“the corrective eq allowed me to better understand reference tracks by professionals, and gave me much more confidence in my monitoring (and hence production/mixing). after trying the demo i knew i had to make the full purchase, with the measurement microphone for peace of mind of accuracy.
the ability to test different output 'colors' also changed my perception of mixing radically, especially when i felt my ears adjust to the different output simulations”
“at first i was a little skeptical but so far this has been the best investment i have ever purcharsed . only suggestion .... is make something for the speakers directly or come up with a program that minummizes latency .”
Hello,
Thank you for the review!
For the lowest latency, there are a few options - using the right filter type and simply using the plugin if you are working within the DAW.
For a DAW workflow, the plugin will offer little to no latency as it is designed for such a scenario. keep in mind to bypass the plugin upon export if you are not using a control room/listen bus.
I hope this helps!
“i cant always be sitting at home in my home studio, so when I need to be on the go I can trust that I will get the best possible sound out of my headphones for whatever work I have to get done”
“Measuring my montitors with the Sonarworks Reference Bundle and the included microphone just opened new gates for me. The way I'm able to control the low end of my productions is just a game changer. It gives me a lot of confidence knowing that I can work from a linear standpoint.”
“Amazing. I can finally completely trust my speakers (and headphones!) after years of trying to tackle room modes and speaker boundary reflection problems with tears in my eyes and my teeth gnashed. Setting up was easy and using the software is effortless.”
“Really enjoyed calibrating and digging into the materials! For those of us at the beginning, it might be useful to have a more "Sonarworks for dummies" video - as in, "Here is what it sounds like without calibration - and here is why you would use this!" When I get into the app, I'm a little overwhelmed by the options and want to just have a clear understanding of how and why I'm using it! I just want to trust the sound in my room - I will certainly evolve in my understanding - but want to simply start there. YouTube is helpful - but I'd rather have tht information from the pros like you! Great product for the growing home studio community!”
“The product is great and the measurement microphone works well but understanding an extra cost might need to be added, an option to purchase the XLR cord for the mic might make things simpler for customers like myself that did not already have one. I purchased the required cord seperately from a different vendor.”
