“Amazingly accurate, transparent, and easy to use. I just select which cans I'm using -- Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250 ohm or Sennheiser HD 650 (depending on recording or mixing/mastering -- and Sonarworks makes the baseline as flat as possible. This is critical for me since I run my sessions entirely through headphones nowadays due to living arrangements. Thanks so VERY much, Sonarworks, for making me feel much more confident about my mixes. I only wish you could introduce a popup window when I click "Export" to remind my forgetful self to turn the insert off in my master track before my "Doh!" moments.”
“If you already have good monitoring headphones, SoundID will make that experience multiple times better! I use two different headphone sets, and the fact that SoundID can make them sound identical is mind-blowing!”
“Installation went smoothly to my laptop. The dark theme is a neat feature, I use it always on. Overall Reference helps me to step "out of the box" when mixing at home. I would recommend it to anyone who is mixing music with headphones in a home studio. The only thing which I miss is to be able to maximize the window. On my laptop's screen, it would help me. However, it's not a show-stopper at all.”
“I’m obliged to mix my music by headphones (annoying neighbors) and I was struggling to get what I wanted until I finally tried SoundID Reference for Headphones. It changed my perception of mixing by headphones and now I feel more confident both about the choices I make and what I can learn from listening my projects properly. Your product is excellent. Bravi”
“Great software for mix monitoring and casual listening. For mix monitoring, it helps you get better information with your headphones and studio monitor. As for casual listening, you can set your personal preferences for EQ. Either way, Sonarworks rocks”
“I have a terrible set of monitors so I've got to mix on headphones.
Sonarworks Reference ID gives me a neutral hearing.
That's all I need, thank you!
Keep the good work!”
“Completely satisfied with the overall experience. All the info was available before making the purchase, and installation and setup including DAW integration was a breeze. Currently busy with the 1st project and looking forward to the end result.”
“I've installed the SoundID Reference on two computers. The first is for use with my DAW, and it works flawlessly. I can turn it on for a flat sound, or bypass it to hear it through my normal headphones.
I thought that I should acclimate my ears to a flatter EQ curve, so I installed it on my work computer, where I can use it to listen to music during the day. Once again, it's as simply as turning it on and getting a flat EQ curve.
However, for some reason I cannot use it outside my DAW on that computer. Whether the DAW is running or not, if SoundID Reference is active, anything I listen to has constant pops/crackles, to the point of being unlistenable. If I completely shut down Sonarworks, the problem goes away. I've tried every setting I can find in the program, and nothing solves the problem (the setting that looked most promising actually left me with no sound output at all).”
