Question

I bought a Blackstar ID Core 20 V2 amplifier for my guitar and I got a key for Studio One 3 Prime. I kinda figured out how to record and basic stuff, but I don't know how I can mix master. I watched few videos in youtube and most of them got a strange pannel like this: . I think they got this pannel with cliking "A new Project" in the start panel, But I don't have it. my starting panel and the normal panel looks like this: . Also they use a plugin named "compressor" but I don't have it. I got channel strip. So any tips for how can I open the "New project" stuff and how can I master?

(Note: we got so similar or same program with this dude I think: )

Answer 1

I believe the Mastering window is only available on Professional, thus you cannot open a 'project' in Prime

However, Prime should have a Compressor. You may have to look for it in a folder. Otherwise, there is a simple compressor function on the channel strip plug in.

Answer 2

Mixing can happen in any version but mastering is for the “Professional” version
