Taking an inclusive approach, Gary Hiebner explores the ins and outs of rewiring PreSonus Studio One with other audio software.

You may be using other audio applications such as Live or Reason. But what if you want to somehow integrate or sync your other audio software with Studio One. This can be done via ReWire. ReWire is a protocol that was developed by Propellerhead to allow you to integrate Reason with your other DAW applications, but the protocol has become such a standard household name that it has been taken up by many other software audio developers so that you can sync more than one audio application to the other. In this article, let's take a look at how to ReWire Studio One to other audio applications. Studio One will be the master ReWire device and I'll be using Ableton Live as my ReWire slave device, but the same steps can be taken if you're going to be using another piece of audio software with Studio One.

Step 1 - How to Set Up the ReWire Applications

The benefits of syncing two audio applications together is that their tempos will be synced, and when you start playback in one audio application it will trigger the playback in the other. First you need to get to grips with the ReWire terminology. One application will be the ReWire host (in this case it'll be Studio One), and the other will run as the ReWire slave (Live). Another important thing is the order preference that the applications are opened. Launch Studio One first as this is the ReWire host. Once Studio One has launched, create a new song.

Launch Studio One first, and create a new song.

On the right on the Browse Panel, open the Instruments tab, and expand the ReWire folder. If the Browse Panel is not open, click on the Browse button in the bottom right, or use the shortcut F5 and it will open up. Under the ReWire folder, it'll show the ReWire-capable applications installed on your system.

The ReWire-capable applications are shown.

Select the application you want to use and then drag it across to the left-hand side panel to add a ReWire track. This will bring up the ReWire dialog box. Now click on Open application to launch the ReWire slave device. Make sure '˜Allow tempo/signatures changes' is ticked so that the projects sync up with the host. If the application doesn't launch, then go to your ReWire slave application and manually launch it.

The ReWire Dialog Box.

When the application opens, you'll see that it'll say it's running in ReWire slave mode.

And

Ableton Live is running in ReWire Mode.

Step 2 - Check that the Applications are Synced

If you set loop brackets in one application it'll reflect in the other, and if you start playback in, let's say Studio One, Live will start playing as well. Test this out. Change the BPM in one and see how it changes the BPM in the other application. So now you definitely know that they're synced. This means you can run your Live or Reason project side by side with Studio One. If you open the Mixer in Studio One, you'll see a channel strip representing the stereo out of your ReWire slave device. You can add extra processing to this channel strip.

The stereo output of the ReWire slave application appears in the Mixer.

Step 3 - Using Multiple Outs with the Busses

The above example allows you to hear the master output of your ReWire slave device in Studio One. But what if you want to be able to hear each individual ReWire track in Studio One, so that you can mix them differently? That's where Studio One's ReWire busses come in handy.

First you need to configure the ReWire slave device to send its individual tracks to different outputs. I'm working with Live, so I'll demonstrate how this is done, but the same principles apply if you're using another ReWire slave. Instead of sending each track to the master output, send it to another ReWire output. In Live you set the Audio to: ReWire Out and then select a ReWire bus under this box. See how I have chosen different busses for each track.

Changing the ReWire slave outputs in Ableton Live.

Now in Studio One, press F3 to open the Mix console and open the Instr tab on the left. Click on the small arrow in the bottom left of your ReWire device and choose Expand, this will expand to show you the available ReWire busses.

Click on Expand to show the ReWire busses.

Tick the busses that you want to be able to see in Studio One. Now in the Mixer view you have individual channel strips for the different ReWire tracks, so you can change the volume levels, pan settings and add different processing onto each track. Rename these so that they correlate with the tracks in your ReWire slave application.

Rename the ReWire tracks and you can start mixing!

Step 4 - Using ReWire Instruments in Studio One

What if you want to be able to use the instruments in your ReWire slave device in Studio One? Let's take a look at how this is set up. In Studio One, create an Instrument track (Track > Add Track, and under Type select Instrument). Name the track the name of the instrument you're going to be using. Now on Output, select Existing Instrument and on the box under this select the ReWire slave application you're using, and then expand this folder to choose the instrument you want to assign it to.

Choosing a ReWire instrument.

Now play on your MIDI keyboard and you'll hear how you're triggering your ReWire slave instrument through Studio One.

This way you can record your MIDI in Studio One, but it will be using your ReWire slave instruments. If you press record you'll see how the MIDI note data is recorded onto this Studio One instrument track. How neat is that? This allows you to contain your MIDI information in your project so that you can edit and process the instrument within Studio One.

