asked Jun 1, 2017 in Studio One 3 by hughross (190 points)
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?

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.
