      Studio One (macOS)

      HubSpot Video

      There are many use cases and workflows for each DAW when integrating Sessionwire for remote collaboration. We have created a basic template for each DAW to give an idea of what routing should look like in order to avoid feedback loops between users connected in Sessionwire Studio.

      It is recommended that all recording be done on the performing side of the Sessionwire call - meaning one side needs to have a DAW open to record in, while the other simply monitors the performance through Sessionwire.

      Each user may be using a different DAW or may/may not be using an audio interface - therefore, each user will need to reference the correct signal flow diagram for their particular DAW and setup.

      Below are common setups when using Sessionwire alongside Studio One.

      Sending Audio from Studio One

      This workflow is the simplest way to get up and running with Studio One alongside Sessionwire. Simply placing the Sessionwire Send plugin on the Master Fader of a Studio One session will produce the same results as in the downloadable template. We recommend working this way unless your system requires using additional Sessionwire plugins and routing.

      1. Set Sessionwire's Talkback Microphone and Talkback Speaker exactly as you would any video conferencing software - in the above image, the input is a webcam microphone and the output is the system's default output (an audio interface in this instance).

      2. Ensure the HQ Audio Source is set to Sessionwire Send Plugin.

      3. Ensure the HQ Audio Destination is the system's default output.

      4. Insert the Sessionwire Send plugin on the Main channel in the Studio One Session.

      Sending and Receiving Audio within Studio One

      This workflow will allow the sending of audio from a Studio One session while simultaneously receiving remote HQ audio directly into a Studio One session.

      NOTE: In the Studio One template, both the Main and Stereo Out busses are routed to hardware output 1/2 using the I/O matrix - it is necessary to have both in order to avoid feedback loops between users on a Sessionwire Studio call.

      1. In Studio One's I/O Setup, create an output called "Stereo Out" - route this output to the system's main stereo output - it should be identical to the "Main" output. This is not necessary if the Listen Bus is available (Studio One 5). If the Listen Bus is available, it can be used in the place of the "Stereo Out" output.

      2. Set Sessionwire's Talkback Microphone and Talkback Speaker exactly as you would any video conferencing software - in the above image, the input is a webcam microphone and the output is the system's default output (an audio interface in this instance).

      3. Ensure Sessionwire's HQ Audio Source is set to Sessionwire Send Plugin.

      4. Set Sessionwire's HQ Audio Destination to Sessionwire Receive Plugin.

      5. Route all audio in the session to be streamed to the Main channel in Studio One.

      6. Insert the Sessionwire Send plugin on the Main channel.

      7. Create a Stereo Audio Track and set the output of the track to Stereo Out, bypassing the Main channel - label the Aux "SW HQ Receive".

      8. Insert the Sessionwire Receive plugin on the "SW HQ Receive" aux.

      To record HQ audio from the remote connection, route the output of the SW HQ Rcv track to any unused bus and selecting the input of the destination track as that same bus.

      Using an Audio Interface for All Audio

      In this workflow, it is assumed that an audio interface is being used as the input and output device of Studio One. A talkback mic is plugged into any channel of an audio interface and the input of the SW TB Send channel is set to the corresponding channel (circled in image above).

      NOTE: In the Studio One template, both the Main and Stereo Out busses are routed to hardware output 1/2 using the I/O matrix - it is necessary to have both in order to avoid feedback loops between users on a Sessionwire Studio call.

      1. In Studio One's I/O Setup, create an output called "Stereo Out" - route this output to the system's main stereo output - it should be identical to the "Main" output. This is not necessary if the Listen Bus is available (Studio One 5). If the Listen Bus is available, it can be used in the place of the "Stereo Out" output.

      2. Set Sessionwire's Microphone input to Sessionwire Talkback Send Plugin.

      3. Set Sessionwire's Speaker output to Sessionwire Talkback Receive Plugin.

      4. Create a Mono Audio Track whose input is the audio interface channel that the talkback microphone is plugged into, and whose output is Stereo Out, bypassing the Main channel - label this track "SW TB Send". Input arm this track and mute it to avoid local feedback.

      5. Insert the Sessionwire Talkback Send plugin on the "SW TB Send" track.

      6. Create a Mono Audio Track whose input is No Input and whose output is Stereo Out, bypassing the Main channel - label this aux "SW TB Receive".

      7. Insert the Sessionwire Talkback Receive Plugin on the "SW TB Receive" Audio Track.

      8. Create a Stereo Audio Track whose output is Stereo Out, bypassing the Main channel - label this aux "SW HQ Receive".

      9. Insert the Sessionwire Receive plugin on the "SW HQ Receive" aux.

      10. Route all audio in the session to be streamed to the Main channel.

      11. Insert the Sessionwire Send plugin on the Main channel.

      To record HQ audio from the remote connection, use Studio One's routing to select the SW HQ Rcv track as the input of the destination track.
