1, Acid, FL, etc. Here's my 2 cents: Try REAPER. Just watch a few videos. Download the demo. Go nuts.
I started with ProTools, and I had a very difficult time getting anything done with it. I've had an even worse time with Reason...also the sequencer is hard to look at. I also tried FL Studio, Cubase, and Ableton...all without success. Then, I tried Studio One 2, and I liked the sounds but couldn't grasp that either. Then, I upgraded to S1 5 because of the chord track, the arranger track...for starters, and when I plugged in my microphone, guitar, and audio interface...it was so easy to set up!! I was so elated that S1 took out the guess work in the set up. One ironic thing though is if I had a Mac, I would use Logic...so I was sort of disappointed that it wasn't compatible with PC. However, your review makes me feel a bit better with my set up of S1 5 and a PC. :-)
@@BR_READDY225 - Logic seems to have a streamlined clean look; and it seems to be very organized, and is also, 'logical.' :D If I ever buy a Mac...I would def. use Logic.
Haven’t tried but I don’t see the plug-in folder being quicker than the shift + number key command (although it does need turning on in logic). Does the plug-in folder also contain software instruments too?
That’s in a separate place because studio one handles tracks and channels differently! The plug-in folder shows the names which seems to be the advantage for me there! You can do something similar in studio one too. But I can never remember where in my chain the plugins are

I'm still torn between the two. There's some darn annoying things about Studio One that Logic got right moons ago. The lack of the 1-to-1 track to mixer relationship makes things complicated; and having to go to the mixer to choose to remove unused instruments is just another layer of complexity. Duplicating is a pain vs looping; the hide function is clunky; the fact you have to right click a track to find where it's associated mixer output is (vs Logics two always visible channels) is also a pain.

Dude I was reading your comment and I had to scroll up to see if I wrote this. Yes to all of these things. The keyframing automation in studio one is one of the most annoying things in computing history but not as bad as DaVinci Resolve’s god awful keyframing

Logic is limited? Lmao, that's ridiculous. Logic is arguably the best "all in one" DAW. Ableton has a slight edge in sampling, pitch modulation and live performance -- but Logic is a far superior for tracking and being a "jack of all trades" DAW.
S1 looking pretty good. I'm a Cubase 12 user myself but the plugin folder option in S1 is awesome. S1 and Cubase are very similar in many way. Possibly due to where the developers of S1 started 🤷♂️🤷♂️ If I was choosing a DAW from scratch there's a chance I would have chosen S1. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾 😊
Thank you for watching! Cubase would have been my other option! I love the fact that it has a built in "Vocaline" style track editor! Such a handy feature!
@@ProducingInTheBox yeaht thats right, they come from Hamburg Germany, where emagic Logic has started too, Steinberg is from Hamburg, and Studio one too. 3Major DAW´s from one City.
Im actually a Studio One user who just bought a Macbook Air 13 inch and was considering switching to Logic so its good to hear that I might actually be just fine with my current DAW. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Studio One 5.5.1 is King of the Mountain in my opinion. I started with Pro Tools, didn't take long to realize the pro fools was not a stable DAW, crashed several times. I purchased my first Studio One around that time. I also tried Harrison Mixbus, which is a cool sounding DAW, but is behind on work flow compared to Studio One. I personally wish the two would team up to accomplish that Harrison Console sound. I've also tried Samplitude, MOTU Digital Preformer, a few other DAWs including Luna. But for me Studio One just made sense. It may not be for everyone but to me the work flow and everything the user get with Studio One makes it the perfect DAW. Music is the universal language that touches everyone. Keep the music alive. Stay safe and may God bless 🙏✝️
I couldn’t agree more! And bro, Harrison Mixbus was a blast. But I agree. The biggest problem was I couldn’t import tempo maps. Like. 😭 the sound was really cool tho. I’m fluent in ProTools just because it’s a DAW that’s popular and widely used so knowing how to use it is handy. But I didn’t like it personally. And it’s so unstable. FLStudio didn’t have the drum editing workflow I needed and Ableton seemed. Like small 😂 ya know? All great DAWs but Studio One feels like home like no other daw. God bless! Keep on making great music!
