When a band, artist or producer is working on a song, it is crucial to identify the individual parts of the song as building blocks. These parts can be what we refer as a Verse, Chorus, Bridge, B-Section, etc. The idea of identifying these parts is purely aesthetically and for organization purposes so that all the members of the band know which part to play and where.
Studio One 4 lets the user identify these sections of the song using “Markers”; which are simply flags that let the user know where each part of the song starts.
This tutorial will present a step-by-step guide on how to use Markers in Studio One 4:
- Open a Studio One 4 song:
2. At the top left buttons, click on the “Open Marker Tab”:
The tab will open as:
It is easy to see how Studio One 4 has already created a “Start” marker at the start of measure 1. For the purpose of this tutorial we will create a marker labeled as “Verse” on measure #9.
3. Locate the transport at measure #9 by clicking at the number 9 from the timeline:
4. Click on the “Insert Marker” button from the markers tab:
The “Insert Marker” button is easily recognized because it is simply a + sign:
Once clicked, a new marker labeled as “#2” will be placed on measure #9:
5. Double click on marker labeled “#2″and the “Edit Name” window will appear as:
6. Type the name “Verse”:
7. Click “OK” and the marker will be renamed:
We have successfully created a marker and renamed it for our purpose. The user can now repeat this process for the following markers such as Chorus, Bridge, Solo, etc. The tutorial has now ended.
