Logic Pro X is KILLING Studio One in Beat Making Workflows

What do we think of Logic's drum flow? Is it something you'd want to see in Studio One?

Patterns would be, in my opinion, a much better option to use with Impact than the Piano Roll, and use the Sample Transpose and Sample Tune parameters to change the pitch of your samples. No need to use Sample One for that...

Great video Ivan,
I usually automate the pitch control in Impact to achieve the same thing, but I see your point.

I switched to Logic from Studio One back when it first went Atmos long before Studio One did. $200 free updates for the past decade, always compatible with your OS. But I only mix and master stereo and Atmos in Logic. I still track in Studio One 5 Pro as I prefer the comping and event based processing. And I compose in Maschine because it's super fast with a Maschine Studio & Jam combo.

Love the flow. You hit the nail on the head with a sledgehammer. Hope they are listening and it's not something hard for them to do. Great job my friend

You’re absolutely right Mr Calderon.
My template is full of sample ones for the drum programming, i never use impact XT because it makes a little bit more complicated and i like fast workflow. the thing that i would like them to change also is being able to drag and drop a sample directly into the track in the left so it loads directly into the vst (sample one ) instead of having to open the instrument

Logic Gang Gang!!! Cmon over Ivan, we would love to have ya!!!!

yes ivan we need this feature in s1 asap

I appreciate u taking the time to make this video. People from fl been living smoothly since they started and we been clenching our fists . 😂❤

That is a really great workflow for drum programming!

This is exactly why I've been opting to avoid the impact plug-in unless I'm just doing a demo.

I also wish we could steal pitch automation on an audio track like you can do in abelton (think tape stop effect on a vocal). Needing to add a plugin separately, or creating a completely new track with sample one just for the effect is a pain.

Love these videos!

Hell Yeah!!! I want to see that is S1!

I’m dealing with this everyday. It does take time. The more frustrating part is 1 fader controls them all. You cannot adjust their volume or level separately.
Great video.
Thank you for bringing it up.

Great job Ivan, I have been a Studio one user for over 10 years and agree with everything you said about the much needed Studio One upgrades. It is definately has the easiest workflow and is my favorite daw to record in. I hope you are able to make a part 2 to this video showing how you can drag a sample in to Logic's timeline and it will give you chioces how to use your sample. Logic offers amazing ways to manualy chop and minipulate samples, or have the Logic drum sampler chop them for you.The sampler allows you to choose the traditional trigger mode or select the all black or all white keys to trigger notes in the sampler. One of my favorite drum programming features in Logic is the quantize slider. This is a game changer!!!! While programing my drum patterns, I can drag the quantize slider back and forth in real time and hear the affect for the quatize to dial in a human feel. That is amazing!!! If Studio one would add models like these to their daw along with a new cusomizable file search system and new usable vurtual instruments and samples, I would probably never look at another daw again. I hope Presonus will see this post. This would blow the competition out of the water.

Can't say I have much need for pitching individual drum hits up or down but I can see why the Logic approach would be a game changer for the types of genre you mention. I don't make electronic dance music and use mainly multi-sampled acoustic drum sounds where the pitch is (very subtly) higher (and very subtly brighter) if the velocity is higher etc. I also decrease the transients a tad on the softest hits for extra realism. Keep the videos coming as they're great.

You are spot on...I agree, no shame, in a world of tedious production tasks, every second saved counts at the end of the day...And will be much appreciated.

Good suggestion on this. I love Studio One . currently using SO5.... Hoping to see if they take your advice for SO7 lol

This is great Ivan!!! I am mostly using Logic and Ableton, a bit of FL Studio, would you still recommend getting Presonus? I am waiting for one, also got Nektar Aruba, not sure which one integrates better :) Any help appreciated

Ivan!!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Bolo Da Producer made a similar video recently. Man, I posted the video on one of the Studio One Facebook forums and guess what? They flagged me and deleted the post. Never had this issue until Fender took over.

in pattern mode, right click the pitch pot on Impact on the pad you need to pitch and set the automation to the pattern and there you go: you can now change the pitch for each of the pads independently for each hit. you can also automate almost any parameter per event just by dragging the little automation hand (top left of window) to the event and holding alt/option before letting go. that's available for every pad.

pro tip: once you split by pitch you can set each of the channels to the corresponding mixer track in the info panel so it'll be 1 to 1 between arrangement view and mixer view. from there you can a just create Track presets and you never have to do it again.
