3. Specify which MIDI channels will be used to communicate with this sound
module. For most purposes, you should select all MIDI channels. If you are
unsure of which MIDI channels to select, we suggest you select all 16.
4. In the Send To menu, select the MIDI interface output from which Studio One
Artist will send MIDI data to your sound module. Click “OK” and close the External
Devices window. You are now ready to start recording in Studio One Artist.
The rest of this Quick Start Guide will go over how to set
up a Song and will discuss some general workflow tips for
navigating through the Studio One Artist environment.
8.3 Creating a New Song
Now that you’ve configured your audio and MIDI devices, let’s create
a new Song. We’ll start by setting up your default audio I/O.
1. From the Start page, select “Create a New Song.”
2. In the New Song window, name your Song and choose the directory in
which you’d like it saved. You’ll notice a list of templates on the left. These
templates provide quick setups for a variety of devices and recording
situations. The section will describe creating a Song from an empty session.
3. Select “Empty Song” from the Templates list. At this point, you should give
your Song a name and select your preferred sample rate and bit depth for
recording and playback. You can also set the length of your Song and the
type of time format you would like the timeline to follow (notation bars,
seconds, samples, or frames). Click the OK button when you are finished.
Power User Tip:
If you plan to import loops into your Song, make sure that the Stretch
Audio Files to Song Tempo option is selected. This will automatically import loops at the
correct tempo.
