What would you say is the easiest/best way to get high quality sound from youtube into Studio One?

 

Virtual audio cable v4.6 maybe.

 

Some Interfaces support "Loopback" which will literally copy the sound you hear 1:1 into your DAW.
However Youtube quality in general sucks because it gets compressed to 128 kbit/s or something.
So you could pretty much use any Youtube Converter to get what you want.

Some people also provide links to used music in their video description.

 

There's a few ways..by Far the easiest for me... Grab a 3.5mm cable and plug your smartphone into your computer with it... This is what I do as a fast and easy solution. I'm not one to waste hours trying to get some 3rd party software virtual patch cables working lol. I'm too old for that.

Point this to Youtube videos and calls it to come and get into Studio One..

 

With an Asio interface?
If it does not have loopback, try O Deus Asio Link Pro (sister site)

Code:

youtube-dl.exe -f "bestaudio[ext=m4a]" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx"

 

Best and direct way, use JDownloader!

How Much we talking for this fine piece of Technology?

 

I like it that way either, after downloading the whole piece of interest you can so simply visualize its waveform ...

 

That's an oxymoron, there's no high quality audio in YT vids.
Mostly a less than 128kbps audio file is embedded in the vids, with something like JDownloader you have access to the inherent [?] container which provides normally a 128kbps audio file, in rare cases it is a bit higher.

Nightmix disagree my solution? Why Nightmix?
Do you have better solution than to use the native source of the content?