@@ProducingInTheBox Thank you for the videos you do. This one was my first time visiting your channel. I'm a subscriber now!!!! Have a nice weekend. Take care and may God bless 🙏✝️
I'm indeed recording, editing and pre mixing on Studio One, then I export and final mix on Mixbus 32c, then it's Ozone and done. I think it's a good workflow specially that Mixbus is very taxative on CPU so it also forces you to try to mix with their strips and well, of course some 3rd parties on the Bus :) . One great thing I found is that Faderport works like a charm with Mixbus without needing to set it to Mackie or otherwise.
@@PaulEvansRahal I love Studio One and the work flow as well but the final product that one can get from Mixbus is great as well. I was lucky enough to hear the real Harrison Console back in the 80's and it is a sound that you'll never forget. To this day it is the best sound to my ears I ever heard. AC/DC is one of the great artist to use the Harrison Console. To me it's the best. Thank you for telling me how you do your work flow. I think it's great. Stay safe and may God bless 🙏✝️
wierd how identical our story is from being a logic vet to building a gaming pc and and decided to work on it , ran into studio one and been in love ever since , i still have logic and run studio one on my pc and mac
It’s an awesome thing to realize the computer you built can absolutely obliterate the prebuilts 😂😂😂 although I do love MacBooks. I’ll always have one because I love how sleek and powerful they are. The battery life on the new M1s are insane too 😳
Logic will get you in trouble if you have clients like mixing/mastering work. When things go missing and constant crashes occur, you're gonna spend all day trying to troubleshoot. Also Apple support totally sucks donkey ba11s. They just refer you to their troubleshoot forums site. It's not good for business. Been a Logic user since 2016 and made the switch to Maschine and Studio One.
What I use also and just upgraded to thr full dize Maschine Mk3. Do you drag audio tracks from Maschine or use a template in S1? I found setting up Maschine in S1 to be very cumbersome and frustrating. Used Logic in college but not since and the built in instruments blow away the competition but with Komplete, IK Total Studio, Labs and other 3rd party doesn't matter too much. Didn't realize Logic had any stability issues.
i used logic for 10 years and then switched to s1, it's just better (but i do REALLY miss logic's elec pianos and es1, but those are literally the only things)
S1 user here. I'm happy you're enjoying it. For me, I'm kind of in an impostor syndrome when it comes to using it. 5.5 addressed most of the features 5.4 was missing, now it's a complete DAW. For Mixing / Mastering. Not for recording / Editing. The Layers are the worst possible workflow. Can't move them around, copy/paste them until you make them a primary layer. When you have two channels selected and the layers are unfolded, you want to solo them, you'll most likely select the 2nd layer of the top channel. When you try to edit fades, it's a mess, can't really move things around with crossfades applied, theres literally no simple way to add a crossfade with a length of the selection. Those are just some major issues when recording / editing. The Melodyne integration is amazing though. BC I'm a travelling producer, I end up recording and editing everything in Pro Tools (since PT is the best in those), then using S1 to Mix/Master when I can. Sometimes I question myself if it's worth it, though.
ProTools is a beast for audio editing. I don’t use the layering feature in studio one. It’s still really clunky. Logic did nail that one for sure. 😂 I just open a new track. Taxes the cpu a little more but I can afford it for most sessions. Besides that, I love the editing workflow in studio one. Easy slip editing is another thing Logic sucked at and studio one is awesome at. Literally one of the main reasons I don’t use ProTools is because of stability. I haven’t had a good experience with it so I’ve began to avoid it. Still an industry standard and important to learn for sure tho.
@@ProducingInTheBox yeah, stability sucks in PT. Logic's folder tracks didn't really do it for me though, I always had to flattern the takes before editing so I could use fades properly.
@@skk6811 it wasn’t perfect, that’s for sure 😂 it wasn’t the end of the world tho. There was work arounds. Just added unnecessary time and that’s what I hated
"For Mixing / Mastering. Not for recording / Editing" You can't be serious, you really can not be serious. Countless people use it for everything including releasing songs right from the DAW. That is such a dig and it's not an accurate one.
