Dear Helle,
indeed, you can't create a term base within Studio, you do that in MultiTerm. That's not a problem, though: AFAIK, there is no way of buying Studio without MultiTerm. You can buy MultiTerm without buying Studio though, which makes sense, as it is a very powerful tool for terminologists.
I'm not sure though whether the trial version of Studio comes with MultiTerm.
The possibilities of MultiTerm are really innumberable, but when using it from within Studio, it miserably fails to perform its core function: reliably finding terms in the source text and displaying the relevant termbank entry. Within Studio, the best you are going to get is some of the terms, sometimes - which is actually worse than not having a termbase at all.
I haven't got much experience with MemoQ, but I believe that while having less functions, it's better in this regard.
