Product Overview

Studio One offers numerous compressors and other dynamics tools, and in this video tutorial series Studio One pro Marcus Huyskens explains and explores the options you have at your fingertips.

Marcus begins with a brief introduction and a primer on how to use compression in general, then demonstrates how to use the Compressor, Expander, and make-up gain features in the Studio One Channel Strip. Next, he shows you how to use the dynamics section of the Fat Channel, including the Limiter, Gate/Expander, and Compressor.

Then it’s time for a deep dive into the Multiband Dynamics plug-in, and Marcus reveals how to take control of the discreet frequencies in your tracks and dial in compression settings tailored to the individual frequency bands.

Marcus now demonstrates the parameters of the RC500 State Space plug-in, and the VT1 dynamics plug-in, including its unique impedance settings, as well as how to use the Tricomp, focusing on how it can add vibrance and apparent loudness when used on the mix bus.

Wrapping it up, Marcus explores how to use the limiter to raise the overall loudness enough to compete with modern mastered tracks, and ends by showing you creative uses for Studio One’s dynamics processors. First, he shows you how you can use the built-in Compressor to create a frequency-based deesser by using its sidechain filter, and how to set up a parallel compression chain by using the Splitter.

Extremely Helpful

I have had Studio One for over a year and has been reluctant to use it because the UI looks so formidable. Also for new users, there is absolutely so much to learn that it can be intimidating. I just started looking at the use of dynamics plugins and find these tutorials very enlightening. Plan to keep using Groove 3 to help me master the software.

Nice review but bypass A/B should be gain matched...

Instructive review on the tricomp but to thruly hear what it does, the bypass a/b should have been done with gains matched. Of course in this short term with tricomp it sounds better cause it's louder (without denying the potential of the plugin this is just an advice for next reviews ;) ) Thanks a lot

A remedy for pluginitis

I have a moderate to severe case of "plugin-itis". There are SO many great plugins available out there (both paid and free) . Even within Studio One, there are many great ones. Marcus does a great job a showing what's available within Studio One, and also WHEN, and WHY to use them. I am by no means cured of pluginitis. Maybe I'm a hopeless case. However, the native plugins are very, very good, if not excellent. Marcus does a great job of illustrating that.
