Navigating the Studio One environment

Music production requires a great deal of mental concentration. From the moment you start creating your first musical idea all the way to mastering a finished song, you need to be in the flow and fully focused on what you’re trying to achieve. One common source of distraction is the DAW software itself. It’s hard to immerse yourself in a project when the user interface keeps getting in the way.

Being able to navigate effectively inside a project is a crucial skill that most people tend to overlook. Time and again, I see students get lost amidst the tracks in their projects and lose their concentration, looking for something on the interface, only to miss a precious moment of inspiration.

This section will introduce a skill set that you will use in the following chapters and in all your future projects. So, make a point of coming back here from time to time to see whether you’re up to speed with all the best practices...
