Editing

After recording, the next step in production is usually editing the recorded Events to achieve a
desired sound. The following chapter discusses aspects of editing in Studio One, including
Arrange view and Edit view editing, mouse tools, Event envelopes, edit groups,
timestretching, comping, integrated Melodyne pitch correction, and transient detection and
editing.

Events

All audio and musical data that exists within the timeline of your Song are visually represented
by Events. Events that contain audio are called Audio Events and can only be located on Audio
Tracks. Audio Events are distinct in that they display audio waveforms. Audio Parts are Events
that contain multiple Audio Events.
Events that contain musical data are called Instrument Parts and can only be located on
Instrument Tracks. Instrument Parts are distinct in that they display musical-performance
information.
Audio Events and Instrument Parts are referred to collectively as Events in this manual. Event
editing can take place both in the Arrange view and the Edit view. Audio Events and
Instrument Parts can be edited in similar ways, but each has special considerations.
Right [Control]-clicking on any Event will display the Event contextual menu, which contains
all related Editing actions, logically grouped. At the top of the contextual menu, you will find
the Event Name, which can be edited by double-clicking on it and entering a new name. You
can rename all events on a Track by renaming the Track and holding [Shift] while pressing
[Enter] after typing in the new name. You can also change the Event color by clicking on the
color bar next to its name and selecting a color or scrolling through the colors with the mouse
wheel.
