Been mixing for years but fixing "manually" though, the last few minutes of this vid will save me the most time

This is very helpful. Thank you Joe. Efficiency is very important to me. Since I don’t have that much time on my hand to make music my studio is set up to be record ready within 1-2 minutes usually for spontaneous sessions. When I plan ahead for a longer session I even set everything up the night before so I am ready in under a minute. Saves much time and especially nerves.

love it Joe! Glad you got the gig, natural choice ... also, Shift Option will give you a magnifying glass to capture view you want, very helpful for those graphic folks coming from Adobe products, etc ...

On the topic of zooming in and out, you can zoom horizontally with "W" and "E" and vertically with "Shift+W" and "Shift+E"

Hi there Joe ! Thanks for the best video tutorial I have so far watched on Studio One. It's really helping me as a newbie to this DAW !
Time saving is really great and leaving time for creating and recording more music in less time. Best Regards . . . Eddie ( a UK Musician ).

This is Hooping Joe - you are SUPER Hooping right

[ThiagoCamposOfficial]

Not sure if there's a way to do this, I tried with no luck: It would be cool to drag and drop time signatures to copy them. I intuitively held ALT (option) and tried to drag a time signature label to another measure and nothing happened. Would love to see that on an update, maybe pass it on to the Presonus team. Thanks, Joe, always great content!

On my mouse side buttons I have undo and redo.

Something I always wondered when I see pics of a guys home studio and the keyboard is physically away from the DAW...do you use a footswtich to start recording when your at the piano or maybe just a long count off before recording starts to get time to move over to the piano?

Wait! Pause... Take notes... Play... Listen, giggle with delight... Pause... Take more notes...! WASH, RINSE, REPEAT! BRILLIANT TIPS, I CANNOT BELIEVE THE Timestretch or WAV. nudging trick. 2 CLICKS & AN "X' ! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER, SIR! THANK YOU! 😉 💜 🍀 🎶

Not a single one I didn't know already - in fact, you left out some I use so much I am wearing the keys out (such as shift+L to zoom to the loop range, which is way more useful than alt+z, or shift+s to zoom in/out of the selected event). I guess after 5+ years on S1 I am officially a power user. ;) I also think that Studio One is one of the best designed pieces of software anywhere - even beyond DAWs. Its power/usability ratio is unmatched, IMHO... it is fast, streamlined, solid and so cleverly designed. I just love it.

TY JOE! So helpful. Btw, I just made B my keyboard shortcut for "Create Bus For Selected Tracks", cause B was an open key, so no more drop down for me

[peterbaird]

Coincidentally I was putting off editing some acoustic guitar tracks because I just couldn't face it, and then I saw your workflow at around 23:00 in. Snip, snip, slide, fade, done. Now that's a tip I'll use the heck out of. Gotta say it's pretty annoying working S1 on a newer MacBook Pro, though--PreSonus hasn't done anything for the Touch Bar, which means the Function keys require a press of the "fn" key before they appear, they just say F1, F2, etc., and the keyboard overlay obviously doesn't cover the Touch Bar. First World problem, I know.

Transitioning from PT to Studio one, and videos like these are making this so easy. Absolutely loved this!

[larryivymusic]

I do none of this and I feel like an idiot

[Joeman]

To zoom out full horizontal and vertical with one click I programmed a macro to do this.

-select all
-zoom to selection
-deselect all

[stephenfell]

Thank you joe for these tips some i didnt know great! &​easy

[richmillerofficial]

You can also right click on the timeline and select "Fit timeline to contents" and it will give you the global view you were looking for. There's no default shortcut key for this, but of course you can set one up.

I learned something today:
Boom. Boom... BOOM 😂👌

Happy new year, Joe
