Inside the Box – Workflow-Focused Programs and Plugins

When we consider software for music production, we naturally think of DAWs and plugins, but studios also use non-audio software. Studio operators who are serious about the sound of their room may employ room correction applications to coax a more neutral, accurate tonal balance from their reference monitors.

And, of course, any studio that takes on paying clients will need software to man-age the business side—bookings, billings, and scheduling.