When you're finished with all your ReWire composing, make sure to quit your ReWire slave device first, and then Studio One. If you try quitting Studio One first an error message will come up letting you know that you need to quit the other application first.

Conclusion

That's how to take advantage of Studio One's ReWire capabilities so that you can sync it with other ReWire-enabled audio applications. It works seamlessly and lets you edit and process your ReWire audio and instruments even further if you wish. So if you're using application like Reason or Live, ReWire them to Studio One and take your productions to another level.

Hi all.
I am music enthusiast, and was considering getting Artist version of the the software, unfortunately INABILITY of using VST is just big NO!!! for me.
I have bought IK, IN plugins and bunch of others over the past decade, as you normally do, lol.
However, THE fact that you have to pay an extra!!! for using something which IMHO should be included in that particular version anyway is one big nonsense!
I guess, it is all about the $, and not about the Artists, at least not about those who are able to only afford Studio One 3 Artist.
Studio One 3 Professional is one big whoop bleep, hats off.
however how many of us will be able to reach in to our pockets and pull out $400/£279?
How about other software? and I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT ALL OUT VERSIONS, budget one around $100.
Lets do honest comparison of Studio One 3 Artist vs SONAR vs Cubase Elements 8 vs Reason vs. etc...
I have a question, what is the point of introducing mid range of soft, calling it Artist and than locking your instruments away?
anyway,
regards
JB

I think you answered your own questions. For me, I have tried all the major DAW's for years. About 5 years ago when I tried SO v1.0 I was blown away and the simplicity of workflow. They focused on the artist workflow and simplicity to create good music without having to be a pro engineer.
I'm a professional-self taught hack and I was able to do the impossible relative to creating music. Presonus in my eyes speaks not only to the 'Newbs' but is now in the sites of major recording studios.
Without sounding argumentative, this comes down to supporting a solution that supports you. Try out Artist, if you like the workflow and simplicity. If you like the ease of use and the ability to create without having to feel like you need to be a pro engineer....then why wouldn't you simply save up and buy this product?

You can always go for the VST and AU and Rewire Support so your Artist can host VST's.
Alternatively, if you don't want to many limits, you can also go for the cheaper Reaper or Tracktion to use your VST's in.
You can only decide what is worth what..

Sure, but I think you missed the point,
well I was asking about ppl opinions,
I think that creating lock for the VST/AU is not what you would normally expect when you are paying $100 for software, isn't it?
I don't understand why to disable those necessary (at least in my case) option and than ask for another $100 to unlock them?
Not cool.
I would preferred if PS put the product together and asked for the price, it's like a add-on in full versions of games on mobile/tablet, well you can play for certain time, when you used it all allowance you can always go to adds-on and get whatever is needed to extend the time for certain fee.
I guess everything will be fine until VST to let say violin would be needed.

Sure,
I like how the soft works, user friendly, I like it.
I've noticed that you are using Studio One 3 Professional, your argument is coming from totally different angle. I don't know how PS supporting artists by limiting IMHO access to VST, I think they supporting themselves by charging extra, for something what is available in competitive softs.
You are right about workflow and simplicity, as I stated above it's user friendly. However can we look at comparing Artist as it is without extension/add-on (cause that would be $200) and then have an objective discussion.
Kind regards

Maybe they should set the price for Artist at $180.00, but give a discount of $80 if you only use the native plugins.
Atari 5200, 64K RAM S1PRO Radio Shack Cassette Recorder w/internal Mic, and too many plugins.

I agree with the OP on this one. Studio One is pretty much the only DAW that doesn't have 3rd party plugin support with their entry level software. Here's a quote from me over a year ago when I was considering different DAWs.
miked7 wrote...I'm new to DAWs and have been running the Studio One Professional Demo and I just didn't realize about the 3rd party plug-ins until my Demo ran out. ...(Sonar) supports my plug-ins which are already purchased, Reaper supports them, and Traction 6 supports them, and (I think, but not positive) Mixcraft 7 supports them - all at the entry level purchase price. So why doesn't Studio One? ...

Yes, Mixcraft also supports 3rd party plug-ins with their entry level DAW.

You can add AudioDesk by MOTU and FL Studio to that list as well.
FWIW, if you don't already have one, you could buy a Presonus audio interface (which comes with Artist) and learn the native plugins, which are really good, then wait for a sale down the road and upgrade at a discount.
To answer the question in the title of the thread - yes! Absolutely! Studio One rocks!
