The I/O setup is stored with each song. At this time there is no option to create a setup than can be exported or imported from one song to another.
You can for new songs create a template and then use the template for the basis of the new song.

Thanks.

What a drag.

When you set up your I/O there is an option to save as default, this way it will always load for all new songs. See attached.

I am running Studio One on both a Mac and a Windows machine. On the Windows machine the I/O setup is set and fixed. On the Mac I am using up to three different interfaces. (it is a mobile setup for me e.g. on location) I have set up all three I/O setups. What I find is as soon as I plug any of the three interfaces in, the correct I/O setup automatically comes up and is in position ready to go. So Studio One must have the ability to remember more than one I/O setup in fact. It just needs the right interface to select it. But this does not help the OP I know.

When I record on the Mac and backup the files to an external drive, I then connect that drive to the Windows machine and transfer sessions over. The Windows machine is attempting to find an I/O setting that is not there, in fact so all I have to do is just reassign the main outs to my Windows interface and all is well again.

Yeah, I'm aware of this, thanks. I have an awesome default set up, but can't import it to old songs.

I'm opening old songs created on an old interface and have to set up my I/O each time. This would be easy if we were just talking about assigning Main Outs, but I'm analog summing and bussing to Antelope FX. Quite a bit of set up for each time.

What happens when you connect your newer interface first and then select it as the interface in Studio One which you can do. Then, open an older song. As per my post the later I/O setting should simply come into play. Are there two different interfaces involved here? Or is it a case of the same interface with two different I/O settings.

I've just completed a mix project with my new default I/O on my new interface, and then went to open old projects and they are still based on the old interface. No two interfaces, just my new one replacing my old one at all times.

When I open I/O setup, the correct interface is displayed at the top of the screen, but the old interface I/O labels are there in the matrix.

Not happenin. Oh well. Seems like it should be easy to import another I/O setup. Disappointing discovery!

It has been a feature request for many years.

Actually before the Answers voting system so it might not be there but was in the old forum 5 years ago.

Ther needs to be an I/O template system based on the hardware and saved independently of the songs. Currently, there is not.

The real issue is there is only a small percentage of people who change interfaces regularly and the interest just does not build the need up to a point they would do something about it.
Here is a fairly recent one

Thanks... agree with you completely!

I have realised there may be an explanation of what I experiencing. I have setup my iMac for two complete audio interfaces. One a RME Fireface 800 and the other a Focusrite Clarett. These are on the Firewire 800 port and the Thunderbolt ports respectively.

No matter what song I open, old or new the correct Input/Output setup loads up. So I don't have to do anything. It is all ready to go. Studio One must be storing both these setups in my case and puling the right one out when needed. Sierra may be storing the In/Out setups as they relate to each port being used.

It may not happen with multiple audio interfaces on the same port. e.g. USB, Firewire, Thunderbolt. (As they relate to Apple)

If you set up a song on interface A and save it it stores that interface and the I/O names with the song.
If you do the same with interface B it does the same.

The issue is when you switch the interface you originally used it will have the wrong and often null inputs or outputs.


Other DAWs detect and change from the original interface and ask what should be the new routing.

S1 does not.

People like it when it stores the inteface configurations and names with the device instead of only in the song.

Open old song, make I/O adjustments, then "save as" with new description. Next time you load it will be "correct" I/O. Stupid work around and don't know if it would be practical for you. As Jeff stated, been requested for years but not enough folks pushing it.

Has this been addressed in the subsequent 3 years?

I've mapped out 40 odd songs with drums ready to go for recording. I'm a couple of weeks away from setting up all the physical i/o in terms of multiple preamps plus hardware comps and eq so that tracking and mixing can start.

I was expecting or hoping to be able to just impose a Studio One i/o template over all 40 odd tracks that will accurately reflect the i/o situation I'll have in place...replacing the old i/o setup I used to get the drums in place.

If not I think the best way will be to simply create a default i/o setup in Studio One and then open a new song for each of the 40 songs and import track by track into the new song.

Which is a pretty tedious route.

Audio IN/OUT setups can be easily stored and recalled any time. They can be recalled over existing open songs too.
