Quietly wroteMy main gripe is that when you have an instrument track coloured and then bounce it, it changes the bounced track to the next colour on the palette. On the basis that I could be regarded as senile I am convinced that bouncing a track should not change its colour. I could moan about other things but its too hot and I am melting. That's a good one, I forgot about. That is a nuts and bolts matter IMO. If I'm copying a guitar track elsewhere, why is the color changing? Convenience? Precedence over common sense? Variety is the spice of life? Please tell me. When I reach into a bag of M&M's, I expect a color change. Not when pasting a track, or item.

I wanted to say "agreed" but then I realized you are not talking about transforming an instrument track to an audio track. This won't change the color. If you bounce an event to a new track, this obviously creates a new track and this new track gets a new color as usual. Lokeyfly wroteThat's a good one, I forgot about.

@ jazzundso: I can verify where later today. Colors do change but I have to recall where and how. Will report back.
I never said duplicate, I stated copy and paste.

Lokeyfly wroteI never said duplicate, I stated copy and paste. You can't copy and paste tracks in Studio One. You can copy and paste events - but this does not change the color either. So what did you mean if not duplicate? Lokeyfly wroteColors do change but I have to recall where and how. Will report back. Okay. We're talking about details here so these details (where and how) obviously matter.

Will check in just a few hours. Away from Studio One. It may be as Quietly mentions with a bounce not from instrument to audio. That remains. I just recall from memory thinking why am I getting a different color there. Anyway, it's something to investigate.
Though if we're pursuing details, I hope we can get off the subject of color.

There is a developer that has an alternative color option. It's unclear to me if it's free, donationware or shareware.
https://s1scripts.wixsite.com/colortoolbar |
It's a scripting extension, not a macro. Macros are just plain Studio One commands everybody can create...
And yes, it's free...!

So I tried the color copy and pasting. What I've found is for example in the case of two instrument tracks. If the first track is designated green, and I copy two events also green and on that track.
I select a track that is brown for sake of example. I paste so the events paste to that same place on the brown track. The green events change to brown. However, I really can't fault that as the track holds to that color. The down side is it would be beneficial though if the colors of the pasted events held because it could be very clear that the event has a commonality to its origin. Those same green tracks. Yes, the bars inside the event shown through represent some of that note/chord structure, but that isn't really anything to bank on. How I would fix this on the fly is check the swatch of the original events and duplicate as I went along. A bit cludgy, but it works. I understand others may work differently. You see, especially as a drummer, (and other instruments) I like associating same and different rhythms on different tracks. Especially polyrythms. Having events presented in the same color across different tracks even with their own track color is very visual and very helpful. Can I call this a fault? Possibly not. Can I suggest the ability to gave the option of retaining even colors pasted across ither tracks? Yes. I also tried duplcate + drag to drag and paste to another track but no go. Not a major issue but a slight dissapointment.

You can have what you want but you need to understand how event colors work
By default, events don't have a color. Well, they have, but not an own color. They inherit the color of the track. Try it out: Add a track and add some empty events. Now change the color of your track. You see that the events change the color according to the track. The same happens if you move the event to a different track. They have the "none" color Now right-click an event and choose a custom color for your event. For example, on the red track, make the event yellow. Now change the track color again. You will see that the event keeps its color. You can do this with all events on your track. Select them all (by the way, the shortcut for this is shift + doubleclick on some empty space on the track) and give them a color. The events now have they own color and keep it - even if you move it to other tracks. How to reset the color again? Very easy: Just right-click the event(s) and choose the "None" color (on the bottom-right). Now the events will reflect the color of their track again. That's how event colors work in Studio One. Maybe I'll do a video on that.

Jazzundso wrote: "How to reset the color again? Very easy: Just right-click the event(s) and choose the "None" color (on the bottom-right). Now the events will reflect the color of their track again." Ah, this I wasn't clear on. Good to know. Thanks. Yeah, the coloring of events themselves I knew about and that they hold their color. I think this is a good opportunity to suggest that more color swatches would be very helpful. From Studio One, not a script. Though I still use Lawrence's original script he added to the forum. It's quite helpful. I've also modified it with various shades of gray that help me a lot. Those limited Studio One pastel basic colors with like 10 versions of blue but few of another color are reeeeeeaaaallllly long in the tooth. But as we know, we're sort of chatting about spilled milk (not an issue). But if we're being honest in the way of improvements, I think people have a case with asking for core color benefits at this point in Studio One's evolution. Cheers!

reggie1979beatz wrotejazzundso wroteBy default, events don't have a color. I'll look at home, I have a color toolbar (script) to send you. It has a group that is dedicated to grays so you get several groups of their own swatches and one groups specifically for gray. Or load the existing one that's a script and floating around to create your own. I think that was modified and revised by Trucky? Either way, they're easy to install and modify.

The color toolbar (of the Lawrence/Trucky lineage) is awesome. For those who haven't yet discovered it, it's a huge/vast/massive/gigantic improvement over the native color palette. Did I mention huge?
And yes, it's free. But you still have to make the effort to download and install it. Sorry, not exceptions.

Yes, indeed. And it's the perfect tool in combination with Navigation Essentials which lets you select tracks by color (or select tracks that have the same color)
