Thank you so much Darrell, I hoo to see you here often!

This was a much needed video that S.O. doesn't explain well, if at all. I really appreciate it and you style of teaching.

So for effects imo… you can choose how much of the signal you fill feed the fx channel ( pre and post fader ). But bus channel is bounded by the fader level… so whatever the level of the fader is its the same level feeded in the bus. Thats helps to differentiate when to use a bus and when an fx chanel

This was a great video, thanks for taking the time to share!

Originally, you could only use Sends to output to an FX channel, not a bus and there were a few other differences, like fader flip. As of Studio One 6.5, I think there are only two differences between FX Channels and busses: 1) as you mentioned, you can use MIX FX inserts on busses but not on FX Channels. 2) FX Channels default to "Solo Safe", a mode I rarely see anyone talk about. Notice that when you create an FX Channel, the solo button is Green (at least by default)? That means that if any other channel is soloed, the FX Channel will also be soloed whether it was selected or not. You can enable Solo Safe for any channel, but it's on by default for FX Channels.

Hi Mike. Your presentations of Studio One are excellent. This particular subject really captured my attention. I feel I have made many strides with mi ing and gain staging, but feel my comprehension of console is still a bit armature. This episode was dynamic. I am going to start using sends based on this discussion. Thank you. Your instructions have been a source of inspiration for several years now. Keep up the great work.

A good explanation of how the process of busses, VCAs and the effects channel work; can't say I use the effects channel much either. It almost seems redundant when you can use a bus channel instead; correct me if I'm wrong. I sometimes look at the length of your videos and ask if I have the time for it, but as soon as I get in and I can see the thoroughness, it's clear it will be time well spent! Just like this one!

Honestly, I prefer not to complicate things especially when mixing for long hours. So I'll use Efx for effects,and busses for groups. That ensures a more tidy platform for me visually and mentally. Again, to each their own.

As always, great job Mike!

Outstanding tutorial! Great detail.

Brilliant. Everything I need to know, clearly and pleasantly explained, in 20 minutes. Win! Thank you.

Superb, Mike, thank you!

The extra. Bus effects are for grouping coloration or dynamics or whatever. Idk why it's different because you can just have those plugs on your fx chan

Great material! Keep it up Mike!

Great vid as always Mike. You are like a privateer racer putting pressure on a factory team! Keep it up...we all benefit.

Very helpful channel. Thanks for doing this for the community! 👍

As wonderfully clear as ever. Thank you.

Great demonstration of routing capabilities in SO. Nice job.👍✌️

You are helping me a lot, thank you for these videos.

Wow! This changed everything for my Mixes. Thanks mate! for your exceptional video. Cheers!

Just found your channel last night. Very clear and concise explanations in your videos. Really like the more technical explanations like how the signal flows through mixer. Please keep making more awesome S1 videos. Can’t wait to see more. I would like to see your thoughts and explanation of the splitter function and any tips you could share on using it vs using multiple tracks. Thanks.

YES!!! I needed this tutorial. Very instructive. Thanks!

I was watching one of Gregors videos and he demostrated how to click FX channel then fader flip and it will only show the channels currently routing through that FX channel and hide all others. Useful in a big mix.

Nice job. Even though I have been through this countless times, I still gain traction during the discussion. It is a wonderful science of sound, and signal manipulation. I might also add that I wish we had these tools to use with such ease in the 70s, and 80s.

Thanks for your efforts. Broken down with good articulation and finesse. Cheers.

Thank you so much I've been scratching my head trying to figure out how to send two panned mono channels into a stereo bus properly to experiment with side channel eq on my guitars and this really set me straight \m/

thanks for all your videos! I actually have created a "tips" database for myself and these help documenting what to do- and why

Brilliant!

Brilliant video thank you for this.

Super great explanation 👍🏽

Wow, what a lot of info expertly explained. Thank you very much!

Hey Mike, awesome video and great information, as usual. I had to look what a VCA actually stands for. Voltage Controlled Amplifier - to allow you to turn up or down a group of faders while maintaining the relative levels throughout the group. Love all your videos, thanks!

As far as I know, FX Buses were given the Send capacity in version 6. Great video!

