Why Studio One? Top 5 Reasons

See you there!

"And if you didnt like the video hit the dislike button twice" - pure genius.

I didn't know that tap tempo had been added to the console. I bought an atom pad when they came out and use that for tap tempo. Nothing worse than strumming a progression out on the guitar and then having to guess your BPM.

My favourite thing about S1 is the integration between hardware and software. I use a 192 studio and a faderport for most of my recording and mixing. Where the faderport has issues with things like adding an Fx to a channel I use the studio one remote app.

Just getting used to STUDIO ONE, I'm a beginner in production and really like how easy everything works on it... And it is so beautiful....!!!

I just started with Studio One, moving over from Cakewalk. I just bought a Native Instruments S61 and in Cakewalk I might as well have had a regular MIDI controller, most of the features of the keyboard didn't work. Plus, and it might just be me or my setup, Cakewalk never seemed to remember settings, setups etc so I spent half of my time reconfiguring it instead of recording. So I picked up Studio One, installed it, turned on my hardware, opened S1 and lo and behold it saw everything without me touching a single setting. It's easy to move between soft synth tracks, every feature of my S61 works great and I'm a happy camper and will be watching all of Mike's videos on S1! Thanks!

I tested so many DAWs between 2 and 3 years ago, when i first got into DAWs. Studio One came out on top for me. My number one reason is that it's pretty straight forward to get around and do what you need to do. Couple that with it's amazing out of the box plugins and instruments and you can't go wrong. I have to admit that I have a soft spot for Reaper and CakeWalk but for everyday usage, it has to be S1.

I learned on PT Le 8, wanted to upgrade but Avid’s licensing is not customer friendly in my opinion so I tried Reaper, Cakewalk and S1. They all work great but S1 had the most familiar workflow. I really like the drum mapping and beat editing, it’s like they took the best features from all the competitors and put it in one well thought out package. I haven’t used the VCAs yet because I wasn’t too sure how they worked. I’m glad you included that and explained it further. Thanks for the quality content!

There are a lot, but I think my favorite is how the routing is solved. You can do whatever you want without having to create complicated return tracks. Take a signal. Split it at 250 Hz. Parallel compress the lower part and slap some EQ on there. Split the upper singal again above 10k. transfer to M/S mode. Add an EQ specifically on everything bove 5k. Add a little stereo widening. Convert the signal back to stereo. Mix all the signals back together. And have a nice and easy graph for that! You didn't have to create even a single additional track or channel. That is just soooo wonderfully powerful and nicely done.

Just stumbled over this, you can tell instantly that this guy’s a real pro. No bs or nonsense and just straight down to business

[edwardmarion]

You are the man. Finally, someone told me how to add an instrument (using Presence.) I am anxious to watch all of your Studio One videos. Thank you!

[SherrillDarby]

I use Presonus Sphere and although it is probably a small thing, I love the ability to drag an instrument, fx chain, or effects and have Studio One create a new track. I have found this much more intuittive to use rather than the usual way in other DAWs

[brucesindahl]

I just started home recording less than a year ago. Someone told me about Audacity, which I have used mainly for editing. Then a friend told me about CakeWalk, so I learned more about plug-ins, and by watching your videos on compression, eq, etc., I made a pretty descent song. Now, another friend told me about Studio One, which appears to be even better than any of the above. I have the Pro version just now installed. Thanks for the intro., moving on to your beginner videos. Thanks for being there... your presentation is world class. Cheers, Bruce from Boulder, CO

[davidvicars]

I use both Cakewalk and Studio one, so glad I found your channel

[billykellum]

I’m a long time Cakewalk user (1992) but recently added Studio One Pro (3, 3.5, 4, 4.6) back in 2017 when Gibson dropped the brand. I still use Cakewalk by BandLab as my main DAW, but have really been enjoying Studio One ever since the version 4 upgrade. Version 4.6 is even better. Cakewalk and Studio One 4.6 Pro will be my go to DAWS for 2020. Thanks for the video.

[thebittermass]

I did it! I took the plunge and bought studio 1 pro version 5.
Now the long slog of learning it all!

[MarcRead]

I've been using studio one for the last few weeks. I am enjoying it. Everything seems to be easier to do when compared to Cakewalk and the interface is a dream to work in. I'm using artist 4 with the vst add-on.

[ProAudioLessons]

I personally love the Melodyne integration!

[guitarzan]

I like because of all the reasons stated by you. Also, I really like the general ease of workflow and intuitive way it works. It's really stable also. I have also been a Cakewalk user since early 2000's and got into Studio one when Gibson dropped Sonar. (I was a Sonar Platnum user....paid for lifetime updates too ) Picked up Studio One Professional during Black Friday sales in 2017. I like both DAWS. Calewalk is like an old friend. Your videos are great and very informative.

[damiansmith]

I love the audio editing feature ARA2 "open with Melodyne", or with Vocalign, been a Studio one user since 2016, before that with FL Studio, Studio One really does it for audio editing

Hey Mike,
Thanks for a great introduction video. I've been using Studio One 5 Artist for about three years now and am going to upgrade to 6 Pro shortly. I appreciate your concise overview of the product.

Studio one is awesome never seen a better DAW

[davedeanovic]

Definitely my favorite since I first received it 6 years now. I’ve looked and bought others and they don’t compare. Thanks for your time - GO STUDIO ONE ☝️
