PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [89/307] Studio one reference manual

Alternatively, you can choose the Slice action, which slices the selected Event using its Bend Markers as a basis, with

different results depending on the selected options. Check Autofades if you want the resulting individual slices to each

have a short fade-in and fade-out in order to avoid audible clicking. Check Merge if you would like the individual slices to be

merged into an Audio Part after processing. Check Quantize if you would like to quantize the resulting individual Events,

and set the Strength using the percentage field. Note that in this process, no timestretching occurs; instead, a single

continuous Event is sliced at its detected transients, and the resulting multiple Events themselves are quantized across the

timeline.

As with the Strip Silence panel, when the small light indicator next to the [Apply] button is lit, this means that changing

certain Detection, Bend Marker, Track, or Action options and then clicking Apply automatically undoes the previous

indicate they have been moved left or right, and the waveforms are appropriately colored as described in the Editing

Bend Markers section.

When quantizing audio, the Audio Track's Timestretch mode is set to Audio Bendto ensure the best sonic results.

The same quantize commands are available for transient-detected audio as for Instrument Parts. [Q] quantizes the

selected Events, [Alt]/[Option]+[Q] quantizes at 50% strength, and [Shift]+[Q] restores the original timing.

Phase-Coherent Multitrack Quantization

When multiple microphones are used to record the same instrument onto multiple Tracks, as with as a drum set, it is very

important that the phase relationships across the multitrack audio remain unaltered. You can think of phase relationships

as the time it takes sound to reach each microphone from the source, such as a snare drum. How the waveforms align

across each Track is critically important to the sound achieved; if a snare hit is moved in time on one Track and not the

on any Track individually, you would Group the Tracks by selecting them and pressing [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+[G] on the keyboard. If

you then quantize audio on any Track in the Group, Studio One determines the phase relationships between the Tracks

and then quantizes or slices the audio across all Tracks based on transients on the individual Tracks. For instance, where

there is a snare hit, thefirst transient found (within the range of the snare hit) in the Tracks from top to bottom is used as

the basis for quantization for all four Tracks; the other Tracks simply maintain their existing phase relationships to the

quantized Track, and thus are quantized in a phase-coherent manner.

In the above scenario, you can check exactly what Studio One has done by zooming in on any Bend Marker. You can see

that the Bend Marker Range on each Track has been adjusted to a common start time, with the Bend Marker used as the

basis for quantization. Manual Bend Marker edits on grouped Tracks performs the same process.

It is also possible to exclude any Tracks in a Group from transient analysis and therefore not use them as a reference in the
