“This review is specific to the Apollo Monitor Correction Add-on as a stand-alone purchase.
I had already purchased the sonarworks SoundID Reference software and mic and was very much enjoying the results. But when I upgraded my interface to an Apollo X, the opportunity to improve the workflow by removing the necessity to add/remove/adjust the plug-in for every disparate action from mixdown to switching from speakers to headphones made the purchase of this relevant.
Pros:
It works perfectly.
I like how simple the whole thing ties in.
Totally helps with that aforementioned workflow.
Cons:
Price. I feel it's too steep for such a specifric use case. Charging more just because I didn't buy it at the same time as the software is lame.
App opens at startup and forces interaction if the interface isn't on.
SoundID REference I give 5 stars. THe pricing on the add-on is really the only reason this drops to 3. If it were $50 as it costs when purchased together, it'd be a 5 as well.”
