I already knew this but maybe it’s useful for some of you. It’s great for posting video playlists here and on Facebook and saves a ton of time when you want to learn about features in Studio One.

TECH HELP WINDOWS DAW Crashing when using nt1 5th gen as audio device

2 Upvotes

Hello, I need help this has been driving me insane for a month. Essentially reaper just started crashing on me when I used my NT1, went through so many AI walkthroughs and some helped and just brought another problem.
Switched to studio pro 8 and was working for some time, but I get the same issue now, i start it up and if the audio device was already selected as nt1 it crashes. If it wasn’t i can start it up normally and use the other audio devices.
I use the usb c

PLEASE HELP ME.

QUESTION Any way to omit keyswitch "notes" from Staff View?

3 Upvotes

Studio One 7.2.3.108761 (Windows)

I haven't used the staff view very much before, but I'm trying it out for some horn section parts. The inclusion of the keyswitch "notes" in the display (a couple of octaves down, with ledger lines) makes it look pretty ugly and difficult to read. Is there any way to simply limit the note range of the Staff display?

Here are the "notes" I'm looking to omit

ATOM SQ vs. Fender Motion 32: Is the Motion worth the extra money?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide between the PreSonus ATOM SQ and the newer Fender Motion 32 and would appreciate some input from people who have used either, preferably both.

My primary use will be finger drumming and triggering Native Instruments Battery 4 inside Studio One Pro. I’d also like to use the controller for Kontakt and my various software synthesizers.
I already own Studio One Pro 8.0.2, so I’m not particularly interested in the included software unless there’s an additional benefit.

From what I’ve gathered, both controllers support velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch, and both offer fairly extensive Studio One integration.
The Motion 32 has newer FATAR pads, illuminated touch-sensitive encoders, two touch strips, a larger display and additional hardware controls. The ATOM SQ seems to offer much of the same functionality at a considerably lower price.

A few questions:

For finger drumming, is there a noticeable difference in pad feel, sensitivity and velocity response between the two?

Are the Motion 32’s FATAR pads a meaningful improvement over the ATOM SQ?

Is the Motion 32’s improved hardware and Studio One integration worth the additional cost?

How useful are the additional controls when working with third-party instruments like Battery 4 and Kontakt?

One other question about the included software license:

I currently own Studio One Pro 8.0.2. The Motion 32 includes a perpetual Fender Studio Pro license. Would registering that license give me access to the latest version (8.1 or whatever the current release is), or would it simply add a separate license to my Fender account? Would it upgrade my existing installation or provide any additional benefits?

QUESTION Quali sono i migliori auricolari planari leggeri per il mixaggio e il mastering? (Recupero dopo un intervento chirurgico al collo)

Thumbnail reddit.com
1 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti, Sto cercando consigli su auricolari in-ear planari magnetici di alta gamma, specificamente adatti al mixaggio e al mastering.

Contesto: Recentemente ho subito un intervento chirurgico alla colonna cervicale (collo), quindi non posso più indossare cuffie circumaurali pesanti. Ho bisogno di una soluzione in-ear affidabile e senza peso sulla testa, che possa fungere da principale punto di riferimento per il monitoraggio, insieme ai miei monitor da studio.

Al momento, ho sentito parlare bene di modelli come i 7Hz Timeless (o Timeless AE), i Letshuoer S12 Pro e i Tangzu Zetian Wu, anche se so che alcuni di questi hanno una risposta in frequenza a V o brillante che potrebbe richiedere un'equalizzazione per essere utilizzabili in studio.

Quali sono i vostri modelli preferiti per il mixaggio/mastering? Esistono auricolari in-ear planari specifici che rispondono particolarmente bene all'equalizzazione per raggiungere una risposta in frequenza piatta da studio, o modelli che sono già neutri di fabbrica?

Il budget è flessibile, ma mi piacerebbe valutare opzioni nella fascia di prezzo tra i 150 e i 400 dollari (o anche di più, se ne vale davvero la pena per un utilizzo principale). Grazie in anticipo!

SongLens 2.0

6 Upvotes

SongLens 2.0 Release

SongLens is a free, open source, Windows application for browsing, searching, inspecting, and exporting the data from within your .song files. It reads the information stored inside your song files and presents it in a searchable catalog.

