Hey everyone, very new to this sort of thing and have a few questions about using Studio One to capture live performances coming through m Behringer X Air mixer.
As I understand it, I can basically capture the right and left stereo mixes in Studio One? Not, the individual mixer channels (would like to grab those as tracks, but that needs something more, right?).
So far, I have been able to get Studio One to recognize the mixer- the problem I am having is when I 'create a new song' how do I get the mixer output into Studio One to record? I have tried adding tracks, but no luck.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give here. I am thinking it is a simple thing, but I have so little mixing/recording experience with a DAW not sure where to go with it.

At the bare minimum you'll need a 2 channel audio interface to convert the analog signals (main l and r outputs of the XAir18) into digital signals so the computer can understand it. Ideally you could get a 16 channel audio interface and grab all the tracks.

Thanks Walt. So it looks like I am shy a critical piece of equipment. I have the AudioBox iOne, but it only has a single mic input, and I wasn't able to get the mixer and it to work together anyway.
What I did was hook up a mic'ed amp to the mixer, then the mixer to the AudioBox with the USB cable, but got nothing.
Anyway, it is all moot since I apparently need something like this:

The xr18 IS an audio/midi interface already. You don’t need any extra harware for your recordingsto work.
The xr18 is an 18in/18out audio interface and in the companion apps you can setup the routing and record however you want into your daw of choise.
You don’t mention what version of studio one you are using but the artist version can only record two tracks at a time.

Your right! I should have

Oh, okay, thanks for the further responses! I am using Studio One Artist, so I guess I have will just have the two inputs? Can those two inputs be the L/R stereo inputs out of the mixer? Not sure how to get those to appear as tracks. I don't need multiple channels necessarily, just want to get the mixed sound into S1 so I can create songs, mix them a bit post-recording, and label them.

In the xr18 routing menu goto ‘usb outputs’ and select for e.g. usb1 and usb2 to be MAINL & MAINR.
This will give you your xr18 main stereo out into your daw.

Waves Tracks Live can record the XR18 and then you can add the wave files to S1. You can also use Audio Evolution on Android or iOS or other apps to multitrack your live session and then add to S1.
Good luck.

wonder6oy wrote..and by 'Bad Edits', I mean tracks that have been rendered and sent to you without proper crossfading, resulting in loud 'pop's and 'click's.
In Pro Tools, it's just a matter of pulling up the pencil tool and drawing them out - literally a 5-second process. And when that fails, I use Izotope RX to do the job.
But neither of those are an option in S1, and I need a solution going forward because I have to deal with these ALL the time.
Any help appreciated!

I cut and fade the edge of the clip. I do this a lot for taking the fret click out of bass at the beginning of notes.
Hit 3 on the keyboard to bring up the 'Cut' tool, then leave my hand there and hit 1 to bring up the normal tool and grab the edge of the clip.
I've used the draw tool in other DAWs and this way is much fast to me.

I wouldn't want them wasting time developing audio editing and embedding it, but partnering with someone to have a light version that does the basics through ARA and give you the option to upgrade if you need more advanced tools would be really nice. I mean, that was the whole purpose of ARA from the git go, wasn't it?

Exactly.
If the devs do not want to do this right (or at all) - they should at least allow clean passage of audio to a designated editor and leave it at that.
I too use RX but the fact that RX Connect simply does not work in S1 makes it is disappointing waste of time when apps like Nuendo/Cubase can use this like a dream.
Time for Presonus to get off it's 'closed' sandbox approach and offer the ability to pass audio back and forth between some standard editors out there. (please consider RX and/or Wavelab as starters )

Skaperverket wroteI've created a macro called 'Bounce to Finder' with
Bounce Selection [Snap ('0')]
Select in Pool
Show in Explorer/Finder
but for some reason S1 won't focus on the Browser window and the Pool when 'Select in Pool' is applied and the Pool is opened, so I have to do the Show in Finder command separately.

I ran in to that same issue when creating a drag location macro for non VST-XML sample players. What I did was adding the following before executing Show in Explorer/Finder:

This thread is a little old and may have been lost but it also goes into this and shows how I do editing anyway:
viewtopic.php?f=151&t=18309
I use an editing program on a mother machine networked to my main machine running Studio One. This works rather well in fact. You can open files that are even active in a Studio One session. Edit them and resave them with a slight title change and they can be easily dragged into the session.
I find editors like Cool Edit Pro (Audition) are very fast and slick at editing audio. Might be good to have a range of built in basic edit operations though.

Thanks, niles. Loving it. And daw.one is back! I have a long train ride tomorrow, so it'll be a perfect opportunity to read up on your great site. Looking forward to it. Keep up the great work, mate.

Hi all, went ahead and got RX6 during a recent upgrade promo but have run foul of the convoluted working method mentioned above!
I know that Studio One is not supported by RX6 (anyone know why?) but had assumed that the workflow shown in the videos relating to RX4 and previous version/s of S1 (links posted by Skapervet) would suffice, however, even those clunky workflows are not working with my setup utilising Windows 10 pro/S1v3.5../RX6.
I can get the Connect & Monitor plugs to work, after a fashion, but even the Izotope suggested work-around for non-supported DAWs does not work and the combination of RX6 standalone with S1 is tenuous at best.
Having said that, RX6 does offer a good set of restoration repair tools just don't expect the software to play nicely with S1... Yet!!!! Perhaps this is why there is a conspicuos lack of tutorials (or any updatee videos from S1 Expert) relating to this. If you know different, please inform.
