You’ll be greeted by the Studio One startup when you first open the software. It’s one of the most diverse startup pages of any DAW, including up-to-date information from the News Feed and Demos and Tutorials tabs.
You’ll also find Recent Files, Songs, Projects, and access to your personal Artist Profile and even Soundcloud account if you choose to link it!
Creating a New Song
One of the easiest ways to start a new project in Studio One is to click the Create a New Song button in the upper lefthand portion of the startup window.
Another window will open letting you change different session settings, like sample rate and bit depth, tempo, time signature, and more. You’ll also have the very handy ability to check a box called “Stretch audio files to song tempo,” which automatically fits audio into the song’s tempo.
What’s great about Studio One is it also lets you select from a list of integrated hardware when creating a new session. In Carlo’s demo, he’s using the PreSonus Quantum 2 interface and makes this selection for his session. When the new project opens, it will load with a Quantum 2 preset including 4 audio tracks and 2 reverb and delay busses.
After you click OK, your new Studio One session will open!