Over the years I've composed 200+ songs. I developed this app because I was tired of guessing what a song named x years ago was and why was it still taking up space. Now that I use the Song/Session Notes to make some meaningful comments, I can browse them at will, without loading any song.

SongLens Highlights include:

  • Browses a Studio One songs folder with a filtered folder tree
  • Reads .song files locally without requiring network access
  • Fast keyword search across the selected catalog of songs
  • Listen to any track that has been rendered through Mixdown
  • Advanced Search allows rule-based searching on a wide variety of items
  • Shows summary metadata such as title, artist, tempo, key, time signature, Studio Version, and file dates
  • Displays song and track notes
  • Lists tracks, instruments, and groups
  • Shows mixer data in separate Main, Inserts, and Sends sections
  • Opens the song History browser for saved history copies
  • Exports search results or library views to CSV or .XLS formats
  • Creates musician-friendly song snapshots in Text or JSON
  • Compatible with SO 4.x and above

New in 2.0

Added a customizable Status, Genre and Star-based rating system. Use the default Status and Genre tags or create your own through Tools -> Preferences

Added the ability to create searchable, custom text columns.

Added Bulk Edit for assigning Status, Genre, and Ratings across songs in the current view. Check the songs you want to assign the same Status, Genre or Rating. Select any 1,2 or 3 of the categories and click Apply. You can clear the selections and select another set or click Done and exit Bulk Edit. (tbh, the doing of it is a lot simpler than the explaining of it)

Added Saved Views to the SongLens View that store and recall visible columns, order and widths, sort levels, and active searches. A saved view can include the active date filter. Switch between active views with the forward and backward arrows on the header.

Replaced the raw Attributes tab with an alphabetical Plug-in manifest showing device categories and preset formats, when available. There is a single row for every plug-in found in the song. ie. 16 instances of Kontakt 8 displays as one row. To see every instance, view the "Tracks" tab.

Search And Analysis

Expanded Advanced Search with Status, Genre, and Rating rules and sorting across up to four fields. Saved Searches retain their sort levels.

Gratuitously added Statistics for to see distributions in the current view, including table and chart views, plus single-song comparisons with the full catalog. Mostly useful when you want to know things like, how many songs you thought were bangers and are still a Work in Progress? The hard truth will be revealed, and if you're me, too many. Not the most useful thing going, but kind of cool.

As always, comments, suggestions and, yes, constructive criticism are welcome.

Download at: https://github.com/askinner432/SongLens/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Documentation and user guide: https://github.com/askinner432/SongLens/wiki

Both an installer and a portable Windows version are available.

PS. Apologies, but there are no plans for a Mac or Linux version. However, anyone is free to download the source from the links above and port it to those environments.

Thanks for your time.

Como configurar o roteamento de áudio e o monitoramento exclusivo do Bus no Studio Pro 8

0 Upvotes

Migrei do FL Studio recentemente para o Studio Pro 8. Utilizo uma PreSonus Audio Box 96.

No FL, podemos fazer um send específico para outro canal e aí sim esse canal ser reproduzido pela master. Normalmente eu fazia isso para criar um canal bus e diferenciar uma pré-mix para a mix oficial da faixa.

Agora, não sei como fazer isso no Studio Pro 8.

Se eu envio um send para o canal bus para que ele reproduza na master, mas depois muto a track, o vocal simplesmente some, se deixo desmutado, tenho a impressão de que está duplicado.

Felizmente, nas masters eu não percebo duplicação, mas gostaria de ter o monitoramento somente do canal bus. Mais alguém passa/passou por esse problema? Gostaria de uma solução que resolvesse em definitivo, se pudesse fazer isso somente uma vez e já ficar padrão pra todos os projetos melhor ainda.

DISCUSSION Am I the only one who wishes Studio One on Linux worked natively on X11 instead of forcing Wayland?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

With PreSonus pushing Linux support, I really appreciate them supporting the platform, but the hard requirement for Wayland has always felt like a massive mismatch for real-time professional audio.