@@ampstudios I never said it wasn’t great at it. It’s awesome! Just from my personal pov ProTools has a few advantages. And that’s only because it’s been around since the literal beginning of computer based mixing 😂 studio one is an extremely solid DAW for everything. It’s why I chose it
Just messing with Studio One trial and I'm seriously considering changing. I love have drag and drop everything is. The workflow is so much faster than FL Studio which is what I use now
I have a video comparing FL Studio with Studio One! I think you might like it! Here’s the link 👇 Studio One VS FL Studio: Which is the better DAW? ua-cam.com/video/Ld3gxAwZusE/v-deo.html
Actually probably not. I never would have been “forced” to make that decision! But after I switched I realized just how powerful this was! Now I still use Studio One on Mac as well! Im glad I was forced to upgrade because I wouldn’t have gotten a chance to learn this DAW! It fits my workflow so much better
Hey there, just came across your channel. I am a Logic Pro user, looking at making the switch. One feature in Logic that I absolutely love is the 'Drum Track' as it allows me to get great performances just by altering the matrix. Is there an equivalent method workaround in Studio One to address this?
If you’re talking about the “Virtual drummer” in logic, then no. I never used it tbh because I’m pretty particular about every single hit and I want complete control. Although, working with midi in Studio One was so much better imo! So it was an easy transition!
@@ProducingInTheBox Thanks for that. How do you find the quantization of audio in Studio One? I love Logic's, and it is something I use often for tightening up performances.
I've personally tried most DAWS out there, with the exception of Pro Tools and for me 'Reaper' makes life so sweet in regards to customisation, workflow, speed and zero crashing. I feel that a lot of people are driven by aesthetics at the expense of performance. That's my personnal experience, however never limit yourself to one one DAW or one piece of software, they are all tools there to avail of, and never become a narrowminded Fanboy to one brand of company which is unproductive at best, and always remember that we as the consumer are nothing but a drop in ocean to these companies, who would certainly screw us over in the blink of an eye for profit if it ever came to it. Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, or whoever they may be. There's no perfect DAW, and if a DAW works for you stick with it, because that's the perfect DAW for 'you'.
I like cakewalk better sound on sound recording free loops it free not saying the studio one was horrible the loops in sphere didn't fit my music I guess you go back to what you know I've been using cakewalk for 30 years
The most important part of making music is you! So if you’re more comfortable with Cakewalk, then use it! It’s a really solid software and a lot of great music has been made on it!
Logic & midi. Logic audio started as software by Emagic, , Late 1990's, cross platforms, called Notator , a midi editor. Its features were amazing, very powerful and intuitive. Apple has somehow 'de functioned '/ lessened its usability in favor of a general overall 'ease of use'. I guess ??? I dont know why, but it is even worse, midi wise, than earlier versions of apple only logic.
I've tried Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, Bitwig, FL Studio, Reaper and other stuff like Garageband, Adobe audition etc and by far my choice is Studio One.
still logic has better features like Live Loops and Modulation and few extra audio effects ...btw I'm a studio one user and i love it but not being able to modulate in S1 is pain!
I would agree here! I don’t really use the live loops very often so it wasn’t a feature I missed. My biggest drawback was the lack of stock sounds! Logics piano and strings were really good!
If Logic was available in Windows and had a built in browser, I would totally go with Logic X. Not that Studio one is bad. It's the best DAW I came across. But I honestly hate the UI and built in sampler (SampleOne). The UI is an eye sore for me. Too falt, I mean. Too fucking flat. I use studio one though lmao. I don't believe in apple to buy a mac device and use logic. If logic comes to windows, I'll use logic.
PreSonus KNOW that Studio One is priced too high. That is why they go to so much trouble to hide the price. Studio One is NOT in competition with ProTools. That is a fight that cannot be won. They are in completion with Logic Pro x. There are many more Windows users than Mac O/S so since Studio One runs on Windows, PreSonus could be assured of excellent sales if they brought their pricing inline with Logic Pro X. I am sure that even some Mac O/S users might be tempted to migrate to Windows if it meant more reliable and more powerful hardware for the same money. It's such a pity.
I love to switch, but im not going to because of the platform.. cross platform for me is linux... until then, im OSx.. Thats why Mixbuss and BM Fairlight excite me... As for midi Lol....... WTF? Mouse it baby , but alas , thats your thing..
Ok nice. Why on earth you would draw a simple triad like that in the piano roll? If you now that after a D major it can go an A, you can digit them on your keyboard. Selecting the note then the scale on those drop menus takes 100 times longer.