Thank You Sir. A very detailed explanation and demonstration. My journey with studio one is being made easier with this channel ❤❤

Amazing tutorial!

Excellent work...my only regret is that I hadn't seen this before today! 😂

Perfect... Thank you very much for this

Mike you are without a doubt the king of reducing complex concepts down to nicely digestible bite-sized mouth-fulls. Thank you for what you do. Here's a (hopefully) simple question on routing. Let's say I have an acoustic guitar track that I run to a bus. My goal is to put a little room reverb on only the mid and upper frequencies of that track. Would a plausible method be to put a dynamic EQ in the "send" of that bus, then below that put my room reverb? The goal is to skip the reverb on the low frequencies, yet pass the mids and highs to the room reverb. Does that idea have merit? Thanks again for all you do for your viewers! ✌

Awesome man. Thanks alot for this video. Helps me alot:). Best regards/Rikard, Sweden

Love it

Thank you very much.

Nice video thank you

Since Studio One is my main DAW I often forget that all DAWS don’t have VCAs lol. For me, I rarely use VCAs, I always use a bus as a “just in case I want to add something” lol. Thank you for your helpful videos 😊

I believe the ability to SEND from an FX channel took place with the Version 6 update to Studio One Pro (regarding the question you raised around 19:50 of the video. I'm not sure about the Artist or Prime versions)

thank u i got so much info

Looking forward to watching and learning. do you have a video on the use of custom "templates" ? also do you ever do one on one training?

I mean at the beginning if you wanted each to have it's proper reverb eq you just move it below the room reverb. lol like in the insert just move pro eq down and eq what you need. Reverb > EQ on insert. The second way you're talking about is affecting the eq going to reverb from the send. It's to viable ways just two different ways.

Thank you thank you. Thie pre fader info was the missing part of the puzzle

Glad it helped Ian :)

Well, there are no "sends" in the FX Channel as of the last version of 5 Pro. I dont use them anyway in Studio One , Im an old school MACKIE 1604VLZ user who uses Busses ( or Aux 's ) , I still have the old analog flow in my mind. This is very similar in a lot of ways .

Love your videos Mike. Clear and concise. I have a question and a comment: Question is, having discovered Cakewalk via your channel and downloading a copy, and now considering S1 which I am completely unfamiliar with atm, it seems like there are a LOT of similarities in workflow and design. Is that true in your eyes, or am I reading too much into what I'm seeing. I loved Cakewalk, but didn't like that it was free and thus worried about longevity (but that seems to have changed recently). Would like to know if you think the two DAWs are more similar than either, say, to Cubase or Reaper. I had not considered S1 because it lacked good video support, but even that looks like it is getting some love from Presonus. My comment is on the FX channel vs Bus Channel. I noticed in the video around 21:12 that the Solo button is yellow on the FX channel vs orange on the others. Is there a different Solo behavior on the FX channel vs the Bus. I would suspect that if you solo the bus, it would automatically solo everything sent to the bus. Is that true on the FX channel too? Perhaps you can just solo the FX channel? Cheers!

Thanks for this video. I just want to know how to make these icons appear under the faders. Thanks

I like to organize my tracks in folders and use these folders as busses.

Hey Mike, I am Alan and I hope you are well! Lol, just wondering if there is a way of converting saved projects from Cakewalk for Studio One as I am considering making the change over for a variety of different reasons. Would be really cool if you have any advice about the project converting situation. Thanks mate.

Very nicely explained Sir!!. I admit, I generally use bus channels, but I like the idea of the VCA. I have to ask, how do you get the drum images under each mix channel. Is it an add on or is it exclusive to ST1 V6?

@ironweedstudios

Жыл бұрын

I believe that it is a new feature in V6.

Thought I was going crazy when following these steps for IK MODO Drums 1.5, could not drag and drop the Busses to be next to the toms that I used to follow your example. Did some digging around and it seems from forum that the ability to do this on Multi output VSTs disappeared with V3. That's a shame because the ADHD in me really needs to be grouped together LOL. Interesting you can obviously do it with Superior Drummer. Didn't see anyone else mention this in the comments...