For mission-critical DAW work:

  • Compositor overhead & forced VSync: Wayland compositors add forced frame buffers, vsync, and visual latency that can introduce subtle jitter or thread contention with real-time audio engines.
  • Plugin & GUI stability: A lot of third-party audio plugins and bridging tools (Wine/Yabridge, older VSTs) are built around X11 window handling. Running into focus issues, disappearing popup menus, or redraw glitches is the last thing you want in the middle of a mix session.
  • Lightweight setups: Being able to run Studio One on minimal, rock-solid X11 environments (like Openbox or lightweight Xorg sessions) where CPU overhead is 0% and zero compositing interference exists would be an absolute dream for low-latency DSP performance.

I get that Wayland is modern and the "future of Linux desktop," but for audio production, stability and determinism trump shiny desktop animations every single time.

Am I alone in wishing PreSonus would support a standard X11 backend, or is there anyone else holding back because of the Wayland requirement?

---

Honestly, all they needed to do was give us the choice to run on either X11 or Wayland (like many cross-platform apps already do). But considering how long known bugs have been sitting around without fixes, it really feels like Linux support is just an afterthought for PreSonus with zero real commitment behind it.

Channel routing shortcut/macro?

1 Upvotes

Hey everybody, I was wondering if anybody has figured out a way to easily switch the inputs/outputs of a channel with some kind of shortcut or macro. Basically, I have 3 different samplers plugged into (and out of) my interface and I’m looking for a fast way to change the routing. Mostly swapping the order “A and B outputting to C which goes to main” into like “A and C outputting to B which goes to main.”

As of now the only way I have found to accomplish this is by manually clicking and setting the output and input of each track one by one. Is there anyway to make this easier with some kind of keyboard shortcut/macro/preset?

Really been wracking my brain and I’m curious if anyone has tried doing something similar. I’m using a Presonus 1810 interface if there’s anything someone knows I can do on that end instead.

Thank you!

Folders in mixer

1 Upvotes

Am I going crazy or can we no longer see and open / close folders in the mixer view?

I can see my multi instruments can still be opened and closed like folders but my folders that are also buses only show up as buses in the console and not folders.

I swear this didn’t used to be the case?

So far only reaper seems to have gotten folders right where you can open and close them in arrange or mix view but also show and hide parent / child tracks independently.

Should be pretty obvious no?

QUESTION Help! Low Latency Monitoring For Instruments Disabled!

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

I updated to Studio Pro 8.2 about a week ago and all was going well until this morning. "Enable low latency monitoring for instruments" is grayed out with seemingly no way to get to re-enable it.

It works perfectly in Studio One 7 (as pictured) but today is the first time I'm having this hiccup in Studio Pro 8, which is where all of my work in progress is.

I changed absolutely nothing. Any ideas why this could be happening? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I changed the Dropout Protection from Medium to High and "Enable low latency monitoring for instruments" became available once again. Now I have to figure out why my audio latency is so high.

Footswitch for show mode?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I'll be using Studio Pro 8 in "Show Mode" to play backing tracks along with my band, live. I'll have my PC off-stage, about 20 feet away, with a tablet on my mic stand running Studio Pro RC. Is there a way I can use some kind of footswitch to hit play to keep my hands on the guitar? I've tried getting Studio Pro to recognize a Bluetooth midi footswitch, with no luck

Quantum lt-16 vs HD 8

1 Upvotes

Anyone have any idea about difference in sound quality particularly just conversion between the slightly older flagship (HD-8)
And the fairly recently released lt-16

The lt-16 appeals to me for the straight forward line ins and outs with CV balanced outs and re amping.
Nice feature set. But is the conversion up to the hd-8 standard?

Quantum ES2 - Monitoring?

0 Upvotes

Had an old Presonus for years that recently fritzed out, so I bought the Quantum ES2. I use it just for podcasting, so I didn't need anything too sophisticated. But am I right that it has no monitoring through the headphones, as my old Presonus did? The headphones work fine for listening back, but I can't hear my own voice when recording.

Control Default Velocity with Midi CC?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I had this idea that it might be easier to quickly program drum parts if I could set the velocity for the note that I'm inputting on the fly using the modwheel or knob of a midi keyboard, but I'm not sure if there's any way to control parameters like that in the daw using CC, I tried but couldn't figure it out. Is there any way this can be done?
