Question

In Adobe Audition, if I select a part of a soundwave, cut it out, Audition automatically removes the space that is left and moves the front of the soundwave back, keeping the soundwave as one unit. Is this possible in Studio One? I can't find anything addressing this kind of workflow.

In Studio One, selecting a piece of soundwave and cutting it always splits the file and leaves a blank space. I can then move the various pieces back and forth. However, any addition edit requires me to move every individual bits of the sound wave back together. This doesn't seem like it's a working solution but yet no search string in google will bring up an answer to what seems like a basic question.

So, sorry to bother you but is it possible to cut soundwaves as easily as in Audition or is Studio One not really the right program for this kind of workflow?

Also, I have yet to find a good guide (text or video) that can adequately teach the basics of Studio One. If you know of one, I'd appreciate a link.

Thank you for your time helping noobs!

Answer 1

If you want to move around different bits of unconnected audio that way make them into an audio part by selecting them and hitting G.   An audio part can have an unlimited number of regions inside but one clip container on the track.

As for training, look in your user account and you'll see lots of videos on the Studio One basics.

Answer 2

Thanks a lot for your answers. I really appreciate it and I can see how this feature essentially solves my problem.

The videos you mention are fantastic but coming from Audition and some Pro Tools, there are little detail-related question about the work flow minutia that can snag my learning curve. I'll keep looking but thanks again for your answer!

You're very welcome.   

The way to move Studio One's editing or behavioral workflow more towards what you may be accustomed to with another product is with macros.   Whether it's PT, Audition, whatever else, you won't be able to exactly duplicate everything but you can get a lot closer by using macros.

So that might be something you'd want to dive into.
