Record Plugin Changes Without Losing Your Work | Studio One & Focusrite

Описание: So you want to make a recording showing the features of the latest plugin you just purchased for your DAW. Sounds easy, right? What most beginners don’t know yet is opening a track in your favorite DAW and dropping a plugin on it, flipping virtual switches, turning virtual knobs and moving virtual sliders is an attempt at futility. Let’s take a scenario. You purchased a plugin that contains a few different amplifiers. Just for giggles you open up an amp plugin with lots of distortion and you start recording. You try to show what it sounds like with different amounts of overdrive, maybe flip a fat switch, maybe turn up the mids, etc., etc.
While you are recording and listening to the monitors you definitely hear the changes you are making. One big problem. When you play the track back you will only hear the final change you made. If you save the track as an mp3 or a wave file, the hole file will only sound like the last change you made. All changes you made previous to the final change are lost. Frustration sets in because you just created the best demo of this plugin ever recorded and wasted your time only to come up empty handed.
So, this is how I get around this problem successfully. It took listening to dozens of YouTube videos none of which exactly explained it in total and were not using the same equipment or software I was. I always came up a few explanations short.
Using a Focusrite 18i16 4th gen interface I gradually was able to put all the pieces together. DAW is Presonus Studio One 7 Pro.
