If you're looking to craft lifelike, dynamic drum tracks inside Studio One, you're in the right place. In this comprehensive Studio One video course, Studio One expert Gary Hiebner covers everything from basic setup and MIDI drum programming to advanced quantization, groove editing, and genre-specific techniques. You’ll learn how to turn static MIDI beats into expressive, natural-sounding drum performances that feel alive in any mix. By the time you're done, you'll be ready to employ these techniques in your very next track. These Studio One videos are designed for Studio One users new to drum programming.
The Studio One course begins with creating instrument tracks and configuring MIDI controllers, followed by a deep dive into Studio One’s built-in drum instrument, Impact, and the sampler, Presence. Gary demonstrates how to load presets, tweak sounds using envelopes and filters, and even layer or replace hits with audio samples for extra punch and character.
Next, you’ll learn to program drums efficiently using the Piano and Drum views, step-sequenced MIDI patterns, and multi-output setups for individual processing. Gary then explores various timing tools, including quantization, groove quantization, and velocity editing, showing how each can add groove, dynamics, and realism to your performances.
The final section focuses on advanced performance techniques and practical examples. You’ll learn to add ghost notes, program fills, use macros for humanization, and create custom drum maps. Gary concludes with three full genre examples— rock, jazz, and trap - demonstrating how to tailor velocity, swing, and groove for authentic results in any style.
By the end of this Studio One course, you’ll have a complete workflow for programming realistic, expressive drum parts in Studio One. This is the quickest and easiest way to make your programmed drums sound live and musical.
