PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [70/307] Size an event

Move an Event

To move an Event using the Arrow tool, click anywhere on the Event and drag left, right, up, or down. Dragging the Event

left or right moves the Event backward and forward in time, relative to the current Timebase and Timeline zoom. When

dragging an Event left or right beyond the viewable arrangement, hold [Space Bar] on the keyboard to speed up the

scrolling.

Dragging the Event up or down moves the Event to another existing Track of the same type. If the Event is dragged to a

position where no Track currently exists, Studio One creates a new Track of the same type.

When dragging an Event from one Track to another (up or down), the position of the Event is constrained within an

automatic snapping range to make it easy to keep the Event at the same time position. To defeat this snapping, hold Shift

while dragging the Event up or down.

Size an Event

Events can be thought of as windows into audio files and musical performances, where what you see is what you hear.

Sizing is a fundamental technique wherein Events are made shorter or longer, so that only a portion of the audio or

musical data they contain is seen and heard. To size any Event using the Arrow tool, float the mouse to the left or right

edge of the Event to reveal the Sizing tool. When this tool appears, click-and-drag left or right to size the Event. Events can

be sized and resized nondestructively any number of times.

Two adjacent Events can be sized simultaneously so that no gap is created between them. To do this, float the Arrow tool

to the bottom of where the two Events meet in the Timeline, where you can see the sizing icon with both left and right

arrows illuminated, and then click-and-drag left or right.

Holding [Alt]/[Option] on the keyboard and then sizing an Event from the right edge results in the Event being freely

timestretched. Refer to the Timestretching section of this chapter for more information.

Adjust Audio Event Volume Envelopes

All Audio Events feature a basic volume envelope that allows the volume of the audio to be shaped in several ways. Using

the volume envelope, you can create a fade-in and fade-out, as well as set a constant volume level between the fades.

The volume envelope applies gain changes to the audio clip in the Event and is therefore at the front end of the audio

signal path.

To create a fade-in or fade-out, click-and-drag left or right on the Fade Flag in the upper left or right corner of an Audio

Event. By default, a linear fade is created over the length you have moved the Fade Flag. Fade times, as well as Event

gain, can also be edited in the Inspector for any selected Event.
