I am a fan of Joe Glider. I am on my journey with transitioning from Logic Pro for 13 years to studio one. printing my tracks in Logic is something i use often with mutlti out instruments. I thought i was screwed and unable to do it in studio one. literally trying to figure out how to bounce between the 2 daws to achieve 1 step. thanks Joe you're brilliant man! Still perplexed with simple things in Studio One but I'll surely find your videos in my quest.

Hi I love you videos, very motivational and informative. I have been using that technique in studio one 3 since I started printing to audio back in January. The only difference between your way and mine is that I would instead create an extra bus channel and call it DUMMY. I would then route my mix bus to the “dummy bus” and mute it. That way I wouldn’t have the duplicated signals going to the main out. I’m gonna start using your “nowhere” setting. I think that works great. I started printing my tracks to audio for 2 reason. 1. I was contemplating about doing some analog summing, so to get use to the idea of summing to a 2 track I started doing digital summing to see how I like it. That technique is what I found worked best. 2. I was having trouble exporting my songs without going through the mastering project page. Every time I exported a song directly from the song page it wouldn’t sound right, it would just throw everything out of phase. No one in presonus could help figure it out. So I just accepted that and bounce everything to the mastering page and export from there. But that was just too much work sometimes, especially when I am not mastering the song. That not only gave me back the ability to export from the song page, it also drastically improved my rendering time by almost 500%.

This is what I’ve always done since getting into audio. I learned this technique from my mentor. He calls this track “RTD” for “record to disk.” Its a great method.

Thanks for this, Joe. I'm a PT operator of 18 years, recently taking on S1 clients so you feel my pain haha

Hey Joe this is a huge help because i have an Apollo interface and I can quickly run out of DSP power when mixing. Now when I like what i'm hearing with all the plugins, i can just print and commit and free up DSP for something else. Excellent work, love it!

2:26 that "new" feature of moving FX with Alt+drag was existed loooong time ago in REAPER. 😁✌

Thanks for getting this up fast and showing us Joe. I was trying to figure it out and wasn't even close.

[luisdomingodiaz]

I saw this in one of your other videos and was wondering how to set this up for my mixes. Thank You!!

[nsza]

Great! Now, is there a way to set the default output to MIXBUS on new FX channels?

[RogerRFontaine]

I've come from garagrband and was used to the easy zoom and drag phrase around. On studio one I've discovered the option key as command key using left or right arrow. Wjere is zoom shortcut from within a frame/phrase.?

Very cool Joe. I tried this, and it worked very well.... (thumbs up)

Joe, this is awesome but can you add to this the associated mechanics for the play back of the track that you recorded, solo specific tracks from the original and/play the original and not the recorded overall song track. I did this setup but I can't get my studio one to work the same way yours appears to be doing when in your other videos you do the playback of the recorded track. Mine is louder, as you described here, and I can't solo the original tracks or overall song without it getting louder so what I get is the recorded track or nothing. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I am not sure what it is. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Great info I'm going try this with my songs

This is a great idea and it works. I'm writing to address a compressor idea in an earlier video which no longer seems to work. In an earlier video regarding mixing you suggested using a single band compressor on the Main Out followed by a multiband comp., both at -20dB threshold because the Main Out was set at K-20 and audio over -20 would trigger the compressors. I notice neither compressor was on the Main Out or Mix Bus here (Fat Channel instead) but in any event the Mix Bus does not use K-20 as I understand it, so the mixing tip focused on -20dB as the compressor trigger would no longer seem to work if you're printing a track. Can you comment on that? Thanks.

[mrslickbeats]

great video! been so helpful, but we can now select tracks as inputs in studio one to record, so no need for this work around anymore!

[brentdeady]

Joe you are the man. Great idea and workflow! Though I am having an issue for some reason. I'm a new to mixing and recording and new S1 user. I seem to think (key word THINK) I've followed your instructions but when I try to solo a instrument bus or individual track I can't hear any audio. The only way I can seem to get it to work is to solo safe the "print" track. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?? Thanks!

In Logic Pro X it's a tad simpler? Bounce the project to a file, check the box "Include in project", after completed open the media browser and drag the new audio file to a blank space. Creates a new track with the audio.

[bubinga_basher]

Ok, so if I wanted to play an instrument along with a song, the “Red” mix is what I’d be playing along to. I can just drag a wave file into this template to get the song there?

[Thasolracx]

Great video man thank you I've been confused as to that. Thank you so much

[justlisa]

This is a great idea, Joe!
On the Studio One boards, I've read a few people have been having trouble getting mixdowns to print automation correctly. Printing and being able to listen at the same time would save a lot of effort and headaches, I think.
I couldn't figure out what other people were trying to describe as a potential solution -- which is what you've done here.
Is it okay if I post a link to your video the next time the subject comes up?
Thanks.
