I started using the Project page from the day I started using SO 4 years ago. Makes life a lot easier and the loudness check is incredibly useful. A very useful thing to use Projects for is to park your ideas. At present I have 2 projects where I park ideas, one is for instruments the other not. My instrumental project has about 20 songs ideas in it. Most around 30-60 seconds in length. This is an extremely convenient way to organize your ideas. So when the mood takes me I open the project and listen to the ideas to see if anything sparks at the moment. Or, if I am working on a song and need something I will often go and check that project to see if one of them would fit. It's almost like I use the Project page as a container for musical lego pieces. 😁
Love the Project page! Once I've added a song to a project I always add "Update the Master File" when I save any changes to the mix in the song file. Love it. So easy.
Joe! If you don't quit talking down "Waterfall" in the spectrum meter, their gonna get rid of it...and I'm one of the "oddballs" that use it constantly for metering. It's almost the only one I use. It actually is a VERY good tool! You can “see” the signal, cymbal hits, bass, lead guitar lines, and where they are on the scale (that alone is a great ear training tool) and how hot the signal is. It’s a GREAT tool. Love you guys!
Joe great video.... Can you spend some time on a video in this page with relation to the levels and balancing between song to song... Which meter to use and how to go about making the adjustments??? Please and thank you.
Joe, we rarely see an in depth show on the Project Page. You know, The desert phase? All the cool editing and clean intro and song ends/fades. I think I’m not the only one of your excellent followers that still burn CD’s, lol.
@@officialWWM Compact disk- it’s an optical media for storing music/audio. It is the replacement for compact cassettes that were to replace vinyl records.
I see you only used the Master section where you put your limiter. I haven't used that section at all. Instead, I use the Post section below it, and in there, I put my "analyzer" plugins, like SPAN, the Waves WLM loudness, and also the ADPTR Metric A/B, which has 6 functions, plus the ability to download 15-16 reference tracks. Instead of a limiter, I use the Mixtool in each song, to adjust the loudness level to -14 LUFS "post", as I also like to double-check loudness with 2-3 different sources. I do like that Loudness check you used, and then just adjust the Mixtool. Thanks! I think the Project Page is the best module they have.
i do a lot of slicing and dicing and have always shied away from automating the volume slider.... until recently when it realized that that is where volume automation SHOULD happen nearly all the time, but this seems like a great way to get things more even, as you mentioned. i'll definitely be trying it. thanks!
Joe, I am making videos for UA-cam, and I import a video first, second from an SD card. I import the audio and that I match them. After that, I mix them down and it’s ready to go to the master (project) process. My question is once I have the project all completely mastered, is there a way now to bring the video into the master for a final file?
Can I use YouLean Loudness Meter in Studio One and should it go in the Main Fader? Also can I use LoudMax 64 and does that go in the Listen Bus? I'm trying to bring my Mix up to -14 LUFS. Thanks in advance...
Can you make a video on arranging the songs with in the project page? I love the project page and have been using it for a couple of years and I still have no idea on how to move songs, work with timing in-between, and blend starts and finishes. Seems like it has a mind of its own.
When you update a Project Page Session by clicking the red wrench icon and Studio One creates a Mixdown version of the updated Mix. Does it bypass all of the Plugins on the Stereo Out Bus, or is the Limiter you had on the Stereo Buss included into the Mixdown that gets created for the Projects Page updated version of the song? Like how does that work?
Stem mastering and unity gain is 2 feature am looking for too inside the project page. Stem Mastering can only be done in the song page which requires creating another song.
in the video it shows a song mixed to the project page at 30+ times the actual speed. When I do it, the song mixes down to the project page in realtime. Am I missing something?
My frustration with importing direct from my Song Page was the program defaults to 5 minutes at the start of my Song. I record 30 minute performances with 5 - 6 songs and only want to master one of them. The solution is to use START and END markers for those clips or export a mix down.
Given that the Song Page updates the export in the Project Page, why would you want effects on individual songs in the Project Page? I understand the need for project level effects, but shouldn't song level effects be done on the Song Page so that the versions are the same?
I do the prep on the Project page but find using an AI to check and see how close my finished product turned out. I can then return to the project page and make adjustments to complete mastering the project. To each his own but Studio One is brilliant overall.
Tough crowd in the comments so far. But we newbys can use a little nudge to venture into the Project Page. I’m peeking my nose over the mastering fence just now. I think I can do a crude job of dialing in the LIFS spec. But I just took my latest mix to a mastering engineer in town, who let me sit with him while he brought new life into an already pretty good mix. He worked a number of magic tricks that brought out individual instruments, using some tightly targeted plugins I’ve never heard of - working in Pro Tools. I’ll never be able to do that, even if I can set a loudness level for streaming. So what is mastering for, exactly? Depends on your needs.
"How Mastering Works in Studio One" "How to use the Project Page in Studio One" "Mastering in Studio One with the Project Page" Why always make the same video every year?
PRESONUS color matching in Studio One really needs to be improved. The FOREGROUND vs BACKGROUND color in 30%+ cases sucks. White on light blue, dark gray on black ? Are you kidding me ? How about a CONTRAST ???
Studio One and the Project Page are amazing. However, the True Peak metering is not accurate and needs fixing. When I use a high end True Peak Limiter and Metering plugin and set the True Peak to -0.1dB on my Limiter, Studio One indicates clipping on its True Peak metering. This is incorrect and can be misleading.
This is working properly. No limiter can prevent inter-sample peaking. That's why a lot of mastering engineers (myself included) recommend setting the ceiling at -1 dB. The behavior you're experiencing is expected, if you're going to set your ceiling that high.
@HomeStudioCorner HI Joe, I understand the theory behind intersample peaks but my point is a 3rd party plug-in meter shows I am not peaking yet Studio One says that I am.

