Studio One Audio Bend

broken image


Presonus Studio One Pro 5.1 Released today. Release Notes New features and improvements: Recording and Mixing Retrospective Recording Track/Channel search and filter options Bypass option for Gain Envelopes Drag & drop send chains Arrangement and Edit. To do this is Studio One. I use the Audio Bend menu, grab the audio and use the Slice option with Quantize and Merge selected. It does a pretty good job of slice and quantize, you can also adjust the sensitivity on the detection to get different results. As you edit in Studio One always use the most efficient approach for a particular case which for minor timing correction may not actually be Audio Bend or Melodyne ARA or quantize. The example below assumes that a random section of audio in an otherwise good performance Is a tiny bit out of time.

Hi,
I was wandering if audio bend is available in Studio One 3 Prime and/or Artist. In all the tutorials I've seen there is an 'audio bend' button that I don't see in my Studio One 3 Prime app. It has to be enabled from some menu or it is only unavailable?
Do you know if it is available in the Artist version or I need the Professional version to have it?
Thank you,
Narcís

Hi..
See comparison chart for further info:-http://www.presonus.com/products/studio-one/compare-versions
Mentions time stretching but not audio bend, maybe someone else can proffer more detail on this respect.

Thank you Steve,
In the list of features is not clear but in the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkVmre64tME) seems clear that audio bend is included in Artist and Professional but not in Prime.
Cheers,

As a long term Pro Tools user (over 15 years) and now also a Studio One user a question I'm asked a lot is which is better for audio editing Pro Tools or Studio One. That question often comes from Pro Tools users, this is because audio editing in Pro Tools has always been one of its core strengths, in fact for many one of the key the reason they continue to use it.

So my answer? They are different. I don't say this to dodge the question I say this because I think the answer needs unpacking a little. Old google voice app.

What we mean at Pro Tools Expert when we talk about being a Pro Tools Ninja is knowing your keyboard shortcuts so well that you fly around the audio editing timeline at speed. You can edit in audio in Studio One like a Pro Tools Ninja. What I mean by that is that you can set-up Studio One to behave like Pro Tools when editing audio.

As a long term Pro Tools user this means two parts to my workflow, the first part is using Tab to Transient. This needs to be enabled in Pro Tools (see image right). The good news is that in Studio One Tab to Transient works just like Pro Tools, click the audio then use the 'Tab' key to move to the next transient. To move back a step you simply press 'Shift' and 'Tab'.

The second part is that I then use a keyboard combination in Pro Tools to split the audio at the point the cursor is now sitting at. Depending on how you set-up Pro Tools (either using keyboard focus or not) this shortcut differs. I don't use focus so I use 'CMD' and 'E' to split the audio at the playhead.

You can see me doing both Tab to Transient and splitting the audio in the image below.

As I say, this is my preferred method in Pro Tools, but the good news in Studio One is that I can set up customised keyboard preferences to match Pro Tools. See the image below.

What Do I Mean By Different?

What I mean by different is that some operations in Studio One take a different approach. Here is one example of a process I do a lot in Pro Tools and that is time correcting drums.

There are a number of ways to time correct drums in Pro Tools, this includes using Beat Detective and Elastic Audio, as well as what I call old school, in fact old school is my preferred method.

Old School Drum Editing In Pro Tools.

What I mean by old school drum editing is to cut the audio at the transients, then quantise the audio to the grid and then close any gaps in the audio created by the process. In my opinion I have found this to produce the best results.

To do this in Pro Tools it requires the following operation. Pathfinder macro.

  • First use the 'Separate Region at Transient' command found in Pro Tools in the Edit Menu.

  • Then I select all the audio on the timeline and use the 'Quantize to Grid' command. This aligns all the audio onto the grid.

  • Then I use the 'Edit Smoothing' feature in Beat Detective to close up all the gaps created.

To do this is Studio One

  • I use the Audio Bend menu, grab the audio and use the Slice option with Quantize and Merge selected. It does a pretty good job of slice and quantize, you can also adjust the sensitivity on the detection to get different results.

  • Alternatively I don't use the Merge option and after quantize I use the 'X' key command to create crossfades on all regions. For those jumping between Pro Tools and Studio One this can be mapped as 'CMD' and 'F' to work like Pro Tools.

  • Finally if you want to do it in one action then you simply select 'Autofades', 'Merge' and 'Quantize' then hit apply and Studio One does a pretty good job of automating the entire process, kind of an auto-Ninja.

I'm sure other Pro Tools users and Studio One users will have their preferred methods for doing the above, I'm simply showing mine as an example. I see fire mp3 song download.

Summary

Presonus Studio One Audio Bend

Better or Different? Different.

This article is just the tip of the iceberg but gives one example of something I depend on in Pro Tools, but I have found it perfectly possible to do the same way, if not differently in Studio One.

If the question is can you do the same things in the same amount of time in either DAW, then the answer is yes. If you are a Pro Tools user and have quite understandably grown to love the simplicity of the audio editing then I can assure you you need not fear losing that in Studio One.

Studio One Prime Audio Bend

One thing that is missing in Studio One is the Smart Tool, a handy feature in Pro Tools that makes the tools contextual depending on the part of the audio clip you place the tool on. I hope to see this in a future version of Studio One.

Am I telling you to switch? No, I'm telling you that were you to switch then your 'audio editing Ninja' days would not be over.
