"You smell what I'm stepping in"?😂😂😂 Not only are your videos extremely informative, but the comedic elements involved really increases the bang for the. Please keep up the great work!!!

Hey, Joe, I've already been using all these (probably learned from Gregor!). I have one additional one I use almost every day: HISTORY. I have that mapped to (on PC) Alt+End. Has saved my neck and everything else numerous times. It helps me see what I've actually done and cuts time from doing Ctrl+Z over and over and over.

Literally all 5 of these were new to me, I'm now using them all. Thank you!

Number 4 I did not know about, and is something I've always wanted!! And it's been right there the whole time??! Thank you!!

Hi Joe greetings from Dublin Ireland.. big fan of your posts .. quick question on the project page when I’m mastering not all of my plug-ins are showing on the list . Can I access plug in manager from the project page ? I’m sure it’s possible just can’t seem to find it .. cheers

[ChristineNavarromusic]

That checkbox for saving external files... dude! So important! I'm learning how much I don't know about file management today... thankfully, session still successful.

Только сейчас всерьез вцепился в ваши видео. Очень много полезного. Спасибо.

Good Stuff. Always informative and always funny. You are the master of helping remember stuff because you make it so funny.

When I finally explored the plug in manager and hid things like the component and VST instances of certain collections, so I just saw the VST3s and didn’t have 3 of each in the browser. Man that cleaned things up.

Thank you for this video, I was doing everything the hard way and it was taking forever. Plus I was trying to make loops on my Akai Mini and to me as a noob, it's been a pain in the butt .

[Soundboy]

Damn I needed all of these tips especially the first 2 👍 thanks

Oh, my…undo - is most greatest feature that I’ve seen! Hopes, another DAW’s realize that super-mighty feature!👻

Hello, Somehow my studio one files are now imaging devices files and I cant open them in studio one. Does anyone know how to restore the files back to studio one files please

[cjheringer]

Hey Joe! I love your videos. Thanks! I'm new to PreSonus and would like to also know some more basic things on the hardware side of things, like setting up Mics, Which mic to use, and one that I'm even embarrassed to say. . . How do I make the guitar and vocals play in my headphones while recording drums? I.E. I have vocals and guitar recorded, now I want to layer /add drums and listen to the guitar and vocals while recording the drums. Any advise or help you could give on this?

Hi Joe I’ve been watching u since I started using studio 1 in 2019 and I have learned so much 👏👏luv what u do. I hope u can help me out with a problem I’m having, I’ve been sending songs to my bro for years but recently when I send a track he is not receiving any piano/ synth tracks.. ie missing files at his end. Do u have any ideas that I can do to solve this problem. Thanks Scott

[jloiben]

Ask to copy external files is a great setting. It isn’t default but I don’t know why

[LiveFromPFD]

Great list!
Would be stellar if auto save was only triggered *IF* something changed 😅

Nothing like walking away from Studio One overnight and having a ton of auto saves to wade through when restoring an older version.

[crizfms]

Would you turn on used cashes plug-in data on save????

[JimSanto]

pre-record a full minute before the punch? amazing! is there a performance hit, or is storage the only consideration?
