Studio One Project Tools v2

Studio One Project Tools v2 is a beta-stable utility for safe cleanup, consolidation, recovery and crash diagnostics of Studio One / Fender Studio Pro projects.

Core idea

The tool helps create a clean autonomous copy of a Studio One project without overwriting the original .song file.

It can collect referenced audio, recover missing files, identify unused and duplicate side files, create safe cleaned project copies, and analyze crash dumps without WinDbg or cdb.

Highlights

• Clean autonomous project copy.
• Fast missing audio search across connected drives through Everything / es.exe.
• Relinked .song copy creation.
• Safe no-bypassed-FX project copy.
• Plugin scanning by tracks and FX slots.
• Detection of unused files and duplicate side files.
• Batch consolidate for multiple projects.
• Built-in Crash Analyzer without WinDbg/cdb.
• Minidump parser, stack memory scan, score/rank evidence.
• Clear Everything test result.

Features

Project cleanup and consolidation

• Create a clean autonomous project copy.
• Copy referenced audio into a new project folder.
• Recover missing audio into a new relinked .song copy.
• Keep the original project untouched.
• Copy unused and duplicate side files into separate folders.
• Prepare projects for transfer, backup, archiving or delivery.

Missing file recovery

• Uses Everything / es.exe for fast search across connected drives.
• es.exe is detected automatically when bundled next to the app.
• Test button checks the standard compatible Everything interface.
• Test is neutral and does not depend on WAV/SONG files existing in the user index.

Plugin tools

• Parse plugins by track and FX slot.
• Detect bypassed FX.
• Create a separate no-bypassed-FX .song copy.
• Keep original .song safe.

Audio / file analysis

• Referenced files.
• Missing files.
• Duplicate candidates.
• Unused side files.
• Project-side files that are not referenced by the .song.

Batch consolidate

• Scan a folder with multiple .song projects.
• Ignore autosaves/backups.
• Consolidate multiple projects one by one.
• Show progress and reports.

Crash Analyzer

Built-in crash analysis without WinDbg/cdb:

• Reads Studio One / Fender Studio Pro minidumps.
• Detects exception code and fault surface module.
• Scans stack memory for module evidence.
• Matches project FX only through stack evidence.
• Uses score= for project FX matches.
• Uses rank= for generic non-system modules.
• Highlights strongest score/rank evidence.

Safety model

The tool is designed around safe copies:

• original .song is not overwritten;
• cleanup creates separate .song copies;
• recovery creates relinked copies;
• consolidation creates a new autonomous folder;
• reports are written separately.

Requirements

Development:

python 3.11+
pip install -r requirements.txt

Runtime:

• Windows
• Studio One / Fender Studio Pro projects
• Everything installed and running for missing-file search
• optional es.exe placed next to the app or selected in Settings

Run from source

python main.py

Build Windows EXE

On Windows:

BUILD_WINDOWS_EXE.bat

Output:

dist\StudioOneProjectTools\StudioOneProjectTools.exe

For beta-stable, the onedir build is preferred because es.exe can stay next to the main EXE and be detected reliably.
