“I’ve been producing and mixing for years and genuinely thought my monitoring was already pretty flat.
Turns out… I was living a lie.
I’m using Sonarworks with both a 2.1 setup and a 2.0 setup, measured with their own calibration microphone. The process itself is straightforward, but the results are honestly mind-blowing.
After the room analysis and implementation, the difference was immediate and undeniable. Low end suddenly made sense, stereo imaging snapped into focus, and decisions that used to feel “almost right” became obvious. What I thought was a balanced system turned out to be heavily colored by my room.
On the 2.1 setup, the bass integration became tight and controlled instead of boomy or misleading. On the 2.0 setup, translation improved massively — mixes now sound consistent across headphones, cars, and other systems.
This isn’t subtle. It’s a world of difference.
Sonarworks doesn’t make your speakers sound “better” — it makes them honest. And that honesty completely changes how you work. Faster decisions, more confidence, less second-guessing.
Huge recommendation for anyone serious about mixing or producing. Once you hear your room properly corrected, there’s no going back.”
“I’m absolutely thrilled with the Virtual Monitoring add-on. Sometimes I catch myself needing a brief moment to tell whether the music is coming from my speakers or from the headphones. There can hardly be a better compliment for the product. Thank you, Sonarworks — and please keep up the great work!”
“I really like the Virtual Monitoring. I only wish the software would be a bit more snappy when switching between different configurations of virtual monitoring setups and different audio devices. You can sometimes hear a clicking sound when switching between devices. I already communicated this with Sonarworks support.”
