Studio 24c: Setup an Audio Track in Studio One

Published March 21, 2022

 

Many PreSonus users like to use our custom-made templates that set up Studio One for your specific hardware device. This ensures that your interface/mixer is fully configured for recording in Studio One as illustrated in the video below.

Alternatively, you may wish to build your song from a completely blank canvas one track at a time. If for example, you are using just a small number of tracks this method can avoid unnecessary onscreen clutter while creating a streamlined workflow for your music/audio project.

 

1. Launch Studio One and select New Song

5. Under the Inputs tab, click on Add (Mono) and Input 1 should appear. Select the dark square and the letter M will appear in the box and will turn a lighter color.  You can repeat this for a second input if you wish.
