You can open it to find everything you’ve previously saved. From the Start Page, clicking New Song and the User Tab will display your saved templates. Once you have a good setup, select Save as Template in the File menu and give it a memorable descriptive name. To save time building up new tracks from scratch, create templates by dragging your most-used instruments, effects, busses, panels and layouts into the editing window.

Click okay to adjust the selected note so the timing is less perfect and more realistic. From the pop-up menu, you can add a velocity and/or note start range. If MIDI parts are too stiff and robotic, right-click them and hit Humanize. You can also add Note FX and Effects to either instrument. To create a split, use the sliders above the virtual keyboard and drag them to the keys where you want the split to occur. A multi-instrument is displayed with both instruments layered. Studio One will ask if you want to combine the instruments – you do, so click Combine. Create an instrument track and drag another instrument to the same track. In Studio One, it’s easy to create multi-instruments that are layered or split (or both). Adjust the threshold, attack and release until you get a rhythmic pad. Use something such as a hi-hat track for the rhythm and select it from the compressor’s sidechain input on the pad track. What’s better than pads on a track? How about choppy, rhythmic pads? Create a pad track and insert a compressor. Then add an audio track and route the output of the noise track to its input.

Adjust the release time to shape the length of the noise to taste. Set a Tone Generator to about 2kHz and add a gate with the sidechain input set to the snare. The same principle can be applied to snares, only this time using white noise.
