Studio One V2 Details

[musikmachine]

Found the info on the Presonus forums.

With Thesys you have to create an extra track and then set the instrument tracks input to thesys and it should trigger it, also records midi to the track as well.

This is for midi fx: http://forums.presonus.com/posts/list/15/7317.page

Anyway loads of info on the forums, it's better than the manual lol. i'm gonna spend some time on there over the next few days.

Cool. I thought you meant midi inserts like Cubase, in series on an instrument track. Thanks.

I don't know Cubase but if you mean being able to insert any effect whether audio or midi then yeah i did but this is ok, at least there's a way.

still trying to download soundsets for v2. looks like preonsus needs to increase bandwith!

Was jsut checking out the melodyne features. They show in some of the tutorial vids that they are editing polyphonic material and extracting midi notes. Quite excellent. However I checked on the site what comes with S1 Pro and apparently you get Melodyne essential, which does not have the polyphonic editing.

Are we to assume that in the tutorial videos they are using an upgraded version? So if you upgrade you're melodyne, it continues to be integrated with S1 but with polyphonic editing as well?

Yes. I actually did not even install Melodyne Essential. I already had Melodyne Editor installed and S1 recognized it. In my case, I had to reinstall Melodyne to get it working correctly, but it integrated perfectly after that.

When I Installed the Melodyne demo, I didn't realize it was the editor version. Changing individual notes of polyphonic material was really fun and inspiring (used a guitar loop playing chords).

After I registered Melodyne, I was like "where did all my buttons go"?!?!?!

That's when I realized that I had been using the fancier version.

Really nice though. Thinking of upgrading from essential.

So then would an owner of Studio One 2 Pro have an upgrade path to Melodyne editor? Probably the Melodyne essential to editor deal through celemony?

Strange, I just read at Synthtopia that Studio One includes the ability to edit polyphonic material, but that must be an error I guess?

I have a question regarding the included effectors.

How are they quality wise? Are they usable, or do you feel the need to go to external plugins. Thank you

IMO, they are all quite good, but if you want compressors etc. with tube emulation go to 3rd party plugins.

My $0.02 on the stock plugs... mileage and taste will vary. In a general subjective nutshell...

Pro EQ: I don't use any other EQ for anything. I'm not a believer in the subjective (digital) "tasty" EQ's or digital EQ's with "flavor". EQ is a corrective tool for me and ProEq works great for me. The spectrum analyzer in it is handy and it has all the shapes and slopes.

FabFilter EQ might be a good add anyway though. It has some nifty features.

Comps: The 4 comps are (imo) very good. TriComp is really useful and the Multiband is pretty good. I usually prefer Waves RComp on lead vox and on the mix bus, but the main PreSonus comp has little more "bite", making them very complimentary. I use the PreSonus comps on guitars, bass, most anything else. TriComp on busses sometimes, etc. The other comp is in the channel strip plug, comp + EQ, handy.

Delays: Really good delays for standard audio work. I use Analog Delay in every mix somewhere, the saturation and other settings are good. Beat Delay and Groove delay are pretty handy also. The only thing it's really missing in that regard is something like Cubase's doubler or Waves Doubler with detuning.

Verbs: I'd put the verbs about a notch below Cubase. Roomverb is really usable imo (sounds good to me) and OpenAir is a pretty great sounding convo. Cubase's convo impulses are among the best I've ever heard - really on par with Altiverb in the plates and similar and in some cases with a kind of crystal clear clarity that exceeds Altiverb - and the Open Air impulses are a very, very small step below that.

Not sure where Steiny got those impulses, but many of them kinda really "sparkle". They're really, really clear, the tails an similar.

Pro also has a convo tool for sampling your own impulses... "IR Maker".

Chorus: The chorus is not that great imo. This is one area where you'd probably look third party if you need a really good chorus plug.

AmpSim: I don't work with rock and similar very often so my use of amp simulators is limited at best. The new version, Ampire XT, seems to sound pretty good but I'll leave it to guitarists to make that determination. I do use it on bass though with good effect.

Binaural Pan: One of the best stereo widening tools I've used. I used to use the Waves S1 imager thingy but I use this one exclusively now. It just sounds really good to me when it goes wide.

Metering: It has metering pretty much covered with Level Meter, Phase and Scope meters. Really nothing needed there although I do use TTDynamic Range on my mixbus.

Some of the others like the flangers and tremolos and similar I don't really use much. The limiter is pretty good though even though I don't really squash things with limiters too often. It does have inter-sample limiting and most (if not all) of the plugs with meters have switchable K-Metering.

All in all, it's (imo) a very good collection of audio plugs. Not just throwaways.

That sounds right, but, as I mentioned, I already had Editor, so I had no need to look into the upgrade. Hopefully someone else here can confirm.

Essential definitely does not allow this. I believe they're saying that the capability to edit polyphonic material in an integrated fashion is there in S1, but failed to mention that it requires a paid upgrade to Editor.

[Lux Delux]

I have successfully paid for the upgrade to Melodyne editor

So yeah it works, waiting for 2.0

[memyselfandus]

Are there still plans to add some sort of basic notation?