I feel we lose when we completely get rid of CD's. I still buy CD's and some LP's, but yes, I stream too.
I burn CDs too 😂
What’s a CD? 🤔

Guys, how can I put level meter into the gui like on this example? Is it possible on Artist version or only pro?
I love the project page! Another great feature of the best DAW on earth! Thank you very much!
This is actually really neat.

Check out the creative sauce guy, he does a lot of good stuff on studio one,5 including project page😅

Very clever stuff. Thanks.
Hello! how do i tell to update the project file of the project page to be offline and not real time? i don't i see the option! thanks!

Sandboxing VST plugs like Bitiwg would be a fantastic addition to an already fantastic DAW.

Nice video, as always. It seems the project page is NOT available in Studio One version 5. Correct? Looks like a cool feature
It's available in all Studio One Pro versions, but not Artist.
Thanks for replying. I feel an upgrade coming on 😁

Thanks for sharing this! 👍
How do you bring in reference tracks into project page
Well said dude! 10:25
i master one song at a time - this is a great post processing environment
I do the same and the Project Page is brilliant for this work flow 👍
I do the prep on the Project page but find using an AI to check and see how close my finished product turned out. I can then return to the project page and make adjustments to complete mastering the project. To each his own but Studio One is brilliant overall.
I have the artist version but I don’t have this template
Yes Sir, I live here around Nashville and I will want to meet with you
I hope you talk about bringing in reference tracks into project page….
man, how do you open your project so fast? Mine usually take at least five minutes to open.
amazing🤯
Project page is great except for lack of having facility to use reference tracks and some naming protocols. Flipping between song and project is neat.
10.7, It is 10.7 seconds if you are rounding. The rendered time was 10.664, so if rounding to the tens place, this would be 10 point 7 seconds.
When will we have AI in Studio One and its plugins?
I've been making music for years and have mostly taught myself production, asking for help when I get stuck.
How does Logic Pro get stem splitters before Studio S1 One? 🤔 smh
Awesome!
I need to upgrade my computer, it takes at least 2min to update a 3min song :/
Very good info. "Tangent over"....lol.
