Here’s the big difference: As you add Songs to a Project (collection of Songs), the Songs and the Project are intelligently linked so that changes to one are automatically updated in the other. Inevitably, when you are mastering a project, you’ll need to change an arrangement or alter a mix. Studio One Pro keeps track of all these changes and automatically updates all Projects that contain the revised Song. Anyone who has resequenced an album for the 39th time to accommodate a tweak to a vocal outro on the 12th chorus knows how big an advantage this is!
Mastering an album is much more than sequencing and level matching, though. Studio One Pro provides all of the necessary tools for professional production, including a phase meter and spectrum and peak/RMS level meters with K-System options.
Once mastered, albums can be digitally released in WAV, AIFF, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis formats and can be saved as disc images and burned to Red Book-compliant CDs and DVDs, all within Studio One Pro!
