Studio One frustrations

I am trying to make Addictive Drums 2 have separate channels for all the drums.
It was so easy in Sonar. It was intuitive and logical. Easy to implement.
 
I just cannot figure out how to do it in Studio One.
It is so unintuitive that I am ready to give up.
 
EDIT: Duh! I didn't see the INSTR selector on the console page.
Simply clicking on the box (but not the down arrow) brings up a selection of available outputs.
Click the box next to the desired output and a track is added. Easy!!!
I had been using SOP for audio only. This was my first try at adding a soft synth. Perfectly easy once you know what button to press. LOL.
Studio One Rocks!

Actually its even more intuitive in Studio One. Would have been quicker to Google for how to do it than come here and whine about it.

It's far easier to do in Studio One, it's a breeze, a real nobrainer, a far better implementation.
IMO, SONAR is the one that sucks, plus, well, it's DEAD, gone, finished, and all those bugs are never going to be fixed.

How about we try to help one another without antagonizing anyone with inflammatory rhetoric about any particular DAW? Please?

Sorry, just felt the thread title was a bit over the top for such an easily solved issue. Almost posted a link, but my phone kinda jacked it up and i decided it wasn't worth the time to go back and try again.

What really sucks is having to go back to reading help manuals and watching videos again, for something you really dont want to change to. LOL.

FYI mikedocy...............AD2 was one of my key VSTs for testing.
I trust ( and hope) you haven't paid for a new DAW yet ..... PS....I have paid for a DUD only days ago' and regret it bitterly .....that's another story).
However, If you have not checked out 'Reaper' , my best advice is to download and put it on the test table.
Personally, as a 90s+ Cakewalk user ( PS: that's not my age) .............I am currently testing 'REAPER' and it is ticking all the boxes (VSTs etc) hands down......including AD2 multiple drum tracks recognition / inclusion .
OK, It is a different method to Sonar to insert all the AD2 tracks into Reaper.....Dont ask me how I did it just now......... (still just buzzing about testing other reaper possibilities )....But I DO know it is possible with easy input from your good self.
PS: Reaper seems to have a video on just about everything........which is a VERY nice to have.

Thanks abacab. Good video. 
I think I have it now. I did do some previous google searching but could not find anything.
I was also trying to get Kontakt to do the same thing which increased the frustration level.
LOL.

Thanks, Frank.
Reaper is a really good daw. The technical ability of Reaper surpasses all other daws.
It works nicely with hardware audio interfaces that refuse to work in other daws.
It is very efficient with cpu cycles.
The price is excellent.

I think the best thing to do with any new DAW is not try to make it work like Sonar.

Yes. Moving to another DAW is going to have its frustrations, whether it be Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, etc. Fact is, they are all great DAWs. But you have to put the time and effort in to learn it. Like death and taxes.. No way around it. Sometimes it's painful. The important thing is: Patience.

Re: Studio One sucks 2017/12/03 06:23:24 (permalink)
I am a Sonar and studio one user. I was able to figure how to setup multiple outs by messing around with the buttons without looking at manual or google. My point is that certain aspects of studio one is really intuitive. It is designed from the ground up by people who were behind Cubase. It must be pretty good daw because so many people are switching to it from Protools, Cubase and now Sonar. When I read the title I had a feeling that the problem is from the user and not the program itself.

Exactly. Use it as it was designed to be used. It's not Sonar it will work differently.
But saying "It Sucks" because you can't work it out does the product a disservice.

Great!
 
I'll admit to being frustrated by Reaper like that at times.  I have been messing with that for some time now, and while I think it is a very powerful DAW, nothing in that is intuitive for me and I end up having to read the manual for ANYTHING simple that I could do in Sonar!
 
I much prefer Studio One, if I must leave Sonar behind... at least I find it 85% intuitive... and with plenty of info online if I need it!