Hi! I have a question: Is it possible to put a predelay on the fx send f.i. to create different predelays on just one reverb? Couldnt find it so far..

How do you get the inserts and sends above the fader , as mine default to alongside the fader and can't find how to change it. Call it a senior moment

How can I make input control my default view? I always have to go back in and turn it on every time I load a new or saved session.

Maybe I missed it. So how can I route different busses out of the quantum 2626s 8 outputs. Changing a channels output changes the entire masterbuss output. Im trying to sum mix out of the quantum, into the mixer and back into studio one. How can I keep the masterbuss at main output..but send individual busses out of the quantum so that im not getting phase and crosstalk issues coming back into the interface

version 6 brought in sends on Sends.

if you look in the performance window what huge latency some stock plugins like the EQ or Compressor actually have, you will probably not use them again. Similar plugins from other companies have no latency at all (at least not in ms).

Are there any ways of printing the fx track in studio one?

Why is it that when I fly a hook the bus effects are no longer on the tracks it seems.. the hook doesn’t sound the same as the first please help

just did it exactly as i showed and still cant control volume of this channels on the bus channel fader i got everything the same as he has and when i turned down bus fadder nothing happens what am I doing wrong?

I have StudioOne 3.5 and it does not have the send option on my FX channel. It must have changed in either 4 or 5.

I currently run S1 v5 and I'm a little bit confused with the way plugins sound depending on the channel you put them. As I test the way plugins sound and the color they bring even the quality. I found that the best sound I hear is when using the plugins on a added Bus by right clicking the mixer channel and choosing add bus channel to the selected track. The majority of plugins I have sound best by using them like that. When using them trough fx channel (send) they sound different and even I get a little bit of volume gain when adding and fx channel. This is very confusing.

This has to do with the routing as mentioned in the video. When you add a bus channel for selected tracks, Studio One automatically routes the *output* of the track to the bus. The signal flow now becomes *Track -> Bus -> Main* (Main is the output to your speakers or headphones). When you add plugins onto that bus you're essentially doing the same thing as adding plugins directly onto the selected track, you hear the 100% wet signal (the sound after its altered by plugins). When you use sends (FX or Bus, doesn't matter) the output of the track is not routed into it, but instead it is *split and sent* to the channel. The signal flow is *Track -> Main* AND *FX or Bus -> Main* . So you hear both the track itself and the sends blended together. Hope this helps clear things up.

@@dorukyucebasoglu9539 I was going to answer this, but you nailed it pretty well. I might add that I see a lot of people sending a channel and getting confused why it's suddenly overpowering, say for instance, the reverb on their send. This has to do with the fact that, if you're using an effect on a send, you *usually want to be running the signal into a plugin that's set at 100% Wet/0% Dry, if it has the option, e.g., the "Wet" knob in Exponential Audio R4 turned fully clockwise, or the "Mix" knob on Valhalla VintageVerb turned all the way to 100%. This isn't to be confused with setting the send volume (the small, blue volume line in the audio track's "Send" section,) to 100%/0dB.

I am ableton LIVE user for about 15 years. I feel very comfortable with that DAW. I have to say one thing. STUDIO ONE IS SUPER, SUPER HARD TO LEARN ! After trying for 6+ months I am still very, unproductive and get stuck every single time I try to do something. It seems like I would need a 100 years to learn it ! I do not know whether is it to many features, to complex concept, to cluttered interface, to many macros, to many icons,... I really do not know exactly what makes it so hard, Perhaps my Ableton Live habits... I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE THIS SOFTWARE but after trying for so many months I am becoming more and more discouraged by the suuuuper slow progress and no resource other than Forum posts to get some help. How many messages one can however post a day ? THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS PLENTY OF TUTORIALS ON HOW TO DO THINGS. There are no tutorials or any help how to do, or what to do when one gets stuck !!! I ended up many times when something that supposed to work suddenly stopped, something got messed up and I had no idea how to fix it etc. I could only start from scratch (and be so unhappy to waste time again,...). Perhaps for those who use this software for 10+ years it is a second nature but the perspective of learning this software for another 20 years is daunting ! For NEW COMERS - there is something missing in this program ! CERTAINLY IS.
