In each tab a Matrix Routing view shows the current configuration, with the vertical columns indicating hardware audio device channels (hardware I/O) and the horizontal rows indicating created software I/O channels. In the Audio I/O Setup menu there are two tabs: one for input configuration and one for output configuration. As discussed below in Default Device I/O Setup, a default I/O setup can be created so that each new Song defaults to a particular I/O setup if you desire. The configuration of the Audio I/O Setup is done within each Song, so that it is possible for each Song to have a separate I/O setup. To view this menu and set up a default I/O configuration for each Song, create a new Song by clicking on Create New Song in the Start Page and navigate to Song/Song Setup/Audio I/O Setup. The input sources and output destinations made available to each Track are determined by the software I/O channel configuration created in the Audio I/O Setup menu. Audio I/O Setup MenuĮach Track in a Song receives a signal from an input source and routes to an output destination. This is possible because Studio One stores I/O configurations with your Song, per computer and per audio device driver, ensuring that your Song remains highly portable and is never “broken” by changing audio devices. You can do the same thing if you need to open the Song on your laptop using its built-in audio hardware. When you get back to your studio, the original I/O configuration for the Song is automatically loaded for you, as if you never left. Simply connect your friend’s hardware audio device channels to the correct software I/O channels.

This setup affords many advantages over the traditional method.įor instance, let’s say you produce a Song in your studio, using a multi-channel interface, then take your Song file to your friend’s studio, where you use a different audio interface. In Studio One, there is a layer of software I/O (input and output) channels between your hardware audio device channels and your Tracks. In most recording applications, audio tracks are directly correlated to the channels of your hardware audio device. Audio Device Input/Output Setup Software I/O Channels
