Question

OK, so I am using Audiobox USB and StudioOne 3.  Just a simple voice mic and acoustic guitar in the two channels type setup.  But I need to know if there is a way to set up automatic volume envelopes on each track so the soft, more intimate parts of a song are not too soft and the louder, more bombastic parts don't make my ears bleed.  To do this by hand with the Bend Tool is a pain.  I just want an automatic range, "No softer than THIS and no louder than THIS," without getting a harsh clip off.

This is my first recording software, and though I have performed in studio before I have never been on the engineering end.

Any pointers?

Answer 1

Studio One does not currently have that feature.   You can purchase third party plugins that will accomplish that and one example is Auto Gain by Hornet:  https://www.hornetplugins.com/plugins/hornet-autogain/

If you search Google you'll find a few more similar plugins.
