Creating a Song

Step 4
Please Note: MIDI data does not contain audio signals. To hear your sound module, you must connect
the audio output of the sound module to a FireStudio Project audio input, then connect the FireStudio
Project's audio outputs to a sound system. (You also can listen on headphones, using the FireStudio
Project's headphone output.) When you are ready to mix your Song, you must convert the recorded
MIDI data to an audio waveform by recording a new audio track.
Adding Virtual Instruments and Plug-in Effects to your Song
You can add plug-ins and Instruments to your Song by dragging-and-dropping from the browser. You
can also drag an effect or group of effects from one channel to another, drag in customized effects
chains, and instantly load your favorite virtual-instrument patch without ever scrolling through a menu.
Opening the Browser
Drag and Drop Virtual
Instruments
At the bottom of the Inspector menu, you will see your
Bank and Program selections. From here, you can
remotely change the patch on your sound module.
In the lower right corner of the Arrange window are three
buttons. The Edit button opens or closes the Audio editor
or the MIDI piano-roll editor, depending on what type of
track is selected. The Mix button opens and closes the
mixer window.
The Browse button opens the Browser window, which
displays all of the available virtual instruments, plug-in
effects, audio files, and MIDI files, as well as the pool of
audio files loaded into the current session.
To add a virtual instrument to your session, click the
Browse and Instrument buttons to open the Instrument
Browser. Select the instrument or one of its patches from
the Instrument Browser and drag it into the Arrange view.
Studio One Artist will automatically create a new track
and load the Instrument as the input.
