But we, and they, both know the reality is that session interchange is just plain necessary in many situations, and desirable in many more. AAFĭAW manufacturers, for the most part, would rather that everyone work in their product and not take their data carousing around to other DAWs.

Mixer channels are imported, as well as tracks, including all plug-ins (assuming they are also all installed on the destination system). As one would hope, ticking the box for a folder also ticks the boxes for the individual tracks in the folder - a handy shortcut. Looking at the icons here shows that folders can be imported.

One more thing to notice here is the track list on the left side of the dialogue. Keep in mind that copying files to the song folder when the Layers box is ticked can result in a lot more data getting copied. This is a familiar option when saving a copy of an entire session, but the ability to do so when importing tracks is also very useful in many situations, such as the remote collaboration scenario mentioned above, where a master session from everyone’s contributions can be compiled with all tracks integrated and all of the media local. The other setting to consider, again, unremarkable but useful, is the ‘Copy files to song folder’ tick box. If, on the other hand, you are doing remote collaboration and are importing tracks from your collaborator’s last contribution, you may want access to every take and punch-in that they recorded in order to edit the material yourself. If, for example, you are importing tracks from other sessions to mix, it is reasonable to assume that the tracks are fully edited and you have no need for alternate takes on other layers, so you can leave it unticked. Whether it should be ticked depends on the context. When this is ticked, all of a track’s layers are imported with the track. The first, and perhaps most interesting, is the Layers tick box. Let’s take a moment to note two settings that are important because they provide access to the level of detail you are transporting.

The dialogue it invokes is clear and easy to understand, if a bit less comprehensive than Pro Tools’ Import Session Data dialogue, and there is nothing particularly exotic about what it allows you to do, but track importing is a potent capability for the very many circumstances in which it can be useful. It allows tracks and other relevant data to be imported directly into your song from another Studio One Song document. Screen 1: The Import Song Data dialogue is quite straightforward, but there are features of note.The Import Song Data command in the Song menu is probably the most exciting addition. Studio 4 has added ways to accomplish both those tasks and, oh, the things you can do. One long-standing frustration of working with Studio One has been that there was no way of moving tracks or other data between Studio One Song documents, or to and from a different program. Well, I will write about the Chord track too, once I’ve had a bit more time to dig into it, but this month I’d like to look at a couple of additions that are more utilitarian, but equally important.

Studio One 4 has all kinds of sexy new goodies, like the pattern generator for drums I discussed last month, and the Chord track lots of people seem to be writing about now.

Studio One v4 makes it easy to transfer material between Songs, and even to or from other DAWs.