I started with FL studio looong time ago but left the musical life for a long time. When I came back and started studying production, my teacher made us use Reason, and I didn't know much about production so I got frustrated. Then I tried pro tools first and my computer got crazy. Then I tried Reaper and I can say that's my second DAW but I don't know, one of my teachers used S1 and I said, why not trying that one and learn with the same DAW ? And... I love Studio One. I remember I tried the free version of S1 3, haha, but every time the launch an update, it gets better. I love the MIDI edit with musical Sheet because it also helps me studying. It's so easy to drag and drop. And have you tried the Sphere membership? The latest version with all the add ons included, I'll marry presonus for that haha. Amazing video! I'll share it!
Glad to see you here on this video! Welcome back! I haven't subscribed to Sphere yet! Everyone keeps saying I should tho! I might have to! Thanks again!
I’ve been using studio one for years and tonight I reached the point where I’m like Instruments and midi and piano roll is complete trash and I’m willing to slide over to logic, years of studio one the piano roll and quantizing is so just not good, I dipped into FL studio and logic and picked it up in days, studio one to this day just frustrates me trying to do anything with instruments and automation it’s a f*cking mess. I love the rest of the daw. Also it’s been crashing and bugging lately like never before .
I still think being able to get Midi OR Audio to follow your chord track is akin to witchcraft. It's such a useful creative tool. I did try out Cubase last year - but honestly there is no comparison. Things that are difficult in other DAWs (like mapping tempo) and just drag and drop in S1. Why would you use anything else?
Thank you! Welcome to the community! I upload every Wednesday at 7am EST and sometimes I’ll upload more through the week of something comes up that I find interesting! Watch this ua-cam.com/video/oe5cyA-RlkY/v-deo.html if you haven’t already! It really goes in depth about why I started this channel!

The big fail with Studio One to Logic concerning midi is the lack of Logic being able to program multiple articulation simultaneously over the notes in a chord within the same track. That is a huge difference. From their manual.. "Be mindful that Sound Variations will be applied to all coincident Notes, and as such you won’t be able to hear multiple articulations simultaneously. For example, you won’t be able to program a chord where the high notes use “Hammer-on” and the low notes use “Open.”
I am Studio one user since 2009m coming from Fruity Loops and Cakewalk and Synapse Orion back then. Today S1 is my number one, while still using Synapse Orion though no longer in production as a DAW.
That’s another great daw as well! It didn’t seem to fit my workflow personally but I have nothing bad to say about that software! I even use some of their plugins in studio one!
In fl studio, in the arrangement area, you know, we can arrange a kick as a wav track with one click, and then we can delete the wav we put with one click again by clicking on it. can you do the same feature in studio one?
And this is one and only one thing that is intuitive in FL Studio xD And I say it as an FL Studio user since 2009 till last year.I love FL, but S1 is way better in my opinion.
alles was du da presentiert hast kann man auch seit jahren schon in Logic machen und sogar deutlich besser denke einfach das presonus deine meinung aufgekauft hat
I’m thrilled with Studio One! Cubase and FLStudio are both great DAWs as well! Use whatever fits your workflow the best! Grammys have been won on both of those DAWs!
How do the free / default virtual instruments on Studio One Professional compare to the ones on Logic Pro. Only thing holding me back from making the switch. Thanks.
Oh this held me up too!! The free synths are actually really great! But it doesn’t have everything. I downloaded LABS by Spitfire Audio for strings and other things (it’s all free by the way and I even made a video about it on my channel) to make up for what I lost in Logic. LABS blows Logics stock stuff out of the water. Even if you stay with Logic, I’d still download LABS. So that’s my answer!
I just rendered out the stems and brought them over to Studio One! It took me a while, but it was worth it. I also have all the original raw files in a folder on a separate hard drive so if I needed the raw files, I have those too!
Here is the link to todays video! ua-cam.com/video/b5WhyTZw5hM/v-deo.html I go over the smart tool feature for studio one. I found a workaround. It’s not PERFECT but I think you’ll find it useful! I hope this helps! Thank you for the inspiration! 🙏

Studio One 5.5.1 is King of the Mountain in my opinion. I started with Pro Tools, didn't take long to realize the pro fools was not a stable DAW, crashed several times. I purchased my first Studio One around that time. I also tried Harrison Mixbus, which is a cool sounding DAW, but is behind on work flow compared to Studio One. I personally wish the two would team up to accomplish that Harrison Console sound. I've also tried Samplitude, MOTU Digital Preformer, a few other DAWs including Luna. But for me Studio One just made sense. It may not be for everyone but to me the work flow and everything the user get with Studio One makes it the perfect DAW. Music is the universal language that touches everyone. Keep the music alive. Stay safe and may God bless 🙏✝️
I couldn’t agree more! And bro, Harrison Mixbus was a blast. But I agree. The biggest problem was I couldn’t import tempo maps. Like. 😭 the sound was really cool tho. I’m fluent in ProTools just because it’s a DAW that’s popular and widely used so knowing how to use it is handy. But I didn’t like it personally. And it’s so unstable. FLStudio didn’t have the drum editing workflow I needed and Ableton seemed. Like small 😂 ya know? All great DAWs but Studio One feels like home like no other daw. God bless! Keep on making great music!
