PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [31/307] Studio one reference manual

Advanced Options

Studio One offers the following ways to customize your workflow. Click on each tab in the Studio One/Options/Advanced

(Mac OS: Preferences/Advanced) menu to access these options.

Many of the following options that pertain to editing in Arrange view can be accessed and toggled on or off by clicking the

Options button in the Arrange view toolbar.

Editing

Click on the Editing tab to access the following options:

Enable Crosshair Cursor for Tools is engaged by default. It enables a large, white, vertical-and-horizontal

crosshair in the Arrange view that aids in displaying the exact position of the various mouse tools.

Locate When Clicked in Empty Space is disengaged by default. When engaged, it allows the timeline cursor

to be located based on clicking in empty space or clicking where there are no Events.

Apply Folder Track Color to Content is disengaged by default. When engaged, it causes all content con-

tained in a Folder Track to be color-coded with the same color you choose for the Folder Track.

Don’t Show Event Names removes the name labels from Events in the Arrangement view. This is purely an

aesthetic difference and does not change any functions.

Draw Events Translucent is not engaged by default. It enables the Timeline grid in the Arrange and Edit view

to be seen in the background, through Events. Seeing the grid may help with various editing tasks.

Automation

Click on the Automation tab to access the following options:

Automation Follows Events is engaged by default. This means that automation envelopes lock to Events so

that moving an Event with automation “under” it also moves the automation.

Disable Events Under Automation Envelopes is also engaged by default. This makes Events unavailable to

the mouse tools while viewing an automation envelope, which helps prevent you from unintentionally editing

underlying Events while editing automation.

Automatically Add Envelopes for allTouched Parameters is disabled by default. Engaging this option

adds an automation envelope for any automation-friendly parameter when you touch its control.

The Default Envelopes for new Audio Tracks selectors let you specify which types of automation envelopes

are created for each new track by default.You can enable or disable Volume, Pan, and Mute.

Audio

Click on the Audio tab to access the following options:

Use Cache for Timestretched Audio Files is engaged by default. It is described in depth in the Using

Timestretch Cache section of the Editing chapter.

Record Tempo Information to Audio Files is engaged by default. When engaged, this option enables tempo

tagging for any audio file recorded in Studio One. The Song tempo at the time position of the recording is saved

with the file, so that automatic timestretching can be accomplished. If another application has issues reading

audio files from Studio One, try disabling this option.

Use Dithering for Playback and Audio File Export is engaged by default, and means that triangular dither-

ing (with no noise-shaping) is applied when the audio signal’s bit depth is reduced from a higher bit depth by a

device or during file export. Turn this off if you would like to use a third-party dithering solution, such as a limiter

Insert effect on the main output that has built-in dithering with characteristics you prefer.

Use Realtime Processing to Update Mastering Files ensures that real-time processing is used when the

mastering file for a given Song is automatically updated. This is necessary when Songs utilize certain devices,

such as External Instruments, that require a real-time mixdown in order to be included in the mix.
