Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on my next Studio One/Studio Pro add-on and I'm at a point where I'd like to involve you directly in the process.

Some features are already implemented, others are still in the concept phase - and instead of deciding everything on my own, I'd love to hear what would actually be most useful in your daily workflow.

The add-on focuses on editing, navigation, and cleanup tasks - essentially a collection of workflow tools and commands designed to speed up everyday actions, especially when using keyboard shortcuts or macros.

Here's an early draft of the toolbar for the add-on:

View attachment 3292

The add-on will be compatible with Fender Studio Pro 8, as well as Studio One 6 and 7. (Some functionality may only be available in FSP 8.)
Like my other Studio One/Pro add-ons, it will be available at: https://s1toolbox.com/studioonescripts


👉 The poll is at the top of this thread. See the descriptions below for details!
Pick up to 4 features that would be most useful to you.

Note: This doesn't mean the top X will 100% make it in - but your feedback will heavily influence what goes into the 1.0 version.[/B]


🔧 Feature Ideas​

  1. Track Markers / Time-based Track Notes
    Create markers directly on individual tracks (instead of only using the global marker track), for example to add notes directly on a guitar or vocal track.
    Includes a dedicated list view to quickly navigate between all Track Markers.

  2. Save & Recall Track Selection
    Quickly save a track selection and recall it at any time - useful for jumping between different working setups in larger projects.

  3. Instrument Favorites (Quick Insert)
    Create a list of your favorite instrument plug-ins and access them via a fast selection dialog.
    Insert instruments in seconds - either with just a few clicks or entirely via keyboard.

  4. Reverse & Shuffle Events
    Quickly reverse or reorder selected events to experiment with variations, sound design, or creative rearrangements.

  5. A/B Track Group Testing
    Create and recall groups of tracks for quick A/B comparisons.
    Easily solo, mute, or switch between different track groups to compare arrangements or mixes. (Concept still evolving)

  6. Cursor-Based Event Selection
    A fast way to make precise edits without manual selection. Select events relative to the cursor position:

    • Select Events before Cursor
    • Select Events under/at Cursor
    • Select Events after Cursor

  7. Auto-Colorize Tracks
    Automatically assign colors to tracks based on their names - for example, all drums, bass, or vocals instantly grouped visually.

  8. Sort Tracks by Name / Color / etc
    Quickly organize your session by sorting tracks alphabetically or by color for better overview and structure.

  9. Split Events at Markers / Arranger Sections
    Automatically split events at marker positions or arranger sections - for restructuring or preparing arrangements.

  10. Select Events by Color (for color-coded events)
    Quickly select all events with the same color - either globally or limited to specific tracks. Useful for audio editing if you use colors to group or organize different types of events in your session.


✅ Already Implemented / Planned​


These are features that are already implemented and very likely to be part of the 1.0 version:
  • Batch Track Renaming
    Rename multiple tracks at once (set names, add prefixes/suffixes, search & replace).

  • Create Markers & Sections from Selected Events
    Instantly generate markers or arranger sections based on selected events.

  • Advanced Event Movement (Move all selected events to cursor)
    Move selected events directly to the cursor position with a single shortcut.

  • Advanced Event Trimming via Shortcuts
    Fast trimming workflows using keyboard shortcuts for precise editing.

  • Arranger Section Features
    Add arranger sections at the cursor, create section presets, and automatically generate arranger sections and markers from selected events.

  • Goto commands for Bars, Events and Markers
    Jump to specific bars, events and markers. This can be used via keyboard shortcuts or in macros ("Goto Bar 5 and add Arranger Section with name [X]" etc).

  • Fade in / out Events
    Add fades to events with predefined length/type/bend (for usage in macros). This way you can create "fade presets".

  • Track Color Tools
    Quickly assign colors, create gradients, or generate unique color variations across tracks.

  • Bypass / Activate Plug-ins via Shortcuts or Macros
    Quickly bypass or (de)activate plug-ins in specific channels without using the mouse or even without opening the console at all - can be used for fast A/B checks, workflow shortcuts or live performance.

  • Focus Workspaces commands
    Commands to focus specific workspaces in Studio One/Studio Pro like Arrangement, Browser, Editor, Console. Mainly for using macros.
… and many more smaller tools and commands.

I'll keep you updated here as development progresses - really curious to see what you all pick.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Lukas,
I appreciate your efforts. To be honest, more than anything could you try to find a way to stabilize the Console View? The tracks commonly resort themselves and you have to drag them all back where they belong. Could you maybe make a LOCK CONSOLE VIEW toggle? Please? :)

Track markers- time based notes is a super idea! +1
Batch track renaming is helpful +1

Track colors- the most useful feature would be to allow the HIGHLIGHT color to be selected from a separate menu- you literally cannot see to edit with most of the highlight colors at present.

Thanks again!
Giselle

BTW Studio Pro 8 is the best version of Studio One yet. You guys did a really nice job. :)
