Studio One V2 Details

[dgkenney]

This probably old news to everyone but I found out how to "record" multiple outs from Superior Drums to S1/2. I was trying to add audio tracks and use the outs of Superior as inputs to the audio tracks and of course that didn't work. Then I tried to explode the midi track notes to separate tracks and then transform them to audio and that didn't work. I was sort of cursing under my breath thinking, "are you kidding me I have to buss each of these outs." but again I was wrong. The simple way is to export stems with the multi-outs you want checked along with the import into session checked. Voila! Really easy.

Hey Dan,

Yeah, stems gets that done. You can also bounce directly from arrange if the midi parts are separated on instrument tracks. The latter can have a benefit, especially if you've cut out the empty space, because it doesn't render the empty space. It's much the same except stems always gives a contiguous file and bounce only renders where midi clips are.

Thanks for the reply.

But if I bounce I don't see how to get the multi-outs to work - e.g. kick on one track, snare on second, HH on third, etc. Stems seemed to be the only way to get that done. Am I missing something?

It solos each midi track and bounces it. The bounces are pre-FX master (or solo bus maybe) so it bounces whatever is playing, so you'll end up with individual tracks.

The solo actually leaves all the multi-outs soloed but of course only one midi part is playing at a time, that goes into the bounce.

Try it. It works.

You could always use superior's internal bounce...it's not as fast, perhaps, but it gives you the option for channels outs. Then you drag those audio tracks in...or do you turn on all the bleeds etc, before you burn your stems?

The instrument bounce on the timeline is intelligent in that regard, it solos. You can (I have) use 8-10 midi tracks all pointing to the same stereo drum synth and it would bounce them all out to individual tracks.

Works the same for multi-outs.

Again, it's taking the bounce from a post-channel bus somewhere, either the master bus just before the FX and faders (so nothing changes) or from a solo bus. It doesn't matter what's playing or where it's coming from, it all ends up in that bus anyway and the solo (at the midi source track) isolates it.

@Lawrence - Thanks, I'll give that a try. Sounds like a nice way to work especially if you have breaks in the midi clips on some of the tracks.

Another cool feature I just found is combining L&R mono tracks into stereo in the browser. As you know PT uses seperate left and right mono tracks per stereo bounce. In the S1/2 browser you just right click and convert to a stereo track leaving the mono's in place in the pt folder in the browser. Nice.

@kelldammit - You bethcha ...the bleed control is one of things I love about Superior2, plus I always separate the OHs and Room onto separate tracks.

I see what you're after. Bring up the instrument, and up at the very top of the window, in the studio one "header", next to the preset pulldown on the top left, there is a button labelled CH. Click it

Very welcome Dan. There's probably not a lot of breaks in drums but for other musical tracks it makes bounces go a bit faster, having less space to render.

Yeah, it goes both ways. It will also split stereo files in the browser to two new mono files. It also converts formats and sample rates, in the pool, to FLAC, AIFF, whatever.

I know PT is your wife but enjoy your new mistress.

Thanks. Yeah, I got that part. What I am trying to do is find the easiest way to then record those separate outs as audio files. It's kind of not necessary since there won't be any timing discrepancies to edit and once you assign the different drum mics to different outs you can process them in the DAW mixer any way you like, but for some reason I like mixing with all audio files. Probably a throwback to when VI's weren't always reliable for playing the same thing the same way all the time.

Very cool! thanks!

Actually dude, you want to download the musicloops and audioloops packs. They have some embedded stuff that makes them worth the download - musicloops have the effects and midi and instruments all bundled up (sort of like a live rack). Audioloops have effects (some of them) as well.

I mispoke earlier, so you should download the *loops ones. The musicloops are particularly great examples and many more gems in there than I thought.

I bought the upgrade from S1 Pro to S2 Pro from audiomidi. But the Presonus sw registration page returns an error message with the serial I got. Audiomidi says it's Presonus issue. Presonus support has not come back in the last 36hrs with a solution. I want my S2 Pro...

[hibidy]

Though I have no doubt that it will get resolved, it's a bitch when that happens.

How did you enter the number? You can't use "register product" or what it's called. You need to click on the "upgrade product" link found on your S1 product page (where you see your serial and downloads etc.)

[hibidy]

GOOD CALL! I forgot about that!
