Learning to print effects will make you a better engineer/producer than saving it all for later. The best part is you can record the same performance on 2 tracks at once - one with effects and one dry. (Simple record enable to tracks from the same input and record simultaneously.) That way if the printed effects track isn't working later on, you still have a raw back-up to "save the day". I always record as if I have limited tracks and effects to work with. Those limitations are indeed a strength. Unlimited possibilities can be overwhelming in a way that limited possibilities won't be. In the end, they're both different skill sets to learn and use and you'll be a better engineer/producer for going deep into both approaches. This is a super important video for anyone working in the modern world of DAWs. Thank you Joe for a fantastic video (as always!)!

Joe, I am not sure if you realize, what a great step PreSonus took by asking you to do these tutorials. I want to congratulate you and thank you for the way you explain things in a very clear manner for an average user. You have a great teaching gift. I can't wait for your videos. I learn so much from them and this positive attitude and energy. PreSonus well done! Joe excellent job you are doing to the Studio One community. I personally appreciate it very much.

Another benefit is saving CPU processing during playback and mixdown. Many plug-ins like basic compression and EQ get set once on a drum set and rarely change during a session. Save your plug-in processing power for more creative uses.

This is one thing I love about Studio One. I have a noisy home and putting a gate on the input saves me a lot of editing later.

This is really engineering I would say. Creating the vibe going in instead og trying to make it happen in the mixing stage. My recordings improved tremendously when I understood this, and started implementing it in my own productions. Makes recording more exciting too.

I do this on every track. Everything for me goes through the slate virtual channel and new York preamp on the input section. I love this feature.

[zekebeckman]

I love this!
It's exactly the same with having a hardware synth instead of a software synth. With the software, you'll tweak for ever and ever. Hardware is like "yup this sounds sick let's track it" and then you have to live with it.

You explain things so well and you never ask for money

[musiciana]

Pro Tools: If you want to record the effects you create an aux channel, you put the effects on that, then you create an audio channel, set the input to a bus number, set the aux channel to that same bus number.

Studio One: Put the plugins on the input.

Oh, you're right, this is so ancient, been recording vocals like this using a gate and sometimes a compressor. But I also love recording vocals directly with autotune like this. I even think it is the best way to record an autotuned vocal. As long as one knows the exact key, this is the best way to get the best autotuned vocal.

Nice video on this topic also because I had forgotten that plugins on the input was possible because I never used the input view.
Best of both worlds:
1 track recorded with plugins
The second track recorded simultaneously with the same hardware input as track 1 without plugins. Afterwards you can play with it so you never finish your project 😀

It took me a little bit of time to realize the actual mechanism you're using. It's simple, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me. So, for future readers (and future me when I forget this), the trick here is putting the plugins into the insert rows on the input strip itself. So it's the input to the audio track you're recording to. Simple, and effective. And I do agree with the spirit of recording live tracks like this. Part of the fun of playing live is the danger!

This my exact recording practice. I record vocals with antelope audio Zen Go, through the processors, pre amp, compressor, expander and sometimes Auto tune synergy core and tape emulation. I like the results I get.

Beginning and intermediate level users would be shocked how often Grammy nominated/winning engineers print effects. When they hear what it should sound like they go with it. It ends up being more organic, human, imperfect, and interesting. I was surprised.

[Coda]

Effect sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing the settings

In my case, I’m the songwriter, the singer, the instrumentalist and the engineer. I have been using an Avalon VT 737 channel strip hardware for many years. The Avalon has great preamps that provide a nice strong vocal or acoustic guitar signal. What I notice now is the compression is NOT triggering quick enough usually on the initial vocal signal, so it allows a slight amount of clipping which is obviously unwanted. If it needs to be repaired that would be more than the $99 UA Avalon VT 737 plug-in. If it duplicates the hardware results, I’m all in. 
I would never add reverb, echo or other effects that are written to the track. If I have a track that clips then I have to sing it again anyway.
In the mean time I’ll use Fat Channel and other Presonus std plugins to get started. Great video, thanks

[DanMarcelino]

Lol I’ve been using studio one for yearrrsss and I didn’t even know we could do this 😂👍🏼 I love it!! I always use analogue gear here in the studio, but I find my clients and in my own projects, we are using more amp sims etc.. I like printing effects and certain tones not just because of the fact that you live with it and move on, but also it saves a lot of processing power later when mixing 👌🏼👌🏼

[RoxRolzProductions]

Why would anyone give you a "Thumbs Down"? Love your insights, thanks a bunch.

[thebrokencymbal]

I love this feature!
I use it every week recording my church’s livestream.
Any zero latency plug ins; Fabfilter, Waves, Plug-in Alliance..
It’s fun to commit.

The one thing i dislike about digital. I record this way on purpose especially backing tracks . Thanks for the confirmation Joe!
