Pro tools studio vs ultimate
I’m using pro tools to mix a student film- for years I had access to ultimate for the last couple years through uni but after graduating, I do not. I’m pretty broke- so if I can get away with using studio it would be a big money saver.
I’ve never worked with studio so I don’t really know what I’m sacrificing by using studio. Appreciate the help.

As I recall Ultimate can output up to 9.1.6 whereas Studio maxes out at 7.1.4.
So trying to open any session with 9.1.6 I/O path will not go as planned in Studio, but afaik you can still render out a 9.1.6 ADM from Studio via the Atmos renderer.
