Question

I have a multi song set, each produced mixed and mastered in their own Studio One session. I have to perform the set, which requires the import of all the songs into one session to run concurrently. 

I can consolidate the sessions but by so much. Certain bus' must be present to retain the sound of the corresponding song. 

As you can imagine one song ends, another begins, along routings through automation and at a reduced sample rate to run the live vocal performance through, it is necessary to activate and deactivate entire audio fx chains

I propose this

upon choosing this option, resulting in a dialog box warning 

before allowing the functionality of the feature.

I am aware of the issues this may cause both sonically and with regards to latency 

Please make it available. 

**UPDATE**

Mute masks the audible effects of deactivating/activating plugins and fx chains

Answer 1

I have a low powered computer I can't run large sessions either

need

Answer 2

Or automate the enable all disable all in the dropdown menu of the track/bus/fx in the console

Answer 3

I have a mix I'm doing on a Maschine VST and I'm making use of all 16 outputs to the S1 mixer and each of the channels are plugin heavy, some with automation even. I find myself going back and forth to the different outputs and turning off whole FX chains and muting the channel just to hear different sections of the song. I haven't been able to actually begin arranging the song yet. Its so time consuming.

If we had this feature, I could probably get lost into making a more complex track but atleast I can get on with the song

Answer 4

OH YEAH! I checked the mute way. It works.

Im thinking MACRO - mute bus - deactivate fx - unmute bus

Answer 5

ailton3 you sound like me. I wish you the best! Im currently mixing stems on a project thats also consolidated into one song file. I did most of the work in their own sessions but putting them together is another stage that Im sure Studio One can handle. At first I didn't think much of this feature request, but now that I'm here, Im seeing how more and more valuable it will be down the line. My work flow , the overall finished product. Im forcing farts while I leave this comment. 

Answer 6

"Presonus Studio One has become such a formidable tool"

I will be free to say unequivocally when this functionality is in the DAW

Answer 7

UGH .             .

Answer 8

I am not sure sure but i think Ableton does automate plugins on/off
Maybe rewire Ableton into S1 and have it do the heavy lifting from there.

I can see how this will be a problem for sessions using the splitter  (which i use A LOT) within fx chains.
Because of it, Ableton wouldn't be a possible option for me but for anyone else, you might consider other methods

Answer 9

There is music that exists beyond the conventional session. Push the boundaries forward so that we may continue to advance