@@ProducingInTheBox Thank you for the videos you do. This one was my first time visiting your channel. I'm a subscriber now!!!! Have a nice weekend. Take care and may God bless 🙏✝️
@@jonmessenger5621 welcome to the channel and welcome to this small, amazing community! Have a wonderful weekend as well! God bless! 🙏
I'm indeed recording, editing and pre mixing on Studio One, then I export and final mix on Mixbus 32c, then it's Ozone and done. I think it's a good workflow specially that Mixbus is very taxative on CPU so it also forces you to try to mix with their strips and well, of course some 3rd parties on the Bus :) . One great thing I found is that Faderport works like a charm with Mixbus without needing to set it to Mackie or otherwise.
@@PaulEvansRahal I love Studio One and the work flow as well but the final product that one can get from Mixbus is great as well. I was lucky enough to hear the real Harrison Console back in the 80's and it is a sound that you'll never forget. To this day it is the best sound to my ears I ever heard. AC/DC is one of the great artist to use the Harrison Console. To me it's the best. Thank you for telling me how you do your work flow. I think it's great. Stay safe and may God bless 🙏✝️
wierd how identical our story is from being a logic vet to building a gaming pc and and decided to work on it , ran into studio one and been in love ever since , i still have logic and run studio one on my pc and mac
It’s an awesome thing to realize the computer you built can absolutely obliterate the prebuilts 😂😂😂 although I do love MacBooks. I’ll always have one because I love how sleek and powerful they are. The battery life on the new M1s are insane too 😳
@@ProducingInTheBox i got the 2020 m1 for mobile work
@@pappayoyo I’m still crankin my late 2015 pro for remote work! I do all my mixing at home anyway so I don’t need a TON of cpu power
@@ProducingInTheBox thats wussup man
That's exactly why I switched from Logic to Studio One...and i loved it👍🏻
Logic will get you in trouble if you have clients like mixing/mastering work. When things go missing and constant crashes occur, you're gonna spend all day trying to troubleshoot. Also Apple support totally sucks donkey ba11s. They just refer you to their troubleshoot forums site. It's not good for business. Been a Logic user since 2016 and made the switch to Maschine and Studio One.
Yeah man. It definitely frustrated me. Especially when I was getting paid for other peoples music. I couldn’t have the stability issues 😂
What I use also and just upgraded to thr full dize Maschine Mk3. Do you drag audio tracks from Maschine or use a template in S1? I found setting up Maschine in S1 to be very cumbersome and frustrating. Used Logic in college but not since and the built in instruments blow away the competition but with Komplete, IK Total Studio, Labs and other 3rd party doesn't matter too much. Didn't realize Logic had any stability issues.
so after many years of waiting STUDIO ONE still cannot audition 3 notes in a chord without clicking PLAY ? What a shame !
i used logic for 10 years and then switched to s1, it's just better (but i do REALLY miss logic's elec pianos and es1, but those are literally the only things)
Check out LABS by Spitfire Audio. It’s a free sample library. It replaced most of what I had in Logic.
@@ProducingInTheBox yeah, i have tired everything, nothing is quite the same.
S1 user here. I'm happy you're enjoying it. For me, I'm kind of in an impostor syndrome when it comes to using it. 5.5 addressed most of the features 5.4 was missing, now it's a complete DAW. For Mixing / Mastering. Not for recording / Editing. The Layers are the worst possible workflow. Can't move them around, copy/paste them until you make them a primary layer. When you have two channels selected and the layers are unfolded, you want to solo them, you'll most likely select the 2nd layer of the top channel. When you try to edit fades, it's a mess, can't really move things around with crossfades applied, theres literally no simple way to add a crossfade with a length of the selection. Those are just some major issues when recording / editing. The Melodyne integration is amazing though.
