Not sure if all DAWs have things classified as songs and projects but I just bought Studio One and I don't understand the difference.

I found this maybe it helps.
Scroll down to the second part.

Song vs. Project

But i understand that song files are the files you record in and project files are for mastering.

It's not about what you got to use .... but how you use what you got...

In Studio One, a song is a song, and a project is for mastering multiple songs in the Project Page, which is very cool. It's one of the features I wrote about in this story: https://en.audiofanzine.com/getting-started/editorial/articles/put-your-best-feature-forward.html
