I am a musician and voiceover artist that has been interested in learning a bit more about the engines behind the audio.

Is it free to learn this software?

Which software do I need? Just the studio version?

As mentioned on [http://www.fmod.org/products/](http://www.fmod.org/products/) and [http://www.fmod.org/sales/](http://www.fmod.org/sales/), FMOD Studio is indeed free to learn. As for what software you need, that depends on what software you want to learn about.
