Studio One 5 Feature Highlights
Check out our extended video “Everything You Need To Know About Studio One 5” to see these features demonstrated in detail.
Show Page
Performing with virtual instruments, plug-in racks, and backing tracks has become an integral part of contemporary live shows. Some DAWs make it easy to use virtual instruments, while other applications make it easy to incorporate plug-in effects racks. Just about any DAW can be used for playback of backing tracks, but no single application has provided a solution for all three... until now.
Studio One’s new Show Page lets you add backing tracks, virtual instruments, and plug-in racks for live musicians all from a single, intuitive interface that can easily receive content directly from any track on the Studio One Song Page.
So, by the time you’ve finished up your studio session in Studio One, you’re already more than halfway done with your stage production.
Score Editing
Based on the award-winning Notion composition and notation software, the new Score View lets you enter, view, and edit notes using standard notation. You can view multiple tracks simultaneously in a single Score View to work on voicing or use Score View to edit one track whileusing Piano View or Drum View to edit others. The Score View can be detached from the Arranger Window allowing you to view the same note data in different views.
Included with the Studio One Score View is a compact symbol set that lets you add trills, tremolos, arpeggios and glissandi, accents and staccato in addition to dynamics that affect playback in real-time. Grand staff for piano and harp is also included, with the ability to move notes between staves.
Clip Gain Envelopes
The newly-added Clip Gain Envelope is the perfect tool for correcting sections of audio that are either too loud or too soft, without adding a compressor or limiter plug-in. Add breakpoints to the Gain Envelope simply by clicking on the curve and dragging the point to your desired location or draw envelopes free-form using the Paint Tool. Changes to the clip gain are instantly reflected in the audio waveform so you have a reliable visual reference of the overall level. Furthermore, Clip Gain Envelopes are sample-accurate, so they can be used to fix everything from entire voiceover takes to single clicks and pops.
Clip Gain Envelopes are independent from event volume and fade. They’re even better because the Gain Envelope is clip-based, gain adjustments are automatically applied to all audio events and parts that use that same audio clip. So you only need to fix it once to fix it everywhere it’s used in your session.
Extended Mixer Scenes
Capture your entire console state and recall the entire mixer scenes or selectively recall Volume, Pan, Mute, Inserts, Sends, and more on any or every channel. Mixer Scenes are complete mixer snapshots and can be saved at any time and recalled in their entirety or
just filtered to only include volume, pan, mute, inserts, sends, Cue Mix settings, Input controls, or any combination thereof. Scenes can be recalled globally or limited to selected channels, and are automatically saved with the current song or your favourite song template.
Independent Listen Bus
A dedicated Listen Bus adds new flexibility to the Studio One® 5 console. Use the Listen Bus to provide a control room feed, independent of the main output, with its own level control, AFL/PFL solo, and insert slots for your favorite room calibration plug-ins. When enabled, all soloed signals can be routed to the Listen Bus, while the full mix can still be heard from the main mix output; cue mix sends remain unaffected. A dedicated AFL/PFL option lets you choose between monitoring soloed signals pre- or post-fader (and pan).
External MTC/MMC Sync
Studio One can now use the clock from external hardware devices via MIDI Timecode. Sync to external video. MIDI Timecode and MIDI Machine Control can be set independently to any available MIDI source and destination.
Marker Track Inspector
New in Version 5, the Marker Track now features a marker list inside the Track Inspector that lets you navigate, rename, add, and delete markers in one convenient location.
