PRESONUS AudioBox Stereo Quick Start Manual page 150

The templates can include particular I/O and track setups, effects plug-in and virtual-
instrument processing, and all other aspects of a Song. By default, the Empty Song template is
selected, which will create a completely empty Song with no tracks or preconfigured I/O setup
beyond stereo inputs and outputs.
4.6.2 Create a Song Template
If there is a particular Song setup you will use again and again, it can be helpful to create a
template. To do so, first create a new Empty Song. Next, configure the I/O and create and
configure all tracks, and virtual instruments, effects plug-ins, and any other aspects of the
Song that you need in your template. Then, in the File menu, select Save as Template.
Type in a title and description, choose an image for the Template icon, if you like, and select
OK. You can also drag an image from Windows Explorer/Mac Finder onto the image icon to
use that image. The exact current state of the Song will now be available as a template in the
New Song creation menu.
4.6.3 Title and Location
The title of your Song will be the Song file name (Title.song) and the name of the default folder
that contains all data related to your Song. The default location where new Songs and all
related data will be saved is in your User Data location, under Studio
One/Options/Locations/User Data (Mac OS X: Preferences/Options/Locations/User Data). If
you like, you can choose a different file location by clicking on the New Location button and
browsing to any location.
4.6.4 Sample Rate
"Sample rate" refers to the rate at which incoming analog audio is sampled per second during
conversion to a digital signal. The most common setting is the standard sample rate for audio
CDs: 44.1 kHz, meaning 44,100 samples per second.
The Studio One sample rate should match the sample rate of your audio interface, so by
default, the sample rate is set to your current audio interface's sample rate, and changing this
setting will initiate a sample-rate change in that device. If the sample rates don't match, Studio
One will resample all audio files to match the sample rate of the hardware, but this can cause
performance problems and should be avoided. Studio One is capable of recording at any
sample rate your hardware audio device offers.
Not all devices allow a third-party software application to change the hardware sample rate.
The desired sample rate should be set before creating a New Song.
File size is directly proportional to the sample rate and resolution. The higher the sample rate
and resolution, the larger the resulting audio file will be.