BC I'm a travelling producer, I end up recording and editing everything in Pro Tools (since PT is the best in those), then using S1 to Mix/Master when I can. Sometimes I question myself if it's worth it, though.
ProTools is a beast for audio editing. I don’t use the layering feature in studio one. It’s still really clunky. Logic did nail that one for sure. 😂 I just open a new track. Taxes the cpu a little more but I can afford it for most sessions. Besides that, I love the editing workflow in studio one. Easy slip editing is another thing Logic sucked at and studio one is awesome at. Literally one of the main reasons I don’t use ProTools is because of stability. I haven’t had a good experience with it so I’ve began to avoid it. Still an industry standard and important to learn for sure tho.
@@ProducingInTheBox yeah, stability sucks in PT. Logic's folder tracks didn't really do it for me though, I always had to flattern the takes before editing so I could use fades properly.
@@skk6811 it wasn’t perfect, that’s for sure 😂 it wasn’t the end of the world tho. There was work arounds. Just added unnecessary time and that’s what I hated
"For Mixing / Mastering. Not for recording / Editing" You can't be serious, you really can not be serious. Countless people use it for everything including releasing songs right from the DAW. That is such a dig and it's not an accurate one.
@@ampstudios I never said it wasn’t great at it. It’s awesome! Just from my personal pov ProTools has a few advantages. And that’s only because it’s been around since the literal beginning of computer based mixing 😂 studio one is an extremely solid DAW for everything. It’s why I chose it
Just messing with Studio One trial and I'm seriously considering changing. I love have drag and drop everything is. The workflow is so much faster than FL Studio which is what I use now
I have a video comparing FL Studio with Studio One! I think you might like it! Here’s the link 👇
Studio One VS FL Studio: Which is the better DAW?
ua-cam.com/video/Ld3gxAwZusE/v-deo.html
Ive been using ableton for 10+ years, theres something about S1 that i really like but I cant put a finger on it, using the demo as I type 😃
I hope you like it! Ableton is great too! Check out my channel! I recently just made a video comparing Ableton to Studio One!
Wait. You only changed because you have an old slow Mac. Would you have changed if it wasn't slow?
Actually probably not. I never would have been “forced” to make that decision! But after I switched I realized just how powerful this was! Now I still use Studio One on Mac as well! Im glad I was forced to upgrade because I wouldn’t have gotten a chance to learn this DAW! It fits my workflow so much better
Hey there, just came across your channel. I am a Logic Pro user, looking at making the switch. One feature in Logic that I absolutely love is the 'Drum Track' as it allows me to get great performances just by altering the matrix. Is there an equivalent method workaround in Studio One to address this?
If you’re talking about the “Virtual drummer” in logic, then no. I never used it tbh because I’m pretty particular about every single hit and I want complete control. Although, working with midi in Studio One was so much better imo! So it was an easy transition!
@@ProducingInTheBox Thanks for that. How do you find the quantization of audio in Studio One? I love Logic's, and it is something I use often for tightening up performances.
I've personally tried most DAWS out there, with the exception of Pro Tools and for me 'Reaper' makes life so sweet in regards to customisation, workflow, speed and zero crashing.
I feel that a lot of people are driven by aesthetics at the expense of performance. That's my personnal experience, however never limit yourself to one one DAW or one piece of software, they are all tools there to avail of, and never become a narrowminded Fanboy to one brand of company which is unproductive at best, and always remember that we as the consumer are nothing but a drop in ocean to these companies, who would certainly screw us over in the blink of an eye for profit if it ever came to it. Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, or whoever they may be.
There's no perfect DAW, and if a DAW works for you stick with it, because that's the perfect DAW for 'you'.
It's a cluttered interface. It's overwhelming.
I like cakewalk better sound on sound recording free loops it free not saying the studio one was horrible the loops in sphere didn't fit my music I guess you go back to what you know I've been using cakewalk for 30 years
The most important part of making music is you! So if you’re more comfortable with Cakewalk, then use it! It’s a really solid software and a lot of great music has been made on it!
I also use studio one.❤
It's soooooo good!
Logic & midi. Logic audio started as software by Emagic, , Late 1990's, cross platforms, called Notator , a midi editor. Its features were amazing, very powerful and intuitive. Apple has somehow 'de functioned '/ lessened its usability in favor of a general overall 'ease of use'. I guess ??? I dont know why, but it is even worse, midi wise, than earlier versions of apple only logic.
