Much, considering that Studio Pro v8 is the next iteration of Studio One v7. They even kept the version numbering going

I havent watched much on vids, and I dont have Fender Pro. Hah, "so what can this cat offer?"
I would simply say, just be tracking, and developing on your own if and when possible. Studio One has been a brick with dependability since practically its inception. Not just for me or coming from some fanboy perspective. Most by far, users I've encountered just get in there and work with it. Experience will set your workflow, and best tricks. Such as navigating and scaling using shortcut keys. Develop a few, or working knowledge of a few macros. This will really sharpen your workflow.
If you do watch a few videos, try a few from seasoned mix engineers who actually teach fundamentals, about listening, translating your mix, or acoustic improvement around your studio/workplace. Otherwise there are just too many weenies (wanna-be's) trying to use terms like "glue" who know as much about compression as the horse hoof glue is made from. For any actual Studio One/Pro video's specifically, keep to a few good choices. I'd recommend Lukas, and Marcus Huyskens.
Many other self proclaiming insiders, are skin deep and only provide brief "try this" methodology. This often leads viewers missing a better skill set (options and speed).
Just my two cents worth. If you learn by doing (which I believe you do), you'll be way better off than viewing so many vids. Except by those mentioned. ; )
Cheers!

After reading the OP., in my mind it asks a question!
Why in this age of technological wizardry pdf or inline help manuals/files, do not include links to associated or related vids that aid and help folk to gain answers to subjects they are looking up?
Lukas et al, have very kindly created a database of video's available via this forum, most of which are applicable today.
Kindest regards to all.

The fun of coffee and a video is the 'I didn't know it can do that too, or faster' experience, to store away for when the need arises.
(So as a hint ideally a video shouldn't be longer than the time it takes to finish a cup, or maybe two
).
To find the answer to a specific question is a completely different experience though, usually being pressed for time to solve a problem. The video tutorials filter on this site is a great starting point for that. The linked video's have been vetted for relevance, just be aware that newer versions of S1/SP may have faster ways to reach an intended result.

Have you ever tried running off to the toilet with a CBase manual whilst an hesitant client looks on and your the guy who's supposed to know
what's what.
All the best. giggle

Repeating myself: For this purpose, I use Google‘s NotebookLM on my iPad and feed it with the manuals and YouTube links (where it fetches the transcripts). Then I can take the usual AI chatbot approach and ask anything I want regarding Studio One. Works like a charm.

Thanks for all your input. Sometimes, what I need to find out is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
^^^I won‘t touch AI with a 10 foot pole. Yes, I am a Luddite. I expect that once I‘m up and running, I‘ll appreciate its features and stability. I‘m working on my first template now, just a basic RnR one, drums, guitar/bass sims, B3X organ, piano, synth, mic inputs. I have a ways to go, but I‘ll get there. Right now, I‘m checking out the Mustang amp sims.
Again, thank you for your time!

With that, you are welcome in this camp, anytime!
Well, that tends to be a bit confusing, and conflicting. As any DAW, will help you to reach an immense part of achieving your musical goals. Otherwise, you might consider a parlor guitar, and washboard for the rythm section. ; ) Perhaps a violin, trumpet, etc. Confusing because then it sounds like you'd be destroying labor saving tools for some things, and not others (like a DAW). I'd be curious how you separate folks in the middle who might need both.
Anyway, this is all in good fun so dont take my response too seriously. I believe (and have mentioned) there truly are rewards and fruits for one's hard labor.

I draw the line at letting a machine compose something instead of me. It is also one reason I am wary of arpeggiators. But I don‘t have the time or money to learn orchestral instruments, so I permit myself the use of VIs. Drums would have our neighbours at the door with pitchforks and torches. Everything laid down is by me.
Though I have to admit that google ai has given me a few quick answers:
I‘ve got basic functionality down, now. My 1st template has the multi-out ADD2, 4 Mustang amp setups, Omnisphere, Hive 2, Synchron Piano, IK B3X organ, Kontakt Farfisa, Sampletron 2 flute.
Basic midi and audio editing; general getting around to various windows/parameters.
Time soon for some nitty gritty stuff, like using layers for audio.
The more I‘m learning about this program, the more impressed I am.

Great answer.
If the process were to evoke some push or stimulus to help complete their goal, like a chord finder, or arpegiator to build on. Well... fine (somewhat, depending). Ultimately, the task should be an enhancement tool, and not a do-all, gum-ball machine "here it is" tool. Unfortunately, people can be lazy and take the easiest way out. Not good.
Good speak, my friend.

This I can understand and unless you are familiar with the jargon or terminology in use it becomes a compounded problem.
There plenty of folk on here willing to help where possible.
You appear to be on your way and moving along OK tho'.
Kindest regards
