“The SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring Add-On delivers accurate studio simulations for mixing in challenging spaces. Its ability to replicate multiple monitors and environments is impressive, though setup can be a bit tricky without the full SoundID software. Despite this, it’s a powerful tool for achieving reliable, professional results.”
“Definitely a worthwhile add-on to use headphones to virtually simulate a pair of low-endish near field, high-endish near/mid field, and high-end far-field monitors in stereo. I use the Sennheiser HD650, and normally mix with Mackie HR824. Mixes with the Mackies and the SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring translate very well. Thanks!”
“I really like the SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring Add-On—it has significantly improved my mixing and mastering decisions when working on headphones. I can’t imagine working without it anymore. However, the price feels too high, especially considering the core product struggled with stability and crashes for years. Offering only a €10 discount on Black Friday also felt underwhelming. This should have been a free update as a goodwill gesture to loyal customers.”
“Virtual monitoring Add-On is a good addition to the Sonarworks software. It helps to understand sound differences in multiple environments. It is a convenient solution to check your music and mixes in a different situations, which otherwise is not possible.”
“It just makes mixing on the go so much easier! It’s perfectly integrated with my Logic setup, so I don’t really have to think about anything else than music.”
