ProdHQ Studio: the Windows desk for radio production
Studio is the Windows desktop app in the ProdHQ suite — the full-service option for producers who arrange spots, promos, and imaging at a dedicated desk. Produce, Edit, Radio, and Export stay in one place, so you're not bouncing between separate tools to finish a cart and get it on air.
One desk, four rooms
Everything a radio spot needs to ship
Each room in Studio covers one stage of getting a spot, promo, or imaging piece from a rough idea to a file automation can actually take.
Edit
Fix the file
Surgical edits, effects, and markers on the audio itself — then save a WAV the station can keep as the reference copy.
Radio
Capture live
Call, cart, and lane-style capture for when the work is happening right now, not in a session pieced together from last week.
Export
Hand it to air
Type, rate, and labels for delivery — including WideOrbit WAV with SCOT when that's the house format your station runs.
Built for radio, not repurposed for it
The file has to work in automation
A lot of general-purpose audio editors can produce a clean mix and still hand automation a file it chokes on. ProdHQ Studio is built around that last step. WideOrbit WAV export gives you 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo audio with SCOT markers laid in — the layout stations already expect, so the cart imports clean instead of bouncing back for a re-export. Plain WAV and MP3 are there too, for the sessions where automation isn't the destination.
Intro and End markers travel with the file itself, so the next stop, sweeper, or liner hits on time whether it's cued up by you or by whoever's on the board after you. And because Studio sessions can live in ProdHQ Cloud, the next producer opens the same session — not a folder of untitled takes or a zip file passed around by email.
Studio also bundles ProdHQ LUMEN, an optional VST3 plugin included in Setup (on by default, easy to skip if you don't need it), for producers who want it in their chain without hunting down a separate install.
Questions
Straight answers about Studio
How do I install ProdHQ Studio?
Create a ProdHQ account, then open My Account. Download ProdHQ Studio for Windows from there. During Setup you can include ProdHQ LUMEN (optional VST3, on by default). After install, sign in or start a demo — Setup does not unlock editing by itself. Subscribe when you need to export.
What's the difference between Studio and Express?
Studio is the Windows desk app: Produce, Edit, Radio, and Export, plus VSTs and the full finish path. Express is the browser — the same kind of session work when you need it done without installing anything. See the Express overview.
Will this export for WideOrbit?
Yes. Choose WideOrbit WAV and you get 44.1 kHz / 16-bit / stereo with SCOT. Plain WAV and MP3 are there when automation is not the destination.
