After integrating Sound ID Reference into my music production workflow, I’ve seen a remarkable transformation in my mixing and mastering process. This tool has been a game-changer, particularly with its ‘Translation Check’ feature. My process begins with sculpting my mix using the ‘Mixcubes’ under studio speakers, allowing me to focus on the core elements of my sound. I then refine the mix through ‘NS11’ for precision, moving on to simulate real-world environments like ‘Car 2’ and ‘Smartphones’. This ensures my mix translates well across common listening scenarios. The magic doesn’t stop there; I apply finishing touches using the ‘B&K 1974 speaker target’, ensuring my mix’s fidelity to a wide range of audio environments. My final step involves the ‘Flat target section’, where I meticulously compare the ‘Near, mid, & far field’ to standard mixes, making any last adjustments. This comprehensive process, enabled by Sound ID Reference, works perfectly for me, elevating my mixes to professional standards. It’s not just a product; it’s my studio’s new cornerstone.
