I just downloaded FMOD Studio, and I’ve been playing with it for a grand total of two minutes now.

One thing I noticed: when I right-click on a .fsproj file and select “Open With” it had Visual Studio on the list of valid default programs. I found that odd, because why would Windows think to open the FMOD Studio project with Visual Studio?

Turns out that .fsproj is the file extension for F# projects in Visual Studio. I would recommend switching your extension to something that won’t conflict. Here’s a few reasonable alternatives:  
.fsproject  
.fmodstudioproject  
.fmodstudioproj  
.studioproject  
.studioproj  
.fmodproject  
.fmodproj

Or come up with your own 🙂 Anyway, this is obviously not a critical issue, but just thought it should be brought up.