Good stuff! I’ve been using Studio One for 2-years and didn’t know some of these techniques. I’ve subscribed!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! We have a lot of fun here 😂
there are way more,i use different techniques , I just learned his here,its very easy to use too
I've tried Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, Bitwig, FL Studio, Reaper and other stuff like Garageband, Adobe audition etc and by far my choice is Studio One.
still logic has better features like Live Loops and Modulation and few extra audio effects ...btw I'm a studio one user and i love it but not being able to modulate in S1 is pain!
I would agree here! I don’t really use the live loops very often so it wasn’t a feature I missed. My biggest drawback was the lack of stock sounds! Logics piano and strings were really good!
Idk but for mixing vocals studio ones work flow is unmatched.
@@KeenApollo it’s such a great workflow! Especially with the plug-in folders. Thats such a time saver
🚫Windows🚫
i think thats a person view but S1 is just so simple and precise
If Logic was available in Windows and had a built in browser, I would totally go with Logic X. Not that Studio one is bad. It's the best DAW I came across. But I honestly hate the UI and built in sampler (SampleOne). The UI is an eye sore for me. Too falt, I mean. Too fucking flat. I use studio one though lmao. I don't believe in apple to buy a mac device and use logic. If logic comes to windows, I'll use logic.
PreSonus KNOW that Studio One is priced too high. That is why they go to so much trouble to hide the price. Studio One is NOT in competition with ProTools. That is a fight that cannot be won. They are in completion with Logic Pro x. There are many more Windows users than Mac O/S so since Studio One runs on Windows, PreSonus could be assured of excellent sales if they brought their pricing inline with Logic Pro X. I am sure that even some Mac O/S users might be tempted to migrate to Windows if it meant more reliable and more powerful hardware for the same money. It's such a pity.
I love to switch, but im not going to because of the platform.. cross platform for me is linux... until then, im OSx..
Thats why Mixbuss and BM Fairlight excite me...
As for midi Lol....... WTF?
Mouse it baby , but alas , thats your thing..
Ok nice. Why on earth you would draw a simple triad like that in the piano roll? If you now that after a D major it can go an A, you can digit them on your keyboard. Selecting the note then the scale on those drop menus takes 100 times longer.
Studio one seems pretty decent but the built in sounds/instruments need _a lot_ of work.
Download LABS by Spitfire Audio! They have a ton of free sound sets that are incredible
Agreed...it's my only complaint. IK Total studio or Komplete I think are good replacements for what's missing though...or Labs like mentioned. 👍
What all is missing.
@@accentontheoffMaybe just SampleTank 4 though since S1 already has plug ins that are in IK total studio
@@WyattLite-n-inn What’s the connection between Studio One and IK.
Welcome to the family 💯💯💯
It really is the community out here rn 😎 welcome to the producing in the box community!
I started with FL studio looong time ago but left the musical life for a long time. When I came back and started studying production, my teacher made us use Reason, and I didn't know much about production so I got frustrated. Then I tried pro tools first and my computer got crazy.
Then I tried Reaper and I can say that's my second DAW but I don't know, one of my teachers used S1 and I said, why not trying that one and learn with the same DAW ?
And...
I love Studio One. I remember I tried the free version of S1 3, haha, but every time the launch an update, it gets better.
I love the MIDI edit with musical Sheet because it also helps me studying.
It's so easy to drag and drop.
And have you tried the Sphere membership? The latest version with all the add ons included, I'll marry presonus for that haha. Amazing video! I'll share it!
Glad to see you here on this video! Welcome back! I haven't subscribed to Sphere yet! Everyone keeps saying I should tho! I might have to! Thanks again!
I’ve been using studio one for years and tonight I reached the point where I’m like Instruments and midi and piano roll is complete trash and I’m willing to slide over to logic, years of studio one the piano roll and quantizing is so just not good, I dipped into FL studio and logic and picked it up in days, studio one to this day just frustrates me trying to do anything with instruments and automation it’s a f*cking mess. I love the rest of the daw. Also it’s been crashing and bugging lately like never before .
Bro BUMMER. Try out LABS by Spitfire Audio for some free instruments. Also the midi roll takes some time to get used to but I love how it quantizes.
