RADAR studio can operate in two modes: Workstation Mode and RADAR Mode.

RADAR Mode is the classic RADAR software and OS that has been developed since the early days of RADAR. It will be familiar to long-time RADAR users and provides the simple, reliable, and easy to use workflow similar to that of working with a tape machine, without all of the headaches connected to working with tape.

Workstation Mode runs on a highly customized version of Windows 8 Pro, which is designed to offer a high-performance audio workstation. Users can install ProTools or their favourite Digital Audio Workstation software (DAW), as well as virtual instruments, plugins, and other software. Workstation Mode allows the sound of RADAR’s converters to be accessed from right within a DAW.
