Here are the Pro version features that are not present in the Music version:
- Two dozen more acoustic environments
- An enhanced Reflections module that allows you to tweak the acoustical space details further
- Real-time Auralization algorithm, which allows you to simulate an acoustic space with more control
- More output format options (see Pro Manual for description on each)
- Input Channel Control slider
In essence, the Pro version is more geared towards the sound design and post-work, whereas the music version is easier absorbed in standard mixing and production workflows.
