<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhat are Shows in Studio One 5?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Shows <\/strong>are a new feature in Studio One 5. When working with Shows<\/em>, <\/em>you can create setlists, making it much easier to run an entire live show on just one computer. It\u2019s like taking your studio on the road! The way it works is that you create a setlist, insert the number of songs for your setlist, add the Players<\/em> in the band (including backing tracks)<\/em>, and start playing. You can also import current Studio One projects into a show. The amount of control you have in live settings is endless using Shows<\/em>!
<\/p>\n\n\n\nA good example is for solo artists who use Studio One performing at a coffee house. If you have percussion in your recording, but can\u2019t have a live drummer, just connect your interface to your laptop, create a Show<\/em>, import the drums as a backing track and press play.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother great reason you might want to use a Show <\/em>in Studio One is to use the plug-in effects that are available. Each song can have different effect chains (known as Patches)<\/em>, which means that you can change from a clean sound in one song to a distorted sound in the next.

<\/div>\n\n\n\nNavigating the Shows window<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s navigate the Shows<\/em> window in Studio One to give you a better idea of how everything works. You\u2019ll work with five windows when working with a show: Setlist, Overview, Mixer, Controls, <\/em>and Perform<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Setlist<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Setlist <\/em>section on the left of the Shows<\/em> window is where you’ll build your setlist and update each song’s properties (i.e., tempo, BPM, length of the song<\/em>). This means you don’t have to write those down on a bar napkin any longer! You can also add the artist’s name, venue, and upload a picture. This is especially useful if you’re playing multiple gigs and want to change up your setlist a little bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nOverview<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Overview<\/em> is the \u201ctimeline\u201d for your show. From here, you can update the name of the setlist, add the Players<\/em>, recall patches you\u2019ve created, and save patches for tracks you\u2019ve created. You can also rename the setlist and change each color of the Players<\/em>, which makes it helpful to distinguish which track is which, particularly in lower light settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nMixer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you create a Player<\/em> in the Overview <\/em>window, a new channel is created in the Mixer<\/em> area of the Shows<\/em> window. The mixer is the same as the one used when you\u2019re recording a song in Studio One. Adding inserts and any routing can be saved as a patch.

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nControls<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have a MIDI controller like a Faderport <\/a>or ATOM<\/a>, you can assign them to change different parameters like panning, volume, and even effects! The ways you can control Players<\/em> essentially turns your laptop into a digital mixer! There are four different Control views available. Depending on the controller you\u2019re using, you may want to choose one over the other, but find the one you prefer, and you\u2019ll be set.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Studio](\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2020\/07\/Studio-One-5-Show-Controls-window.png\")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nPerform<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once everything is set up the way you want it, you can now go into the Perform <\/em>window. This gives you a stripped-down version of everything you\u2019ve created, so you don\u2019t have to worry about the clutter like seeing the Browser <\/em>or Mixer <\/em>windows. You can select players and change their patches on the fly, view the time, master output level, and have basic transport controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
