“Immediate difference in how well my mixes translated to other spaces! It's also great to be able to trust my headphones. I'm working in an old school bus with minimal acoustic treatment, so I was skeptical about how much difference it could make. After a pretty simple calibration with a test mic from amazon, I could immediately hear things like I heard them in the studio they were cut in. Worth the money!”
“It does the job. It flattens my very bright HD560s and M50Xs. My mixes were too dull because of their natural highs. Now I know to compensate for these natural highs for a brighter mix that translates to other sound systems.
This is my first experience with a reference EQ system, so I have no frame of reference for whether Sonarworks is great or terrible. At the moment, and based on my experience, it's good. Expensive, but good.”
“The SoundID Reference software fixed the boomy and overwhelming sound of my listening room, making it much more pleasant and relaxing. The only drawback is losing a bit of bottom-end extension, but it's still miles better than before.”
