asked Feb 7, 2021 in Studio One 5 by derekanthony2 (130 points)
My external hard drive is working fine, shows up and everything but the problem is a week ago I was using Studio One very fast, it was easy to search files on from my external hard drive, if I was working with a BPM of 140, I'd go into browse and search my external for "140" boom every file that has 140 in the name popped up, very convenient for workflow. The problem is now it doesn't work, I go to files in the browser, search my external and it's not showing the items now, even after resetting the settings I still face this problem. Highly upset because I bought Studio One to increase my workflow but now it's slowing down. Defeats the whole purpose of buying it.

Studio One has nothing to do with your file system or how you have your files indexed or how well your system is optimize for file searches.

It uses common utilities built into your O/S.

I'm pretty sure you'd see the same performance if you did the same thing (on your system) with Pro Tools, Cakewalk, Vegas, Reaper, Cubase, etc.
