Hi all! First off thank you for your time & help.
I have been using Studio One for a couple months now(Free version, came with a MIDI keyboard I bought) and now that I am started to get the hang of using a DAW, I've been wanting to upgrade to a better version but I have a major problem.
Studio One 'messes' with my computer/speakers. Here is whats happening.
If I have a program open that has the capability of producing sound(Internet, iTunes, ect) before I open Studio One, Studio One will not produce any sound through the speakers. Studio One will function normally(registers key strokes, edit tracks & such) except for playing sound through my speakers.
Now if I have Studio One open first and open another program, the opposite happens. Studio One will play sounds and function completely normally, but the other program(s) will not play sounds through the speakers. Everything functioning perfectly normal, except for what is happening with the sound.
Anyone have any idea how to alleviate this problem? I really like Studio One and am very appreciative of what is included with the free version compared to other DAWs and would rather purchase Studio One than another but to me this is a very large problem and do not want to spend the money unless I can fix this.
I have looked through the FAQs and searched the forums and couldn't find anyone else who had this problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks & have a good day.

In Studio One under Configure Audio Device>Advanced>Audio there's a check box called 'Release Audio Device in Background' that should probably be changed.

That seems to have done it! Thanks a bunch!
EDIT: After playing around with it for a bit there are still some similar problems. I cannot get more than 1 program to make sound at once.
I will get no sound from Studio One if;
-Studio One was not opened first
-If I tab out of Studio One
-If another program plays sound after Studio One has been opened, Studio One gets completely muted and I have to close all programs and re-open them
My other programs seem to operate just fine since Studio One likes to mute itself.
Is there any way to completely bypass this function?

I will often have an input in Studio One set up with bass or guitar amp modeling software, and have iTunes open and practice along with a playlist. Both programs output audio through my FireStudio Projects at the same time with no issues and I don't think it makes any difference on the order in which I open applications
I know it's possible to do what (I think) you're trying to do, but it's unclear to me exactly where you're going wrong.

I'll do some more searching and tinkering with the program, still learning new stuff everyday and eventually get it figured out. I appreciate the help a lot!

Hi people,
I bought an SSD so it was time to set up my studio from scratch.
I installed my Komplete Ultimate 9 package and Massive just doesn´t show up. Everything is there: Absynth, Battery, FM8, Kontakt, so on. Just Massive doesn´t appear.
Yes, i did tell Studio One the correct folder, the plugin is NOT 64 bit and neither is my sequencer (vst bridges suck for the most part).
Has anyone experienced this issue and knows how to solve it?
I´m very desperate, Massive is my most frequently used synth.
Thanks in advance!

Go to Studio One -> Options -> Locations -> VST Plug-ins and select Reset Blacklist. Then re-scan your VST folder and check if that solve the issue. If not, go to View -> Additional Views -> Messages and post log here.

You have no idea just how much i love you now. Thanks so much!
Resetting the blacklist solved the problem!

I have Kontakt 5 and all .dll files are in the right folder, and Studio One is set to scan that location. Plugin still wont show up in Studio One still, even after resetting blacklist. Reinstalled Kontakt 5 and specified different folder C:/Program Files/Presonus/Studio One 3/ Plugins (this is default location when I ran Studio One for the first time)
Studio One Professional 64bit (and yes, I installed 64bit Kontakt)
Why can't I see Kontakt?

yea im having the same prop my kontact 5 does not show up in Studio one but all my other Native instruments work ?? Help

Check if it's 64 or 32bit .. might have installed wrong architecture by accident
