titleStep One: Insert ControlRoom Channel on your tracks in Studio One

Once you have launched your DAW and opened a session file, you’ll need to add an instance of ControlRoom Channel to any and every track that you’d like to control with the Spatial Mixer or Plugin Tablet. We recommend adding it as the last insert in your plugin chain, so that parameter changes in ControlRoom Channel will not affect any processing coming afterwards.

Please refer to your Studio One manual for instructions on inserting plugins.

titleStep Two: Insert ControlRoom Master on your main output

On your main stereo output, insert only one instance of ControlRoom Master. The master volume will be controllable via the Master Fader on the VR console.

Info

ControlRoom Master is designed to be inserted only one time in your session - on your main stereo output. This is because it is the source of timecode, bar|beat information, and master output level metering in ControlRoom VR. If you add more than one instance of ControlRoom Master to your session, proper display of these functions in VR cannot be guaranteed.

  • In VR, press the menu button on your left controller to bring up the menu, then select the Tools page, and turn on the Spatial Mixer. (menu in the below GIF is outdated, but the process is identical)
