VCA Faders

quickly create VCA for selected channels

Merge option for VCA fader automation

Arrow Tool enhancements

Option to auto-select Range Tool in upper event area

Range Tool improvements

single click sets the cursor

in stop mode, locate happens immediately (play cursor)

15
 PreSonus Studio One 3 Version History

in Play mode, it sets the edit cursor; the locate is deferred until transport
stops

double click on event splits the event

double click on a range selection splits range

more Arrow Tool improvements: event size handles (left / right edges) are
now easier to access with the mouse (fade handles interfere less)

Crossfade editing improvements

in a crossfade, both sides can be sized easier

moving a crossfade (X cursor) is easier now when zoomed out

Extended layer/take editing (comping)

navigation keys (when a layer is selected):

Arrow up/down: navigate between layers (selects previous/next layer)

Arrow left/right: moves a range selection on a layer to the previous/next

area, determined by the event ranges on the main track.

Shift+Arrow left/right: extend a range selection

when another layer of a track is selected (Arrow up/down or click on layer

track controls), an existing range selection is moved to the previous/next
layer.

Layer Solo:

when a layer is selected, the Solo command ("S") now solos the layer (not
the track).

the existing option "Solo follows Selection" now also applies when selecting
another layer.

Layer Colors:

Layers can now have (optional) colors, that can be chosen in the layer track
controls

auto coloring also applies to new layers ("Add/Duplicate Layer")

similar to event colors, the layer color can be undefined. The color of an
event on a layer is determined in this order:

1. Event color (as before)

2. Layer color

3. Track color (as before)

Range Tool:

previously, the "Quick Swipe" comping function was always used on layers,
regardless of the selected tool (except the listen tool)

now the Range tool can be used to select ranges on layers

a range can also be selected with a single click on a layer (selects the event
range from the main track). This also works with the Arrow tool.

switching content on the main track:

16
 PreSonus Studio One 3 Version History

when an event on the track contains material copied from a layer, the
context menu of that event will have a sub menu "Select Layer Content",
listing all layers that also contain material in the event range.

selecting a layer from the menu replaces the event on the track

switching can also be done quickly with Alt+Mousewheel (next/previous

layer)

Layer / Event naming:

in the track controls of a layer, the track name is shown below the layer

the generic default layer names ("Layer 1", etc.) are now assigned
permanently, so they don't change anymore when reordering layers (which
caused a lot of confusion)

when promoting layer material to the track, events now get the layer name; if
the layer has no real name, the event name is "trackName layerNumber"

when recording, the name of the active layer is used in the event name:
"trackName layerName" or "trackName layerNumber" plus a running index

Various:

new "Expand Layers" button on track controls (shown when track has more
than 1 layer)

when a range is selected on a layer, a button for the "Copy Ranges to

Track" Command" appears on the layer's track controls

duplicating a layer now expands the track to show the new layer

Extended tab-to-transient

Tab: move cursor to next transient (as before; discards existing range
selection).

Shift+Tab: create / enlarge a range selection from cursor to next transient

Cmd+BackSpace: move cursor to previous transient

Shift+Cmd+BackSpace: shorten range selection (end) to previous transient

all these commands search for transients on the selected track(s).

when used during playback, a separate "edit cursor" allows navigating

through transients, independently of the play cursor position.

New transport options

context menu on transport buttons

consolidated "Options" in "Transport" menu

New Play Start Marker

decouples playback position from edit selection (called "Dynamic Transport

Mode" in ProTools)

can be enabled/disabled via key command, context menu in the time ruler

New "Loops follows selection" option

New Quick Zoom options

17
 PreSonus Studio One 3 Version History

previous view

with the Arrow Tool selected:

with the Range Tool selected:

alt+drag to select range AND zoom selection

alt+click again anywhere to zoom back to previous view

New mixer options

VCA channel placement and routing display

Automation improvements

quick range editing (automatic "bracket" tool)

automation curve can now be "trimmed" via the upper 1/4 area of a selected
range (|--| Cursor appears)

new command "Automation" - "Transform Range" (default key: Alt+T)

creates a transform selection from the selected range

range selection creates Transform edit selection for automation (incl. simple
up/down dragging PLUS all other Transform options)

matches track/channel default colors; selection follows; default names are in

sync

Various workflow improvements

improved "select to end / select from start" shortcut (track focus)

drag instrument part to audio track renders audio and creates event

double-click output meter in transport bar opens Main channel inserts

window (Channel Editor)
