Fender Studio Pro Is Your DAW.
Aliada Is Where Mixes Get Reviewed.
Fender Studio Pro+ Workspaces (the collaboration feature of the DAW formerly called Studio One) lets Studio Pro users pass sessions back and forth. Aliada is for everyone else in the loop: clients listen from a link, leave feedback on the waveform, and every mix version is kept.

What Workspaces and Aliada Have in Common
Both keep your audio in the cloud and let you work on it with other people. Here's the overlap:
Where Aliada Goes Further
Workspaces is built for people who all use the same DAW. Aliada is built for getting a mix heard, discussed and approved.
Reviewers Only Need a Link
Clients and artists listen in the browser from a private link, no account needed.
Every Workspaces collaborator needs a MyFender account and an accepted invitation, and working on the shared session needs Fender Studio Pro.
Feedback on the Waveform
Comments pinned to the exact moment in the mix (commenters use a free account).
Fender's documentation describes a message timeline for the whole Workspace, not comments tied to a moment in a track.
Every Version Kept
Each new mix becomes a new version of the track, with notes on what changed.
Workspaces syncs the latest files with Send and Receive. The manual documents no version history or version comparison.
A/B Compare Versions
Your team can switch between any two versions to hear what changed.
Useful for checking whether a revision actually fixed the note it was meant to fix.

Getting a Mix Approved
The biggest difference shows up when the person giving notes isn't a Fender Studio Pro user. Here's the same review round on each:
With Workspaces
- 1. Share the session from Fender Studio Pro
- 2. Client creates a MyFender account and accepts the invite
- 3. Notes arrive as messages in the Workspace timeline
- 4. You Send the updated session; it replaces the last one
- 5. Earlier mixes live wherever you saved them
With Aliada
- 1. Upload Mix v1 and send a private link
- 2. Client listens in the browser, no account needed
- 3. Notes land on the waveform, at the exact moment
- 4. Upload Mix v2 as a new version of the same track
- 5. Your team compares v1 and v2 to check the fix

How is Aliada different from Fender Studio Pro+ Workspaces?