I still think being able to get Midi OR Audio to follow your chord track is akin to witchcraft. It's such a useful creative tool. I did try out Cubase last year - but honestly there is no comparison. Things that are difficult in other DAWs (like mapping tempo) and just drag and drop in S1. Why would you use anything else?
Yezzzirr, STUDIO ONE GANG 4L
I produced 2 songs in Logic a few years ago and it was awful! I found it illogical to be honest.
I Switched From Studio One to Logic
I love both DAWs

The only thing I'd like to see is the plugin folder capability on Logic. The stock sounds are great in Logic.
The big fail with Studio One to Logic concerning midi is the lack of Logic being able to program multiple articulation simultaneously over the notes in a chord within the same track. That is a huge difference. From their manual.. "Be mindful that Sound Variations will be applied to all coincident Notes, and as such you won’t be able to hear multiple articulations simultaneously. For example, you won’t be able to program a chord where the high notes use “Hammer-on” and the low notes use “Open.”
And STO is much more light! It runs very smooth.
Reaper is the best Daw,go deeper with it and you will never regret it,the most customizable Daw.
I’m glad you’re enjoying reaper! I use a lot of their plugins inside of studio one! It’s a great daw, it just didn’t fit my workflow personally.
you switched because your mac is out not because the daw is not good, this is scam.
I am Studio one user since 2009m coming from Fruity Loops and Cakewalk and Synapse Orion back then. Today S1 is my number one, while still using Synapse Orion though no longer in production as a DAW.
What size and resolution monitor are you using on the Mac side?
It just feels like you've been using it for ages in the moment you first touch it.
Reaper can run on anything,PC, Mac and etc with no issues.
That’s another great daw as well! It didn’t seem to fit my workflow personally but I have nothing bad to say about that software! I even use some of their plugins in studio one!
Extremely helpful and informative, Thanks so much!
Very nice video!
How do you get the different colors on the different notes in the midi edit part?
In fl studio, in the arrangement area, you know, we can arrange a kick as a wav track with one click, and then we can delete the wav we put with one click again by clicking on it. can you do the same feature in studio one?
And this is one and only one thing that is intuitive in FL Studio xD And I say it as an FL Studio user since 2009 till last year.I love FL, but S1 is way better in my opinion.
what I don't like about Studio One is the colors.
Reason 12 + Studio one pro= Awesome!
Do you know about shortcuts I. The preferences tab you can change the shortcuts from studio ones to Logic Pro shortcuts
Yes! That was my 5th reason why I switched! Such a great feature!
alles was du da presentiert hast kann man auch seit jahren schon in Logic machen und sogar deutlich besser denke einfach das presonus deine meinung aufgekauft hat
I am using cubase and fl studio pro versions, are you happy with studio one??
I’m thrilled with Studio One! Cubase and FLStudio are both great DAWs as well! Use whatever fits your workflow the best! Grammys have been won on both of those DAWs!
Switched from Flstudio to studio one ...
Excellent DAW i must say
I couldn’t agree more
What were your considerations vs cubase 12?
The chord track tbh. I also had some PreSonus gear already (Studio live mixer) and the integration was amazing.
Studio one is a killer and undrated
How do the free / default virtual instruments on Studio One Professional compare to the ones on Logic Pro. Only thing holding me back from making the switch. Thanks.
Oh this held me up too!! The free synths are actually really great! But it doesn’t have everything. I downloaded LABS by Spitfire Audio for strings and other things (it’s all free by the way and I even made a video about it on my channel) to make up for what I lost in Logic. LABS blows Logics stock stuff out of the water. Even if you stay with Logic, I’d still download LABS. So that’s my answer!
@@ProducingInTheBox Got it thanks.
Really nice and helpful... Thanks!
Can you use the songs you made in Logic in Studio One? How easy is it to convert?
I just rendered out the stems and brought them over to Studio One! It took me a while, but it was worth it. I also have all the original raw files in a folder on a separate hard drive so if I needed the raw files, I have those too!
Bro didn't even try Fl Studio
I wish Presonus had a drummer like in Logic
The Logic drummer is pretty cool haha
Studio one selection an markee tool are reversed as compared to logic or any other daw … any way to change that behaviour?
I’m not quite sure what you mean by “reversed” but I’ll look into it and see!
@@ProducingInTheBox like if we hover over top it is markee instead of selecting tool and viceversa
