“I'm a hobbyist producer but have been doing it for a good while now. Since I don't really have a dedicated, acoustically treated room to mix my productions in, I tried Sonarworks. I can say without a doubt it was the most consequential purchase I ever made, both hardware and software. After a few months of using it, my productions have improved massively. I can't live without it now, especially having purchased the Virtual Monitoring Addon. It's simply surreal how my mixes translate perfectly to the emulated devices.”
“The Virtual Monitoring Add-on is a little pricey for my limited needs. But, as I got SoundID Reference on sale, I decided to future-proof and go ahead and purchase it as well. I've only used it limitedly, but it appears to work as intended. No issues so far. Do wish there was a hotkey for turning it on and off though! And maybe for switching through the various modes.”
“The Virtual Monitoring Add-on really gives a more natural hearing experience while listening/mixing on headphones. I don't use the far setting much, but I really like the near and sometimes the mid setting.”
“Having this as an add on to my headphone monitoring really helps me to understand how my tracks will sound out on a big system and gives me the confidence that what I hear in my headphones is what I'll hear when I play my tracks out live”
