On the modern days of audio production, mixing and mastering, engineers mostly use software tools to develop these tasks. Software companies develop programs designed for recording purposes, mixing purposes or mastering purposes, and often, engineers might find themselves in situations where multiple programs are used in order to work on a musical production. Studio One is a software that gives the engineer all the tools and functions needed in order to record, mix and also master music.
On these series of tutorials we will be working with the “Project” page of Studio One Professional. The Project page is designed for the sole purpose of mastering albums, EPs and music productions in general. It gives the engineers all the metering tools needed for mastering, as well as the ability to apply inserts to the tracks, master fader, audio exporting features, DDP creation and disc burning capabilities.
On this first blog we will explain how to Create a New Project, Save an existing project and Import Files into the Project.
