PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [147/307] Studio one reference manual

Click on any Input or Output to display and choose from a list of available routing options for any Channel. Clicking on the

Input for an Instrument Channel opens the interface for the source virtual instrument.

Panner and Fader

All Channels feature a horizontal panner and vertical volume fader below the I/O-selection display. The panner can be

clicked-and-dragged horizontally, allowing the audio for each Channel to be positioned left or right in the stereo field. The

volume fader can be click-and-dragged vertically to control the output volume for each Channel. Numerical values may

also be entered for pan and volume.

Studio One uses a -3 dB pan law for all channel panning. On stereo Channels, the panner adjusts the balance of left and

right signal levels.

Mute/Solo

Channels can be muted or soloed by clicking on their Mute and Solo buttons, respectively. You can also press [M] for Mute

or [S] for Solo on the keyboard to mute or solo selected Channels. Muting silences the Channel’s audio from the Console

so you won’t hear it. Soloing silences all except the audio for the soloed Channel, so you only hear the soloed Channel. Any

number of Channels can be muted or soloed at one time.

When using the [M] or [S] keys to mute or solo an Instrument Track that has a virtual instrument attached to it, mute or solo

is applied to the note data Track in the Arrangement view, rather than to the audio Track in the Mix view. [M] and [S] have

no effect on Bus or FX Channels.

You can perform a Global Solo Off, which disengages Solo on any Track that has it engaged, by pressing and holding [Ctrl]

on the keyboard and then clicking on any Solo button. Performing the [Ctrl]-click again recalls the previous solo settings,

returning any previously soloed channels to the solo state. This can be useful when comparing a group of soloed Tracks to

other Tracks in your mix.

Automation Mode

The Automation mode for each Channel is displayed at the bottom of the Channel. By default, this mode is set to Off. Click

on this display to choose an Automation mode or to add and remove automation parameters.

Name

Channel names are shown at the bottom of each Channel in the Console. Double-click on the name, type a new name,

and then press Enter to change the name of any Channel.

Expand Channel

All Channels feature an Expand Channel button, which expands the visible Channel to the right, revealing further Console

routing possibilities. Audio, Instrument, and Bus Channels include Insert and Send Device Racks. FX Channels only have

an Insert Device Rack.

Channel Types

Input

Input Channels represent the configured hardware audio inputs. They can be mono or stereo, depending on the

configuration of the hardware input they represent. Use the Input Channels to accurately meter inputs or to add effects

processing to an input.

Audio

Audio Channels are direct representations of Audio Tracks in the Arrange view. Each Audio Track has a corresponding

Audio Channel in the Console, with corresponding Record Enable, Monitor Enable, Solo, and Mute controls.
