Anytime I can learn more about PreSonus Studio One 4 it is a great feeling! I am just a hobbyist and there is so much to learn about using this DAW. On some of the videos I do feel a bit lost and think I probably need to go back a step to a more basic set of training videos then come back and listen again to the Studio One 4 videos and would probably get even more out of them! And this is a great reason to purchase them and have them downloaded on my pc where I can watch them as many times as needed! Overall I have learned so much in a short amount of time that would have taken me a whole lot more time to figure out on my own or by just using the help guide that comes with Studio One 4.

A good place to start learning StudioOne
I'm finding this set of videos very helpful. I'm new to high-powered DAWs, having only used Audacity so far. The lessons are clear and well-presented. My only small quibbles are that sometimes he will refer to a function without telling us what it is, as in "You can use this to do X" but never describing X. I assume I will find out later. And often he will do a mouse-based move very quickly and I have to rewind and watch closely to see where he clicked (a larger cursor would help). Those are nits, though. I'm glad I bought this series.

Excellent Basic Coverage
This course only scratches the surface of Studio One's capabilities, but it scratches it in the right places, providing an appropriate amount of advice and conceptual understanding to go with the how-to coverage.

Really useful!
I decided I needed a DAW with more constructive elements and most importantly one which can integrate with a score editor. I rapidly discovered that Studio One is very different to my previous DAW, hence this course. I found the pace of the course to be exactly right, as is the level of detail. Marcus does an excellent job explaining everything and his level of expertise really shines through. Highly recommended. I shall return to it frequently

Take Two!
I'm fairly new to DAWs and I've found these tutorials very helpful. But I found that I have to watch them twice to really get the value. The first time was a good overview and at times I felt they addressed "how" to do something but not as much "what" the function was used for. The second time was when I'd need something that I had learned was possible, but now I need to learn how to do it. I'm using the videos almost like a user manual. The "just in time" access to them has been very helpful!

What it's butters me it's the Smart Click i hate that i love to drag and move and let where i want. but to select and click so much in every envelop of audio it's doing everytime something. I like to Clik hold move " Fl studio user, Adobe Audition, Cubase also " . But the cours it was awsome.
